The team did a great job. The erection of the pole barn went smoothly. From design to completion, I was included as part of the team. We worked to stay on schedule and pass all inspections. The fit and finish is well done. Concrete is finished to a smooth surface.

FANTASTIC Experience - The crews were thorough, prompt, and quick. My building and payment timing needs were important but challenging and Leroy and his team exceeded my expectations! The work quality amazes me in this day and age and I will ABSOLUTELY recommend Fisher Brothers to anyone looking. THANK YOU…

We just finished our 4th project in 3 years with Fisher Brothers! Couldn’t be happier with the quality of the work and price. Their entire staff from design and planning through actual construction have been spot on! Would absolutely recommend them for any type of building or project of this nature.

How we grade

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
