Galvan’s Fencing

After a terrible experience with another fence company, I contacted Josh based on a referral from a friend.
He came to the house to quote the removal and replacement of a 30′ section of broken fence along my property line.
He made it clear that he was booked until mid-​late Nov but I needed to get it done so we booked with him. Last week, he called and said he had an opening for Thursday. I took it and he said his guys would be onsite at 10am. They were there at 9:30am and were done by 1pm.
Excellent quality work and communication skills.

I would not recommend to anyone if you are looking for someone who keeps his commitment, Josh is Unprofessional and unreliable.
I contacted Josh based on the reviews on Unilocal.I had no other references.
He had scheduled an appointment to fix the fence 2 months back on a work day for which I had to take a day off from work, and I call to confirm if he would be on time and he conveyed he was backlogged and would have to move the appointment by 3 days. His quote was definitely not the cheapest but he came over when I called and gave a quote quickly, so I thought he would keep his appointment.
I had to cancel the appointment, I will take my business elsewhere.

Left two separate voicemails around 1 – 2 weeks apart. No calls back whatsoever. Not the best customer service…

Josh came out quickly and gave a competitive bid to remove and replace redwood fencing and two gates for the back and side yards. His quote was very clear and broke down the details for each section by neighbor as there were four neighbors sharing the fence.
The job took two days and his crew left the site clean each day. The quality of the workmanship and fencing material is very good. Josh kept in tourch with me to make sure all was going well and came by to check on his crew each day.
I will be using Galvan’s agan in the future if I need more fencing and would highly recommend him.

Mu husband called many people for quotes. Galvan’s was the only 1 who came out as scheduled. We accepted the reasonable rate and they started work almost right away.
After a few weeks the fence needed an adjustment… here comes the test I think to myself. Will they come back out promptly and fix this. They did… next day they came out and made the adjustment.
Unilocal 5 stars earned!

Josh & his crew did an excellent job replacing a neighbor fence on 6÷30÷14.
They use high quality redwood & the workmanship is outstanding!
I highly recommend them for your fencing needs.
Thank you Josh & his crew, You’re Awesome!

I hired Galvan’s Fencing to replace a section of fence that blew down in a storm. Josh was really friendly and professional. He came out a few times beforehand to make sure we were clear on everything. And then he came out after his crew had put up the fence (they did a great job by the way) to make sure we were happy with everything. Doing business with him was a pleasure. And the fence looks great — nice, straight and sturdy!

I’m about to use Josh Galvan for the third time in 15 years — all different fences. :)
I agree with all of the other positives. I think Josh is the best. The crew are brothers who work very well together. If anything goes wrong (like move the latch that was getting sticky after 10 years) he comes back for free.

I’ve used Galvan’s three times in almost 20 years, and have always loved their fence work and professionalism. The prices are very competitive.
Josh is very prompt and reliable, hard to find with contractors sometimes. I’ve used them three times, not because the fence failed, but because I’ve changed my mind that many times over the years.
His staff are just as polite and on time as he is. Hope he’s still in business when I change my mind next time!

They completed some fencing for our Homeowner’s Association. I had another bid, but our neighbor, who was sharing the cost said he got a cheaper bid with Galvan’s and they had good reviews so we went with Galvan. They did a great job at a great price.

Galvan’s did some fence replacement and installed two new gates last December and the work still looks like new. They did a great job, left the site cleaner then they found it, and their pricing was the mid range of our quotes. I highly recommend them and we will use them in the future when we can afford to replace the rest of the fence.

Josh, Louis and their team replaced a shared fence for my neighbor and I.
Good:
–After 2 months, the fence still looks great.
–Louis was onsite promptly as scheduled
–They were very efficient — in as I left for the office, and out by the time I returned home
–The crew left very little evidence of their demolition. Only a few residual pieces of wood and nails, which is expected.
Bad:
–Josh handled the transaction. On several occasions, he was extremely unprofessional on the phone and showed very little care for the customers.
–Pricing was higher than others.
I would look elsewhere first before contacting Galvan’s Fencing.

Competent, thorough, quick and a nice guy. The work was done amazingly fast, all the little things were done. Concrete was rounded up above the ground so the water doesn’t pool around the post and rot them. Galvanized flashing wherever the fence touched the house-​for termite protection. His crew hauled every bit of debris away and left our yard clean and swept. I had a big ladder hanging on the old fence and I asked one of his crew if he could put in a couple of hanging nails. He pulled out two extra big nails out of his work pouch and said, «I got these just for you.» THAT is Mr. Galvan and his crew. If you want a so-​so fence, call a gardener who does fences. If you want a fence done absolutely straight and right and fast, call a fence guy. That would be Mr. Galvan. You can’t miss.

Josh Galvan has taken care of several projects for us now — 2 fencing sections (with gates), a pergola, a small fence to hide pool equipment, an internal gate, and a trellis. His work is solid and the level of customer service is exceptional. On one of his return visits, he noticed that workers at our house damaged a part on one of the gates that he previously installed and his guys fixed it without a word — it wasn’t even part of what they were working on. I highly recommend Galvan’s Fencing.

Galvan’s Fencing did an excellent job replacing my rotten old fence and gate. I would certainly call on them again (when the other side of my old fence falls down.)
They were timely with the estimate and provided detailed information on the work they were proposing and explanations of the materials. The estimate came out to be about a thousand less than my other estimates.
For the job they required only a power extension cord and everything else was completely handled by them, including disposal of the old fence and any clean up. Mr. Galvan also helped by talking with the neighbor and writing separate bills so I wouldn’t need to coordinate payments.
As for the fence itself… The old fence was a blight on my backyard so it wouldn’t take much to improve on it, but the new one really does look great. Everything is straight and level, the sides are flush with the solid wall behind them, the posts properly sunk into cement, and the gate that they constructed feels strong and opens and closes easily.
