I’d like to give them better because I like the fence. They do great work. But, after several set backs, waiting to hear about some discount they were working on with the supplier, I got barely a 2% discount on the project. Disappointed as it was a huge imposition waiting a few extra months.

Hey Libby,
Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing the quality of our workmanship. We're glad you're happy with your new fence! When we inspected the completed project together, I agreed with you that the installation turned out excellent.
We certainly understand the frustration that comes with an extended timeline. As you were aware, the delays were entirely due to unforeseen manufacturing and supplier issues with your custom, made-to-order fencing and were unfortunately outside of our control.
Throughout the process, our team did everything within our power to keep the project moving forward. We also advocated on your behalf with the manufacturer to secure a discount, despite the delays not being caused by our company.
While we understand your disappointment with the amount of the discount, we're proud of the quality of our work and the way our team handled the circumstances within our control.
We appreciate your business and hope you and your dog enjoy your beautiful new fence for many years to come!

Micah and his team at Thrive did an excellent job installing our 4’ iron fence. I obtained 4 bids and they were very competitive on pricing.
Everything was broken out so I knew exactly what to expect. The Warranty is what sealed the deal.
I have seen other fences in our area that wobble, are uneven and peeling. Our backyard has a big slope and they were able to keep the fence looking great on the steep incline and align all sections beautifully. Several concrete footings keep the fence sturdy, and wobble-free!
Quality product and installation. Highly recommend!

After meeting with 11 different fencing companies we chose Thrive Fencing to remove our wooden privacy fence and install a 6 foot tall white vinyl privacy fence with black steel fencing along the back. They were fairly priced and their install practices were exactly what we were looking for since we live in a wind tunnel. We found them to be very informative, responsive to our questions, helpful and kind. They did a wonderful job with our project and we are very satisfied. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend.

Dereck Davis2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Dereck has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Had a fence install scheduled with another company. Two days before they were supposed to begin they wanted me to sign a form saying that if they hit any utility lines then the repair cost would be my responsibility. I backed out of the deal because that should not be the paying customers responsibility. I contacted Thrive Fencing and explained the situation to them. Micah was fantastic to deal with from the start. They started working on the fence the very next day after we agreed to the pricing. Within just a couple days the fence was completed, and looks fantastic. I would highly recommend Thrive Fencing to anyone looking to put one in.

Hey Dereck, we’re really glad you gave us a call! Micah and the crew take a lot of pride in making the process as simple and stress-free as possible, and it’s great to hear that everything came together so quickly. Thank you for trusting Thrive Fencing with your project and for the strong recommendation!

After another contractor failed to get permits/ utilities marked off and start the job on time we decided to reach out for other quotes. Micah was very prompt and within a day he met at our new home for a quote . The quote was fair in price and even offered a military discount and with a delay in another project he and his crew were able to squeeze us in almost immediately to start with our vinyl privacy fence installation. The crews even despite some weather delays were always great with communication and worked through any requests we had . They obtained immediate permits and scheduled utility flagging at the day of the quote and acceptance of the bid.They even provided a request of a trash and recycling enclosure . They were very professional always including Alli In Office for scheduling . The job was completed asap and our fence is beautiful and exactly what we had visioned for our brand new build in Granger Iowa. The crew provided a final walk off and addressed anything found which was very minor right away. Micah the owner gave a follow up call the evening of completion ensuring we were satisfied and happy with everything. I would HIGHLY recommend Thrive Fencing and Micah and his entire staff and employees for any project no matter what type of fencing you may have in mind. Thank you Micah and everyone for an amazing experience .
Sincerely
Ty and Sabrina W.

Micah and his team were excellent to work with. They were quick to respond when I reached out asking for their service. Prior to installation, they conducted two walk throughs and ensured all lines were marked properly and up to my expectations. The install took less than a day for them to complete. We are very pleased with the work done.
Would recommend for your next fencing project!

Cecelia Hammel1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews Cecelia has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Had a great experience with the Thrive team-from setting it up with Micah with an estimate, the walkthrough with Bonnie and the installers, Yohanen, Victor and Noah. A walkthrough was done prior to starting the installation with an explanation as to what would add any extra fees i. e. a hand dig, after a layout was done and after the installation/before they left. It was a miserable hot sticky Iowa day but they got the job done. At the end of a long day Yohanen even put in some extra poles near the house so our small, flight risk, rescue pup wouldn’t get out, much appreciated!! Job well done! Thank you!
