Ron did three fence jobs for me in the past and I referred him for two other jobs, which he ultimately secured. I recently needed him for a pop-up job while I was in town but may have made a mistake by telling him it was a relatively small job. I texted him on a Tuesday morning, told him I was only in town for the remainder of the week and had a job for him. He responded that same morning, asked for the address and told me he would be there Thursday or Friday. When I hadn't heard from him by 12:44PM that Thursday, I texted him again, told him I hadn't used anyone but him for fence work, reminded him I never questioned his price, just paid, and I told him I really needed his help. There was no response. On 4:20PM that Friday I texted him and said "message received.' Like the reviewer before me, Ron had ghosted me, after telling me he would come by and do the job. The Shields Fence I knew was an honorably run company and their word meant something. That obviously has completely changed as Ron not only misrepresented his intentions with regard to the need I had, but because he strung me along for almost the entire week I was in town, I lost my opportunity to meet with a different fence company to do the job. read more

Texted Ron with pictures and info regarding the fencing I needed replaced. He responded with a price to do the job which i said would be fine. Only issue was gonna be getting the right color to match other existing fence that I had in the area..... He proceeded to ghost me and never got back to me. I DO NOT recommend ever doing business with Shields Fencing!.... Waste of time. This guy is very was inconsiderate read more

Thank you Ron and team for a job well done!! Your pricing was very reasonable and you were able to squeeze me into schedule to get me taken care of. I highly recommend your company. read more

Ron and his crew did an amazing job on our fence. They were fast, reasonable and professional. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a fence. They did a front fence around our house and down the side with a front gate/door and automatic gate for the driveway! Thanks again Ron! read more

Shields Fence Co. - Fences & Gates Near Me

Ron Shields and his skilled crew are true old school professionals. They know fencing and know how to get the job done right. My fence was tough because I asked Ron to "match" the style of another fence. Ron was totally receptive to this idea and communicative. Ron perfectly matched the new fence. My fence was completed on time and completed well. And, the bid on the fence was lower than many other firms. I recommend this company. Also, I see that some prior reviews said that Ron was not communicative and/or didn't stand behind his work. All I can say is that my experience was the complete opposite. He was a true upstanding businessman. I think they have fixed those communication issues. read more

Shields Fence Co. - Fences & Gates Near Me

If you want a HAZARDOUS fence installed then this is the company to go with. My HOA paid a good amount for a sh*t job. There are now MAJOR GAPS on all sides where my fence was previously flush on all sides and this company left my backyard/patio a mess. Nails, dust, wires, and pieces of my old fence... all just left there. I honestly didn't even know they were done because I thought there was still work to be done to fill in the gaps and clean up the mess. To be fair, the president of the HOA contacted Ron (to pay more) to fix the gaps, but the company is too busy. I'm happy they are busy because they will NEVER ever ever get my business again. I'm wildly confused with why we should even have to pay to have anything FIXED when they literally JUST FINISHED. If I had known the fence would look worse after being replaced, then I would have rather just kept the old one. Luckily I don't have any kids on property, but I will need a fix before friends or relatives with kids come over because my entire leg can fit down the gap on one side and the other side is only a few inches, but still SO UGLY. NOT RECOMMENDED. read more

I had this company put my pool fence in when we moved in. The entire point of a pool fence is to make it safe for kids to be able to play outside and not have risk of anyone getting in the pool area. There are 2 massive gaps that kids can get in. It's just really poorly designed and executed. Beyond that - the initial quote I got from Ron (the owner) was for $2200. Then he submitted a contract at $2600. When I called him about it he said, "how about we split the difference?" Between the two numbers that you gave me? Bad business. The fence hinge broke in the first year (no longer auto-closes) and when I reached out multiple times to try and have it fixed I was never responded to. Just recently our neighbor called Ron to come give a quote and when I saw him walking the property to measure for the quote I asked him, hoping to give him another chance, to also provide a quote for us to replace the fence on the other side of our property. He took measurements, said he'd have a quote by the end of the week... and never followed through. Basically, it just not a good idea to do business with this company. Others provide fair prices and excellent service. read more

Would not recommend them as they do not stand behind their work. Have a gate post that now makes the gate almost impossible to use. Contacted Ron twice and received reply that he would contact me the next week to schedule visit to check it out and fix. Both times never heard back. The fence was installed 10 yrs ago. Problem with the gate surfaced within a couple of years. Not admitting that the post was settling due to poor installation, adjustments were able to make it usable. Requested help a couple of years ago, got same response as now -will be out next week only never to hear back from him to schedule. If you go with Shields fence, don't expect them to stand behind their work. read more

We are very happy with the work that Ron and the team did; we reached out to several different fence companies but we selected Ron based on his willingness to do the job based on our vision rather than trying to match previous jobs. He was very courteous, worked efficiently, and we've been impressed with how well he was able to match the new fence to the style of existing fencing. Would definitely consider using him again! read more

I had an excellent experience with Ron and his whole crew. They came out to give me a quote & answer all my questions. I asked about the differences between choice of fence, longevity and up keep. Ron was able to educate me on everything I needed to know. We reviewed styles and material, verse what would be cost effective. The crew accommodate my availability and worked expeditiously. In all total, the replacement of my entire fence and the cleanup took less than 4 days (this includes a rain delay). I can not be happier to have a solid backyard for my home and my family. read more

These guys did exactly what I was looking for. Just a cheap and easy repair on an old knocked over fence. The work looks solid and clean. They took the time to spray paint the posts caps. Attention to detail is great! Boyd did an awesome job. Looking forward to working with these guys again. Thank you gents! read more

From the onsite review the job to the wrap-up, Ron Shields and his crew were amazing! Not only was his price competitive, but his keen eye saw that he could save work/time/money on some existing posts. Exactly the kind of insight I was looking for! He also offered a couple of useful suggestions that made perfect sense which we took to heart. The job was completed in a week! It looks good, the build solid and the price was right! I would most highly recommend the Shields fence company for your fencing project! read more

We were looking for an artisan fence builder for our new home. Someone that understood what we were looking for and could deliver what we expected. I saw the photos of Ron's previous jobs and knew we needed to include him in the bidding process. He showed up on time and listened carefully as I explained what we needed. He provided the quote quickly and was very responsive when we had questions. While his bid wasn't the least expensive, I knew it would be worth the extra expense to hire someone with the experience and knowledge we were looking for. Before the job started he brought samples of the lumber and stain and walked the job with us to make sure we knew what the job entailed. Our home is over 50 years old and the area where the fence was to be built had some old growth that we didn't want to lose. Ron made some minor adjustments and was able to work around the trees that were important to us. As the fence was being built I was impressed with how clean he worked and the attention to detail he paid. The fence was completed on schedule and we could not be happier with the result. The photos speak for themselves. We have additional work to be done and we won't hesitate to rehire him for our next project. The photos speak for themselves. read more

Fantastic. We love our new fence. We needed a new fence because of a pool we were putting in, so don't mind the construction in the photos. We have 3/4 acre on a tiered/steep slope which was complicated for installation of a wood fence and put a black iron fence down a sloped driveway and around a small food garden. Ron Shields is an honorable business person. Our timeline kept moving because of pool build delays and he was flexible to work around the pool schedule. Ron was laser focused on getting our fence compliant with pool permit requirements, kept track of the permit check dates and came up with the a quick solution (black fence over wall in picture) when the inspector required it; both our pool builder and landscaper were stumped by the problem. Ron runs a solid schedule and is great at communicating each step. He stayed in communication with me so the fence team could come as soon as the pool construction allowed. His team was considerate of our neighbors and 1 neighbor even decided to do the other side of their yard after talking to Ron. Two guys came to remove the previous fences. The whole crew showed up on fence post days and like a machine put in as many posts as possible in 1.5 days. Then the following days 2 guys (Boyd and Mo) completed the install. Our large job took nearly 2.5 weeks, but they told me that most 'big jobs' are done in 4 days. Everyone that came into our yard was respectful, friendly, clean (compared to all of the other construction crews that have come onsite) and generally pleasant to deal with. We had the hiccup of the pool inspection change (extra black fence) and modified a couple things once we built out (added a walk through gate & realized that we needed 2 additional wood panels to create privacy for our neighbors on an expanded driveway). The team was very accommodating of these changes and we paid a fair price for the modifications. Paying was simple too... Gave checks for specific amounts as work was completed. This would not have seemed like a big deal before, but after working with a couple other vendors during this pool building experience a simple payment process was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend Shields Fence Co. read more

The guys at Shields showed up, did what they promised, and built the fence we asked for.

They came out this week and fixed the issues so everything looks like new again. read more

I highly recommend this company. Ron, David and his team did a terrific job on our new fence! They were on time, courteous and did quality work, and reasonably priced. David had some great suggestions and the communication with him and his team was right on. We are very happy with our new fence and very happy we chose Shield Fence Co. read more

This is not a review based on pricing nor installation, strictly on communication. I was no showed 2 days in a row. 1st day, I text 30 minutes after scheduled arrival time, 430pm, and was informed that they were in north county and didn't see me on the scheduled (it was confirmed the week prior via email), they said they would be able to stop by the following day - ok, things happen, I agreed to the next day. 2nd day, waited around all day until 530pm and send a text asking if anyone was going to be showing up, I received a message back stating that they were sick and not going to be able to make it. A simple text message would have been sufficient. Communication is key. read more

I made an appointment for a different day. Got a call that Boyd was in my area. Wanted o come by give me a price for the repairs. The fence got fixed that afternoon. Great job! Now I am not fighting with me gate and fence. read more

Ron and David were very nice and they did a great job. Very professional and on time.

Had a great experience with Shields. The fence came out great, and Ron was very competitive with his bid. Highly recommended. For a little more detail: Ron is very friendly and professional. He spent significantly more time with me than the other contractors that bid. He informed me of a couple of problems in the yard, and how he would fix them. Ron also had a significantly better bid than the other contractors (he beat one almost by half). I also checked with the materials vendor -- he came highly recommended, and I compared his bid against material cost -- it was very competitive. He put in three solid - back to back - days of work, and his entire crew was very courteous. Everything was on time, and done as he said it would be done. The fence actually came out better than we imagined. It looks great and is perfectly plumb. Our neighbors are actually stopping by to tell us how nice it looks. Our fence was custom -- and it came out exactly as we asked. We could not be happier. Finally, Ron went out of his way multiple time to help us. He helped broker the deal with a difficult neighbor. He rebuilt the top of my crumbling retaining wall AND transported about a ton of bricks for free (Home Depot would charge about $80 for the delivery). He chipped away an old tree stump that the last contractor actually went around (so now the fence is true to the property line) for free. When we told him we had a cat, he took the extra time to add an extra bottom slat where the yard slopes -- also for free. As a new home owner that bought a fixer-upper, this has been the best experience I've had with a contractor. read more

Thank you to Ron Shields and his crew at Shields Fence Co! Seriously, my fence is gorgeous! Their custom fence has transformed our house in less than 3 days!

My experience was very positive. I used Shield's Fence Company recently to replace my common fence with my neighbor, which was about 96'. The fence was completely knocked over due to the wind and storms we had in February. They completed the fence based on my HOA specifications. The price was reasonable and included hauling the old fence away. The lead foreman, Dave was very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend their services. read more

Ron Shields of Shields Fence Company just completed a vinyl privacy fence in my front yard.

I am so happy I called Ron as they completed the job in one day and did an excellent job! They were all friendly, courteous, polite, and quite amusing as anyone could tell they loved their job and enjoyed each other's company. I would highly recommend Shields Fence Company to anyone.

Contacted company to see if i could get an estimate on some gate installations. Company responded that they're booked without even giving me an opportunity to even schedule a date. Guess my project was too small for this company. I never specified a date, so how can you be booked?? read more

I wish there were half star increments because I would give Ron and his team a 4.5 out of 5. I rounded down instead of up. I have used some of the bigger names and companies at other properties in the past and their work was terrible, particularly around gates and anything other than a plain vanilla fence (at top prices). In this case we had a vision for a very decorative fence with a gate that would be used multiple times daily as the primary ingress/egress from the property so construction of a top quality gate was what led me to Ron. Ron initially impressed me with his knowledge and recommendations around how the fence and gate should be constructed. While not the least expensive, I trusted that the materials he proposed would in fact be superior to the other quotes. He was right. Honestly, I was a bit frustrated at times with the scheduling and timeline. Of course I would have preferred a tighter schedule, but when you hire an artisan/craftsman/family business that's what you get. They are busy with other jobs (many bigger than mine I'm sure). And they are busy because they are good. Ron was always communicative and they always came when they said they would come. The final product is terrific. You can put a level on any board and it is level. The steel posts in concrete (black powder coated) look great and provide the stability needed. The hand stained boards look beautiful and we constantly get compliments on how beautiful the fence looks. I do believe I have a superior product at a very fair price and would use them again. read more

We highly recommend Shields Fence Co. The fence company we originally scheduled couldn't start our project because they were overbooked. We needed a new fence ASAP and contacted a handful of companies hoping to find one that could fit us in their schedule. Ron came out next day and gave a quote on the spot. He fit us in the schedule no problem, was knowledgeable, honest, and did not try to price gouge us as did many other companies. His team built an amazing fence and two custom gates. They were polite and efficient and we are very happy. read more

After using Ron Shields Fencing twice, i must update my review. Some of the panels (upper slats) are crooked. I called and Ron said it would be an easy fix. He then never again answered my calls, texts, etc. so we could schedule an appointment. We are now moving back into the house which had been a rental. Ron has one more chance to make right. No questions asked. I just want it to be the way it is supposed to be. It's too bad because the house he first did for us, when it was a Rental, my son now wants vinyl. So unless he backs up his work, he will not be getting the job. read more

Sorry Shields Fence, Co.. Since you did not show up for your scheduled appointment for a quote, I ended up giving over 320 linear ft of fencing in my home to your competitor GFC Fence, Inc who did a fabulous job at a very reasonable cost and my front yard and backyard fence is beautiful. You could have made thousands of dollars if you showed up for the scheduled appointment for a quote. read more

Ok job. I got what I paid for. Small job so communication wasn't a priority for the contractor. Done in one day. Clean up wasn't great. We needed a new gate, so we have a gate. We will use another company for finish work when the whole project is done so it looks nicer. read more

Great experience having Ron and his team build our fence! He was very helpful in discussing options and ideas with us, and was on time to get the job started. His entire crew was English speaking, easy to coordinate with on questions and concerns, and I would highly recommend his services. Very happy with our new fence and gates! read more
