    More rust on gate
    Norman T.

    I would not recommend building a fence with Ernesto. Although Ernesto is very responsive in quoting and timelines, he does not stand by his work. He gave good pricing but you get what you pay for. Do not build your fences with this company The gate was installed November 7th, and it did not even last 1 month before having major issues. There were two major problems when I hired Ernesto for extending our deer fence and adding a gate. 1. Burst pipe - The workers burst open the piping in my front lawn and my gardener had to fix it. Ernesto did offer to send someone to fix it free of charge, but had my gardener not found the issue, my newly installed lawn would be dead grass. 2. The metal post and gate installed are not level causing the gate to not latch properly. Additionally, the latch was not primed so the spray paint flakes off. The paint was so poorly put on that it started to rust. On top of the issues, Ernesto has ignored all my messages regarding the metal gate and won't assume responsibility even though his quote says 1 year warranty on gates and 5 years on fences.

    I'd definitely use Better Fences again. Ernesto was the person I dealt with. He was phenomenal. They did a quality job.

    Storm won over the fence.

    Their work is solidly a 5 stars! Minus one star for not showing up on the agreed upon date and coming one day later. Storms 1 Our Fence 0 The latest series of storms knocked this fence down. Again. We have a LONG property line and this section seems to repeatedly have issues. Called around and got multiple quotes; they had a reasonable price and availability to come out and repair within a week. They were also willing to do metal pole reinforcement posts. Unfortunately the agreed upon day they no showed and had to call to get ahold of them to reschedule to the following day. They showed up with the team and proceeded to repair our fence. The crew dug deep holes and used a generous amount of concrete. The new posts are nice and solid and the metal post reinforcements are done well. They reused majority of the existing fencing that fell since it was just put in 2 years ago and carefully took the salvageable wood apart and reused it in the repair. They also were very careful with our existing conduits and lighting and put back everything. Our fence is looking fabulous and our neighbor is happy with this vendor also.

    old door and fence, can't close due to ground sagging on left end.

    Ernesto responded very quickly to my Yelp project request for quote. Scheduled to have his brother/partner, Eduardo who was very pleasant, come over the next day on a Saturday for a quote. This was a small repair job, needing to replace a small portion of the fence and a new door. I had previous done the other end of this with a highly rated contractors from Yelp a few years ago, which was ~ 2X the price of what was quoted on the new job. Scheduled the work for the following Monday. Eduardo completed the job in about 2.5 hours. Very happy with the result and liked very much that he installed a board over the door to provide additional privacy, which the other contractor did not do a few years back. We'll see how well the cement for the post holds up in the winter.

    I needed fence repaired but many contractors were too busy and/or charged too much, not Ernesto. Immediately after I contacted his company, he responded right away and said he can do it the next day. He immediately sent a quote and was there on the day and time he said he would. Anytime I had a question I asked him through text or a phone call and he would respond immediately. That was very comforting. Ernesto showed up on time, has fair prices, delivered on his commitments, while being very friendly and appreciative of the business. I'm so glad he squeezed my job in, otherwise I'd be waiting for weeks/months. I'm definitely going with Better Fences & Tile and Ernesto in the future. Keep up the amazing work!

    During build.

    Love the work they've done for my front yard! The first day I asked for quote they came and they sent out a very competitive quote very quickly. Ernesto and Jessica response very quickly to all my questions. I compared more than 10 quotes and I can tell you they really give the best price. I'm pretty skeptical at the beginning because their review score is somehow on the lower side compare to other fence companies. And when I review all the comments I found only one reviewer gave a really low score and most other customers gave great review so I decided to give it a try. It turned out they are great. Ernesto listen to all your request and concerns and provide his suggestions but eventually let you make the final decision. My work should be one day only but because there's some miscommunication between me and my neighbor, we have to delay the shared side fence work. Ernesto also understands and we scheduled another day to do the rest of the work. I know that's going to be a burden for him and his team but he did not request to increase the price or quote higher. Eventually after the work he just ask for a check with the same amount with what's quoted. The quality of the build is awesome. I'm attaching some photo to show their work.

    Me and the neighbor went in 1/2 to replace a common fence we had. Ernesto came out and provided a quote, and we ended up going with him as it was solid and reasonable. We got 4 quotes in total for comparison. After deciding to go with Ernesto we picked a date, and his team came out in 1 day and took down the old fence and put the new one up. The fence was approximately 73 feet. Me and the neighbor were pleased with the new fence and would recommend Ernesto. Just keep in mind, he is busy and may be a few weeks out before he can slot you in his calendar.

    Ramon and crew installed 80ft of fencing 7ft tall including lattice and a new gate the same day. They were very responsive and the price and quality of the work and materials were fantastic!

    Repaired fence that had fallen down completely during a storm
    Varun N.

    Our fence fell down during the recent windy storm. Ernesto was pretty responsive from the beginning to the end. They put new posts and reused the other pieces that were still in good condition.

    Ernesto gave good suggestions on what to do for the job and we scheduled the job fairly quickly. The crew came in ready to work and were very efficient. They did 38 feet of back fence installation for us and installed a metal framed side gate and metal posts. Fence work was solid! Just an FYI for the gate. Metal gate frame with outside handle and hinges were welded together. For the two metal posts they took one long post and were short lengthwise for the second post so welded two pieces together. Look-wise it's okay; as far as detail you don't get that clean look as you see welded spots (gate frame and posts). If you want two completely full posts with no welding I'm sure it'll cost more. This was a way to save and cut costs on material. More importantly the Ernesto's crew (his brother and others) were super nice and amazing people, worked hard, and did the job in 6 hours! All in all, very satisfied and happy.

    See all

    Flaked on the estimate appointment once and came late the second time. Good price but flaked on showing up for the job 3 times. Too bad.

    Very pleased with the work done in our backyard. Had a pool and outdoor kitchen installed and it…read morelooks amazing. All of the work was done in a timely manner and the quality is great. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We highly recommend using this company for any outdoor renovation.

    R&R built our deck with a pergola, and we couldn't be happier! We did our research and interviewed…read moreseveral companies before choosing R&R for the following reasons: 1) they offered a full solution (deck + pergola), 2) they handled the city permits which gave us peace of mind, and 3) they arranged tours of properties of their completed projects (with the owners' permission) so we could see materials and features and inspect the workmanship up close. Special shout-out to their project manager Tamir who is an excellent communicator and a pleasure to work with! The timeline ran longer than we expected, but, in fairness, some delays (like permitting) are outside anyone's control, so set your expectations accordingly. The design phase was smooth, the company provided clear renderings which we approved. Construction wasn't without a hiccup or two, but all issues were eventually resolved. The finished result is fantastic! (I hope the photos speak for themselves.) The deck feels like a natural extension of the house, same level as indoors and matching the flooring color, so the indoor-outdoor flow is seamless. Build quality feels rock solid. The pergola's motorized louvers are operated by a remote, and the pergola is effectively watertight when the louvers are closed. Our neighbors saw the deck, loved it, and signed up with R&R for their backyard project. I think that speaks volumes. We're very happy clients and we are planning to hire R&R again next season for a front-yard project.
