Julia P.

Steve and his team replaced 177 ft of new fencing for me. He showed up when he said he would and always keep me in the loop on what was going on. This job had to be coordinated with two different apartment owners and Steve stepped in when I was having a problem with one of them. THANK YOU Steve. The job was completed on schedule and I have no hesitation in recommending Steve to others. In fact, I have already shared his info with family and friends.

The worst business to use for fences. I went to the California State Licensing Board to get a partial refund for the bad fence he installed. All the time he kept saying it was up to the CSLB standards. I've waited a year and finally received the payment. Beware he lives on the east coast so if/when you do have problems you won't ever see him again. He blames others for his work and keeps saying he's got almost 20 years of experience doing this type of work. I would be embarrassed if I did this after 20 years... Now I have to find someone to repair/replace this fence and no one will touch it. As you can see in the photos he couldn't be bothered to put the top rails on the fence posts.

Everything was black/new when installed but NOTHING is flush, squared and screws offset &/or not fully attached!

Where to begin... Wanting sections facing the street to be replaced with identical design and being told, "they don't cut wood like that any more..."? Puddle of cement in the middle of the backyard? Had to break that up and rake it up. "Installing" gate latch components so that when you push on the release, the whole [unsecured] latch release just slides out? I had to fix that myself, too. Now that I think of it, I recall that he returned from _______ and showed me the locking "hardware" for the fence. It should have been a clue to me that he'd obviously picked the cheapest bits he could get. I had to decline them and ask that he get something more substantial. Something that could be LOCKED and that wouldn't give way if the wind blew too hard. I mainly employed him to replace a good neighbor fence, but within DAYS of completion, I discovered 12+ newly installed boards had split, big-time; 1"-2" WIDE splits running ranging up to 12" LONG! **[Insert your expletive of choice here]** I called him about this and instead of offering to stop by, he said "That isn't possible." When I implored him to come and review this issue, he insisted that I send him photos first. THEN he came by. "Huh... that's not supposed to happen." [Ya think?!!!] He ended up replacing them but still missed some smaller fence pieces even though I'd marked them. So you see, I've really been forgiving with several issues. I've TRIED to make them work...but now? Now, I HAVE to replace his "gate"?!!?!!! The photos I took today, 10/2/18, speak for themselves, folks. Angles not set flush with wood. Screws inserted at awkward, indirect angles. I should have reviewed it closer when done but I was so upset about the "split rail fence" that I didn't order that I overlooked the gate fiasco altogether. Every year since it was put in (3-4 years ago?) I've had to enlarge the latch area for clearance of the locking bolt and hollow out/deepen the security latch slot because of increasing sag. I have to force it open/closed several times until the base of the gate was "sanded" by the concrete enough to force open...it's THAT bad. Ignore the rust as that's common for 3-4 year old outdoor hardware exposed to all the rain fall in this lush region... right? Maybe it's me....but it takes more than "showing up when he said he would" to put those YELP STARS up there. I read the other reviews here and have to wonder...where was MY "quality work?" Where is MY "quality materials?" He who is faithful in small things is faithful in larger things. I really TRIED to just let this all go but now that I cannot even open the gate he built/installed...I'm...upset. I'm tired of sawing, sanding, planing and tweaking the gate I paid several hundreds of dollars for, just to get it to open/close! I must now PAY to UNDO what this guy did. CRAP!

Straight and true!

Kingdom Gates and Fences was really easy and great to work with! A storm blew down a shared fence…read morewhile I was out of town. I looked up local fence repair on Yelp and filled out the quote form on their website. Within minutes I got a call from them! (I must have gotten very lucky with my timing. Please don't expect unrealistic instant replies every time.) They were available to go out there that day to take a look and give me an estimate. Being a shared fence we coordinated with my neighbor. Kingdom is very professional. They had a formal agreement, an itemized invoice, and you can pay through Intuit Quickbooks online. You pay a 10% deposit before the start and the rest at the end of the project. Be aware there is a 3% charge for using card. But you can use ACH to avoid it. They also split the invoice between my neighbor and I. The day of the project start they recommended using steel posts instead of wooden posts due to the weight of the panels. No additional charge. They even took the time to paint the steel posts on my side black to match the panels! I called on Wednesday and by Saturday the fence was repaired! Thank you Kingdom Gates and Fences!

David was the estimator and main contact person while Zerafin and his team did the tear down, haul away and construction. 40 feet of new redwood fence and an added gate. I opted for the steel posts upgrade over the pressure treated 4x4 wood posts as it literally was a small price to pay for even longer term reliability. Thank you! Phenomenal experience.

Great guy, great fence. Quality work…read more I will say there are a few errors but it's not a big deal. I've been reading a lot of reviews on people slamming him do some mistakes. It's a wood fence. Even if it's built 100% perfectly it won't stay 100% perfect. Changes in the earth and wood play a huge factor. The fact is he builds great long lasting fences, and if you knew anything about fences you should build it yourself if you are going to complain about little mistakes. He really does quality work. My only real criticism would be the original quote. (Which really was my mistake for not clarifying) but I didn't realize the gates and the actual fence were separated on the quote. I wish there would have been a total at the bottom. So it ended up being a little more than I thought. BUT like I said that was my fault for not clarifying, and I most likely would have had him do the fence anyway because I didn't wanna do it. Also if you are in a rush then don't hire ANY contractor. They have a lot of clients they are working for at once. This is how it works. You MUST have patience. All in all it was a great experience with Fence King, he really does quality work. I see fences up around town from 10-15 years ago that are still standing strong. That's what you pay a little extra for. Quality Thank you fence king!

Kirk, This isn't a…read morefake review. On the contrary, it's a true account of my experience with you. You're asking for a receipt? Take a look at my review again. You left so many times, had plywood trying to block the entrance for a week because your person making the skeleton gate apparently couldn't work. You had two ex-cons sitting around doing nothing while you were gone. You then fired them because they didn't know anything. Then, as luck would have it, you finally finished weeks past the original date, yet the gate wasn't fit properly and had to come back. Your shitty attitude for asking you to fix the noisy gate you just charged us for was really a nice touch. And yes, you asked for cash the DAY you came to collect. The IRS has you on their radar. It took so long for this reply because you're a business I'd like to forget. Good luck.

After searching for several months for someone to build two modest sized fences & gates, we were…read moreclose to giving up. Everyone I contacted was either too busy or said our job wasn't worth their time. Our yards were in the process of being completely redone, so I decided to wait until the landscapers were done to try again. And this time, I found Best Wood Fences. I reached Ary Barragan by phone one afternoon and was immediately impressed with his professionalism. I sent him some photos and approximate measurements and later that day he sent an estimate, which was very reasonable. He said he could start the following week and promised to come by a few days later to see the site in person, even though we are about 30 minutes away. Two days later, he stopped by and was just as professional in person as he was on the phone. Over the next 3-4 days, we wanted to change the fence's design and each time he happily and quickly provided a revised estimate so that there would be no surprises. He started and finished the job as promised. The quality is impeccable and the finished product is the cherry on top of our new yard. We're in real estate and I told Ary that I would happily recommend him to clients & friends. I wish I would have found him when I started my search, shortly after the cement contractor removed our old fence. Ary is definitely worthy of all 5 Stars. I wish other contractors treated their craft and their customers with the same professionalism and care.

Ary was very prompt. He gave me the best price for the repair we needed and did great work. Highly…read morerecommend Best Wood Fences.

G & G's estimator, Ben, was quick in scheduling a visit to quote the project, for which we specified that we wanted heart redwood.

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.
