If I could give this company 6 stars I would. Prompt, professional and most importantly they installed a great looking fence. Their prices are competitive if not less expensive than the competition.  I've gotten used to contractors over promising and under delivering but that was not the case here. Our fence is beautiful!!! 
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Thank you Memeber! It was good working with you guys and glad you got what you wanted. Between your new fence and the work American Outdoors did in your back yard, it is tied together beautifully and you have a lot to like. Thanks for trusting us and it was a pleasure. George"

Every one was excellent, from the installation crew to the owner every one was professional, and helpful. The crew cleaned up the area as they went along and were proud of their work and did a great job on the fence and so was George who came by and checked on progress and if I had any questions. So if you want a great fence, want a great quote and price, and most of all a great Value......Call George Dorrell at North Dallas Fence  & Arbor 
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Thanks Member, I'll be getting back to you soon to choose one of the 10 stain colors we offer that are on cedar planks. You will see why waiting to stain is superior over pre-stained fences once we stain it and it last twice as long as any pre-stained cedar on the market, even if using the same stain as the competition. It was fun talking to you as well, you're a good man and a good couple. Wish I had more customers like you. See you soon."

George arrived as scheduled and very knowledgebly explained the nuances of the job involved .... use of existing poles holes in retainer wail, genuine cedar vs. knockoffs, treated lumber, need to wait on stain application for wood to completely dry, etc.  He laid it all out on paper, with no details left out.  Quote was comprehensive; not the lowest, but a fair price for high quality work.  I recieved three other estimates, but went with George based on his expansive experience and explanations.  I was not dissappointed!  His crew showed up also as scheduled and they very quickly, over the course of just a couple days, removed old fence, laid out new poles, and built beautiful new fence!  When I noticed a few particulars that needed slight refinements, George was on it and quickly had his crew back out to satisfy my perfectionism.  After a couple months to allow for complete drying, his stain applier also showed up and did a bang-up job in applying the perfect color.  All in all, great job.  My neighbors are all envious of the best fence on the street!

I left a detailed request for my requirements on their web site but I never heard back from anyone.
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"A request from you was never received, period. I went back through July emails and nothing was ever received. It is the time of the year that things slow down and all requests that come through are attended to, especially if they are Angie's List leads. Sometimes technology does not work as you know. Please do NOT jump to conclusions, your request was NEVER received. If you are still interested please contact us through Angie's List. As a matter of fact I got one last Friday that I saw yesterday. We take care of business. I would appreciate you taking down the F rating, we have no control when information is never received and I think you would understand if you were on my end. Regards, George Dorrell Owner"

George from North Dallas Fence arrived at the appointed day and time for our meeting for the estimate.  The esitmate was consistent with the pricing range he discussed on the phone when I initially contacted him, so there were no pricing surprises.  The work I required was to repair several wood fence posts that had fallen from wind damage.  Pricing was reasonable at $90 per post.  The fencing crew was professional, orderly, and efficient.  They came early on a Tuesday morning and were complete within a couple of hours without event waking my sleeping children.  Their work was excellent in that the posts were footed very deep, and they did not spoil the surrounding landscaping.  I would use North Dallas Fence again.
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Thanks, I'm glad we could help you out. Hopefully we will be able to work for you again whenever the need occurs again. Not that I'm hoping for it to blow down again, but.......! Thanks again, it was a pleasure working with you."

Spoke with George and he provided a reasonable quote over the phone. On Monday, he said someone would be out Tue May 15 in the late afternoon. I told him I would be home all day. The sun went down and no one came. I texted him to find out what the story was and he basically told me he let his guy go and for me to find a handyman to do it on my own. Very un-professional.
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"In contrast to your ugly report, I had a crew I was using and they failed to live up to their responsibility to me as a paid employee. What would you do differently? I gave him the supplies, the address, paid him IN ADVANCE, everything, and he did not do his job and he was fired. Heck, I'm out $70 on materials and labor! I cannot hold everyone's hand that works for me. If you ran a business, you make personnel decisions based on past performance,, not future, correct? He failed, he was let go immediately. This was sudden from him and as I told via one of your 10 texts, he contacted me late at night and said he didn't do the work after I thought the work was completed. Tell me what else I could have done? Yes, I did tell offer you a solution as opposed to telling you to fend for yourself. I offered a solution since my man did not live up to his obligation. Handymen are the kind of guys that are available when fence companies are 3 weeks out on jobs. You also replied to my text telling me almost immediately you had another fence company lined up to do it for you. So to me, you had it handled. Instead you have to berate my company over an $85 post replacement. Walk in another mans shoes before you criticize him! Yes, I was let down by a guy who had been busting his butt for me and doing a good job, then suddenly disappearing. This is construction, it's not white collar employees living in $350K homes giving a 14 day notice to resign. I'm sorry you think we are so terrible, but hopefully your one rotted fence post didn't cause you to get any citations from Frisco in the three days this encompassed. If so, show me the citation and I'll pay it for you."

Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Yes, we got overwhelmed. Yes, I had health issues of which I was told to not even deal with phone calls for 5 days. Yes, I accept responsibility of not contacting you consistently. Yes, the price went up AFTER I went out and physically looked at the job as opposed to estimating it over the phone. Yes, companies mess up sometimes and I messed up. This is the one and only occasion I have messed up like this, I'm sorry it had to be you. It's difficult when at the end of working 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, 50-60 phone calls a day to respond to everyone. And yes, we have proceeded on your project and I do hope you write in once it is completed to say the work we did was satisfactory. As of now, as I have communicated to you, I'm waiting on the fabrication of this custom ironwork. As I said on the phone, once it is completed I can give you an install date. I do hope you are satisfied once the job is completed."

George provided excellent service and really took the time to explain the process to me.  He removed the old fence and installed the new one in about two days.  He offered the best price of the three quotes I received and the fence looks great.  I have gotten several compliments from neighbors.

The process went great.  They removed the old fence on one day and poured the concrete for the posts.  The next day, they finished.

Due to the wet Winter we had, it was a while before they could come back to stain, but I understood that they had to get to prior clients before me. 

Clean up was good. 

The fence looks beautiful and another contractor I had over (for another project) complimented me on it, and said he could tell they did a good job.
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Thanks for the great review Member. What you said is a testament to why you wait to stain and do not go with a pre-stained fence. Patience is worth it's weight in gold. We observe every guideline the stain manufacturers state and it's for good reason. By waiting due to the weather and for proper conditions, your fence will remain looking good for twice as long as a pre-stain or if we got hasty and did it without it being totally dry. Thanks again and keep applauding that dog of yours for doing handstands and walking on it's front feet!"

George was friendly and responsive.  He gave recommendations and shared options with me.  The work was done quickly, and they cleaned up nicely afterwards.  The fence looks great.
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Thanks Member. I was a pleasure doing business with you. You guys were completely accessible and it made for an easy project. There were a few tricks to pull off the fence once we got it down, but my guys are the best and handled it. Thanks again."

When we had the most recent storms literally blow through our area, we watched a section of our fence that we share with our neighbors blow down and had concerns that the other sections would also fall that day. I found North Dallas Fence & Arbor and called to see about immediate availability. Our fence blew down on a Monday, George came out to our home for a consultation on Tuesday and fence was replaced fully by Sunday. The stain matches perfectly with what is needed for our area and matches the neighbors. It is top quality workmanship and we love the gate! Thank you George and your crew for helping us so quickly and doing GREAT work!

He did great work. His prices were reasonable for the work done. There were three guys that came in and did the within 2 1/2 days 200 ft. The big thing for me was that they cleaned up after themselves. I looked into six and seven companies, and decided to go with North Dallas because they were willing to give me references. He was very honest about the work he did and the quality of work he does. He did not sugar coat anything, he was honest and upfront about everything.

My request for an estimate was answered in a timely manner.  George provided a thorough explination of what was included in the price, how the fence and gate would be built, and the quality of materials to be used.  A day was set for the construction and they showed up on time and had the job done in one day.  The work was quite impresive. The gate that they replaced was less than two years old and was already sagging.  The new gate looks great and is very sturdy.  Don't expect to see any problems.  Weather played a part in a delay in the staining but I was not forgotten.  When the weather was right the fence was done.  The individual that did the staining was very polite and professional.  Had the job done in no time.  The stain color was selected by George to match the existing fence and he was right on.
Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Thanks Member. Glad we finally got a break and you were home to get the staining done, but patience is worth it's weight in gold regarding staining, it will last you much longer than pre-staining or jumping the gun and staining too soon after being built. It's been a pleasure working with you."

NDF was the best overall contractor I have ever used.  The project was flawless.

Response from North Dallas Fence & Arbor

"Thank you very much for the kind comments. We strive to do things right every time, and we wanted you to have a cedar fence as opposed to a spruce fence so the adjustments were made where we could to get it in your budget. And we do hope to stain your fence in a month like the stain manufacturers say to do it so that you get a long life out of the stain as opposed to other methods used in the market. It was a pleasure working with you guys."

I met with George and he measured and explained options.  His company only uses real cedar, rust-proof nails, and other quality materials.  He handles getting the permits and backs all his work.  The price was in the middle of the quotes I got but also included bumping the fence in at one section where a neighbors tree was in the way.  The work crew arrived promptly each day and worked into the evening.  The fence took about 2 and 1/2 days to do (removal to install).  Everything was cleaned up afterwards.  I am very happy with the result and would highly recommend North Dallas Fence to anyone looking for a high-quality replacement fence for a reasonable price.

They did a very nice job. I was very happy with them. I would recommend them because they did a very nice job. Everybody including our neighbors liked our fence. Some of our neighbors have even asked for a referral. So we’ve been very proud to give them their information. We’ve been proud to have them look at it. Everyone said that it looks good. We paid them to do the clothes line. They did a good job on that as well. The workers were polite. My wife did most of the dealing with them and she liked them. I think the price is fair and I’m satisfied with what I paid. I haven’t compared the prices with the others with regard to fences. I don’t know the ongoing rates. I would use their services again in the future.

From the first, George provided excellent service. He explained various options and talked me through his approach to providing high quality service. Although at first his quote was more than I thought I would have to spend, his approach and business acumen made sense, so I contracted for the services. Even though we were delayed a few days by rain, George was prompt in letting me know of the delay. Once the work started, the crew was on time and the site was kept clean, with materials delivered as described. The fencing is beautiful and it is certainly true that "you get what you pay for". All of my neighbors are very impressed and the work site was cleaned up beautifully. I would not hesitate to use this firm again.
