I had two posts that were weak and needed to be replaced. I called two different fence repair companies and their estimates were expensive and since both sides of the fence are side yards with cemented walkways they would need to cut the concrete in order to replace the posts. I called Fence Dr. Herb, he came the next morning, explained how he would not cut the concrete, but reinforce the posts with steel brackets for long lasting strength and support at a lower cost. The work was done two days later, the fence is strong and solid again and I'm happy with the result. I give Herb and his crew my highest recommendation! read more

Fence Dr - General Contractors Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I hired Fence Doctor to repair a few sections of my fence that was damaged during the winter storm. Got a few estimate, one was 30% lower than Fence Dr, but ultimately decided to go with Herb since he seems to know fences really well, and was able to explain things. Pros: - He and his crew are excellent at doing their work, fast and efficient and cleaned up after themselves - Really like the newly installed fence sections Cons: - He pushed out the installation date 3 times due to various reasons, and told me the day before he needed to change the date - His initial quotes didn't match what he told me verbally, resulting in delays to begin the work. Overall, I'm satisfied with the work Herb and his crew from Fence Dr did, and will recommend his service. read more

Herb and his crew were awesome! From the beginning he was very honest which I respect a ton. The quality of the work is outstanding and the professionalism fantastic. They made sure that after each day that the worksite was clean and organized. They did NOT cut corners they made sure that their work nothing but QUALITY! Herb went above and beyond because he added a small gate to the other side of my home so I didn't have to go all the way around to access my backyard at no cost. AWESOME! The communication between texts and phone calls were great. He got back to me ASAP. I highly recommend Herb if you need your fence or a new gate for your home. THANK YOU HERB AND YOUR CREW! read more

I wish I could write a better review, however after many issues with Herb and his crew I can not. All the fences they installed led to broken sprinkler lines, drip lines, damage to my yard lighting, and they hung the fence gate the wrong way (opened the opposite way we had asked for). This happened even after a conversation was had with the owner (Herb), prior to the start of the project and he ensured me that his team would be mindful of these things. So I bring the broken sprinkler line and gate to Herbs attention...he immediately gives excuses and does not want to at least hear what is going on. Same for the direction on how the gate opens. Herb only wanted to make excuses. Finally after some debate, he initially said he would come back and fix the issues to the sprinklers and fix the gate (so it would open the other way). He "gave me is word" that it would be fixed. Then I get a text message saying that he would not be fixing it. I'm disappointed, frustrated and let down, not to mention disrespected as I spent a lot of money on a new fence, which has led me to spending even more money to fix the issues they created. In short this company disrespects the yards they are working in and takes no responsibly for it. If you use this company beware! read more

We needed both a curved iron railing up the front curved brick stairs, and also a replacement of two sections of the pool railings to the back yard. Herb's price came in way below the other three bids, and after discussion, my husband and I decided to "take a chance." His son Nick and co worker Brandon did the job in four hours despite 100F heat. It is exactly what we needed, and we are grateful they didn't take advantage of seniors. Thank you Fence Dr! read more

Our neighbor hired them to do the whole fence. While the fence looks nice, they left a ton of dirt in our rock bed and also filled our greens bin to the top with empty cement bags and McDonald's garbage. If you're paying 13k for a fence, you shouldn't have shit left around your yard. Not sure how they treated the yard that hired them. read more

I have used Herb and his son for fence services 2x in the past and had excellent return response and work performed was also well done. Now that we've had some windy conditions in the area I called 3x and left messages to return my call. Finally I received a return call from a lady who scheduled for the same day at 5:30pm for an estimate. They didn't show up. Since I did use Herb in the past, I thought I would give them a second chance, which I did. The lady scheduler once again set up an estimate time at 5pm, and they didn't show up again. Years ago, when it was just Herb, services were excellent, response was excellent. Now, I would stay clear. They have lost my business. read more

From the time I contacted Herb, he answered immediately and came out the very next day for an estimate. The job was done professionally, with great quality and perfect communication. Stop looking for someone to put up your fence and just use the Fence Dr. read more

These guys were great to work with. Great price and no hassle. Mike was easy to communicate with and we only waited a short time for the fence to go up. We are really happy with it. The installation crew were friendly and worked quickly in100 degree heat. Absolutely recommend! Mike Rich read more

Great response time and considerate, along with fair pricing. It also gives me comfort when the work team is happy and enthusiastic about completing the job. A change order provided more stability and fortitude to my project. There was some urgency on my part to start my job immediately, due to safety concerns. They delivered and I was relieved. I made one concession but I would hire this company again. Very happy with cleanup and disposal of materials. It was also reassuring to have the owner, Herb, present before job completion. read more

Herb and his crew put up a side gate for us. He was easy to work with and has competitive prices. He responds to you promptly and shows up on time. We will definitely turn to him for our fence needs in the future. read more

We had portions of our fence replaced just a couple of years ago. With the recent heavy winds it came down with replaced sections as well. Herb came out to inspect, and then gave me a very fair estimate. He soon had the broken sections removed completely, and the very next day they returned, and we had four new sections up by the end of the day built with a very high quality wood, and in straight alignment. He even installed trimmed post tops to let the rain flow down more easily, and help prevent future wood rot; neither the other fence installer, nor the developer who built this house ever did that. I only wish I had used him the first time. Don't make my mistake, call Herb instead! read more

They turned our gate into a security gate because it was metal and open with bars. It looks beautiful. They recommended a solid piece of metal and it looks great and now we have privacy. Herb, thank you! read more

I hired them to replace my fence. They gave me a quote and when it was accepted, they showed up to get the money. Some days later they showed up to do the fence. It couldn't be built where the existing fence was ?? So they moved it in as foot. My yard is now a foot smaller the entire length of the yard. I asked for my final receipt so that I could be reimbursed by the owner next door because OF COURSE there were additional charges. It's been months, several phone calls, messages and what ever else I could do and still no receipt and no reimbursement from the other owner. read more

They were so professional and nice. The job was pretty big and the workmanship was fantastic, we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much 5 star rating read more

We had an appointment with Herb today to get an estimate, but unfortunately he was a no show and we didn't get a call from him.

As others have noted in their reviews, Herb does NOT return phone calls or keep to his word of coming back if something is not right with his work. He built a new fence/gate for me but after a few weeks, the posts settled and the gate does not open and close smoothly anymore. Several phone calls left for him have been unanswered. When someone pays good money to have a project done, you expect the contractor to stand by his work. Not so with Herb - empty promises of coming back to fix any problems that arise. It is a shame since the initial work done seemed to be very well done. What needs to be fixed would probably take less than 1/2 hour but Herb does not seem to care leaving me no choice but to rate him poorly. Try Java Fence first. read more

I was referred to this guy by a friend, so I gave him a call and left a voicemail. He didn't return the call. I left another voicemail and said my second attempt. He finally called but it was several days later. We made an appt., and he never showed up! read more

Initially really liked Herb. He was quick to complete the job. However, didn't notice until after install that the latch to the gate was installed incorrectly. Called him twice and finally received a return call. Explained to him the issue, Herb says he would come by to fix it. Haven't heard from him since, which is really unfortunate since I was planning to have him out for a couple more jobs. read more

I'm so confused. They came and gave me a quote, when I called to set up installment he said he would call be back. Twice he answered when I allied and said he would call be back. No calls, and no returned emails or yelp messages. He ghosted me. I wish he would have just communicated if he was unable to do the job . read more

First let me say that I went with another contractor, back in 2016, only because they were a referral from a trusted family member, and wish I would have used Fence Dr. instead. Herb promptly returned my message, and calls, and came out to view my property and assess our fencing needs quickly. He required no measuring tape, unlike all of the other contractors that I met with, and sent me a written bid within 24 hours. The measurements for our yard were spot on and his pricing beat the majority of competitors. My first mind told me to hire him for the job and I should have listened. I am now considering calling Herb, again, to fix the mess of a fence that is now in place. I will update this review, hopefully to a 5 star, if he is selected for a fence job in the future. read more

Reached out in order to try and get a quote. I received a quick response indicating to please text him so he would have my phone number and that he would likely be able to come out the next day to give me a proper quote. In addition I sent him two pictures so he could see the job. The next day I received a message back from him asking me to stop sending him picture messages over and over again, and that his phone kept trying to receive them and it kept failing. I explained that I had only sent two and they were from the day before. This was the last I heard from him. He could have simply written my number down and deleted the text thread and it would have resolved the issue. Instead he chose to not do business with me over a picture message issue on his phone. read more

Needed our gate replaced. Called on Herb with Fence Dr. and he was pleasant to speak with, took good care of us. Upon completing the job, told us to give them a call anytime with issues and they would be back out to fix it! read more

Herb and his crew came out to replace a fallen part of my fence on one side of the house. I liked the workmanship and fair price that I had him replace all my fencing in the back yard! There were some scheduling mis-haps, but they were valid and I wasn't in a hurry as my side neighbor did not have a dog and mine is indoors. Herb is no sales hype, to the point as to what is needed and recommended and let's you make the decision. read more

Fixed a shared fence. Work was just okay but they left the huge concrete post for the old fence in the middle of my yard and a big hole around the fence as they didn't bother to fill the dirt back in. Called to let them know and never heard from them! With all the competition out there their customer service needs a lot of work. read more

Storm that hit Bay Area in mid February blew down 50 feet of our fence and Herb came out immediately to give us an estimate. After we accepted his proposal they started the job within a couple of days of their window of when they could start the job. It was a pretty big storm that hit the area and it was obvious fence contractors were slammed so we were very impressed they completed the job within one week of our signing the contract. The fence looks great and we are 100% satisfied. read more

I can't recommend Herb enough! He responded to our quote request in less than an hour and completed our fence repair on super short notice. We received two quotes before Herb gave us his and he beat them both by $600 and $900, respectively. He was straightforward, honest and did great work! read more

Very good work that Herb's son and the other young man did on there fence work. They re-fenced a 16' section that was old and beginning to fall apart. Also built a new side gate along the side of our house that is really strong and nice looking too. I will for sure utilize "Fence Dr." for future projects. All in all it seems that they really go out of there way to satisfy the home owner(s). read more

Owner Herb Morean and his two-man crew did an excellent job replacing 25' of wooden fencing that had collapsed in our backyard. They arrived on time, got right to work and were done by mid-afternoon, even though the work involved digging and pouring concrete for two posts that also had to be replaced. Moreover, Herb's bill was hundreds less than the other bids we received. This is your go-to guy for top-notch work without the sales hype. read more

Excellent workmenship and high quality lumber, the lumber was not from a big box retail store. I would definitely use them again. Many of the other contractors' prices were higher, used inferior lumber or never returned calls. If you are looking for a great fence call them! LJM read more

Herb came out and did the job. I have been calling him for almost a year now to come out and fix the poor quality fence he built. His promises are empty when he says that he will come out to fix anything that is not done right. I am not sure how he has been working so man years. I wouldn't recommend anyone deal with him. You will be sorry. He never fixes anything that wasn't done right, nor does he come out when he promises. read more
