Alley fence and gate.

Everything was easy working with Rain City Fence. The bid process was friendly and easy, and the scheduling was great. They fit us in between a couple jobs. The guys building the fence worked really hard and did a great job and were very friendly to work with. I even changed the fence design on the weekend before they started to build the Fence portion and it was not a problem. I would definitely use rain city in the future. They cleaned up afterwards in the pouring rain.

Rain City Fence built part of the fence that collapsed and added gates and trellises. They provided not only excellent quality but aesthetically pleasing design. Rain City Fence manager understood the character of the existing house and the value of the matured vegetation. They put an extra effort to preserve our Listeria and Kiwi. The new fence was in an area of not so good soil, and they proposed solution to deal with. Upon completion everything was cleaned and left in a perfect condition.

This is the precious fence. Absolutely disaster!

These guys are great! We have a challenging landscape in our backyard and on the side of the house. Michael and Robert did an outstanding job! Nothing was unfinished and their attention to detail was amazing! I had a pleasant experience with Rain City Fence and highly recommend them! A++++

Was thoroughly impressed with Rain City Fence from start to finish. Caleb provided a very competitive bid for our fence, gate, and railing project. I had a few special requests as far as style of the fence - I wasn't looking for something that was 'cookie cutter'. He was willing to work with my requests in a way that made sure I got what I wanted and also made sure the price of the fence remained reasonable. He was super patient with all of my back-and-forth on the estimate. In the end, the proposal was exactly as I wanted and I felt really good about moving forward with their bid. When it came to install, Taylor and his crew were fantastic. I can be very picky about quality of workmanship and Taylor delivered. He kept me up-to-date about how the install was going and was sure to reach out when he needed my input. He was happy to change minor things we didn't like and it was clear that his first priority was making sure we were happy with the results. It never felt like he was rushing through our project to get on to the next (a problem I see with many other contractors). All-in-all, I'd highly recommend Rain City Fence. I just wish more contractors in this city would take their lead on quality and professionalism.

I am so glad I hired this company to install my new cedar fence. John was great at calling me and texting re scheduling/ work times. John and Matt worked together and got our fence built in 3 days--John even came alone on a weekend day to advance the project because he knew I was heading out of town. They arrived and got straight to work, and cleaned up every time at the end of their day. We had a few weird areas (spacing) and John was awesome at consulting us for our opinions, and telling us options--definitely knows his stuff, abd had answers to all my questions. A beautiful job. I need to add that I had yard waste in my yard from trimming shrubs so the new fence could be built; I hadn't gotten to bag it/ dump it pre-construction. When John and Matt finished our fence and got rid of all their waste, they took my yard waste as well--so kind, and not necessary or part of their contact, but it made my new fence and "new" yard look amazing. Please get a quote from Rain City and ask for these guys!

We came up with the design for the fence.

Caleb the owner was fantastic. I must say that Taylor and the man doing the work with him were even better. They listened, made sure they understood the work orders. Taylor kept in communication and was ahead of us in expectations. Taylor dealt with both my spouse and I. Our hero! Make sure to reach out to them for a quote. You won't be disappointed.

They built a very nice fence. They used a good quality wood and finished pretty quickly.

Those guys worked so hard removing the sod from my back yard. They were great. You know, everything…read moreis clay around here. There were a few areas where I didn't want plants disturbed and they totally honored that. The price was very fair and I'm so glad I hired them for my job. I now have a beautiful vegetable garden where raccoons once roamed and rolled my lawn searching for grubs. And, p.s. communication was excellent.

We hired Lee's General Landscaping to do a total yard cleanup + clear a bunch of plants and…read moreinvasive species from our perimeter, then add medium bark to suppress regrowth. Our assigned estimator Kimball came by for the initial walk through on July 3rd. We walked the property and I pointed out areas that we wanted cleared and bark added to suppress new growth. He left us with a video of him walking the property and shortly thereafter we had an estimate. My wife and I reviewed it, and wanted to see what it would cost to add landscaping fabric and rocks to some of the areas on the initial estimate. I responded to Kimball and he asked for a Google image of the home with the areas we wanted the work done marked. I then sent him the requested materials via a color coded aerial image. Kimball then asked to come out for a second look to make sure his measurements were correct. I was unable to accompany him for that walk, but he did do the checkup. We had a second open ended estimate shortly thereafter showing what the added rocks and fabric would run per square yard. We then decided on just doing bark (simplest install) - no landscaping fabric or rocks, but in all of the same areas marked on the aerial photo. To be doubly safe, I sent him a second aerial photo marking where we wanted the bark. Kimball's final estimate included a breakdown of what 4 yards, 6 yards, 8 yards or 10 yards bark would cost to procure and install. He told me that they would start at 6 yards with our property per his assessment, and if more were needed, they would request the additional amount day of the job. 7/25/26. The day of the job. Lee's arrived, I walked the grounds with the foreman and they got to work. Late in the day, I got a call from Kimball saying that the 6 cubic yards of bark he'd ordered wasn't enough to cover everything and that they needed another 2 cubic yards to the tune of several hundred dollars to complete all areas we wanted covered. I agreed to the up charge and Lee's crew completed the job. About 10 days went by, and our very nice looking yard started to sprout weeds all over the place. Naturally, I was expecting to see obvious weed growth here and there pop up, but this seemed like a lot. Regardless, I got to work pulling the weeds every 3-4 days or so, added some more bagged bark I purchased from Carpenitos here and there, and as I tackled each section of the yard on various days. Then, they exploded. By the 6th week, we were overrun and I couldn't keep up. I did some checking, and found that for successful weed suppression, you need at least 3-4 inches of bark coverage to prevent light from reaching the newly cleared topsoil. Lee's quote stated they they lay down "at least 2-3 inches" of bark - not the gold standard 3-4 inches, but fairly adequate. So, I got out there with a yardstick and started measuring. Low and behold, most of the front and back yard had as little as 1/2 an inch to 1.5 inches bark coverage. The areas I'd hit with bags as I weeded were barely pushing 2 inches, which means they too were initially VERY thin. I then photo'd the explosion of overgrowth and sent it to Lee's general email with a concerned message attached. Kimball replied to the message, but he refused to acknowledge any error had been made on his part or Lees in terms of the estimated coverage vs. completed work. Ultimately, he refused to remedy the situation without charging us thousands of dollars more. We went back and forth multiple times via email, and he would not budge - not even to cover labor only to rake back, and remove the overgrowth. He also refused to connect me to a senior manager or owner - eg: a 3rd party in the company whom could objectively review the situation, stating that he was a manager and partial owner and in charge of our estimate. We were charged over $3200.00 after tax for the job. It will likely cost us thousands of additional dollars to remedy the overgrowth resultant of Lee's error, and for which they refuse to acknowledge or accept responsibility. I'm personally kinda shocked considering their reputation and long standing place in the community. We used their services for lawn mowing and occasional yard work in Seattle many years ago without issue. My how times have changed.

Need quality gate/fence... do not hesitate, call Ron!…read more Ron and his team were FANtastic! Ron came out to the worksite and took a lot of time listening, answering my questions and researching when he didn't know the answer. He was kind when my 'imagination' for a rolling manual 'barn door' gate offering ideas and 'thumbs down' when not practical. Due to COVID, my job was delayed due to the many previously waiting customers' jobs being held off due to restrictions. Thankfully for me, my job was finished before the rainy winter season! Not only did I receive attentive friendly service, the job site was left clean and above my expectations. I would highly recommend this company and Ron for their work!

Very upsetting experience. See pictures of Alpine's "repair" of two leaning fence panels. I hired…read morethem even though they were the most expensive bid because of some of their reviews, their pole in post technique, and because I believed Ron Clayton and his representation that they could do the repair properly. The pictures show the repairs needed and the shockingly bad repairs. I am particularly concerned about the notching of the new support posts, two of which had a depth of about 25% while a third was reduced by what looks like about 50%. I cannot see how the strength of the posts are not severely undermined. The posts are at different heights, the panels appear crooked, and I do not think that the pole in post method promised was used. The fence looks ugly.
