Great! They were prompt, willing to do a small job, did it really, really well and moved our gate so the hinges were on the right instead of the left (which goes better with the slope of the ground).

From the moment I contacted Expert Fence to also helping with a couple things after installation, Expert Fence has been fantastic to work with. Everyone is super friendly and helpful and really want to provide you with a beautiful product. During the installation, the team who was installing was very friendly and did such quality work. We can't thank them enough for their communication, promptness, and the follow-up that has been extended to us after the installation was complete.

Sammy and Carlos built my Cedar Fence. They are the best. Sammy took his took his time to show me different options for setting up my fence. He demonstrated with a string and board how it will look if I "followed the grade" or installed it "stepped and level". Sammy also show me the different designs for the gate - straight vs. curved top, hinges on inside/outside, hinges on left or right side etc. Very helpful.

The initial installation went very well, and the fence worked just fine. After a year, however, the wood on the gates started coming apart. Now, it is not usable, and they will not fix it without additional service charges. Their response is that it is normal and uncontrolable for wood to warp. Well, of, buy if it breaks the fence after a year, shouldn't they come a fix it? A heads up on that in advance would have been useful. Again, at the time of service, I would have rated them high. However, at present, I have an expensive and nice looking fence, but if the fence's job is to keep in the dogs, and to be able to open without falling apart, it is just not working. It seems reasonable to ask them to repair it without a service fee; we already paid for the fence.

No written proposal was provided and this became a problem because the service provided was different from and less extensive than the service discussed. The person doing the work was different than discussed. The actual cost of the materials (noted on the final invoice) was much lower than the amount the bid was based on, but no adjustment to the amount billed was made. I paid the invoice under protest.
Response from Expert Fence
"The member contacted us with an urgent request for a pet containment issue. We responded quickly. Our hope was that we could perform the work requested the same day of our appointment. We gave the member a verbal quoted price of $600-$650 which was acceptable to the member, and collected a 1/3 deposit. Our foreman scheduled and completed the requested work as soon as possible per the member's request. We never claimed the person quoting the work and performing the work would be the same person. The work was performed and invoiced within the verbally quoted price. This was all done on a good faith verbal agreement with the member from a 30 year employee, which is not an uncommon practice with us as the member is a valued previous customer and timing seemed to be of the essence as evidenced by the fact that the deposit was given at the time of the initial meeting. We have no record or were given any indication of paying the invoice under protest. The member called after receiving our invoice and requested it be reduced due to the material amount listed on the invoice being less than expected. We refunded part of the invoice back to the member, that amount was not disputed at the time. We have never in 30 years needed a 3rd party to resolve a dispute and see no reason to start. Our reputation speaks for itself thru the many positive ratings and other forms of feedback we get from our customers. We would be happy to resolve this directly with the customer."

Our neighbors installed a six foot cedar fence on one side of the yard so we decided to finish and do the other side. I got three estimates. All were fairly close in price but Expert Fence came up with the most competitive quote. Kris came over, measured the area and we talked about the fence options. I spoke with him a few times after with questions and modifications, usually I would leave a message on his phone and he would get back to me pretty quickly. Once we picked the quote it was just waiting for their schedule to be open with decent weather and install the fence. I got a call from Kris that they were ready to install the fence the next day, it was a bit short notice but no matter. It looked like we would have maybe a day and a half of dry/semi-dry weather before a week of rain. I was concerned that we would be a week without a fence at all since they were also removing the existing chain link. We have dogs as well as neighbors on both sides and it could be a problem. They were able to get some work done the first day before rain started. Pressed for time they sent a bigger crew the second day to make sure they would finish. Everyone involved was professional and personable. The fence looks great. Really well constructed and straight. Looks better than the one the neighbor had installed. All in all you couldn't ask for better. Very satisfied. Great company!

From start to finish - A+. Kris was very responsive with quote and came back a second time when we decided to add the back fence into project. Rebex and his crew were very professional on the install - high quality and efficient work. They paid attention to the details, cleaned up all debris and were very pleasant - even with 90 degree temps. We love our fence and are very satisfied - I highly recommend Expert Fence.

Initial consultation was more informative than most companies, and the best quote we received. Workers arrived on time, and put in the fence by the driveway, including some work-arounds because of the particulars of the job. Unfortunately the supplier provided Expert Fence the incorrect length for the railing, which resulted in a delay to finish the job, but was outside of Expert's control. Expert did fix the problem with the supplier and installed the railing and gate at a later date, but there was a small communication deficiency that I did not know if or when the railing would be installed after the initial glitch. However, Expert Fence was working behind the scenes to rectify the situation, and I very much appreciate it. Other small gripe would be a more full explanation of the accessories, such as railing base covers or types of gate latches. Nonetheless, overall great service, and would recommend to anyone.

Prompt response to initial inquiry, price seemed fair for what we wanted; a 7 foot tall x 200 foot long privacy fence (maximum height Arlington County allows). After a few weeks and one weather delay the work done in under 3 days and we love the results! Very solid construction: all gates (we had 3) swing on sturdy 6x6's and they provided nice heavy-duty hardware... the doors close better than some inside my house! Included in the price was removal of the old fence and the permit. Crew that did the work was friendly and cleaned the job site well. I would recommend Expert Fence highly!

I thought they were quick in the installation process; that is what I liked. I found their business practices to be suspect and I found that their management was pretty substandard.

At first it was a good experience working with Expert Fence. The quality of fencing material was high and the options were plentiful. Then the install day arrived. I was told by the salesperson that the gate was damaged in transit. I overheard the installers talking and heard the wrong size gate was ordered. Very different story. They installed the fence and gate on the one side and the stair rail. Because it was so cold I asked them to paint the railing once it warmed up. They put on a first coat and said they would do a second when it was warmer. Then we waited and waited for the correct gate to arrive. When it arrived the installer, Jose, messed up the installation. I got major resistance over the mistake from the office people, but when a worker, Samuel, came to fix the problem (after waiting more time for a new post to come in) he agreed completely with me and apologized for the poor workmanship of the previous installer. It also took 3 visits for the workers to be given the correct paint to paint the stairrail. I asked repeatedly if we would receive a small discount due to all of the installation problems and they refused. Overall, very poor management in the office and only one good worker.
