Shields Fence Co.

have used Ron Shields Fence Company in the past. I was holding a bid that was two years old, for another property which needed new fencing desperately, but which property had neighboring tree issues. When finally the tree issues were resolved, we were able to move forward on this project. Always the business person, I secured several additional bids. Ron honored his bid that was two years old, which was very competitive and which I appreciated
We used an upgraded vinyl fencing, made in the USA. He and his crew did the work in less than 2 ½ Rating Woohoo! As good as it gets!
days. He went out of his way to do some «extras» for me, such as removing a wooden retainer bench/​planter and moving the dirt therein. He made sure the neighbors were satisfied on their side of the project. He put new posts for the neighbors and affixed their trellises which had been on the old fence. He started and finished as agreed. He requested a deposit up front on the day he began work and final payment upon completion. He provided paint in case I wanted to paint the hinges to match. He explained everything up front before the work and indicated what he was going to do and why. He went over everything with me and at the end, I noted a s mall list of questions, including neighbor’s concerns, and he handled every item before he finished. I am very happy and satisfied with the fencing and gates. Based on this job, I would definitely use him again. I was totally pleased. He is running his business as well as doing the physical labor. (Due to some low reviews here I did have cause for concern when he didn’t answer a phone call right away, but I am REALLY HAPPY with the job, his professionalism, and with the fence!) Thank you Ron, John and Paul (didn’t get the last fellow’s name.)

Lower price than anyone else, and there were no add-​ons. I got a cedar fence. He gave great advice to help me choose which kind of posts, etc. He led his crew, actually doing work himself, not just supervising or leaving. I think he has been building fences since he was in his teens. The job was done fast, and the fence came out perfect. I highly recommend him.

Super disappointed, Steve I think is his name made an appointment with me for the morning. I waited around for a while then called and got no answer so I had to get to work. I called a few days later and left a kind message asking to call, but I got no call back. I really wanted him to do the work, since he had just finished the fence on my neighbors yard and mine would be an extension of that.
Just don’t understand!

Most businesses want repeat customers. Ron installed over 200 feet of cedar fencing for me in 2006. When I needed an estimate for wind damage he stood me up twice. There will be no third time.

My husband and I are very pleased with the work. The guys who built the fence were great. They not only finished by noon, but they did a far better job than I expected. Ron’s fee quote was much lower than all of the others we got, so I was a little worried of the quality of work at first, but they went the extra mile and now I have a beautiful, well built fence. I would use them again and again if I need anymore work. Highly recommended.

Ron the owner was great to work with. Showed up on time, gave me a competitive quote, started and finished the work on time and it looks great!!!

Ron was very professional and arrive on time when he came to give me a estimate on a custom vinyl fence. His bid was very competitive so I decided to go with him. A couple of days later he showed up with his crew and with in two day my fence was completed and my backyard was so clean you couldn’t even tell they were ever back there. Ian very pleased with the work they did and will refer them to everyone I know who’s looking for a great fence company.

I wanted so badly to give my business to a smaller company and when I originally called to get an estimate, Ron said he’d come out the following week. On the day of the appointment, he called 10 min before he was supposed to arrive and asked if he could reschedule for a later time that same day. Fortunately, I was able to move some things around and make that new time work for me. He showed up at the re-​scheduled time and was super nice and left some samples. He told me he’d get the estimate to me in about a week. Well, a week later I had no estimate so I called to follow up. He said «I was going to email that to you tonight.». I said okay and checked my email that night… but still had no email. It has now been 2 weeks and still no estimate. I refuse to call again to get an estimate that will give him new business! Such a bummer because I really liked him when he came out. It seems from some of the other reviews that Ron has a time management issue. Now it’s on to the next fence company!

How can I give them anything else but one star? Ron was supposed to show up at my house for an estimate at 5pm but never showed up. I left him a voicemail but no return call yet. I left work early to make sure I would be home on time to meet him. What a waste: it would have been nice if he would’ve notified me that he couldn’t make it

After deciding to put in vinyl fencing we met with several fencing contractors before deciding to go with Shields. It was such a refreshing experience to work with someone that isn’t trying to price gouge, and does his job with pride and complete professionalism.
And best of all our fence turned out even better than I thought it would! I would recommend Shields without any reservations.

Had a great experience with Shields. The fence came out great, and Ron was very competitive with his bid. Highly recommended.
For a little more detail:
Ron is very friendly and professional. He spent significantly more time with me than the other contractors that bid. He informed me of a couple of problems in the yard, and how he would fix them.
Ron also had a significantly better bid than the other contractors (he beat one almost by half). I also checked with the materials vendor — he came highly recommended, and I compared his bid against material cost — it was very competitive. He put in three solid — back to back — days of work, and his entire crew was very courteous. Everything was on time, and done as he said it would be done.
The fence actually came out better than we imagined. It looks great and is perfectly plumb. Our neighbors are actually stopping by to tell us how nice it looks. Our fence was custom — and it came out exactly as we asked. We could not be happier.
Finally, Ron went out of his way multiple time to help us. He helped broker the deal with a difficult neighbor. He rebuilt the top of my crumbling retaining wall AND transported about a ton of bricks for free (Home Depot would charge about $ 80 for the delivery). He chipped away an old tree stump that the last contractor actually went around (so now the fence is true to the property line) for free. When we told him we had a cat, he took the extra time to add an extra bottom slat where the yard slopes — also for free.
As a new home owner that bought a fixer-​upper, this has been the best experience I’ve had with a contractor.

Ron did work at out apartment complex that my wife and I manage. He and his crew were not only competitive with pricing, but did a remarkable job. They made great recommendations to give us the best job and value. Would use them over and over.

Horrible horrible customer service. Never showed up when he said he would. When called he said «oh forgot about you.». Three days of no show and excuses. On third day would not answer phone or return calls. Do not use this company.

Great experience working with Ron. He did our backyard privacy fence and a vinyl picket fence in our front yard that has earned us multiple compliments from neighbors (and passing cars!). Very competitive pricing and professional work.
