Not only did he trust me, he did the work and then allowed me to mail him a check to pay for it. Thank you Luis!!

The entire 24-foot fence project took just over four hours. We had received another quote from a handyman that was significantly higher and did not include a warranty. G & G Deck & Fence's pricing was very reasonable, and the fact that their work is backed by a warranty gave us added confidence. The quality of the work is excellent--the fence looks clean, sturdy, and very well built. Overall, I'm very happy with the results and would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

From beginning to end the experience was great. I'd reached out to multiple companies, planning to take numerous bids, but amazingly found that few were unresponsive. FCR on the other hand was quick to respond to my inquiry on their website Contact page and were quick to set up the estimate appointment. The downside was I needed to wait two weeks. In the meantime I met the Project Manager from another company and was pleased with the experience, except that I never received a bid even though we texted several times. Rob Quinlan from FCR was similarly on time, but his amiability, professionalism, and communication, both in person and in subsequent texts, set him apart. He has excellent follow through, too, as our gates attest! He also really knows the ins and out of gates. When I said I wanted ours to be pushed open from the street side, Rob asked if we had a pool. It turns out that if one has a swimming pool, the gate legally has to swing out to the street. Rob explained that pulling a heavy gate is harder for little kids than pushing it, making it less likely they can access a backyard and drown! I was so impressed with Rob that I told him then and there that I wanted to move ahead with FCR. I received the quote and a contract later that day. It showed the options for the two different types of Redwood. Rob had explained that the photos one sees of beautiful fences are always made of the more expensive wood, from the heart of the tree. I had said that was the one I wanted, but it was still great to see options and prices laid out. I was able to sign the contract electronically. It was another two weeks before the actual installation, but the day of the work was fast and smooth. The crew and Rob arrived separately and on time. We all discussed every detail afresh, this time with Hector and Paco weighing in with their own expertise. There was some discussion among the men as to how and where to install the posts for the new double gate so that it would stay strong for the long term. I was consulted as well and made it clear that longevity and easy operation were paramount to me. I also mentioned that I was nervous about the possibility of there being a pipe to the house in that area, one that was private and therefore not marked by the utility companies. (Rob had done his company's legal duty of arranging the 8-1-1 Dig Ticket ahead of the work day). Rob took me seriously and walked out to the sidewalk, saw that there was indeed a drainage outlet there and told Hector to dig slowly and attentively. Rob left for the day and Hector and Paco got to work. Hector did find the water pipe about 12" down, right where the post was supposed to go. He had me come out and see the situation. He gave me two options: place the post over the pipe, in which case it would lack endurance for the long term, or go two feet down in the hole he had already dug closer to the house. I opted for the deep hole and the reliable fence. I was glad to have been consulted. I was grateful for Hector's having found the pipe without damaging it. Both gates and the small fence surrounding them were completed between 8am and 3pm. The areas were all cleaned up. Hector had me come out and assess the work. The gates have easy and sturdy hardware on them. They open and close with ease, swinging into the backyard as specified. They're attractive, substantial, and show every sign of enduring. I knew from the good communication that I could simply hand the check to Hector. Rob was going to come by to make sure I was happy but I said I was exceedingly pleased and insisted he didn't need to. He followed up with a text nevertheless to double check and I gave him a glowing, detailed review. Later that day I received an invoice showing I had paid. I couldn't be any happier than to have trusted this work to FCR Fence & Deck.

We had noticed…read morethe neighbors a few doors down had done all the fencing around their home, back, side, and front. Everything looked very good, and we asked who did the work. It was AB Fencing. Our neighbors wanted to replace the shared fence, so it fell to me to do a search. AB was top of my list, but I also wanted to get 5 comparative quotes. The first one was a non-starter, but the other four came out, and we discussed what could and should be done. After putting all 5 quotes into a spreadsheet, AB came out on top. With one area that made a special request on, AB was almost half off a couple of the quotes. Alfonso started the job when he said he would. He talked us through where and how he would do things and the stages of taking down the old fence and putting the new one up. He really powered through it, and the new fence looks amazing. He had some steep terrain to deal with, but did it all much faster than expected. The end result is amazing. We have an entirely new backyard. Behind us is a greenspace, and the new fence with the hogwire opens it up much more than the previous fence. He also added a gate so we can maintain the weeds and a bit of a firebreak. I highly recommend AB Fencing and Alfonso. Alfonso is VERY responsive, and the quality and workmanship have been very impressive.

Dustin and his team were very efficient: they dismantled the wood gate and fence panel abutting the house, quickly built the framework for the metal replacements, then took it away to create and powdercoat the final pieces, leaving a temporary plastic barrier so deer wouldn't enter the yard. Dustin was great at communicating, even checked that I was happy with the design as the gate was in progress. When the gate and panel were done, they installed the pieces very quickly. It was the most low-maintenance house improvement we've ever done. And we are so pleased with the new look; metalwork from Dimensional Iron is a great way to meet Zone 0 requirements and see not only a safety improvement but also a major aesthetic improvement. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered a custom fabricated firewood holder from Dustin at Dimensional Iron. He and Jim came up with a unique and creative design and they were very professional to work with. The piece arrived promptly and I was even impressed with the packaging. When I opened the package, the firewood holder was so stunning that I didn't want to use it for firewood and ended up having a marble table top made for it and I use it as a gorgeous coffee table in my living room. I absolutely love it and highly recommend Dimensional Iron. read more

Dustin and the guys at Dimensional Iron were great! Dustin made sense out of my grade-school sketches for an iron-and-wood gate that is the focal point of a chest-high stone wall in my backyard. The item was finished and ready for pickup ahead of schedule and was near perfect.

We worked with Matt on two projects right after buying our home in Oakland, and we couldn't be…read morehappier. Referred by our realtor, we started consulting him before we even closed. After getting multiple quotes, Matt stood out for the best combination of experience, value, and craftsmanship. He was incredibly patient--sticking with us for nearly a year through timing delays, big decisions, the birth of our child, and City permitting hurdles. Now that we've moved on to other projects, we truly wish every contractor were as professional, skilled, timely, and collaborative as Matt. Our first project was a large fence around our steep backyard. Matt met with us and our neighbors multiple times to finalize placement and coordinated on what needed to be cleared. His team completed the fence at record speed, and the redwood blends beautifully into the forested backdrop. It looks fantastic--and our dog loves his new wonderland. The second project was a much more complex like-for-like replacement of a 30-year-old deck. Matt guided us on what to keep, what to upgrade, and walked us through material and design options. We chose TimberTech decking with a redwood and hog wire railing, and the result is stunning. Despite unexpected permitting challenges with the City of Oakland, Matt stayed fully engaged, coordinating with our structural engineer and always making himself available. His team demolished and rebuilt the deck remarkably quickly, and the finished product has transformed our home. It's added so much gathering space, and every time we're out there, it feels like we're on vacation. We recommend Matt without hesitation for any fence or deck project.

The fence is up, and they did come back when we raised an issue, but we had to compromise on the…read moresolution rather than getting it done right. I wouldn't use them again. The original fence was designed so the corner post was shared, making it feel balanced and intentional from all three properties. The new install prioritizes one long run and drops a post mid-span to branch off for the neighbors. It's not as clean or considered, and you can tell. To be clear, if they had simply followed the original footprint, this would have been a perfectly acceptable fence. It's sturdy. But the materials are budget and there's no craft to it, so getting the design wrong makes an already basic fence that much harder to fix. Communication was poor throughout: no response when we confirmed our availability, then two guys showed up unannounced on a day our neighbor's dog was in the backyard. There was also a 10-foot measurement error in the quote. We hired a company instead of DIY-ing because we wanted something thoughtful and neighbor-considerate. This felt like they just got the fence up and moved on, and we're the ones living with the result for the next decade.
