Recent Fence Installation Contractor Reviews in Janesville
- Simmons Fence & Specialty Products, L.L.C.The office personnel were AWSOME working through the details of my fence request. Even though the front corner fence was purchased two months later. Easy as homemade pie. They installed the back yard first while it was raining. That's dedication! A few weeks later and the front corner was finished. Wow hats off too the crew! Woot
- Clark Fence CoKevin from Clark Fence was very prompt with getting us an estimate (reasonable) and was able to start our project quickly. He and his crew were here when they said they would be and did excellent work. They were very conscientious and wanted to be sure we were happy with the work. I definitely recommend them and would use them again
- Rock County Fence & DeckWe initially contacted the company back in May to have a quote done for a fence installation at our office. We received the quote within a couple of days and signed the quote a couple days later as we were waiting for other quotes to come back. We signed and paid the contract in full 6-1-22. We were told we could expect install within the first 2 weeks of Aug. That time had come and gone. Had called several times to nail down a date of install. Any time we managed to get hold of someone in the office we just got told that a message would be passed on to the installer and would never get a returned phone call. After many attempts and phone calls we finally hear back from the installer Josh (Who is the owner of the company). Got told that we didn't sign the contract in time to meet an Aug deadline. Now we should expect install the first week of Oct. Here we are halfway through the first week of Oct and still no date set for the install. Called Josh right away in the morning and was told to call back at noon if we have not heard from him. Called right at noon and went to VM. This company is very unorganized and lacks professionalism and communication skills
- CLARK CONSTRUCTIONNot much more to say . . EXCELLENT! Arrived as promised, did nonstop, excellent work at a fair price. Jim is on my speed dial! Work is complete for now, I am hoping he can fit me in to discuss a kitchen remodel I would like to have done this winter.
- CLARK CONSTRUCTIONJim works around the cold weather, arrives as promised and get the job done. Absolutely no complaints.
- All Style Quality Fence LLCThe team was amazing. They usually do not come out this far to Watertown but they did. There was a HUGE difference between them and another fencing company that had done the other section of the yard. This team kept me in the loop. They had me come out and check to ensure that I was happy with the placement though out the tear down and install of the new fence. They arrived on time and left with my yard not exposed because I had dogs. They also finished a line and kept the yard closed when they went to lunch so I could let the dogs out. When the job was completed they cleaned up after themselves and took all the garbage with them. They were amazing and I would recommend Steve and his team to anyone that is looking to have their yard fine. The fence looks great and I am very thankful to them for coming out to Watertown and putting up a quality fence and also having a personality. Not just Steve but his whole team was personable and professional
- Cherry Valley Wood CareScott was very responsive and gave me a good price for power washing and staining. He gave me good, honest advice about what I needed. He did great work exactly when he said he would. Most of our contact was by text and I never had to wait long for a reply. Highly recommended.
- Lemke FenceWork was done in two visits. The first one consisted of removing the old posts - including the concrete they were in and setting new poles in new concrete. The second visit they installed the new fencing and the gates. In the week in-between they draped old fencing around new poles and/or stakes so I could continue to have the yard as an option for my dog
- Lemke FenceThey were professional, but a little pricey. They appear to be popular, though, since they wouldn't have gotten to our project for more than a month. We will probably consider them in the future if we need a fence.
- Rock County Fence & DeckAn outstanding company all the way around! Mindy in the office is a real professional. She arranged for the owner to visit our house and offer up an estimate for removing the 38 year old untreated deck wood from our 2nd floor deck and replacing it with treated wood. He allowed us an opportunity to stain the deck wood prior to installation. His crew, Marty and Marty arrived, within 2 months of our estimate, allowing us time to finish the wood. Pretty good considering this is the prime building season and our project was small by comparison to most. In less than a full day they completed the project. Marty is a detail oriented carpenter with 30 years experience and did a great job. His assistant cleaned the area and left everything in fine shape. They didn't even stomp down my wife's landscaping grasses located under the deck. Both were very professional and cordial. The deck looks solid and is very well constructed. Additionally, the company is very community oriented and have done work at cost for the benefit of fund raising organizations within the area and adjoining counties/communities

"All went well and in timely fashion, and turned out beautiful. We bought a cream-colored fence that is a wrought iron style and closely matches our house color and gives us the openness that we wanted with our other neighbors who don't have fences. The billing was as planned and all the work was as expected. The guys asked questions about specifics while they started the marking of the fenceline to ensure everything was exactly as we wanted. We have already recommended Simmons for any fence work. We had seen examples of their work around town to get ideas of which specific fence to order. I know quite a few people who have use them for their "new" house when they moved because of their great satisfaction in working with Simmons. (My sister and her husband and 2 different friends) Great.

"Vinyl by Voiles. That is who you should hire for your interior renovation, exterior siding or window needs. We wanted a concrete slab that had served as our patio for 20 years removed and replaced with a twice the size deck, with railing on one side, and a new patio door leading into the kitchen. Within less than a month (they fit us in to some larger projects) the diagonal slated wooden deck, (which will get stained next year) with a railing and perfect egress in and out of the kitchen, was installed. The removal of the concrete was tricky because of steel rods through the original construction. They pressed on! They also drove miles to get to us, explained everything they were doing, and tidied along the way (and did a complete clean up at the end). The patio door is still to come, but I can’t help but think that the same attention to detail will be used with its installation. One hears that home improvement professionals can be unreliable, that construction companies can be incredibly disruptive, that renovation projects can take MONTHS, and that all of it can seem prohibitively expensive. Turned out that none of that was true, that there are small businesses in the world that are there for you every step of the way, that was Vinyl by Voiles. We are still pinching ourselves over our luck in choosing them over a much larger company, having our deck in record time; in time to enjoy THIS summer, and in becoming fast buddies in a world with little time and high expectations. Thanks especially to Fil and Health (who we kept referring to as Phil and Keith, “oh, everybody does that,” they said. Still, we apologized on their last day.) Thanks, John Voile, for coming to our house, fitting us into a BUSY schedule, communicating by text, and having a great crew. Oh, yeah, and the new deck? It’s amazing. Can’t wait to see what the new (been ordered, soon to be installed) windows will look like.

Fencing FAQ
-
How much does it cost to install a fence?
Answer: The average cost to install a fence is $2,600. A variety of factors will impact the overall cost of fencing installation, such as the length of the fence, the materials you choose, and local labor costs. Fencing projects using the lowest cost materials and with lower labor costs can cost as little as $1 to $6 per linear foot, while projects using the highest cost materials and with higher labor costs may be as high as $15 to $45.
-
Do I need a permit to build a fence around a yard?
Answer: Whether you’ll need a permit to build a fence around your yard will depend on your city or county's local codes. Many metropolitan and suburban areas require a permit to install most fencing, but they may not for fences situated behind a house as opposed to in front of it or fences that don’t run within a certain distance of the road. To find out if you’ll need a permit to fence your yard, reach out directly to your local government office.
-
What is the cheapest fence to install?
Answer: The cheapest fencing to install is chain-link fencing. Chain-link fencing is typically cheaper than other fence types because the materials cost less, and installation is generally quicker and easier than other options. Chain-link fencing is affordable, easy to install, and low maintenance. However, it’s usually considered less secure than other options and doesn’t increase resale value as much as fences made of different materials.
-
Is a wood or vinyl fence cheaper?
Answer: Wood fences are generally cheaper than the cost of vinyl fences. While the cost of materials for wood and vinyl fences is usually very similar, the labor cost associated with installing a vinyl fence is higher. Wood fencing is also easier to install than vinyl fencing, making it possible to save money by making wood fence installation a DIY project. It’s also possible to DIY install a vinyl fence.
-
What is the life expectancy of a vinyl fence?
Answer: Vinyl fencing can be expected to last between 10 and 30 years. Vinyl fencing is generally low maintenance, but proper care will ensure it lasts as long as possible. Its long life span and high return on investment make vinyl fencing a popular option for many homeowners.
-
What type of fence adds to the property value?
Answer: Installing quality fencing, no matter the fence type, will generally add value to your property. In general, fences made of longer-lasting, lower-maintenance, and more attractive materials—like wrought-iron, composite, or vinyl—add more value to a property than fences made of lower-cost or less attractive materials, like chain-link. To ensure your fencing adds as much value to your home as possible, be sure it’s properly permitted, approved by your homeowners association (if you have one), and installed properly.
