Affordable Fence & General Construction

We just had Affordable Fence put up an arena fence for us. They did a great job. The price was very good and it was done in a timely fashion. The crew was very nice and Tom, who oversaw the job, was very professional and always responded quickly to phone calls. We would definitely recommend them.

Came out to look over my fence problems. Told me I would be contacted via email with estimate. Over a week later, I got estimate. Told them I went with another vendor. Too little, too late.

Got to say I agree with these reviews. Mr Williams is a terrible salesman. I called as no one arrived to the scheduled estimate. When he did arrive he told me he misplaced the schedule. He took measurements and quoted me 2,800 for a front door security gate. When I asked him for some design estimates he told me to look some up and call him. The next company I called were courteous, professional, showed me a number of designs, and then gave me a quote 600 dollars cheaper.

Gave them one star because I had to. Don’t keep appointments or call to change it, two different times! Called the office and twice she told me I’ll call you back, NO CALL!
If they don’t call you before the installation what’s it going to be like after the installation if you gave a problem…

Installed several commercial extra-​wide gates. Responsive, friendly, knowledgeable customer service (Stephanie). Construction was prompt and completed well within quoted time. Billie helped come up with ways to use on-​site materials to cut costs. Highly recommend.

I had an appointment to get an estimate on my home, after waiting around for 30 minutes I thought to call and see if the gentleman was on his way. The receptionist answered and told me she would call and find out what the delay was, another 30 minutes go by. I finally get a call back only to find out that the estimator had already been to my home and looked at the fence. Not only did I waste my time sitting around for an appointment that already happened but they didn’t take into account that there were a couple of other areas I had questions about. Almost a week later and I am still waiting for the estimate that I was told I would have days ago. Today I called at 2:30pm asking for an update and was told that the person who looked at my fence was in a meeting and would give me a call as soon as it was done, when asked how long she thought it would be she replied «About 30 minutes». The time now is 4:52pm and they are closed… Shocker…

While on the business website I requested to be contacted for an estimate to replace my fence. I was promptly contacted by Stephanie who was very friendly, professional and helpful in assisting me. The workers arrived early to begin removing the old fence and replaced it with a beautiful wooden fence with black wroth iron gate. All employees worked extremely hard, professional and did an outstanding job. I will definitely use this company again.

We recently had a iron fence installed around our pool & it looks amazing. The crew was professional, experienced, courteous, and hard working (in 102* heat on a saturday). Billy came out for the estimate & was very fair in price. We live in oakdale & they had no problem driving here for the work. They are a no nonsense-​get the job done company. It’s unfortunate others didn’t give them a good review, however there are all types of customers. We will recommend them & use them again for future projects. Thanks guys for making our yard safe & gorgeous!

It amazes me that a company will spend time to do a site visit (by Billy who was very nice) provide an estimate (by Stephanie who was very nice) answer a few questions (by Tommy) from a customer and then become totally nonresponsive.
I have called back twice to get the revised proposal I discussed with Tommy and still have not received anything. If this nonresponsive method of doing business is the way they operate before even getting a proposal to a customer, I would not want to be on the end of trying to resolve any issues during or after they complete the job.

HORRIBLE COMPANY, DESTROYS LANDSCAPING DOESN’T APOLOGIZE
I actually signed up for a Unilocal account just so I could write about how terrible this company is — yup that’s how pissed I am. If it were possible to give 0 stars I would.
Hired these guys to rebuild our fence. Really wanted to go with another company but they never called me back and I was in a time crunch so I went with Affordable fence. Now the gal in the main office was really polite and the estimator Tom was nice over the phone and showed up real quick to do the estimate and offered to start the job pretty much the next day. So far so good.
I come home from work on day 1 of the job to see a sweaty guy sitting with his shirt off and his ass hanging out of his pants. Just sitting there for all my neighbors to see. I go over to introduce myself, since I was not there when they got started, and he tells me they accidentally broke some of my bushes. He told me the fence just fell over on them without any warning. I told them my fiancé would be really sad since that was her favorite bush — what does the guy say? I’m sorry? NOPE. He says «of all the bushes you’re telling me that one was her favorite?» REALLY? Now maybe these guys are plant people, fine, but at least apologize for ruining someone’s property. Not to mention these are English rhododendrons that cost about $ 50-​$ 75 a piece. They tell me there going to unload some lumber and then finish up tomorrow. So after they leave I go to survey the damage, first thing I see is they have decided to store their lumber ON TOP of some of my other bushes, alongside a giant piece of concrete from the post hole. I also noticed they broke branches off almost every single one of the bushes I have in my yard.
Then my neighbor comes over and tells me he and his wife watched them shove the fence over on top of my bushes and then take a 2 hour lunch break — WITH THE FENCE STILL LAYING ON TOP OF MY BUSHES. Now rhododendrons are delicate plants they need some shade, acidic soil, special fertilizer, but the one thing they don’t need is a 100 pound fence laying on top of them! So when Tom calls me to ask if the job is done I told him I have some concerns and that I’m upset the guys ruined a ton of my plants. He said he would deal with it accordingly and come by to take a look for himself at the damage.
Well the next day comes along and I notice the fence is done and it looks good — thank God for that. But I notice that one of my princess lilies has apparently been vaporized into oblivion because it simply wasn’t were it was growing 2 days ago. Guess that was an accident too. Then a guy shows up and it turns out to be Bill (maybe the owner?) he asks me to show him what’s going on, so I start to show him all my broken bushes when he stops me — doesn’t even look at all of them mind you — and tells me «whenever you build a fence bushes will be broken.» So I decided to take him in the back and show him the rest of the destruction — remember that princess lily that magically disappeared? He then tells me «there hasn’t been a plant growing there in a long time bud.» SO NOW HE’S CALLING ME A LIAR.
As soon as I figure out how to attach pictures to a review I’ll upload some and you all can judge for yourselves if my bushes were «too close» to the fence and thus destined to be casualties of war.
He offered to give me $ 100 discount or «fight him in court.» Never once said sorry, never once said he would make sure his guys try to be careful.
My advice to you is, if you have some landscaping that you need removed call these guys they’ll come in like elephants and trample everything. If you like your yard and need a fence repaired call someone else.

This place is not worthy of your time, or I’m not worthy of theirs… I can’t tell. Twice now I have scheduled an estimate with Bill Williams and both times were no-​shows, no calls about any change of plans. The first time was in April 2014 and they scheduled a Saturday morning at 9am. I got a voicemail at 1:50PM on the Saturday we scheduled from Bill saying he got «tied up this morning» asking if he could come by right now. I didn’t call back.
So after a few estimates from other companies, I thought I’d give them another shot one month later. I called and again scheduled an appointment. They offered Saturday 10:30am. I agreed. Later in that same day Stephanie called me and asked if they could «widen the window» for Bill because she was unaware of something he had going on that morning. Really?! She offered 10:30 — 1PM. I was hesitant, but I agreed. I am now typing this because he again is a no-​show, and nobody called to let me know. I actually had plans today and was hoping for one more estimate, so I stayed home.
I guess they are a wealthy company, because they aren’t interested in competing for my money. They aren’t interested in potential customers. They don’t communicate well at all. They are not on task. A HUGE warning that this is also how they’ll probably conduct themselves while on the job. I guess it’s a blessing in disguise. But you’ve been warned.

1 stars for billy No star for tommy what’s so ever! I had called around so I had the best price that came in for estimate wrought iron fence and yes there is the cheapest but tommy service wasn’t the best! Every time I called tommy to ask about the contract it was never near what we discuss about in contract so it made me nervous. When I call to make an appt. to come he alway talking about he have to meet with his attorney, which made second guessing should I even go with this company. He probably get sue all the time (i don’t know I’m assuming) so finally I made time to meet him so he can actually show us what we wanted and so we can get the work started. But when I got there, there so cal new office was so hard to find didn’t go over what we would like to have done but just told us that it would look like the one he have in stock. Which the contract didn’t even state the main things we wanted on our fence. So he said he will revised the contract and email us again. So we waited a couple days and he finally email us back after I called and ask him about it. This time we were for sure to sign the contract and was ready to meet up and pay partial of the job until all work is done but when I called first time my phone had bad line he could understand me because I was getting cut off so it disconnected. So I called again it did the same thing. So I tried again he just hung up on me. So I called again went straight to voice mail. I would say there company is Not reliable at all! Id thought if he can’t deal with the phone issue at least return the voice msg that was left. Imagine if I had work done and stuff was not finish it would be so hard to contact these people. I don’t waste money on business who aren’t prompt!

I had the estimator come out the the jobsite to give us an estimate. He got it back to me within a couple of days. After getting two other estimates we decided to go with Affordable Fence. I called the estimator to schedule and got no response. I called the office and they said they would give him a message. I waited a couple of days and then called the estimator again and still no response. I wouldn’t consider them reliable at this point and wouldn’t recommend that anyone use them.

I called a few companies to get bids and decide to go with Affordable Fencing out of Stockton, SO GLAD I did. The stood behind everything. I found some small cracking in the mow strip. Most companies would have said too bad, they didn’t they took it all out and redid it. I had them install an RV gate, move some fence post in the back the previous owner put in wrong and a fence around my front yard. Billy ROCKED, even Tommy came out and kicked butt. WIll be using them again, and I even have their sign on my fence so everyone in the neighborhood know about them.

Amazing service and work. We were looking for a company that repairs wooden fences in Stockton because ours was collapsing due to our neighbor digging a ditch way too close to the fence. I called and spoke to Kim. She was very pleasant and worked out a schedule that works with my schedule. Bill came by on time… even earlier since we got there early. We were thinking that the whole fence needed to be replaced but he suggested something better… repairing the fence with the same wood our fence had. He gave us a quote much lower than we had expected. They came by that same week, fixed the fence and emailed us the bill. The bill was exactly what we were quoted. no hidden charges or fees.
I would use this company again. :) they are awesome people! Thank you!
I would recommend this place too!
