"Made an appointment for a fence quote met with the owners son I guess and was very rude. He made it seem like his company was better then others and refused to offer a quote because I asked for a reasonable price. He showed up without calling and pulled into my driveway like he owned the place. Check the other reviews here and you'll see I wouldn't bother wi..." Read more

"First Fence has put in two fences for us. Both of them are extremely well made and very attractive. Both of them were installed in less than a day. When we found a discolored board in one of the fences, they came out within days and replaced it for us quickly. I was very impressed with their attention to customer service and ensuring that we were fully sati..." Read more

"First I have to say their fence is excellent. The managing team is the weak link to the process. They told me it would take 8 to 10 week to install the fence which I agreed. On the 10th week no one called so I called. They told me it had change to 10 to 12 weeks. I told them I might be out of town in that time period. They told me that wouldn't be a problem..." Read more

"I called First Fence expecting I might need a new fence. Chris was very honest and said the fence was in good shape and he'd just replace the posts that were coming loose. The crew that came out was on-time (even early) and fixed the posts without issue. They tightened up a few other boards and replaced one that was chipped, even though it wasn't on the o..." Read more

"Use this family company for your fence! This fence company has been in business for a long time for a reason. Joanne and Dianne in the front office were easy to talk to and quick to respond. Chris came out for the estimate. He was very knowledgeable and gave an honest and fair quote with great suggestions on how to make our fence look great. We had some funk..." Read more

"This company totally ghosted us. They came out to our house to do an estimate and then never gave us the estimate. I emailed them twice afterwards and my husband contacted them too and they just never responded. I do not recommend."

"AVOID - We had a new fence installed in September 2021 for our new home. In December part of the fence collapsed overnight apparently due to wind. We spoke to an incredibly rude woman the next day who told us they were too busy with new installs to come repair ours. Thankfully our builder was able to pull some strings and made them come repair the fence othe..." Read more

"STAY AWAY FROM FIRST FENCE! We signed the contract and gave a deposit on April 2nd, 2022. We understood the supply chain delays, and accepted that it could be the end of May before we saw our fence. We were called in early June and given June 19th as our date. 7am, 8am go by, and no one calls, and no one shows up, finally around 9:30 we get a call saying the..." Read more

"I would not recommend First Fence. I understand that there are supply chain issues causing delays across all industries but First Fence has lied to me to make a sale and they have not communicated delays or managed expectations whatsoever. I wish I had signed a contract with Freeman Fence instead. We signed a contract with First Fence in March to install an..." Read more

"The work was done wonderfully. Amazingly fast at demoing old fence and quick to put up the new one. Only 2 days from start to finish. The quality of workmanship was fantastic. Scheduling was more of a challenge than what I had hoped for. Also, workers could have cleaned up all of the stray materials from the yard and hosed down the sidewalk to remove all..." Read more
