I was completely and positively happy with my new Barrier fence! Our fence is the best looking one in the neighborhood. I reached out to them and was quickly contacted by Paul who scheduled a site visit at my convenience, went over some design options and negotiated a fair and reasonable price. Rick and his installation team arrived on time, worked diligently and were professional and friendly throughout the build. These guys really know their business. With almost 25 years of fence building expertise, minor modifications were a snap, the fence was completed on time and feels like it will stand true for many years to come. The fence is sturdy, straight and level. Even now in the dead of winter, my yard looks great thanks to this beautiful fence. read more

I had a good, but not great experience with Barrier Fence Systems. We needed a fence to be but up at a house we were moving into rather quickly. Paul was extremely attentaive, gave us a quck estimate which was lower than the competition by a significant amount, and worked with us to have the fense installed in a timely manner. The materials were also of good quality. However, to have the top of the fence slope with the terrain, they left some rather large gaps at the bottom of the fence which I then had to address. They also use only a two run system (top and bottom) without having a middle runner. They really should specify that in the bid and contract. If we ever needed another fence, I'd consider using them again but would significantly tighten up the contract. read more

We had Mark's crew back out to replace our side fences and gate after high winds blew part of the old original fence down. We decided to have him add a lattice screen in front of our air conditioners while he was out. Their lattice is completely custom made of really high quality materials. It's a lot thicker and nicer than anything you'd find at a home improvement store, but it's still nicely affordable. It's worth mentioning that my husband and I were in the process of digging some post holes to hang a hammock while we had this work done. We were having a lot of trouble due to the amount of limestone in our backyard. The crew jackhammered out the limestone for us and set our posts as a bonus. Above and beyond service. I think the number of positive reviews has increased their workload significantly lately. It required a little bit of patience in scheduling. That said, it was hands down worth the wait. They do top notch work. read more

Barrier Fence Systems - Thanks again for jackhammering our limestone and setting our hammock posts! It was a real cherry on top of the project! - Fences & Gates Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Awful. Just hope they get it right on the first attempt. They will not return emails or phone calls. The crew that came out to do the work poured cement all over our yard. They also messed up sprinkler heads. I have left messages for two people and no response. There are numerous fencing companies here in Austin. Do not trust this one with your fencing needs. read more

Im updating my post. My deck had been built for 4 months. One week later, rains came and they have been here since. My deck is leaking MORE AND MORE every storm and is getting damaged every time. Its damaging my house now too.The roof was connected wrong and won't seal. I have complained, Paul stated its going to cost me. I raised hell and he sent two roofers out for bid 1.5 months ago and he told them they were too pricey. 1 month ago, he stated he was made to buy the material and will be dropping off on the deck that weekend and the crew will text when they will be completing the job. never happened, now completely ignoring me. 6k wasted and overcharged too begin with is how I feel. Next step is reporting, then taking to small claims court. read more

Recent stormy weather blew down two or three sections of my old back yard fence. I contacted Barrier and they quoted me $400 (their minimum) and, after a couple of delays, came out and repaired it. It's...okay. But, they mentioned returning to finish up a couple of things such as protruding screws and never did. They also stopped replying to my polite queries by phone and email. Only reason I can think of why is that I'd already paid by then. 10/25 UPDATE: Barrier has since contacted me and returned to cut off the protruding screws. read more

A+ and so easy to work with. Efren came out and got me a bid within 48 hours and my back fence was replaced within a couple days. Very fast, very professional, the guys were terrific and communication was excellent and thorough. Efren was running 5 minutes late in traffic, and called, that kind of consideration is much appreciated. In addition to the great service, their bid was significantly less than another I received, and they did a great job salvaging the good wood from my damaged fence. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

You would never think it would be so hard to get a fence replaced in Austin. I spent the last few months researching and getting quotes from a variety of companies to replace my rear fence. All were more expensive than I thought but none were in any rush to come out and do it. It was a simple job, 60 feet of fence with no gates, but almost none of the 6 companies I called, were even willing to come out and give me a quote or could commit to a start date for at least a month from the date I called. I couldn't believe how hard this was just to get a fence put up. Barrier Fence was the one exception. They quickly responded to my request and found a way to fit me into their schedule and meet my deadline. I was skeptical given there were some bad reviews on here, but they went above and beyond to make everything right, despite some complications on my end. The initial project had a few issues, being that my HOA were extra picky about things, their rules didn't specify. So even though Barrier had already set wooden posts they helped me swap them with metal ones and kept the price to upgrade reasonable. A few weeks later the crap really hit the rafters, when I found out another hidden HOA rule...they wanted my fence facing the opposite direction. My wife and I nearly had a heart attack...they even threatened to sue and fine us. I called Mark, the owner and within a few days had a crew back out to flip the whole thing around plank by plank. I honestly can't say enough good things about these guys and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They stick to their promises, do great work and provided an amazing level of customer service, given the issues I threw at them. One tip for anyone putting in a fence...be sure to get prior approval and extremely specific info before starting a fence project. The devil is in the details. read more

Barrier Fence just did a great job replacing the fence around my home. From beginning to end, the process was professional, enjoyable and everything you would want it to be. I started by contacting several fence contractors online and got vague, unimpressive quotes from their websites. After expressing interest on Barrier's website, Paul contacted me and came out to have a look and take some measurements. He talked about some options and explained the pros and cons of each, no pressure or upsell. After giving him my preferences he promised me a quote within a few days. The quote arrived as promised, clearly stated and thorough, and competitive with all the other quotes I had received. I had one question which was quickly answered, and we scheduled a start date. Paul explained how the demolition/installation process would go, and things went as described. He came out to get the job started, and even went over to talk to the neighbor to explain that his team would be standing on their property a bit while working on the fence, even though I told him I had already taken care of that. The crew was courteous and careful of our landscaping and the irrigation system that was next to the fence. There was no damage to either, which amazed me since they removed the old posts which were set in concrete. Throughout the whole process I was always able to contact Paul and get a quick response. I definitely give Barrier top ratings for service and workmanship. read more

Mark, Dean & the crew at Barrier Fence Systems took the worry and guesswork out of my fence project. From receiving the bid and being readily available to answer questions, to scheduling the work and ensuring that the job was completed to my satisfaction, these guys knocked it out of the park! There are many fence companies in the area, but their honesty and commitment to quality were the reasons I chose Barrier Fence Systems. My fence looks great, and I know it's built to last. read more

I guess I'm like most of the other 3 stars or fewer reviews here. I had a good, not great experience with Barrier. I've had two fences installed by them at two separate properties. The good - I have never had a problem getting a quote or getting someone to start on the project. Their final work looks great, as shown in most of the pictures. The bad - The price they bid for the iron fence (which I found out later, they had never done before) was really high. Like nearly $10k high. I get it, custom builds and the materials cost a lot. But this seemed really high for the number of panels installed (only front and back of a 600 sf house, no sides) and the two young guys they sent out to construct this thing for the very first time. The bid for a horizontal cedar fence at another property was much more competitive. The ugly - I had some issues with both fences that took FOREVER to get resolved (also called out in other non-5 star reviews). The most critical issue is *still* not fully resolved, but I'm tired of going back and forth with them and will get someone else to handle it. While one issue was a minor annoyance that was eventually fixed (swing gate was way too heavy for the flimsy handle they installed, so a gust of wind easily broke it), the critical issue involved a gaping hole in the fence where a panel was never installed. I have video of people (mostly kids) trespassing on my property because of the large gap. I got the fence installed for safety in my neighborhood, and my security cameras caught kids, package thieves, etc coming and going through the open part of the fence as they pleased. I paid way too much money for this to be the case, but it took several weeks of calls and emails to finally get them back out to put up temporary fixing until they could install the final panel. That was weeks ago, and the panel is still not installed. But like I said, I'm tired of dealing with them. The project was supposed to be completed almost a year ago. They also left a lot of brush, rubbish, and materials (like extra paneling, concrete bags, etc) at my property for me to dispose. More $$. The fences look great, but overall not super impressed with the professionalism of these guys. Will probably be going with handy friends or another company for the next one. read more

I had a great experience with Barrier! Paul came out for the estimate and immediately began telling me what parts of my fence material could be reused (like metal posts) and I immediately knew I could trust him to tell me what I needed and what I really didn't need. The quote was reasonable and he even broke it down by which neighbors I would be sharing it with. The crew came out and put the fence up quick and cleaned up after themselves. The fence is beautiful and straight and sturdy and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend. read more

Paul responded to my quote request immediately, came out the next day, and his crew came out the day after that. I even had an unusual gate request (opening toward the posts) that I feared would get lost in translation, but it was done right the first time. Would definitely do business with Barrier again. read more

Repaired our fence when others could not do it. The crew was professional and very courteous. My fence along side was all gone to get some construction work. When they finished it was better than the original. I highly recommend them. read more

Working with Paul was a great experience. Everything was completed EXACTLY as he said it would be. I wish my dealings with all contractors went half this well. read more

Wow - wish I could echo all these wonderful reviews here on Yelp! It was headed that way, but Dean at Barrier Fence dropped off the face of the earth half way through the process. Dean, Project Manager, at Barrier Fence (Mark's Father-in-Law), came over to provide an estimate. Dean appeared to be a stand-up guy, and I liked the fact that they used all cedar products. Their price was a little higher than others I received, but decided to go with Barrier anyways, and advised Dean of such. Initial email communication with Dean was good. He emailed me and said he would pencil me in two to three weeks from acceptance. We'll it's been three weeks, and I've called twice, left messages each time, and emailed, and have received NO response. Very disappointed with experience. Not sure how companies like this in Austin survive. I've taken my business elsewhere and suggest you do the same. read more

Sad to report that I called for a quote over a week ago and haven't heard from anyone since. I clearly explained that my fence was leaning and my insurance wanted me to have a professional opinion a.s.a.p. I was told that someone would get back to me to set up a visit. Moving on... read more

DO NOT HIRE BARRIER FENCE SYSTEMS TO DO YOUR FENCE, UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH LARGE GAPS AT THE BOTTOM, OUR 40 LBS DOG FIT UNDER THE FENCE. THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT! We share a fence with our neighbor, and paid half of our share. Efren, the Barrier Fence employee who we dealt with was aware that we were in the process of building a pool as we had discussed it with him. Furthermore, the entire pool and deck was flagged in our yard, which was impossible to miss. Unfortunately, we were not given a contract from Barrier as our neighbor negotiated with them, all we have from them is an invoice. There are large gaps at the bottom of the fence, some as large as 7"-8", my 40lbs dog fits under it which defeats the purpose of a fence. Unfortunately, the company is unwilling to adjust the gaps and make them compliant with the city, because we don't have a contract with them. I believe it is the company responsibility to provide the client with a contract, they sure knew who to charge and send the invoice to when the time came to pay. We have already paid them a significant amount of money, now Barrier wants to charge us extra, since they say Efren did not write our pool project in our neighbors contract. Extra money to fix an issue that could have been avoided in the first place had the fence been built properly.I would strongly advise anyone considering this company to walk in the opposite direction. We ended up using Allied Fence & Security for the rest of our yard, since we were displeased with the craftsmanship of Barrier. You will not be disappointed if you chose Allied, they were professional, on time, and did a spectacular job. read more

Called for an appointment. Call was returned. We spoke and discussed which day it would be, late morning. I understand non specific times due to other business conflicts so accepted that time. Went outside to work in the garden all morning - no show. Later in the day discovered a message on my phone asking to finalize time. Called back to apologize for not receiving the message. Never heard back. Seems like a top Rated place would call back, even if only to explain that they are too busy for the business. read more

I called the company less than a week before Christmas, looking for an urgent fence repair before my new dog arrived. Not only did the owner come out for a prompt quote, but he happily worked out four different prices for me to choose from, depending on my choice of materials and whether I wanted the repair done in a diagonal or squared off. His quote was a tiny bit higher than the next lowest one I'd gotten, but he could come out a lot sooner, and was great about prompt communication. Then he got his crew out here the day after I agreed; they arrived a little later than anticipated, but he called ahead to let me know, and they were fast and efficient. They were done by just after lunch, cleaned up after themselves, and left me with a shiny (well, woody) new fence that was exactly what I needed. Great work, great communication throughout, very fast, and reasonable prices. I'm happy. read more

Barrier Fence just recently completed a project including us and five other homes and I have to say he has exceeded my expectations. After interviewing several fence companies, we selected Mark who appeared not only fair priced, but forthright, honest, hard working, and extremely knowledgeable. I also found him to be reachable by phone and if not immediately available would respond in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable about our options and helped explain what he would do to complete the project (our fence is a bit challenging because it rests on a hill). I am most impressed with not only the quality of his work and attention to detail, but also his Project Management skills. Communicating and coordinating with six homes in an ever changing and expanding project took much persistence, patience, and diplomacy. He is extremely professional. I am a perfectionist at heart and will keep working at something until I get it right, so my standards are pretty high. Mark and his team never gave me a cross look when I ask them to tweak things here and there. He wanted us to be happy with his work which really shows. A shout out to Alex and Edgar who did a beautiful job of cutting the fence around a tree and put up with my broken Spanish. A shout out to also Tyler who did a fantastic job staining our fence. It looks beautiful! We are over the moon with the work that he has done on our fence. Now beauty is restored once again to our humble neighborhood! Thank you Mark! read more

I hired barrier fence after a storm blew off my yard gate. They came out in a timely manner and gave an accurate estimate for a new gate and replacement of some old posts. I do not have a fancy yard or fence and they worked with me to use my existing fence and did Not try to oversell me. They provided what I needed and even took out an old cement post holder that had nothing to do with the part of the fence they were fixing. After the installation I had a small problem with the gate and they came back and fixed it. I've had work done on my house for other things (windows and a tile installation) and contractors did not come out to fix small problem after dozens of calls and emails. Barrier Fence is a company with integrity. read more

Fence installation is ok but they broke my sprinkle system. I have 7 zones. 2 of them are no longer working after installation. Call the sales, he said he'll check with the worker and call me back. Nothing... So be careful to use their service especially you have underground systems. read more

I bought my first home and needed a new fence for the front yard and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I worked with DJ and he was extremely attentive, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I changed my mind a few times about what I wanted, and it wasn't a problem even though some of my changes were last minute. Their turnaround was super quick and they even squeezed me in despite all the rain we had in August. Thanks DJ and the team for an awesome job! My pup Luna is super happy :) read more

Can't give a more emphatic recommendation for Mark and this business. I sent out for 3 bids, one guy said measure yourself and I charge this much per square foot, the next guy took so long to respond Mark was done with my fence already. I was given contract that spelled out EVERY detail and cost so their were no surprises or hidden costs. I had 310 feet of fence COMPLETE in 2 days. No matter if I called, texted, or emailed, Mark responded quickly. There were ZERO surprises and the workmanship is great. I've already recommended Mark to my friends and co-workers with great success. If Mark is in business he is my fence guy. read more

Barrier did a big heavy 8 foot cedar fence for my back yard. I live against a rented 2 story frat / flop house. This fence solved about 98% of the sight line situation and it makes the entire back side of my yard private and secluded. I'm still adjusting to the shock. This is a strong fence with heavy grade galvanized steel poles, jack hammered into rock, based with concrete. Excellent work, good communication about exactly what I wanted to happen. I have to say that the City of Austin permitting process is a bear. This was an enormous bother to get orchestrated and for a 78 foot stretch of fence, the City charged me $563.00 for permitting and inspection. Ridiculous. Barrier is a busy company, so call way ahead. read more

I needed two types of fencing, wood and iron but had some budget concerns. Paul took the time to make sure he know what I was looking to do and gave me different options for consideration. The work was done in two days and I felt like I got the fence I wanted at a very reasonable price without having to sacrifice the quality. I can't recommend Paul and his crew enough. read more

We worked with Efren to build a fence for our new house along a busy street. When I contacted him, he returned my call the same day. He came to look at the site the following day and his team was there to built the fence the following week.Their schedule was thrown off by a hard rain but he quickly communicated their new timeline. He and his team were beyond flexible when we wanted to make an adjustment after the concrete & polls were placed. The fence is exactly how we had envisioned. We will be hiring Barrier Fence when fence in our back yard. read more

I had several companies bid my job but Barrier Fence stood out in that 1) Jason explained my options as well as his recommendations, 2) he allowed me to customize the height and board spacing I wanted (to allow just enough doggie views), 3) the fence was beautifully done, 4) the cost was very reasonable, and 5) the square metal posts will last longer than I will! Thanks Jason and Barrier Fence Systems! read more

Overall great experience. The fence is beautiful and just what was promised. Very fair pricing and they do great job outlining all your options. Only minute beef was took a little longer than expected and had to follow up but very courteous and friendly. Also the only company out of four that actually returned calls and honored appointment time read more

I, like many other reviewers, had a terrible time getting bids from fence contractors. When I contacted Barrier, they had a reasonable, competitive quote to me within 48 hours. Their quote also included everything while other quotes I received were in the same price-range but did not include demo of old fence, etc. Jason was super nice and professional. He came out to double check the measurements I gave him (from another bid- and they were wrong), and let me know they would get started the next day! The crew showed up a tad later than expected, but I had planned to be home all day anyway, so it didn't matter. They did impeccable work (impressed my perfectionist Engineer husband!), finished on time, cleaned everything up perfectly. They also didn't run my final payment until I called and told them we were 100% happy. We couldn't be happier and will always refer people to Barrier Fence. read more

Dean Harbin at Barrier Fence handles the residential fence projects. I worked with Dean to design the fence for a very small area in East Austin. We wanted a great aesthetic, competitive cost, craftsmanship and personal attention. Jackpot! We got it all. Barrier Fence cares about doing great work and their reputation. Fences are not always easy, there are neighbors to coordinate with, lots of decisions to make and issues to take into consideration (old fences, gas lines, etc.) Dean was on top of all the aspects. Easy to reach and always going the extra step. Its a family business that I wish the most continued success for, I would recommend them to anyone. read more

They were really responsive and I had a quote and solid follow up from Efren quickly. He helped to facilitate everything and made things easy which was great. Edgar and the rest of the guys were super nice, professional, worked hard and quickly, and were basically wonderful. They finished everything in less than 24 hours which was delightful. I would definitely recommend them. read more

We needed 15 fence posts replaced. We had trouble getting bids from different fencing companies, but Barrier was timely in their response and came in significantly below the other 2 bids we received. They were a few hours late in showing up, but once they did, they got to work quickly. They knocked it out in 1/2 a day, got the fence back up looking as good as it ever did, and cleaned up after themselves. We're getting the house ready to sell, so I won't have anything to say about the long-term quality of their work, but what I've seen has been impressive. read more

Truly a first class job from the bid to job completion. Hiring people or companies to do work like this is very painful for me since of course "I can do it" however spending multiple weekend digging holes, pouring cement, acquiring materials, construction and of course dealing with neighbors trying to split money up is just too much. Jason came out fast provided a fair bid, where we then churned on it for a few weeks and with a go had 232 ft of fence up in two days. Can't say enough good things. read more

On bidding my fence job, Dean was the most responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. There was no question I was going to use Barrier. And now that my fence is installed, I couldn't be happier. Even with schedule and weather delays, Dean always kept me in the loop about the timing and expectations (via email, phone, and text). He was upfront with me about my options and let me know about the differences between the materials (Ameristar) that we chose and others on the market. Highly recommended! read more

Dean and his crew did a FANTASTIC job on my new cedar fence. From quote to project to clean up their work was top shelf. The materials used were excellent. I would HIGHLY recommend this company - I got 3 quotes and from first contact, it was clear that Barrier was the most professional and the most detail oriented. read more

Barrier Fencing Rocks! I shopped around and found comparable deals but felt the most at ease with Dean and his crew from Barrier Fencing. Aside from the fact that their reputation is impeccable and the finished product fabulous, Dean is honest as the day is long and nice as can be! I prefer giving my hard earned money to folks I like. From the initial meeting to calling on Barrier months later (wind blew the gate and damaged it- Barrier promptly came out and fixed it for free) they have been nothing but professional, courteous and hard working. I couldn't be happier with my 150 foot cedar fence and 20 ft double sided gate. Thanks Dean and Barrier!! read more

After replacing my cedar fence once before, I decided to switch out and replace the backyard fencing with ornamental iron fencing. DJ came to my house, listened to my concerns and requests, and promptly provided an itemized bid, just as I had asked. I received bids from two other companies as well. But I chose Barrier in large part because DJ gave thorough explanations and answered all of my questions quickly. I ended up going with a fencing that was more expensive than what was first quoted. I could not be happier and my neighbors are pleased as well. The crew was courteous and skilled and left the worksite in good shape each day before leaving. I would recommend Barrier Fencing for any job and can speak from experience to the excellent work they do with residential ornamental fencing. read more
