Mill-To-You Fences

We highly recommend Mill-​to-​you Fences, Inc. Barry Potter, the owner, replaced our old fence and installed a beautiful cedar fence in our back yard and also made a very nice gate so we have access to our back alley. The work was done very quickly and well. Mr. Potter was a pleasure to work with and he went out of his way to do an outstanding job. Mr. Potter is direct, honest, and professional. Once our fence was in place, the neighbor’s fence was out of line and he fixed that without question. He cares about the work he does and he has integrity. We are extremely happy with our cedar fence. It has transformed our backyard.

Mill-​To-​You did a great job of tearing down our old fence and putting up a new one and would definitely recommend. I was appreciative and impressed by their ability to do all the work in about half a day (~100 ft down one side of our property). The quality seems to be great, it looks amazing, and I was also impressed with how much care the crew took with the yard. A hydrangea only inches from the fence survived and they definitely put in effort to clean up the dirt and minimize the impact of digging new holes. On top of that, the price was comically lower than quotes I received from other companies (I’m talking up to ~40%, and I ended up with cedar where the other quotes were for pressure treated pine). It wasn’t the lowest quote, but I think factoring in for the better material it would have been at worst darn close. Relative to one of the prior reviews, the mention of inferior quality is very surprising based on my experience. The only thing remotely negative I’ll say is that they do appear to be relatively informal (i.e., didn’t get a written estimate), not sure if it was driven by the small size of my job though. There was a minor increase from the original quoted cost, but as mentioned above on price, I thought it was more than reasonable and am very happy.

I was intitally impressed with Barry Potter’s team’s ability to remove the old fence and replace with cedar fence over a two day period. It was a pretty large job 400 square feet. The work does not merit a higher rating based on customer service followup. I asked for formal invoice and never given one. I had 3 gates put in. The latch hardware was of inferior quality to what I had on my prior gates. One of the latches was put in and now does not catch. I contacted Barry about this and he has yet to correct. Only time will tell, but I am now nervous about the quality of the cedar that was used for this fencing.

Barry Potter really knows his fences! He mills a lot of the parts himself. He is honest, straightforward, priced well, and committed to doing a good job. He installed a cedar fence for us for less than the price quotes other contractors gave us for pressure treated pine. We had one area of confusion about the top of the fence. Barry replaced part of the fence so it would match our vision and didn’t charge us for the correction. Barry is easy to reach, a pleasure to work with, and I heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a fence.
