"I would not recommend first fence - billed me in error for 20 extra feet of vinyl fencing - apparently this extra fenced billed in error ( hopefully not fraud ) is less expensive than the estimated cost provided . Buyer beware ."

"We absolutely love our fence. Was installed last November within the matter of just a day. Staff were friendly. Had some minor issues but were resolved very quickly. At some points it seemed slightly unorganized but as long as you talk to the same person everything is resolved very efficiently. Price was definitely worth the quality of the fence."

"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 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

"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

"My husband & I hired First Fence to install a vinyl fence. The project took longer than expected because of manufacturers delays, but First Fence did rectify the problem. Family, friends & neighbors love our vinyl fence. So far we're satisfied with the installation of the fence and hopefully our vinyl fence will last for decades to come."

"After having multiple fencing companies provide quotes for a backyard fence, and tell me the work would have to wait 16 weeks (!!), I am thrilled to have found First Fence. Jesse in sales was incredibly responsive and helpful in determining the needs for my backyard fence (cedar scalloped wood), and also helped me through the permitting process with my town'..."

"I am sure the installation and quality are great. However, the communication from the sales manager was terrible.

He lacked project management experience, professional insight and the guts to simply inform his clients...." Read more

After our install, we had an issue that First Fence immediately rectified. Fast forward a couple years. Jon is no longer with the company. We got assigned to Eric Anderson, who in the beginning..."

A person from First Fence came to do the estimate, didn't leave any contact information and never gave us an actual estimate in person or via email. I called the company to ask for the estimate with no response. Horrible customer service, apparently the fence industry is so good they don't need more bus..." Read more

"Stay away!!!! All of the post have popped out of the ground probably because they didn't dig deep enough. And the fence panels are all discolored. And the work was only done not even 5 years ago. And it came with a life time warranty. I've been calling them to come fix the the problems but they keep say they can't come out because of covid. They just don't w..." Read more

I worked with James in sales a..." Read more

"Had First Fence take down an old fence and put up a new one several years ago. It looked fine, but this year my handyman was staining it and noticed it was wobbly. After some investigation, several of the posts weren't sunk in concrete they're just in the ground, so they're rotting and making the fence unstable. Not cool."

"Once we decided to use first fence it took forever to get them out fir the quote for the black aluminum gate. The price was right so we went with them. I've regretted it since. Yes the installation was good. We've had issues with the paint peeling, the aluminum on the inside where the gates meet. The paint idea bubbling. It looks bad. Brackets keep co..." Read more
