    Excellent craftsmanship & superb attention to details! I need garden gate installed and was recommended Nick through a friend. He came for an estimate, asked a lot of questions and provided suggestions which I very much appreciate. He was always on time and finished everything on schedule. I was nervous, because it was a fairly technical job where he had to drill into an old concrete and secure the gate without using an existing structural wall, but it turned out fantastic!

    Nick is the best. I wanted to add a day bed in my house and it is better then I imagined. He made it flow with my house and worked with the space I had to maximize the size of the day bed. I would definitely use his services in the future!

    After nearly 20+ years of having a wrought iron fence that was rusted, in 2 mismatching colors, and…read morebroken in certain areas, I decided it was time to get estimates on a new fence for my property. Browsing through Yelp, I came upon Best Gates and Fencing and saw that they averaged 4.8 Yelp reviews. I read many of the reviews and perused the photos of the different fence projects they had done, and I was impressed with their work. I contacted the company and got a quick response from Miguel, the owner, to set up an appointment for an estimate. After meeting with Miguel, I gave him an idea of what I had in mind, and he took accurate measurements of my property. Miguel gave me estimates on the use of different materials: wood, aluminum, galvanized steel and vinyl. After giving Miguel a budget I could work with, he presented me the options of using natural premium redwood (stained and sealed) with powder coated galvanized steel posts. Miguel was very easy to work with, and I like how he offered his input to further enhance my vision of what I wanted. Miguel is very efficient, along with his coworker, and he takes great pride in providing a quality product. He always kept me in the loop regarding each work phase, and was quick to address any of my questions. Best Gates and Fencing does not rush their jobs. For my project, they work in phases, and it was great to see my fence project come to life, so to speak. In the end, I was extremely in awe of the transformation Best Gates and Fencing provided. I have received numerous compliments on the fence, and I feel like I have the best fence in the neighborhood. If you have a fence project or repair in mind, do not deviate away from Best Gates and Fencing. In my opinion, they are THE BEST!

    Miguel and his assistant did a great job overall. Good job with colors and look I wanted.read more

The whole crew was professional, easy to work with, and did a great job. The price was also really reasonable--we felt like we got a great fence for a fair price. It's hard to find companies that are this responsive and actually do what they say they're going to do. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend!

    My mom and I were inquiring about maybe replacing our fence and came across Larry's Fence on yelp…read more I called his company number, but was greeted by an answering machine. It did specify to leave a name and number and that he would call as soon as we could. I spoke to Larry about half hour later and told him what I was looking for. He was very professional in explaining what I might be wanting and might need for the New fence. I was very satisfied with the information he provided me, but at the time my mom had already committed with someone else to do the job. Unfortunately, the other person that did the job did a horrible job with the fence. I wish I would've stayed and convinced my mom to have Larry do the job. I would recommend Larry to do your job. 1. He returned the call and apologize for not answering the call when I called. 2. He explained everything to you thoroughly and 3. He ended with our conversation with "Thank you for calling Larry's Fence. Larry the reason I'm giving you a four star rating is only because I didn't have the privilege to have my fence done by you and see your work but your customer service was excellent and you showed a lot of professionalism with our conversation.

Fair Pricing and Quick…read moreInstallation, but Lacking Attention to Detail Overall, my experience with Alpine Fence had a mix of clear positives and frustrating negatives. The Positives * Communication & Speed: They were quick to respond, quick to get us on the schedule, and finished the installation very fast. * Pricing & Reputation: Their quote was fair and in line with other estimates I received. I ultimately chose them because I recognized the brand and had seen their work around the neighborhood. * Customer Support: When I reached out regarding issues after the job, they responded quickly and sent a different installer out to fix one of the issues. The Negatives * Damaged Materials: Many vinyl pieces arrived scratched up because they were transported loose in the back of the installer's truck, sliding around in dirt and debris. * Rough Site Cleanup: I had carefully cleared all the rocks away from the old fence so they could work easily and replace the rocks afterward. Because the crew rushed, they did a poor job spreading the rock back out, leaving obvious bare dirt patches despite there being plenty of rock. There were tons of vinyl shavings from the installation that are all over the yard. * Property Damage: Concrete was dripped onto my decorative walkway pavers, which I still haven't been able to remove. * Missed Instructions: I specifically asked them not to connect the new fence to my neighbor's existing fence, but they did it anyway. Follow-Up & Final Verdict To their credit, Alpine Fence sent a second technician who replaced the scratched rails, posts, and gate, and fixed a gate installation error. However, they completely ignored the concrete on my decorative pavers, the rock landscaping issue, and the improper connection to the neighbor's fence. They get the job done quickly and stand by their customer service to an extent, but the rushed workmanship and damage to surrounding property keep this at a 3-star review.

    I recently hired Steve to build a custom fence and do some basic landscaping for me at my…read moreClairemont home. From the first meeting, I could tell Steve was an unconventional kind of contractor and was willing to work WITH me to get the exact results I wanted. We spend at least an hour in person reviewing the project, then several rounds of phone call/emails back and forth to hammer out the details and price. Compared to my other bids for the exact same work, Steve's bid was exceptionally detailed (I kid you not, down to the nuts and bolts required) and was SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper--so much so that I hired him on the spot when I got his final reworked bid. I am a pretty particular person (some might say a micro-manager), and I had a very specific vision for how I wanted the fence to be built and look. Steve (and his employees Chris & Patrick) were completely receptive to my input and turned the whole project into a collaborative effort in figuring out how to solve some of the more unique issues that arose during the construction. For me and my personality, that worked out perfectly. I am sure other contractors would have totally blown their lid dealing with me onsite everyday asking questions and talking, but Steve's guys took it in stride and the added collaboration really worked out for the benefit of the final result. The final fence built is so amazing people literally stop as they drive by and shout to ask who did the fence for me. I have even had SEVERAL people knock on my front door and ask for the contractor who built the fence. Part of that is down to my killer modern fence design (Steve know's I am right on that!), but most of it falls down to Steve's excellent execution of my vision. Due to the complexity of the project, Steve estimated 3-4 weeks, and they landed a little early at 3 weeks despite a few mix-ups and change orders. As the project was wrapping up, I was really looking forward to hiring Steve to do more work on other landscaping projects, but sadly, Steve told me he was moving home to be closer to family and this was his last project! I would without a doubt hire Steve and his team again for my future landscaping needs if he ever returns to San Diego.
