Ay caramba! Lucky me! First, I chose Dan's Fence to build a beautiful 4-foot cedar fence providing a safe shady place (on the north side of my house, under several lovely trees) for my beloved old black labrador retriever to rest peacefully on summer days. Then, alas, days and days of rain delayed construction past the estimated start date of August 2nd. I called the folks at Dan's Fence and pleaded with them to start as soon as possible. Of course, I realized that other clients were ahead of me in line. Therefore, I humbly accepted the fact that construction of my new fence would probably not start until early September. Sigh! But then – Miracle of miracles – I received a Wednesday evening telephone call (August 16th) offering a Thursday morning start – the very next day! Apparently another client hadn't adequately cleared the landscape for their fence, therefore delaying the scheduled construction of their fence. Lucky me! Que emocionante! During the weeks after receiving my estimate on Wednesday, June 21st from Dan's Fence, I had labored nonstop for many days, removing brush, a small tree, a big shrub, and other vegetation growing in the path of my desired fence. I had then spent even more days chopping up the branches and loading up the debris into recyclable 50-pound-capacity paper sacks. Then, with help from a very kind neighbor, I methodically transported all that stuff to the neighborhood compost site. Pretty good work for a 71-year-old woman, eh? My wonderfully patient dog would often sit outside in the shade with me, but without a fence, she was obliged to remain on leash while we enjoyed the outdoors together. Inevitably the leash would end up getting wrapped around obstacles galore, entertaining neither dog nor human. So imagine my boundless joy when, Thursday morning, my energetic fence crew showed up to measure, dig, set posts, measure again, set string lines for the fence, re-measure, and construct, board by board, always meticulously checking measurements and leveling the fence. Their attention to detail was truly a wonder to behold. As a retired Air Force officer, I truly admire the workmanlike attention to detail demonstrated by Angel and Manuel, such amazing, indefatigable workers! Not just workers, mind you: Rather, craftsmen par excellence! El mejor absoluto! These sturdy workers dug holes for the fence posts, measuring and verifying as they went. But instead of abandoning the excavated soil in place, they generously agreed to haul the soil to my already fenced-in backyard, where they carefully filled in several trenches dug by my enterprising black labrador retriever! Neighbors and passers by continue to admire my new fence. In fact, one neighbor, only two blocks north, was so impressed that he hired Dan's Fence to build a safe enclosure for his own wonderful dog! More than one delivery carrier has told me how perfectly the gate hardware works . . . . no pulling or yanking on ill-fitting latches to open the gate . . . . just a gentle push on the well-designed latch, and presto! The gate opens! Dan's Fence delivered more than I could ever have expected from a conventional builder. From the visit by the gentleman who provided the estimate for the fence . . . . carefully measuring and then verifying the measurements, . . . . to the construction and completion, I continuously marveled at the attention to detail that made this experience so unforgettably wonderful! No trash was left behind – not a single scrap or nail or chip or shred. Everything that wasn't part of the fence – everything! – was meticulously rounded up and taken off site, leaving my yard cleaner than I would have left it if I had been the do-it-yourself builder. Mind you, that fence looks a heckuva lot more glamorous than any do-it-yourself project! And the perfectly-spaced cedar fence slats allow me, my guests and my dog to observe the neighborhood unobtrusively from inside this beautiful enclosure. Even better, the fence, set tastefully back from the sidewalk, enhances the appearance of my beautiful crab-apple tree, framing it as a work of art! If you value honesty, reliability, ethical business practices, and supreme attention to detail for a product of top-notch quality, look no farther than Dan's Fence!
