I have read some of the "not so happy" reviews here, noting the time and place, and have decided they can't be talking about the company we just completed our little residential project with. Badger Fence was Awesome! Mike was able to drop by for an estimate within a few days of my calling to make an appointment. Everyone else couldn't make it for at least a week, or more. Since Mike was here first, all the rest were compared to him. Quite frankly, none came close, and I'm not just talking about numbers. Mike's title is "Project Sales Manager", but if I didn't know better I'd swear he owned the company. His knowledge, and enthusiasm, was incredibly impressive. He actually Listened to us as we gave him the tour of what we had in mind. He offered suggestions we hadn't thought of, and even talked us out of a few things that weren't such great ideas, fully explaining why. He showed us various options without any 'push', or sales pressure, just the facts, and his honest opinions. He wrote out an estimate right then and there, not having to get back to us days later. Naturally, we had some additional residual questions which I emailed to Mike. He was back with answers almost before I'd finished typing and hit "Send". For us, it was a "no brainer" to sign the contract with Badger, and move full steam ahead. Our project involved crossing our neighbor's property line, so we had to get permission from the owner, who doesn't live there. It took us a little while to get in touch with her, and she had some concerns we hadn't considered. Checked back with Mike, and got the same quick responses after the sale had already been made, and our down payment submitted. That impressed us even more. Our project was small, but complicated. It involved replacing a section of ground swollen chain link for an existing gate, installing two new gates from, plus one through, already standing chain link, and putting up new decorative fencing connecting our house to the neighbor's. As with most projects, we ran into a few unexpected snags, but Mike and the crew were on top of things immediately. We were like, "Wow!" Yeah, Mike had made it a point to be here with "the guys" for the start of install, to make sure everything was laid out right. New posts were sunk, and measurements taken, to custom build the new gates that would be put up after the posts had set. The crew came by the following week to wrap it all up. About an hour after they had completed everything, Mike called to make sure everything was as we wanted and expected it to be. "The guys" had sent him pictures. He also said we shouldn't hesitate to get back in touch if there was ever anything else at all. I've worked in several unrelated fields. There was a customer service component to every position that I held, on the front lines, and in management. I was proud that I was able to maintain an overall rating of 9 out of 10, well ... at least a solid 8.5. (Dealing with the public can be similar to stepping into quicksand, with hidden mines waiting to explode.) Mike blew me out of the water. I would give him a 12! With the level of care and concern that Mike adopted our project as his own, I almost checked the deed to our house to see if he was on it, too. And, "the guys"? Fantastic! Are we pleased? No. We're absolutely THRILLED! read more

25 posts rotted through on a 12 year old fence. Suddenly the lifetime warranty is 6 years. Sent a guy out to quote a new fence. Installed incorrectly. Like flushing $6000 down the toilet. read more

We were very pleased with the work Badger Fence did for our home. Mike came out promptly, answered all of our questions, and gave a thorough estimate on the spot. Once we signed the contract we were on the books for 5-7 weeks out, weather depending. Work was done in two stages, one to set the posts and let them settle for about a week. After that, the rest of the fence went up and the workers were so fast! I highly recommend this company. read more

Badger Fence - Fences & Gates Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

No question. Badger Fence deserves a 5 star review. Working with Dave was a pleasure. He was always on time and explained exactly what would be done. I waited 3 years to put up a five-foot privacy fence and if I had known how good it was going to look, and the privacy it would provide, I would have done it 3 years go. The price was right, crew was efficient, and everything was cleaned up by the time I got home. read more

Who in the right mind would sink a fence post into a 2ft diameter concrete sidewalk in a county prone to "Frost Heap". Our back yard fence facing the alley had a gate (next to garage) where the post was set in for the gate latch. Now, every Winter we get the same issue, everything freezes, the slab rises just enough to catch the bottom of the gate and now we cannot open the gate (for emergencies). The simplest solution would have been to attach the post with the latch to the side of the garage which was only about 5 inches further (which does not move vertically in the coldest of winters). They done the same with one of the two gates either side of the house where one WAS attached to the house structure (no issues here with frost heap) and the other one wasn't, so we have the same issue with that one as well! read more

Very professional team and workers . They asked what we wanted , worked with us every step of the way. I was able to move my plants before the install once the fence was outlined. They have a great product and I love the lock option on the gates. read more

It feels like Christmas in July! Incredibly pleased with Hutch and the team at Badger Fence. They installed a beautiful 6" cedar privacy fence in our backyard along with a gate over the driveway complete with separate small gate to our next door neighbor's backyard for the kids to play. Incredibly professional team that got the job done in a total of two days over the span of 3-4 days from the point that the posts were installed and secured. They were even able to respond to a few small subtle changes to the gate on-site to ensure we were happy with the results. Big thank you to Hutch and every one that contributed to this project including office staff. You guys are the bees knees! : ) read more

I called Badger Fence and asked for a quote on fence installation. The Badger Fence representative said "are you interested in getting the fence installed this year?" I replied "not necessarily, I can wait. Would they be able to at least do the estimate this year?" Badger Fence response "Maybe, but our prices change from year to year; we just have a really high volume and cant guarantee anything" I replied "okay" Badger Fence response "okay, good bye" Click! And they hung up the phone! I couldn't even schedule a time to get a quote! --- As someone who works in sales, this AMAZES me, how a lead could call in, be flexible about working with you, and then you still turn the lead away! Its like my money isn't green! I think ill go with another company with better customer service. read more

We had a phenomenal experience with Badger Fence. We were looking for a maintenance free, 6-foot tall, 32-foot stretch of fence to run along our back yard patio. We wanted some privacy from our neighbor's driveway, garage, garbage cans and occasionally barking dog - but we didn't want it to look like a featureless wall, nor like an enormous swath of white plastic. With some preliminary research on our part and some expert advice from Tommy, our exuberant and personable salesman, we settled on a line of fence products called Bufftech, by CertainTeed. The style we chose was Chesterfield CertaGrain with Victorian Accent in their Natural Clay color - and we could not be more thrilled with the outcome. The product has a very realistic, wood grain textured surface. The Victorian Accent top softens the overall effect of the fence and provides a pleasing decorative flair. Our initial request to CertainTeed for more information and a free quote was followed up a day later by Tommy. We set up a time for him to come to our house and give us an estimate on May 21, 2019, settled on the details, and got ourselves on their installation schedule - which Tommy warned us was running about 7 weeks out. Almost 7 weeks to the day, our fence was installed on July 7, 2019. I reached out the week prior for an update and we received a final confirmation of the installation the day before - just as he said we would. The installation crew arrived punctually at 8:00 am on the morning of the installation - and they were gone by 10:30. We could scarcely believe how efficient they were. Each of the posts were set in 3-foot deep, concrete-filled holes, so we're confident that we'll be enjoying this for many years to come. The immediate feedback from our friends and neighbors has been off the charts. One friend texted me after he saw the pictures, saying "Now that's a fence! Very nice! Really makes your patio area sing." We couldn't agree more. We can't say enough about how positive this entire experience has been. Tommy supported us, kept in communication with us and came to personally inspect the final job the following day. This certainly wasn't an inexpensive project - and we wish the installation delay was shorter - but at the end of the day, what we wanted most was a quality product and a job well done. We got that in spades, as the attached before and after pictures show. Our sincere thanks to Tommy, the installation team, and all the great folks at Badger Fence. We obviously highly recommend you! read more

Badger Fence Badger Fence recently installed a fence for my neighbor and my neighbor may be happy with the installation but I am not happy at all. Along the property line were they installed the new fence I have decorative rocks and when they dig the holes for the post they made no effort to clean up the dirt spoils so now I'm stuck with the clean up.The day that they installed the fence I was not home and if I was I would have made sure that they cleaned up their mess along with their cigarette butts. Still wondering what gave them the right to install the fence using my property. When I called Badger Fence and spoke to the owner to tell him of my dissatisfaction with his company he called me an idiot and slammed the phone down. Not a happy neighbor. read more

I used Badger in 2012 when we moved into our new house. The price was fair, the timeframe was agreeable and the work was done as promised. No complaints. Standard Cedar Fencing. Piles of dirt were left near each post and shame on me for not asking about that but par for the course with fence people. I used Badger again in 2017 for a new move. The owner's son is now my salesperson and Jr. was courteous, professional, and everything happened as promised. I will say the post crew leader was a jackass. I wanted the gate to swing a certain way and since its not how he wanted it he pouted and insisted the way he suggested was the way it had to be. I let him be right. At the same time we had a repair done at our old house before moving. The repair was terrible. The fence looked shitty and the new owner commented as much. It cost me extra to appease him. When I lodged the complaint (after asking the owner's wife to send me an invoice which is apparently an aggravation to them) the owner's wife ignored my complaint. No response, no call, no care at all. So, eff you Badger Fence. I spent approximately 8k in 5 years with you and for the measly $395 repair you lost a customer due to your shitty apathy. Use someone else. read more

Badger Fence installed a black chain link fence with two gates, and black fencing on our deck to replace lattice. Wow! We couldn't be more pleased. The salesperson and the crews were amazing. We had gotten three estimates, and Badger excelled. Price was fair, crews professional, and esthetics met all expectations. Kristin F. and Mary W. read more

Badger Fence installed a fence in two sections of our yard the first section is still fine but the longer of the two had started leaning at least 5 degrees in a southerly direction. The posts have been gradually pulling out of the ground. Now Badger Fence wants $480.00+ to straighten it. If you only need your fence to last 6-8 years go ahead and hire them. I have already taken down their metal placard promoting their company off of my existing fence. read more

I couldn't be happier with my fence, or the service I received from Badger. The quality of work is impeccable and the staff was professional and friendly. I have received numerous compliments from neighbors and some have used Badger Fence since and are equally as happy. Thank you Badger for an outstanding job. read more

My husband and I are very pleased with the fence that Badger Fence installed. Sales staff was great as well as the installers. Definitely consider them if you're looking for a new fence. read more

Very happy with Badger Fence. It didn't take that long to get someone out for a quote, and they were similar in pricing to another company we called. Badger took care of the permits, and also getting the utilities marked. The fence is for a dog, and they did a great job making sure there were no gaps. They started the project a few days earlier than we expected, and finished quickly. I saw some bad reviews on Yelp, which was a surprise based on my experience. read more

Top marks for Badger Fence. The people have all been great to work with. We hired them previously to replace our again cedar privacy fence and were so pleased with the experience that we hired them again when we purchased our new home. We ran into difficulties getting the permit with our new city but Tommy and Badger Fence worked hard on our part. We ended up deciding not to proceed and Badger Fence immediately refunded us our deposit and they were completely understanding of our decision to cancel. We will definitely hire them again should we change our mind and decide to put in a fence. read more

Expensive! Got a quote within a week or so so that was good. It seemed high so we went back to look at what a similar fence cost in the Chicago north shore. Badger was, like, a third higher! We ended up having this same company come up an hour and a half drive away and do it for much cheaper. read more

OK on the actual fence work but very bad ethics and business practices. Beware to those who call Badger and expect to deal with an abrasive, money grubbing owner. Would probably opt to choose a different fence company for this kind of work. Local market has few choices however so these fence companies know that and can collude with one another. read more

Disappointed with this company. It took me a month to get an appointment for it later to be cancelled. My appointment was canceled because of weather conditions, but an hour earlier the estimator asked if he can stop by to complete the estimate. When I called to reschedule of course it's at the time convenient for them. Just not happy with coordinating time to complete estimate. read more
