Armando’s Fence

Like any contractor, he needs a good administrator to answer his phone and book appointments. A $ 10/​hour pro, could help you better fill customer appts.
His fence work/​professionalism and ability are really strong. He used pre-​mixed concrete (which I’ve learned over time works much better than the fast/​easy way to pour dry concrete and a hose into a hole) — uses quality wood and measuring/​cutting so the fence is level and straight. And will do a wide range of styles.
I’ve used him multiple times and once you get on his radar, you’re good to go.

Armando did great work at a great price! We needed our gate and small section of fence fixed. Most people wouldn’t even quote it or wanted a ridiculous price. Armando gave us a fair price and did a really nice job. While he was onsite he fixed another small section that was falling down. We had him out to do a larger repair and will absolutely be using him for our full fencing when we need it! Need more honest folks that do great work like he does. Highly recommended!

Terrible customer service. My wife and I called and left multiple messages. After weeks of no response we decided to find someone else.

I highly recommend Armando’s Fence company to anyone looking to replace a fence in the Bay Area. Armando personally came out and delivered an on-​site bid, which competitively beat the other two bids I had received earlier. At first I was nervous that that the lower bid would result in lower quality, but these concerns were proved wrong. Armando arrived early in the morning with his crew and had the entire old fence removed and loaded on the truck, post holes dug, concrete mixed and new posts set before lunchtime. Armando and his crew are top notch — no small talk, or lag time. The efficient process and intuitive teamwork was fascinating to watch.
The next day Armando was delayed on another job site, but called to let me know of the reason and delay. I appreciated the courteous gesture. In the end, Armando and his crew completed the massive fence replacement in a mere two days. We are adjacent to a corner home and wanted extra security, so Armando installed a very tall fence supported by sturdy 4X6 pressure treated posts with finely cut Redwood slats. The crew masterfully used the Skill Saw like a pair of tailoring shears! They also used a gas powered auger to quickly drill deep post holes. Armando even used a chainsaw to remove numerous thick stalks of ivy and dead trees — cutting and disposing everything at no extra charge. Talk about value for money! The gate hardware installed is also high quality, not the cheap stuff. Armando has been building fences in the Bay Area for two and a half decades. If you want a hassle-​free experience, go with Armando’s Fence.

I would absolutely not recommend this company.
Armando came to our property, saw the fence we needed repairing, we agreed on a price, and a date to do the work. All seemed good.
The date came, no show, no phone call, nothing. We had specially arranged with our neighbors to be in to give him access. Talk about frustrating!!!
It is interesting how a 5 star review bubbles to the top of Unilocal,yet the last review (Desmond on 6÷19÷13) was very negative for the same reason as us, a complete no-​show.
We have since found that there are much better fence companies out there that actually give a damn. Look around.

We just had a fence job completed by Armandos Fence and they did outstanding work! This was a custom job that required special slat cuts for a privacy addition to our current fence. Armando does his own fabrication so he does not need to purchase from another supplier. He also did some «extras» for us at no charge (ie., additional fence work and new screws in our gate). Armando was onsite during all of the work and did some of the work himself. He is friendly and efficient and very knowledgeable.
We had two other bids from Duran Fenciing Company and Bob Orsich Fenceworks.
Armando’s bid was definitely the best of the three.
We are very happy customers of
Armandos Fence

Received a bid from Armando to repair our fence (sharing with a neighbor).
We requested an updated bid as we had decided to make changes to the existing structure. Armando agreed to return to re-​bid. It has been over 4 months since that conversation — there have been numerous phone calls to both his work number and his mobile number — leaving messages.
He has not given us the courtesy of a return call.
Very unfortunate as he had rebuilt our deck and we were quite pleased with his work.

Armando just recently replaced our fence and two of our neighbor’s fences. He showed up and finished on time. The fence is top quality and we are very satisfied. Prices were competitive and service was top notch.

We set up a date to build our fence, which was delayed due to rain: understandable. but after 2 – 3 weeks and multiple phone calls we still hadn’t heard back from him, and finally gave up and found someone else. Unfortunately we wasted almost a month waiting around, thinking he was going to build our fence, when he clearly had no intention of calling us back.

We recently had Armando build two full sections of our fence for us. We had two people refer him to us: our realtor and friends whom he had built their fence five years earlier and it still looks fantastic. His estimate was extremely competitive and his team helped us by removing the trees and vines that had taken down the previous fence as well as moving all of the bricks and debris on our neighbors fence line. He completed all work in two days. While he was here, he also helped our neighbors to fix a broken portion of their fence. I couldn’t be happier with the work he did and all of our neighbors are pleased with how well the fence looks around our house.

Armando was one of three bidders. He offered the best design, talked my neighbor out of a less than ideal feature, and built a driveway gate by welding metal, putting a metal post 5 feet deep, and still fronting it with wood so it matched. And his pricing was very good. The whole job took three days. I recommend Armando highly.

This contractor does quality work using quality materials and is very cooperative. He got here when he said he would, he finished when he said he would and the price was the low bid. What impressed me most is that he doesn’t bad-​mouth his competition nor brag about the quality materials he uses. The wood had no large knots to fall out and the posts were set in 32″ of wet concrete which I understand is better than dry mix. You should get a few competitive prices and I bet he will be very close to low and you won’t regret using him.
