They installed a new fence and gates, stained my existing fence, and completed everything on time, at a very reasonable price, and with excellent workmanship. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations. After the installation, I asked if they could come back to reinstall my string lights, since they couldn't be put up immediately because the stain was still drying. They returned promptly and took care of it without any hassle, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Philmar Fence Contractor to anyone looking for high-quality fence installation or staining services.

Highly Recommend Sierra Fence!…read more We recently worked with Sierra Fence to install a new fence at our home, and they were fantastic from start to finish. Christian and his crew were professional, efficient, and delivered high‑quality work that really upgraded the look and privacy of our property. Communication was easy, the pricing was fair, and the craftsmanship shows in every detail. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and the finished product speaks for itself. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy fence company, I highly recommend Sierra Fence. We couldn't be happier with the results!

We needed to move it to the property line, but not an easy job. It's on a hill, with a lot of rocks. Prestige was great to work with. Nice guys who did a fabulous job. I had several bids and their's was very fair. The did great metal work, painted the new fence to match up with the existing fence, cleaned everything up, were on schedule and were a pleasure to have around. They also added two extra pieces, so the fence would go to the ground and didn't charge us. I'd hire this company again in a heartbeat and it bothers me that somebody gave them a bad review when they never even worked with them.

Since I had a great previous experience with Big Brown Fence Installers, I reached out to Aaron for his help. He and his team took care of the job and positively responded to any concerns my neighbor had. While working on that job, Aaron didn't have to, but he pointed out some concerns that he had with the ground in which they did my previous fence job. Aaron had his guys come back out and readjust the holes of the poles so that he would feel it would be more stable over time, and he did under the guise of warranty work, so he did not charge me for that service. That is honesty and integrity that is, sadly, rarely seen and displayed nowadays.

Hire inspectors before paying final invoice. FYI "Custom Deck and Fence Austin" also has poor reviews on multiple sites noting owner Todd Louis Ratajik of "Good Day Baked Energy Snacks" (Forfeited Existence). Sites now name "Cesar" as owner. Negative reviews disappeared. AFFD has pending lawsuits with Travis County Courts. Unknown AFFD subcontractor alarmingly used my name and address in another client's lawsuit wtf! Standard: Visual consistency. AFFD: Mismatched railing. Todd's words: "It's the same railing but pinched." (A contractor's FB review notes lack of materials to properly complete jobs.) Std: Concrete pad supports stairs. AFFD: Stair stringers hover in air, failing to land on concrete. Todd blatantly texted that stringers would step out (not down) from deck. I refuted the abnormality. Top step was cut off; stringers don't reach concrete. Instead of extending pad or redoing stringers, an ugly post was set. Std: Stairs treads w/o gaps. No overhangs. AFFD: Stringer cuts forgot stairs' fascia; treads weren't 11+". Gaps added to meet code, so stair noses are 1.25+", ie trip hazards. FYI Use rise-to-run guidelines. Std: 42" deck railings. 34-38" stair railings ABOVE boards. AFFD: 44" deck railings. Didn't supply 34" stair railings; boards grossly notched to lower height, which start at 44"! Std: Posts sit on existing FINISHED concrete pads. (LOL) AFFD: Post had no contact with pad (after removing makeshift shams to hide the blunder) ie ZERO deck weight on ground. Todd asked if this was okay [to not deal with]. Post not corrected at start. Rough concrete poured atop pad to meet post. Ew. Std: 16" oc MAX joist spacing (Trex specs). AFFD: 7 of 13 spacings are 16+". No blocking. Add 1 or 2 joists = ~15.5" or 14" spacings. Todd said his ways are "affordable" and "economical". Eek. Best: Competitor contracts: "12-in joist spacings", "blocking", "glulam beam". Std: Trex Cocktail Rail Kit (full-width support, hidden fasteners). AFFD: 5.5" wavy floor boards nailed to 1" rail. Visible screws, rough shavings, corner gaps, no support eg 2x4s to flatten board. No countersunk screws and putty to hide nails. Std: Professional aesthetics. AFFD: Not spraying railing cuts = RUST. No continuity in stairs fascia to meet deck edge. Silver bolts on black railings. Posts unequal distance from deck edges. Cedar's shorter lifespan requires staining / maintenance is inferior to Trex's composite fascia. Std: Disclosure of unforeseen issues. Protocols. Loyal crews. AFFD: Crew wasted a day plotting makeshift repairs after causing roof damage. Licensed roofer was furious about erroneously-cut flashing. Roofers returned after crew again made damaging cuts where told not to. Zero acknowledgement from Todd. AFFD: Crew noted holes in house's ceiling after removing joist nails. No repairmen references. Not-our-problem mentality. AFFD: 15+ days by 2 tired guys: the hire + his actual neighbor. Ditto to reviewer compelled to supervise. Days start late, end after 7pm. My neighbors had 5 deck builders who left by 6pm still jolly. AFFD: Non-recyclables in recycling bin. Concrete and stinky liquid in trash bin. Cigarette butts, nails, and construction debris across yard. AFFD: Crew won't tell owner about gray areas and errors in judgments. One unsure if he'd get paid wth. Std: Professionalism. AFFD: No final walkthroughs. Owner ignores items in emails. Condescending; when I climbed a ladder re an issue (that I called a roofer to fix), Todd muttered that I was "an inspector, eh". Instead of talking measurements, Todd's retort was "I'm the owner of a deck company", as if titles alone grant proficiency. Labor is hired out, crew turnover is high. Workmanship depends on whoever is outsourced, who aren't deck builders so much as guys who "have built decks before". Expect no corrections on what Todd Ratajik deems as "good enough".

For a couple years I'd been watching our backyard privacy fence gradually decay. Posts began to…read morebreak at ground level, nails began to pop out of the gray rotting boards...well, you get the picture. Oh, and greenbelt creatures could easily crawl underneath the fence; it was time. Just by chance, I ran into a neighbor walking her dog who mentioned getting their fence replaced and how happy she was with Austin Fence and Deck. Not only that, Mike across the street had them do his, too. I was sold. I'd been dreading researching fence replacement companies in Austin only to worry that I'd never know if I'd pay too much and wind up with a poor job. However... My experience with Austin Fence and Deck, Aus Tex, was great. David, who developed the quote through his onsite visit, was very professional. He thought of things I'd never have recognized or considered and was very thorough about what the whole process would entail. He developed a quote which I felt was very reasonable considering the scope and left me with the confidence in Aus Tex that I needed to move forward. Aus Tex has a removal and prep team and then an installation team. The whole project only took two days. George and his son Anthony were the removal and prep team. The day they came to our house it was going to be 100 degrees. In short order they started removing sections of fence and hauling them uphill from our back yard to the front which had to be close to 250 feet. Then they began the process of digging the new holes for the steel posts with an air hammer. Our area is solid limestone. And then they mixed their cement in a wheelbarrow setting them all for the installation team. Mind you, it's almost 100 degrees by then. George and Anthony did a great great job and by 3 pm they had loaded all the old fence on their truck and were off to yet another job. The following day, the "Chicago and PT Team" as they are fondly known arrived in the afternoon. Again, another 100+ degree day, and they quickly began measuring, cutting steel posts to size and prepping the 123 foot L-shaped install for the wood. They worked tirelessly through the heat to make sure they installed the cedar boards across the contour of our back lot looked perfect. They even made sure that the corner where our fence met our neighbor's chain link fence was perfectly adjoined so that the feral pigs living in our greenbelt couldn't begin to squeak through. This was important in that our neighbor had spent thousands to keep the feral pigs from destroying his front yard again. Everyone from Aus Tex was both friendly and professional. They did great work in my estimation and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their privacy fence replaced. You won't have to worry about whether or not they know what they are doing. There in and out, fast and do excellent work.
