With the advice of my salesman, Devin, I avoided some mistakes I didn't understand, and got an absolutely gorgeous fence. My neighbors tell me how nice it looks when they walk by.

Everything went extremely well and we're very happy with the new fence. They did the entire job in 3 days, they worked very fast, were careful about landscaping and irrigation in the yard. They showed up every morning of the job promptly and worked all day. Very efficient.

They destroyed the drainage in my yard and the neighbor's yard by pouring concrete everywhere. My husband had to dig everything out while the concrete was still wet, because it was flooding our lawn, while the workers stood around and watched. They repeatedly claimed they had no part in it and that it didn't happen, all while saying that we had demanded they come in the rain. Actually, I asked one of the workers if they should wait until better weather and they said no. The manager when asked told my husband "we live in Washington, we wouldn't have a job if we didn't fence during rain." The fence itself is fine, straight, seems sturdy, and is as described but the overall experience was poor. I wanted to go with a different company initially after getting some estimates but my husband had them recommended by the Ace store and wanted to use them. I would not use them again, nor would I recommend them to anyone else.

I am not all that happy. They need to come out and fix it, and they will not come out to fix it. I am not happy. The boards did not get nailed properly. The gate installed to get our RV in the backyard, was not installed properly. The installer came out three weeks later, and he didn't get there when I was there, and he messed it up even more, and since then, he hasn't come back to fix it.

In reading the review from "DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY" I would like to set the record straight... since I am the neighbor who hired Economy Fence to install fencing between us and the neighbor who wrote "do not use".
There is a process that is followed when determining where to install a fence. It entails marking utilities by painting lines on the ground and also showing where it might be appropriate to install a fence between 2 properties. We reviewed the lines the day following the marking process (no need to trek out in the dark with flashlights). We did not think the lines drawn were the best location and notified both the neighbors and the company. By then, the neighbors had already called Economy Fence and threatened to sue them.
We renegotiated the line location (NBD) with the neighbor present and the company representative present and ALL agreed on the new placement. The neighbors also added a section of fence for themselves on their own property. At no time was access to their property ever to be blocked to their yard. We also agreed to remove a section of fence that came too close to their house. They were completely rude and threatening to Economy Fence before and after any mutual agreement to proceed was made and fencing took place.
Threatening a law suit is a very aggressive posture for a preliminary drawing of lines! The only bill they paid was for their own small section of fence on their own property. They refused to pay for their half of the fence which they agreed to (talk about ethical behavior), that is why the company continued to ask for payment.
The fence looks great and there was no trash left or trees cut. No trees were involved. My hat is off to Gary, the rep, for having to deal with these people who have so wrongly slandered Economy Fence. In what universe do neighbors behave like this?
I would definitely recommend Economy Fence to anyone or use them again in the future.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!
Our neighbor hired Economy Fence Center to install fencing in their yard.
Economy Fence Center disregarded the property lines and utilities markings and painted a line to install the fence.
Our neighbor did NOT approve the proposed fence line.
We did NOT approve the proposed fencing as it was over the property line and nearly right against our house. The proposed location would have blocked access to our backyard.
When I used the word encroachment with Economy Fence Center they acted as if they had never heard this term or understood the meaning. They attempted to tell me that I had given approval to my neighbor to move the property line and install the fence on our property and block our access to our backyard.
In what universe would a homeowner decrease their lot size AND block access to their own backyard?!
I used the term lawsuit to Economy Fence Center and the conversation took a turn to listening versus just yelling at me insisting that I didn?t know where the property line (clearly marked by the surveyor) was located.
Ethical Behavior: Economy Fence Center provided no notice of the fence being installed or when they would map out the fence line. When we were notified we had to go out with flashlights to view their markings. In the dark, we determined they were FEET across the property line and that the angle was NOT according to the property line at all. I immediately sent an email stating that this was NOT approved work and they needed to stop all work.
Price: Prior to this illegal fencing attempt we have had two fences built (Kirkland & Redmond locations). Economy Fence Center charged too much, left trash, cut trees & piles of dirt in our yard and never apologized for their error of the attempted fence line OR their error in judgement thinking that they would slide this illegal encroachment by us.
Billing: We have paid our bill in full, but they keep demanding additional payment. I've sent them copies of receipts, etc., but they insist we have not paid in full. This is a SCAM.

Response from Economy Fence Center
"Economy Fence Center had a contract to build a fence for the {member's name removed} neighbor. After the utilities where located for the project a water line was discovered running down the property line between our customer and the {member's name removed}. Our foreman put white paint on one side of the water line so the two property owners could see where the fence might go and decide if it needed to be changed before we built the fence. There was a meeting onsite with both property owners and our Salesman Gary. It was mutually decided to move the fence line to the other side of the water line (Our customer's side). During the meeting {member's name removed} asked if we could build a fence for him at the same time. He was given a price of $890. He agreed to the price and signed a contract. When the project was finished the {member's name removed} paid their invoice by credit card and we have considered them to be paid in full since. We have had no contact with them regarding additional payment. At no time was anyone yelled at or demanded payment of. We welcome any further conversations the {Member's name removed} would like to have. 425-347-1355"

Our experience with Economy Fence was flawless. The Economy Fence team carefully prepared a phased plan for our fencing project as we were on a tight budget. We chose to do the fence removal ourselves to save money. The Economy Fence team was friendly, punctual, thorough, and easy to work with. They far exceeded our expectations. This past weekend there were severe windstorms that took down trees in our neighborhood and resulted in an all-day power outage. Our new cedar fence did not even flinch, and I mean it. Impressive! The gates and craftsmanship is top notch and understandably when you consider the years of experience and love for their craft. I personally enjoyed speaking to the staff as they were former and active baseball players. Super cool crew! We will look forward to phase II next summer. Thank you Economy Fence for a job well done!!!

Fantastic again! This is the second fence project I've had them do and they've been great both times; very professional, punctual, and their crews do fantastic work; the quality is great and I love the fact that you can now have them install the fence pre-stained because lets face it otherwise it will never get stained and it would turn into one of those brownish grey fences like everyone else has:) So overall I am completely satisfied and pleased with the end result; Tim and his helper were great to work with on this project;

It went awful. Workers that provided quote seemed to understand project BUT the actual workers were clueless about building a nice horizontal fence. Top boards were ripped uneven and one board that was ripped had a huge knot and collapsed two days after job was completed. Two days. Awful. Quality of wood was awful. Person giving estimate did not offer differing qualities of wood although given the obvious purpose of this fence, alternatives would have been nice. Clueless. When we called to complain, they were initially responsive but seemed ridiculously puzzled about how to fix. Timeline was tight because we were hosting a wedding and I had zero confidence that they could fix fence so I fixed it. I do not suspect these guys will be able to stay in business. Quality of wood was below average. Quality of work was way way way below average.
Response from Economy Fence Center
"Our Installation Coordinator, Aaron, contacted this customer when the job was complete and was then informed that they had some issues with the fence. Aaron made arrangements to stop by on his way home from work and met with them (since they couldn't meet during the day). Aaron listened to their issues, took pictures and told them he'd go over it with our Operations Manager Dwayne and get back to them with some options to address their concerns about the top boards of their horizontal fence. He emailed them some options on how we could address their concerns. After a few days of not hearing from them, Aaron reached out again to find out if they had decided what they wanted to do and they told him they had fixed the issue themselves. At this point we thought everything was resolved, until months later when they refused to pay for their fence. They even stated that if we sent them a statement that their account was paid in full they would remove their negative reports about us on Angie's List and Yelp......your basic "Social Media Extortion" and trying to get a free fence. When ever a customer has an issue with how their finished fence looks we always go back out and address the issue. If we didn't stand behind our work that way we wouldn't still be in business after 30 years. We offered to send a crew back out to address their concerns, but they were more interested in getting a free fence. Sincerely, Chad Morgan Vice President Economy Fence Center"
