I wish all businesses were as easy, pleasant, and honest to deal with as Excel. I wanted to expand an existing vinyl fence and add two gates. The Project Coordinator at Excel listened to what I wanted and made some suggestion, but did not try a hard sell for goods or services. He explained in detail what the work crew would do and how the fence would be installed. Out of all the companies I contacted Excel was the only one to provide a written estimate. The price was reasonable and comparable to what other companies were quoting. The workers who responded to install the fence and gates were great. It was obvious they worked together in the past and were comfortable with each other. The supervisor went over everything with me before they started the job. He explained in detail what they would be doing. After the job was done the supervisor walked around the entire project with me, while explaining again what they did and answered questions. They definitely made sure I was happy with everything before they left. Another thing worth mentioning is their office and administrative staff. I made a point to stop by their office one day before the project. I believe the way an office appears and is run tells a lot about a business. Excel has a nice, clean office with very friendly and professional staff. A live person answers their phone, instead of getting an automated message, prompting you to press a number. It was a great experience from beginning to end. I will definitely use Excel for future projects.

Excel installed an exterior wooden fence for us in under two days. It looks great and really enhanced the way our house looks. We definitely recommend this company.

Excel install a replacement fence for my neighbor, and you did not provide replacement, instead angling towards my townhouse, taking several inches and placing the fence up against My Home. Excel scratched and bent siding in order to force the board on the fence. They refused To speak with me and refuse the problems. They took advantage of the elderly couple That hired them.

I'm so very glad we chose Excel! What a great experience from start to finish. Carlos and his crew are like a well oiled machine, they worked so well together and were so meticulous with every detail, all the way down to the clean up. Thank you so much for a beautiful deck. Will definitely be enjoying it for many years to come.

Excel Fencing and Decking was amazing from start to finish. Will came out and did my estimate and helped me figure out what made the most sense for our project. He was very knowledgeable about fencing requirements for when we eventually get a pool in the future. They worked with us on our installation date which we had to move several times because our house was still under construction. When it came time for installation both the deck crew and fence crews were absolutely great. I told all my neighbors when they asked who we used. Don't hesitate to call them. You won't regret it.

I can't say enough great things about this company. I am so pleased with my fence installed by Excel fencing and decking. Charlie, the owner, was great to work with and very helpful! The install crew that came out were very polite, hard working and did an amazing job from start to finish! I would definitely recommend this company.

The coordinator was punctual and personable. They gave suggestions and showed us brochures to help visualize the look. The pricing was within reason considering the price of everything has skyrocketed the past year or so. The install went off without a hitch and my parents are happily enjoying their privacy fence! 10/10 would recommend!

I DO NOT recommend working with Excel Fencing. We used them to install a fence around our single family home. I was under the impression it was going to be built to the specifications as indicated on our plot plan. We’ve had issues arise recently where I believe the fence was not installed to the correct measurements. I tried reaching out to Excel Fencing with no reply. My wife reached out and spoke with Charlie (who worked with us on the build) and he was highly inappropriate with her on the phone, he spoke very condescending and rude to her and accused us of trying to get something free from them. All we asked was to have them remeasure the fence to clarify if it was installed correctly. They flat out refused to do so. They wanted to charge us $200 to come out and measure, something they do for free for quotes. This tells me they know they installed it incorrectly and don’t stand by their product or their customer service. If I had to do it again I would use another company. Their webpage says the job isn’t done until we are 100% satisfied with the job. Well we aren’t satisfied. Poor customer service once they get your money!

It’s really sad that you get to put this unwarranted review up without recourse. Your fence was installed over a year ago per the contract and your approval. We have the signed contract from you along with the signed layout form which says you agree with the layout and accept responsibility for the layout and placement of the fence, we also have the signed completion certificate from you which says we did everything per the contract and that you are happy. You have recourse and can file a complaint through MHIC if you feel you have been wronged. Thank you for the bad review which should be a good review, Excel

Excel Fencing & Decking performed a spectacular job on installing my privacy fence. I met Mr. Charlie, the owner, as he is the one who prepared an estimate for a fence & deck. He was very patient, informative, and honest. The Foreman Tony and the installers were on time and very professional. I am so excited for Excel Fencing & Decking to install my deck! I highly recommend them.

Excel did a fantastic job from beginning to end. The suggestions made by the owner, Charlie, when he came out to do the quote made a nice difference with the look of the fence. Our timeline was delayed because COVID had delayed the construction of our pool and Charlie was very good at adapting the schedule to be able to fit our needs. The installation crew did a fantastic job with the installation and the finished the large project in one day. They never took a break in order to complete the job. Highly recommend.

Charlie and everyone at Excel were a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new fence. We were especially impressed by the fact that they installed a temporary fence for us (and our dog) free of charge for the interim period between the signing of the contract and installation.

The Excel team recently installed a vinyl fence at our home and we're very satisfied with the work. After the initial call to set up the appointment for a price estimate I was able to meet with Charlie within a week. He was able to take measurements and generate an estimate on-site and without any extra delay. After letting him know I was still shopping around and waiting on other estimates he didn't put any pressure on me to go with his company. His price point was very competitive but more so the estimated time until they could start work was considerably sooner compared to my other quotes. After signing with them, I received notification within a week on when the fence materials would be delivered to my home and the estimated day of the installation. They ended up starting work a day later due to the weather and the entire install took approximately a day and a half. Afterwards, I met with one of the installers to do a final walk-through where he was able to apply some finishing touches upon my request. Overall, the team was very courteous, forthcoming, and a pleasure to work with!
