They confirmed a time window of 8-9 am and sent reminders before the work day. True to their word, they arrived right at 8 am. The fence is now standing straight and looks as good as new. I'm really glad I chose FCR and would highly recommend them!

Scheduling was easy, and they arrived right on time. Ben came with his crew, introduced everyone, and they got straight to work. They removed the old fence and installed the new one efficiently. 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.

We had a great experience with IVS Fence & Ironworks, a family business that takes real pride in…read moreits work. Our project spanned several months and included a wrought iron fence with concrete/stucco pillars, an automated sliding driveway gate, and a pedestrian gate. It was a complex job with four other subcontractors involved across design, electrical, landscaping, and stucco finishing. Ignacio, the owner, was always available by phone or text and willing to talk through ideas with us. He also would send pictures during fabrication to ensure we were aligned on design details. He was upfront about change orders, and whenever something wasn't quite right, he did his best to make it right. That kind of communication and accountability isn't something you get with every contractor. Our fence sits on a tricky slope, and Ignacio really sweated the details. He had to build the driveway gate just right and pour the concrete track at precisely the correct angle to match--and he totally nailed it. His team brought the heavy gate out several times to ensure it stayed plumb throughout its travel along the slope. He put a lot of thought into engineering something that would last--in fact, I had to talk him down from a few ideas for making the gate even sturdier! His team was respectful, friendly, and did great work. They also kept the job site clean at the end of each day, which we appreciated throughout a long project. I'd highly recommend IVS to anyone looking for thoughtful craftsmanship and a contractor who stands behind his work.

I requested a quote from IVS for a large fence project and it was a bit difficult to iron out the…read moredetails with IVS. Ignacio, who came for the site visit and identified himself as the owner, was very easy to communicate with both in person and over the phone. However, Jackie, (not clear to me if she's the co-owner or Ignacio's wife) finalizes pricing and pretty much runs the show. For our project, we had picked IVS to do the work, but the price kept increasing by thousands of dollars. I asked to speak with Ignacio since these changes were inconsistent with what I discussed with him and put them week above our other quotes, but Jackie said that's not necessary since she decides the pricing. They also charge tax on materials, which no other fencers do (since they're already paying tax to Home Depot, etc.). These business practices felt disingenuous to me and like bait and switch. I've had issues in the past with businesses like this that once the work begins they'll change order you again and ask for more money. So we did not use them. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range and IVS was around $12K. All were licensed and bonded. We went with the lowest quote and are extremely happy with our fence.

Our second-story elevated deck needed a major repair. When we spoke to a few other companies, they all said that we needed a full rebuild. But not Dan. He assessed the work carefully, examined the drawings, and said he could do the repair. He was fair and transparent with the cost and clear about the scope of work. When the job began, Dan and his team, Ksen and Chris, were thoughtful and efficient with their approach. They made lots of progress quickly, and explained each step in detail. Dan really went above and beyond helping me navigate the inspection process. We wanted to make a few changes from the original drawings that required a revision. Dan worked with our architect, handled the inspectors, and helped get our deck approved and permitted. He was careful and detailed, communicated well throughout the whole process, and the work was top tier. I highly recommend Craftsman Decks. Elite work, trustworthy and reliable, fair and transparent, and will go the extra mile. Give them all the stars!

My indoor stair railing was not up to code and had large gaps between the rails (over 5 inches of…read morespace), and with a little one on the way, I needed to fix the issue. Richard was quick to respond via email and most of the questions could be answered via email and sending photos, then a phone call for follow ups and to schedule the appointments to remove the railing and reinstall it. I was a little nervous because the job was so small that Richard didn't think he needed to visit the site to confirm prices or the work needed, but decided to move forward since he had a very competitive and reasonable quote compared to others (cheaper than another company by a significant amount). Scheduled the work and Richard's team came out and removed the railing very quickly and carefully, cleaning up any messes. My household was without a railing on the stairs for a week, then the workers arrived to reinstall. It took 3 hours or so to install it, and they were careful and did good work, cleaning up as always. The railing looks amazing. They blasted off the old paint and replaced it with what appears to be a matte powder coating that matched the same white we had before and looks great. The bars they used to fill the gaps look identical to the others, so the entire railings look brand new and complete. Richard and his team even installed a horizontal safety bar by request because the gap between the floor and railing was too tall. I'm very pleased. The railings feel sturdy and look great; in fact, the railings look better than before and are now much safer. I would do business with Mr. Handrail again and highly recommend them!

We get strong winds that can blow a weave or a wig off a person's head, and it is hotter then hot in the summers reaching past 100 degrees, and when it rains, its nice to smell the rain and see it coming down. Now it is July 2026, and the fencing is 26 years and 2 months old. You can't tell me (as I will attach photos, that this fencing didn't need to be done.....because it did. We had gotten a bid from a neighbor who lived down and around the corner from us, as his father owns a fencing company. We had asked him and his gf to provide us a quote a LONG while back and that quote was pratically another TRUCK payment and then some. So we held off. Then one windy day, on 12/14/2024, the wind blew our fence over and the shared property line fence over. The tenant living next door in the little shack named Pablo, came to help us put the fencing back up. He even knew and said it was just a temporary fix until the next wind came. Since then the fence has fallen over 3 more times to 2026. Then on yet another windy day, my tarp flew over the fence into my neighbor's backyard - but this neighbor's home lives in Steven S. Stroud, and so my husband and I walked over to that neighbor's house to see about getting my tarp back from her backyard. We knocked and no one was home. So we left her a note introducing ourselves and when she got come from she messaged us and we went over to go grab it. She had my husband get the tarp because her backyard slants up and she wasn't about to climb the steep hill. So while standing there and Johnny's retrieving the tarp, I had asked her did she use to do her fencing. She too, told me about the neighbor who's dad owns the fencing company, and she also said that when she asked him for a quote, his quote he gave her was INSANE! So with some research, she then found A&J Fencing. This is where I called them and asked for a quote. Scott Knolbloch came and gave me a quote. Because I share property line with two other neighbors, he informed me about the 30-Day Good Neighbor Law. Later that night, I got the quote from Scott regarding the fencing that was much needed which was 26 years old, falling over 4 times, due to rotted and deteriorating wood, with nails, screws and staples protruding through onto my side from the neighbors side where they tried to repair the fencing themselves. The quote was sooooo reasonable, I had to relook at it twice!! Nutshell, we ended up proceeding with the quote provided from Scott with A&J Fencing. We were able to get both neighbors onboard with paying their half of the fencing after provided and sending out Certified 30-Day Good Neighbor Law Letter. We are soooo pleased with the work. Rigo and his crew showed up at 8am on Thursday, July 16, 2026. Knocked on my door and I gave the OK to begin. They immediately started unloading the needed and necessary tools, and man o man.....they made taking down the fence soooo easy!!! Next came the digging and before I knew it -- the posts were being put up.....followed by the redwood wood panels. The fencing was done in 5 hours! (They took a lunch break too!). Overall..... A HUGE SHOUT OUT for coming to my property and providing me an AMAZING AND REASONABLE QUOTE...... A HUGE SHOUT OUT to Rigo and his crew for tearing down and putting up my fencing, my double iron gate and my single gate. Yall ROCK!! A HUGE SHOUT OUT to Vanessa who I wrote my check too. She was soooo professional and sweet! A HUGE SHOUT OUT to Andrea, to hearing me rant about other stuff (she knows ;) ) and helping me with keeping me aboard on all neighbors following though with their halves of payment! Look at my beautiful fence! We love it! Thank you A&J Fencing.
