I apologize for this review. Apparently the Fence builders did not, in fact, work for Payless Fence. read more

Payless Fence - Almost finished! - Fences & Gates Near Me

Absolute. Nightmare. I got 5 estimates on a complete fence replacement. Ended up choosing Payless because Ben seemed very personable and had good Google reviews... I learned pretty quickly that I had been duped, and not to always trust Google reviews. There were multiple changes to the start date. Originally 4/21, then 4/23, then 4/28, then 4/30, then 5/5. Communication was poor at best - mostly, it was only when I reached out to him that I learned it was delayed yet again. He offered stump removal as a service for $150/hr. He showed up with a small grinder that was in no way adequate for the large stumps and two day laborers who were in no way skilled to do it. Grinder kept smoking and cutting out, and the guys were trying, but could only shave off parts of the stumps little by little. Ben had left, so I called him and told him to have them stop. He came back and was extremely agitated and argumentative. I asked him to calm down and said we needed to be able to have a normal conversation, but he wouldn't... Why would he bring the wrong equipment and guys who didn't know what they were doing? "That's all Home Depot had," and yelled, "I'm a FENCE guy, NOT a stump grinder guy!" His behavior made me extremely uncomfortable... So much so that I asked if I could just pay him for the one section of fence he took down and cancel the contract. He sneered, "Go ahead and cancel it, but you're not getting your deposit back." Mind you, not one bit of material had been delivered at this point, even though he had said he'd be bringing it and never did... Later, I received a text demanding $225 for the grinder rental before he would proceed with any work. I paid it (regrettably) -- I just wanted him to finish the work and be done... I paid to have the stumps ground by Davey Tree Service. Once he resumed (3 days later) he arrived far later in the day than he said he would - this would prove to be an ongoing issue. There was no fence between me and my neighbors, and I asked him to let me know when he'd be coming so they could keep their dog inside - he didn't do that, either... All of the delays resulted in my having to take additional days off work and cancel a planned vacation. Days later, I finally had ONE section of fence done. The day he was to start on another section, he texted me to say he was "Still figuring out post situation. Going have to go a different route and dig and set 10 ft posts." When I questioned this, as the contract stated that 12 foot posts would be used, he replied, "Also I have to weld up 2 more feet onto 10 ft posts since we are going according to contract, because I'm not spending what they're asking for them." Total breach of contract!! What he did with the $9,000 I gave him, I'll never know... It sure wasn't used to buy materials for my fencing. At this point, I'd had enough - told him not to come back until he heard from me. I needed to speak with my attorney, for sure... I also started doing a bit more digging into Payless Fence (I SHOULD have done this before I hired him and gave him a ton of money - kicking myself for this everyday...) His website had been taken down (he had one when I hired him,) he has NO business license and his LLC is delinquent. Wondering if he's gone out of business, left town, or ??? The old fencing had just been piled up in the alley behind my neighbor's. I asked when he'd be taking it away, heard nothing, texted him back 3 days later, and he said he'd be coming to get it that weekend. He never did. So I called 1-800-GOTJUNK -- $980 to have it hauled away. AND - no pressure-treated rot board on the one section he did, as in the contract. AND he didn't install a gate to replace the old one he tore down, which resulted in a clear opening from the street into the backyard. So I had to hire someone to build and install a temporary gate immediately for security purposes. I'm now in a credit card dispute through my credit union, have sent him a demand letter for what he owes me, and will pursue it in Small Claims Court if there is no resolution. I will update here. read more

Ben and Lisa did a fantastic job. I'm really happy with the work they did especially since they use the very best of materials. As you can see by their picture in front of the finished work it is sturdy and really looks good. This will serve my purpose of keeping my mated pair of boxer dogs safe. Should this review come on as in San Francisco it is a mistake because I'm here in Lakewood, Colorado and that is where this picture of Ben & Lisa in front of their finished work is taken on 18 July 2024. read more

The fence around the backyard was rotting to the ground but we were wary of taking on another large project and the process of finding the right contractor. Ben at Payless Fence Co. turned out to be the right contractor. The wrong ones ignored us or forgot to show up for scheduled appointments. Ben returned my call within five minutes and was ten minutes early for the estimate. He locked in the agreed price and was very thorough in explaining the job. We scheduled for the week of Christmas. Instead of a crew dropped off by a "polo shirt and khakis" salesman, Ben and Lisa arrived on Monday afternoon to start work. Throughout the week, Ben kept us up to date on the progress. By Saturday afternoon, we were ready for the final inspection. The construction was solid and the fence looked amazing. Ben thoroughly addressed our questions and advised us on ongoing maintenance before he and Lisa packed up. When the next big project comes up, Payless Fence Co. gives us hope that there are quality contractors able to do the job right. read more

We had originally hired Ben & his team to install a privacy between us & our neighbor and replace some existing gates. However, once the fence was installed, it looked so awesome we hired him to replace our existing privacy fence too. Ben and his team are very respectful, kind and hardworking, not to mention affordable. I highly recommend them! read more

Payless Fence - My dog barking at the new fence - Fences & Gates Near Me

Ben did a great job with some custom fencing we required to separate our yard into sections and create a privacy screen from our neighbors. He was very responsive and easy to work with when changes were required. When he had to leave to get material or do an estimate elsewhere, he always let me know what was up and when he would return. He even was affectionate with my silly dogs who always think people are there to play with them. We are happy with our fencing and would use Ben/Payless again in the future. read more

Ben's work is quality and he cares about his customers. What I have seen is large companies can compete a job in record time with large crews, but beware the quality is not what payless fencing is offering, he specializes in fencing and customer service plus his prices are reasonable. You cant go wrong with Payless Fencing. read more

Ben & his crew are such an incredibly hard working men. He knows the ins&outs of everything, helped me choose exactly what I wanted & got it built fast. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Great communication! Showed up on time and got the worked completed quickly! I highly recommend them! Thank you!

I called this company for a quote to fence my front yard which is about 129 feet. It is a simple 32" fence that was to be installed with a small gate. The owner called me and indicated it would be over $5,000.00, which was about $2,000.00 more than the other bids I received. The owner gave me the quote about 30 seconds into the call without previewing the property. I found that to be unprofessional and uncaring. The owner also said that if I paid less for the job the work work be shoddy. The other two companies that I called came to my home, and offered professional advice and even suggestions on how to move the sprinklers so that the fence can be installed with the appropriate setback. I hired one of those companies. Please be careful with Payless Fence and do not be fooled by the name. I think the name of this company should be Pay More Fence. read more

Absolutely wonderful! Paylessfence was referred to us by a friend. We love our new fence. Ben and his staff were extremely professional. He was 10% cheaper than other fence companies- even the ones who say they are the best and cheapest. He did cedar which is the most durable. It's beautiful! They are Very honest, reliable and trustworthy. We will not use any other fence company again. read more

Ben, the owner, is extremely responsive to all inquiries. He was able to come out same day to check out my project and give me a bid. All work was done in a timely fashion and done professionally. He's straight forward with you and is very knowledge. Would absolutely recommend this company for future projects. Quality and customer service is unmatched. read more

We used Payless Fence Co for a portion of our back 6' fence and an exterior front fence and could not be happier with the quality for the cost. Ben and team were so approachable and followed up during the estimate process. We felt like they really wanted to do the work. We got various quotes and Payless Fence Co was the best for the quality of work promised. And did they ever follow through on their promise! We received a true customized fence and we were consulted with decisions along the way. A few of my favorite thing about Payless Fence... (1) whenever issues arose (apparently our ground was extremely hard when they dug the holes and it took extra time and a lot of effort) they did not complain to us about the issues or say these unaccounted for issues would cost us more money (2) all the posts had ample cement and I am confident our fence will hold up for many years to come (3) the owner was on site working the entire time. He really does value quality and you can tell in our end product. We have had many people come and comment on our new fence, it looks that great! I wish all home contractors ran a business the way Ben does from Payless Fence Co. We highly recommend them! read more

Ben and Armani were absolutely amazing! They were very professional and hardworking. They were even able to start and finish early! I have a daughter that is very chatty and they were so awesome with her too. Ben answered any questions I had and made sure I was 100% happy with the job. I would recommend Payless Fence to everyone!! read more

If you're into good customer-service along with good work....give Ben a call!! I had a few fence/gate repairs for a rental property I have. My time is valuable and I believe in doing business with people/companies that are communicative and follow through. I had another company lined up for the work and they "went dark". I came across Payless Fence and it seemed that the reviews noted good customer service. Ben and Payless Fence lived up to the great reviews. He was very communicative and met his bid (he didn't go over). I will do business with Ben again and will also give out his name to friends/family/colleagues. He's not the cheapest....but who the heck wants that?! You get what you pay for! His work is priced very fair and what makes it worth every dollar is that he lives to his word and will communicate with you if something comes up. Quality work, great communication and very fair pricing are all wins in my book!! Thank you Ben and team! read more
