Were quick and handled my odd design requests perfectly, allowing me to cap off the fence posts into a trellis for a wisteria. Understood my concerns about not having the fence attached to the house. Did great work, looks great. My installers were Jorge and Angle and they were outstanding.

We just had Rick's Fencing install a hog panel fence with 2 gates around our yard. Jim and Austin did the install and they worked meticulously to ensure we had a fence that would last us the next 20 years. We are very happy with their work and I would highly recommend them for any fence you need built.
