I think your response proves my point. You didn't reach out to me with the gate being an after thought. It was the only thought as out of the blue you asked "bro, you ever get that gate installed." There was no reaching out. There was only inquiry into if I ever got the job done. You also state that when I first requested the job. It was during your busiest time of the year. So what is so different this year? You apologize for not getting my deposit and contract. No apology needed. I lucked out on that regard. You've asked me to forward anyone unhappy with your business? Why? You'll block them like you did me. Thanks for reaching out. read more

Affordable Fence - Text communication - Fences & Gates Near Me

Lloyd's team did a great job on the fence. He did have a bunch of people quit on him which backed up already scheduled jobs. He was honest with me and kept me updated throughout the winter with timing. It looks awesome and glad I went with vinyl to replace an old wood fence. Thanks Lloyd. read more

Been waiting since May 29th (today is August 24th) to get service on a gate that will not latch. Only response I get is "...trying to figure out when I am going to be out that way". Update: (9/9/2020), Lloyd said he would come last Saturday, he did text me saying he got tied up but that he would come Sunday. No call no show and now wont respond. read more

This fence company has taken my money in full for the payment of a vinyl fence and produced nothing in 7 months. I continue to receive texts that they are going to produce and then nothing happens. I even received a text wanting to pick up a check for payment and when confronted on it, they texted back, "Sorry wrong person" so this company is taking on more contracts (more people's money) and either doing the same or pushing my project on the back burner. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Affordable Fence. They are dishonest, unscrupulous, and thieves. You will lose your money, time and patience. Only giving them 1 star because I have to pick at least one. read more

Negative stars. Lloyd will not respond, my son in law and daughter schedule a instal date for May 18, 2019. June 18 they got feed up and asked for deposit back, he finally showed up 6/22. Worst day to show up because that was their wedding day. 2 weeks latter he still hasn't finished setting post. He will avoid call after call. We would call from different phones and he answered, we are contemplating legal action at this point. He is avoiding all calls and texts. And the job still Update. Finally finished the job 7/30. No issues with workmanship. Just poor customer service. read more

*NEGATIVE 5 STARS* Affordable Fence or Loyd DO NOT give your money to this guy ...this is the worse contractor I've ever worked with in my entire life. We paid our deposit in April/2019 and today 07/31 ( almost August) and no fence ...yes 4 months Like everyone else is saying on the others reviews there is no communication at all , it's like I have to beg him for updates and also call him from different numbers so he will answer. We had to go in a different direction and get our deposit back. I wish we had read the reviews before giving this guy our money -lesson learned I've attached some of his text (check the dates) read more

We tried to get just an estimate from this company. It took 4 tries to get the representative to come out. That was after him not returning phone calls, not responding to text messages, and not showing up for appointments!!! Once we finally did get the estimate, the diagram was drawn incorrectly. In addition to that, our next-door neighbor has been waiting for 5 months for their fence. It's half-way done and has been sitting that way for 2 months! The owner of this company is rude and unresponsive! Terrible customer service!!!! read more

WARNING! This company has an F on BBB as well as an Alert! PLEASE DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!! If I could give the company negative stars I would! We went in for a fence with our neighbors in July and he hasn't even come to the property once and it is almost February! He refuses to give a refund and will not put in our fence. Read all the reviews! They all say the same thing about Lloyd! We were not given a copy of the contract. When our neighbors showed us the contact they were given he did not subtract the amount we paid. He was charging them the whole amount!!!!!!!! Also, I noticed that he took all the negative reviews off of his Facebook and made it where people can't post to his page. Again go somewhere else! read more

They really should have negative stars. We hired this clown because our neighbor recommended him. Do your research! We paid for all material the end of September and were given a start date of 2-3 weeks. Here it is December 6th and nothing is even started. Won't give me my money back wants me to pay even more to pick up the material and do it myself. Now his license is expired. read more

I started last year on getting my vinyl fence in. Contacted Lloyd and asked him to get me on the schedule the 1st of April. I finally got him to show up in July, after all the lies that he told me That he would be there. I also had a mow strip put in and told him I wanted to do it, he didn't even line the mow strip guy up. So I finally got my fence installed in September. He installed a 12' gate and 1 week later it was so heavy in the middle that it sags. Now I have a ratchet strap holding the gate together and still waiting for this warranty repair from affordable fence. I told him in September that it needed fixed, still 7 months later, I am still waiting. I wouldn't recommend this company to anybody. read more

My review of Lloyd is essentially the same as everybody else. He is a joke. He keeps telling me some nonsense about trying to finish the "jobs that are currently set." We paid him a deposit over 3 mos ago...so if we don't count as a set job then I'm not sure what will. Like others, we have asked for our deposit back. I highly doubt Lloyd has the money. I wouldn't be surprised if he is losing employees due to him not paying them. I wonder if we could all submit formal complaints which may put his license in jeopardy. I'm not sure of the best steps to take. read more

Similar to everyone else who has worked with Lloyd, this has been a terrible experience. In addition to warning everyone here about his shady business practices i'll be filing a complaint with Consumer Protection in Utah. I'd advise everyone else to do the same if you have been waiting on Lloyd. For those who have not, do not work with this company. Lloyd is a nice guy, but he is the most unreliable service provider i've ever used (and I have comcast...). I contacted Lloyd in April and every time he set a date to come work on the next piece of the fence he bailed. The only day he actually ended up coming when he said he would was the day we were pouring cement. Our fence work is very small, by his own account "maybe a couple hours" of work yet I can't seem to get him to actually finish. He claims every time I text him or call that he has clients from before April he needs to finish work for but that's complete BS. If that truly is the case, he just doesn't do any work and just collects peoples money. I have countless texts, have had countless conversations with him and his people, emails, his bid sheet with estimate and timeframe, and still i'm waiting. I let him know I was going to post a review and contact the Division of Consumer Protection if he didn't finish the fence and he said "do what you have to do". He refuses to refund any amount of the initial payment and wont finish the job. We're at 6 months now to do a 2 hour job, ridiculous. read more

Moved into a newly constructed house and reached out to several companies for a quote on a partial vinyl fence install (lot had preinstalled fence along the back property line already). Affordable Fence posts great work on their social media and I was excited to reach out to them for a quote. No response despite several attempts. Went a different route with another company that cared to respond to inbound sales requests. For the record, I reached out to 7 different companies and, except Affordable Fence who could not be bothered, all 6 other companies responded day of the request and had quotes to me all within the 48hr window Affordable Fence promises to respond to your inquiry in. Fences are definitely Affordable when you never get them....?(Bad pun on company name). read more

Didn't have any trouble with them taking our money and setting up the product but we've had the fence less than two years and it's broken in several places. The company is no longer able to be found. No one answers the phone number. Very unhappy with quality and guarantee read more

This company is a straight up scam! Do not use this company, they stole our money and our neighbor's 6 MONTHS AGO! They still have not done anything, and they don't respond to our calls or emails. Turns out this company has done this to multiple other customers! This is fraud, straight up fraud. They have been getting away with this for years! Don't go with this company unless you want to go to small claims court like we are having to do. They should be jailed and have their business license revoked! read more

We had a terrible time getting our fence installed when it came to dates. This company didn't call me back didn't tell us install dates changed when it would be installed etc. finally got our fence installed(not totally thrilled with the work) the owner offered me a gate at a great deal and said he wanted to show me how they really do business....it's been 4 weeks of I'm going to be out there, no returned calls texts. They have came out 2 plus times to measure. I'm glad I didn't pay them a deposit because this is also a joke. Some way to show a client how you run a business. Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. Communication will be the fall of this business. read more

Serious regrets in giving this company our money. My friend warned me about their communication and customer service issues but he said their workmanship was worth it in the end (they also gave him a discount and apologized for their lack of service). No workmanship could be worth it. Look at the stream of bad reviews they are receiving here (don't forget to look at the hidden reviews that Yelp doesn't automatically display) and also on BBB. They also took down their FB page because of it. I asked very kindly for a deposit refund since they are past the date they said they would install our fence. They wrote me off and told me I could cancel for a $1400 fee. I'm so surprised anyone could ever stay in business with so terrible communication and customer service. DO NOT WORK WITH THEM! YOU WILL REGRET IT! read more

After Lloyd showed up today, just 2 days late. I recognized I jumped to conclusions based on the bad reviews on here. He is an honest to goodness good guy who takes pride in his work. He went so far above and beyond the call of duty today! I have recommended him to 2 neighbors and both are going to hire him. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. HORRIBLE communication. Our original scheduled install date was early May. No none showed up. Finally started a week later. Long story short.... they never show up when they say they will. The owner (Lloyd) won't get back to you with an apology or reason. Absolute joke of a company. They are the most affordable fencing company because their customer service sucks. BAD! Spend a little more on a better company. Trust me it's worth it. It's October and our fence still isn't 100% complete. read more

I had a very small job with only two sections as a privacy wall. This company came out and totally messed the install up. They kept promising to come and fix the bad work and told me what a customer focused company they are. They never showed up and the installation is very poor. Do not believe anything Lloyd tells you. He does not tell the truth. read more

ZERO stars. I wish we would have read these reviews before booking him. Paid him thousands up front and were told by the end of October we would have our fence. It's been 2 1/2 months with NOTHING. Nothing is even started. Nothing is scheduled. Terrible communication. Huge mistake. read more

We can't give zero stars....This guy has absolutely no clue about customer service. Our simple 100 ft project was 10 months past the original install date. 13 commitments to come finish, no show each time. No call, message, nothing. Dozens of texts sent with no response. No apologies, no discount offered, just excuses every time. Tried to cancel our project early on, said we'd be charged a 20% restocking fee. There was nothing to restock!!! Pathetic. Oh, when he did finally finish (10 months later) he threatened to send our account to collections after 10 days. Stay far away. read more

Update: The owner got back to me after a couple reviews were posted and said he had been out sick. That shouldn't be an excuse to have your communication fall apart but alas, he did get in touch with me. We were able to schedule an install date and when that date came, I was contacted when they were on their way and they arrived on time. The work was completely quickly and done very well. We're very satisfied with the outcome. Do note that they charge 2% for using a card to pay. Not a common thing now days but you still run into it from time to time. Something to keep in mind. I called to get an estimate to repair a small section of chain link fence. They answered the call right away, asked that I text him my contact info, and was decent at communicating when they would come out. Received a quote within 24 hours, which I think is good. However, once I wanted the work to be completed it took 24 hours to get a response on availability and the response was "I don't know. I do the schedule." I asked who does so I can contact them and was informed that my information was passed along and someone would be in contact with me soon. Since then, 48 hours has passed without communication of any kind. Since I did not hire them (not my choice, they would not respond to my request to hire them), I cannot make a claim on their quality of work. Considering their level of communication and scheduling I have reason to be concerned if they're even show up and what kind of work they'll do. Granted, my project is small (less than $500) but if you don't want the work at least have the respect to say so instead of just ghosting someone. read more

Lloyd and his crew were great to work with. They quality is awesome. There was 1 question about the gate, and they came back the next day and fixed it, no questions asked! read more

6 MONTHS AND STILL WAITING...NO FENCE! A guy name Lloyd keeps telling me that they are going to come and they never do. I hope my money is not lost. I could never recommend such lack of integrity. I've been holding off to give them a bad review, hoping they will show up. NO JOY! read more

When looking for affordable fencing don't be fooled by the company name. Lloyd the owner of this shitty business does not care one bit about his customers. We call Lloyd about 15 times a month trying to get a hold of him. Every time we use a different number he plays dumb and tells us he'll have someone out here to install the fence. Five months later no fence no anything. Every time we tell him to give us our money back he promises by saying "my guy will be out there next week, we fell a couple weeks behind schedule due to the weather". If you want to get a fence for a good price don't let Lloyd be the guy to do it. read more

Terrible communication. My posts were set July 18th. It has been almost 3 months Lloyd has been telling me he's going to build the fence. Seems like he put my posts in to solidify the job in this competitive market and went on to other things. Very dishonest and unethical. He argued with me that he always has returned calls and texts, that's all you need to know. I gave proof, it's on a cell phone. Terrible business owner, lack of organization and care for his own reputation or customers. Pay a few $ more a foot and use a reputable company. read more

I wish negative stars was an option. Affordable Fence came through our new neighborhood last year handing out biz cards. My neighbor gave me the card and I called. Affordable Fence came by and gave us a quote. The quote was to my liking and so we inquired to the next step. We were told that we needed to pay half the money as a deposit, sign a contract, and that would get us on the schedule. This was done on April 29th, 2019. I inquired a few days later to find out when they would be coming by and was told July 18th. WTF!! Almost 3 months? I went with it and committed. They showed up on July 23rd, put some of the posts in and then left. We inquired and were told that Blue Stakes had to come by. Another week went by and we inquired again. Lloyd asked us if Blue Stakes had come by.....my thought was "isn't he supposed to know"? They had not and then all of sudden the next day they showed up. About 2 weeks later Affordable fence showed up out of the blue and finished the posts along the back side. It is now Sept 5th and the fence is still not done. We were told by Lloyd that the fence would be finished on Aug 28th and then again, a guarantee this time, that it would be done by Sept 4th. When Affordable Fence did not show up and finish by Sept 4th, as was the guarantee, which is almost 4.5 months after signing the contract, they were fired as our fence installers. The response we got at 6:45 pm from Lloyd after we notified him of our decision was "I just had my installer turn around and go home as he was heading to your home". Wait a minute! Who sends their installer out at 7 pm knowing that it gets dark by 8-8:15? That's a believable statement from a guy that has consistently lied. We have decided to move forward with another installer that by coincidence has installed 2 fences in our neighborhood in about 2 weeks time. Be careful with this business. They like the money upfront, sign the contract, but then don't keep their end of the agreement. The excuses that we received consistently were "others have been waiting longer than you" or "I've been out town". That statement tells the entire story. Lloyd and Affordable Fence are either completely overwhelmed or they are completely incompetent. read more

The worst company I have ever worked with. We put down a deposit may 2019, they were to begin our fence first week in August 2019. A couple weeks go by, and there are excuses as to why it hasn't been started. We are understanding. more weeks go by. More excuses. Weeks turn into months. January 2020 we finally get posts. For some reason they did all the posts but 1?! Beginning of April 2020, 4 guys come out... to set 1 post... It has been a couple weeks since then, still just posts in our yard for months. We don't expect the fence to be finished for probably a couple more months. We have to text/call every single day, bugging him, just to get an update. We figure, if we are annoying enough, he will want to come do the job to get rid of us. It baffles me because this is a job that only takes a few days. There are a bunch of houses near us that were all getting fences from him, and only one is finished. The rest have all been waiting almost a year as well. And what makes me even more upset is that there is a review on here that paid deposit 4 months after us, and his fence is done! Is that to just try and get a good review? We are working with the law at this point. read more

THE WORST CONTRACTOR EVER.. you get what you paid for, it's really AFFORDABLE price wise BUT it's never affordable to deal, communicate, negotiate, talk or chat with. From day one we knew that we're going to have issues with this Lloyd guy, but like I said it was the cheapest bid we received and we were already spending a lot of money on our new built house SO at that time we had to hire him. 1: No predicted starting date, it would be bla/bla/bla and they'll start 4 months after if YOU argue with them 24/7 on that.2: Your stuff will be broken, no matter what you do as a precaution or make them aware of your sprinkle lines THEY WILL BREAK THEM. They say it's their responsibility to fix them AFTER they're done, well that's another couple of months for you to wait wait wait for Lloyd to respond to your text and vm.3: boards and bars are not usually even, so try to be home at that time they're installing to watch out coz once they leave you'll never see them again.4: your fence gate is a struggle too, we had ours installed MONTH AND HALF later so, keep your valuables in your garage and don't put them in your yard. 5:you'll never see an invoice or a paper bill, he'll send you a text saying "I,...., took $xxxx from.... as deposit (he'll send someone you've never met before to pick up the money) THEN you're final payment will be picked up couple of weeks after work is done. Then your receipt will be TEXT to you couple of days after your final payment is made full to him. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. read more

It took him months to finish the install of my fence when I was told a couple of weeks I had to battle him the whole way there was damage to my property that he ended up never fixing the gates never worked and still down he has promised me for almost a year to return and never dead I originally only gave him the half down and wasn't going to pay him and he told me how unfair that was so I eventually paid him the other half and he gave me A promise that he was a man of his word and he would fix all of the issues a year later my gate still do not work after multiple appointments trying to sit with him he still has never shown up doesn't return phone calls and pretty much just leaves it up to me I'll be paying somebody else to fix the fence properly make the gates work fix all the damage that he caused and ultimately I will have to take him to court or just be out the money I spent the price was good but you get what you pay for he has untrustworthy and will tell youAnything to get the work but it will take a really long time be very poor work and he will not return to fix it correctly read more
