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…

Micah and the Thrive Fencing team did an excellent job with our chain link fence install in Ames, Iowa.

Micah and his team did a great job on our fence! Many companies refused to install during winter months. Micah was able and willing to come out in the cold to get us taken care of so we could have a fence the day we moved in. It was a simple process and the experience was exceptional.

No complaints! Great work and the fence looks awesome. On time, fast quality installation, good pricing, and minimal footprints - leaving very little traces/evidence of construction. Micah and crew were genuine and honest and respectful. Without a doubt I would recommend Thrive fencing to whoever asks if I know a good fence company.
