Bear and his crew are friendly, highly skilled, and most importantly, willing to take on and figure out creative solutions for any job no matter how challenging. The Fence Company installed a new 6' cedar privacy fence to enclose our entire back yard. Before starting this project, my yard had a mashup of many difference fence segments--some chain link, some composite, and a stretch of cedar fence recently put up by a neighbor. Bear's crew demolished and removed the chain link and composite, installed and tied the new cedar in with the neighbor's portion, and even came up with a creative "cutout" solution for a large tree growing on the property line. We have two very small dogs, and it was important that the fence be tight to the ground. Everything turned out being perfectly positioned and aligned, despite many elevation changes in the yard.
Where The Fence Company really shines is in gates. We wanted an automatic gate to span across our driveway. The problem is that on a Wauwatosa lot, there's very limited space between houses. A sliding gate wouldn't fit. Three other fence companies told me that they couldn't do it, or quoted ridiculously high prices. Bear proposed a solar-powered swing actuator and custom fabricated a steel support frame rigid enough to pivotally support the span from one side, across the entire driveway, without any sag. The gate hovers just above the driveway to keep our dogs in and is clad with cedar to match the rest of the fence. Because it's solar powered, there was no need to run electrical conduit under the driveway.
There is nothing better than hitting a button on my garage opener and seeing the gate swing open and closed. read more
