She was in need of fencing to secure privacy for her two young and active children and security for their family dog. My wife and I decided we would surprise my daughter by taking care of this project for her. I called Fence Consultants and discussed the project with them. I knew immediately I had contacted the right company. They were very courteous, knowledgeable and very detailed oriented. The installation was excellent, I highly recommend Fence Consultants to anyone in need of fencing and railing. **★★★★ — Miho Suzuki-Robinson, Feb. 2015** > They built a modern cedar fence to enclose my backyard. Joe was wonderful to deal with and ran through several design variations with me to get to a budget-friendly quote. They were timely and professional in their work. I would suggest choosing your own gate hardware before they complete the work. **★★★★★ — pigskin1, Feb. 2015** > Very Professional Sales and who specifically itemized all additional potential costs. Fence is a perfect fit for our home and difficult rolling landscape design. One small issue with a gate after install was fixed w/in 24 hours. Fence is well constructed and i would highly recommend Fence Consultants. **★★★★★ — geraldfolson1, Feb. 2015** > When you buy you buy from people, Joe Plafkin was awesome. My project was bigger than I thought. I first met Joe at the job site for a quote and he did that in a day. I accepted and they did the job when they said they would and everything was perfect (fenced was straight and level). I added on to my project 2 more times and Joe met with me both times and the results were the same. Joe and his installers are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. **★★★★★ — remley06, Feb. 2015** > This company is amazing! In my line of work, I hire many vendors and contractors and I have never experienced this level of professionalism and commitment. My sales rep., Joe Plafkin was there every step of the way from the bid process to the end of installation. The entire staff from the office gals to the installers, very, very pleasant people. They have even made follow up calls to make sure all is well! This is very rare! I had a concern regarding the fence installation because of the adjoining neighbors fence, the installers listened and were quick to alleviate any and all of my concerns. I am well known for my need to be a control freak and I have to tell you, I just sat back and didn't worry about a thing. Fence Consultants are just that good. Not only is the customer service top notch, the product is great as well. I receive compliments on a daily basis. I highly recommend Fence Consultants. **★★★★★ — 2fb1ets, Jan. 2015** > I am extremely happy with their product, installation, and service. These are truly professionals and well worth the price. They got the job done for me under less-than-ideal conditions and a very tight time frame. They continue to provide me with prompt service if I have any issues with the gates etc. My fence is the envy of the neighborhood! ## Selected projects - [Ornamental Aluminum Fence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ornamental-aluminum-fence-pj-vj~442836) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 76 - Description: Ornamental aluminum fence will not rot, peel, crack or rust.
