I contacted him for a quote in February. We were to meet early one weekday evening -- when he didn't arrive, I called his cell and he explained/apologized he was preparing tax paperwork for his employees. We set another appointment for Sat., 2/14. He arrived promptly 2/14, measured the existing fence, showed us his photo album, and discussed options. I mentioned we had found him through Angie's List. We made some basic choices and he quoted $5,994. Over the next month, I solicited quotes from 2 other firms. Along the way, Angel and I exchanged e-mail. I asked him to re-quote with one of the gates wider than the existing one, and if his crew could remove a basketball post set in concrete, too (i.e., as long they were already removing steel posts set in concrete). He always responded quickly, agreed to both, and did not change his original quote! When I asked about the Angie's List discount, he said it was already factored into the quote. Of the 3 quotes I solicited and received, his was the middle (though much closer to the lowest than the highest). Though the lowest bidder could start sooner, I chose Cisco because of his Angie's List reputation and because fencing is not a second job. I signed with him in mid-March; he said work would begin on/by 4/16. A few days before the appointed date, I saw flags & paint marks in my lawn from the various utilities. As promised, his crew arrived Thu., 4/16, removed most of the existing fence & posts, and began setting new poles. They were friendly and professional. Their English is better than my Spanish, but they patiently let me practice on them :-). Fri., 4/17 was too rainy, but the (pre-treated, fortunately!) lumber arrived. Over the next 3 days, they had completed a beautiful new fence with 3 gates (including the "extra wide" one). In addition to hauling off the old fence, they cleaned up *most* their scraps and such. However, there were a few bits'n'pieces left behind - a few concrete "plugs" from the old fence, a few concrete "mixing spots," some trimmed off wood bits, etc. Some of the scraps were left in "good faith" -- after the workers had left for the evening, a neighbor told me he had asked them to leave some of the scraps because he wanted some of them, and volunteered to dispose of the rest. So my neighbor left some of scraps & the concrete bits, but not all. Sadly, they didn't finish the basketball pole removal. It looks like they split the concrete and pulled half of it, but were unable(?) to pull the rest of the concrete and free the pole. I sent an e-mail to Angel asking about disposal of the concrete and if he had any further thoughts about basketball pole. It has gone unanswered for about a month now.

I called Cisco Fencing to schedule a free estimate consultation. When I called on Thursday, we set up a time for 12:00pm on the following Tuesday. 12:00 on Tuesday rolls around and no Cisco. I call around 12:45 and he argued with me that we had said 2:00. Luckily, he was able to come out within the hour although this was a huge inconvenience to me being a new mom of a 4-month old with a nursing/nap schedule. When he showed up, I felt very rushed. His measurements were quick and inaccurate- his numbers were 40-50' ft different than the other companies I had met with. He seemed displeased with what my husband and I wanted. Our HOA is pretty specific and we had already decided every detail of what we needed/wanted. Cisco said it was "impossible" to slope our wrought iron fence with the natural slope of the ground (even though our neighbors had a naturally sloped fence!). We have a dog and didn't want to do the step off look due to unwanted space underneath. He said it would be way too expensive. Worst of all- he never even called us back or emailed us our estimate. I could tell he didn't want to mess with wrought iron or work with what my husband and I had desired. Also, we asked about their senior discount (which they advertise on Angies List) and he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. Not impressed at all!

The quality of work was awesome. The fence included Trim, baseboard and pre-treated (i.e. pre-stained), 6ft tall Cedar (wide boards) with steel posts (buried 3ft deep). The fence covered a perimeter of 187ft. They completed the work in 21/2 days. They also gave me a 10 year warranty. All other quotes, from other companies, were quite high and did not cover all of the stuff mentioned above. The second best was $6500.00. Saying Angies List helped a lot. They badly want a positive presence on Angies list and will give you a good deal if you mention Angies list.

Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome of the project. The fence is pretty awesome and I feel like Angel and his crew were intent on making me happy. I didn't feel like it was all about the money. Owning a company myself, I pay close attention to detail like pride in your work, quality, and excellent customer service. Ciscos Fences reflects that.

I called Angel and he showed up for the estimate at our agreed upon time. I was not stood up, so right away he received extra points! He walked me through everything he would provide and showed photos of his work. I was impressed right from the start. I had three other contractors coming out so I advised Angel I would get back to him. Angel's pricing was right in the middle of all my estimates. However, what he provided and his expert quality set him apart. You could tell from talking with him and his photos, that he is in a different league. He was also the only one that accurately informed me that you DO need a permit in Dallas when constructing an 8' tall fence. We agreed on a 3 week start date. They showed up and started on that day without me having to call and ask if they remembered. From start to finish it was 4.5 days ( they allowed time for the posts to set up). They did an outstanding job! They are very detailed and it shows in their work. We have a large yard and this was only the first stage. I will definitely use Cisco for the rest of my fencing needs!

Angel did way more than meet my expectations! He exceeded them and at a price far better than anyone else!

Impressed with experience and wide range of styles and materials.

Upon meeting Francisco Lopez of Cisco Fences, I explained that I wanted a fence that was sturdier and nicer than a builder fence, but not too expensive. I wanted a cedar fence with steel posts. Most companies were interested in building me the fence that they wanted to build, not the fence that I wanted. Cisco Fence was different and understood the concept of a budget for the fence. Furthermore, Francisco was very motivated to do business with me and suggested some things that would make the fence look more appealing and customized it without adding to the cost. He gave me an excellent price and the most beautiful fence ever. I daresay it looks as nice as many of the much more expensive fences in my neighborhood. His crew came out and put the posts in 3 feet deep as promised on the start date. They took down the old fence and an old trumpet vine and hauled the old fence away. They left my yard very neat and clean. The workers were very polite and clean and worked efficiently. They came back with stained cedar and proceeded to construct the fence which they finished that day. This company employs highly skilled professionals who do beautiful work above and beyond a basic fence. I am highly recommending Cisco Fence Company to my neighbors and friends and would suggest that you consider their bid.

My old fence got uprooted during a wind storm and I started looking for various vendors. I contacted about 7 of them, some through Angie's list and got the cost and options from them. Then I noticed a beautiful new fence in my neighborhood. I talked to the owner about his experience and then contacted Angel (contractor). He visited my home, measured my yard and discussed with me the various options. His price was the second lowest and since I had already seen his work, I decided to go with him. He started the fence following week and finished it in 3 and a half days. His guys were very professional and created a nice fence. Very happy with his work and the overall experience.
