A Straight Up Fence Co

We had the pleasure of working with Brian and his team this summer when they installed a 260 ft. cedar 6ft high privacy fence in our Boulder home. We weren’t just impressed with the beautiful results but more so with the quality and integrity of the team itself. To say that Brain is passionate about his company’s work… is an understatement. Its a quality we rarely see these days — a team dedicated to the craft of wood building, respecting the elements and limitations of space and installing a final product that speaks from the heart. Oh, and their communication was outstanding. They had some build obstacles along the way (unexpected under-​ground boulder rocks on the perimeter of our property line) — instead of griping or up-​charging, or delaying — they addressed the issue expertly, communicated with us and delivered our stunning privacy fence, on time and on budget. Extremely pleased and will recommend to all — Bravo to «true artisans». Expert artisans, very reasonably priced.

We were referred to this company by our neighbors. What we had them do is open up part of our existing privacy fence to the alley so we could park our jet ski in the yard. They were quite busy and we were expecting to have the work done by the time we got back from a family vacation. However we had a bunch of crazy weather while we were gone and for a solid week after we returned. But a guy showed up about 3:30 PM and was done by 6. Solid work, the new gate looks awesome and we were charged what we were quoted. Would definitely recommend A Straight Up Fence Company. We actually may have them do our front yard now.

These guys didn’t get a permit from the city to replace my fence. As a result, they were forced to shutdown operation and wait a day while they got a permit. The fence looks great after it was completed.
On the other hand, I had them install a driveway gate that they did not install correctly. The gate is 4 – 5 inches off the ground and higher than the fence that connects perpendicular to it, which looks like crap. It’s a nice gate, but my dog can easily dig under the gate if I let her.

We hired Brian’s company to tear down and replace/​extend two long fences and an old gate. The new fences included two new gates. Brian was on time for our quote appointment and he offered solid, honest advice regarding materials and construction. Our home backs a very busy state highway and the no-​gap fence Brian recommended is awesome. The red cedar is gorgeous and as a bonus, it smells great too! Brian’s crew was on time, professional, courteous and kind to our dogs and kids. They extended their professional courtesy to our elderly neighbor and her dogs too. They were consciousness of our property and living space. They cleaned up every remnant of construction and worked their butts off with a smile. We were quoted and planned for a four-​day project. They impressively completed the fencing and two beautiful gates in two days. Then took just a half day more to complete a complex dual gate to replace an existing dilapidated gate. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product. I would gladly recommend A Straight Up Fence Co. to anyone! Thank you Brian and Crew!!!

After seeing the work that was done at a friends house I contracted them to replace a section of fence and gate. The wood held up and the job was done to my satisfaction. I had zero complaints.
A year and a half or two later I had moved and need some old wood and cinder block fencing removed and replaced with chain link. The job was once again done to my satisfaction.
After seeing their work at a friends place and hiring them twice I have zero complaints about their work. My experiences were all very positive, and Brian was responsive.

I’m not one to usually write reviews as I use word of mouth to refer contractors, but I felt this company warrants a review for all of the Denver area residents seeking a contractor for fence work.
I scheduled a consultation a week in advance with A Straight Up Fence Company and Brian the company’s owner showed up as promised 15 minutes prior the scheduled appointment. I am very inquisitive about all work done on my home as I like to Gage the workmanship and professionalism before hiring a company. After I was given a in depth and thorough explanation for the work to be done, we went over pricing and I found through my previous estimates from 2 other fence companies that A Straight Up Fence Co. is not only very reasonable but very fair given the work to be done. Going on my own intuition I proceeded to hire this company.
From the start date (mind you it was raining through out the week and I offered to post pone if they so desired) but they showed up worked through it and installed a beautiful new cedar fence. Now mind you workmanship is one thing but clean up and respect for my property is another thing as I have had bad experiences with bums for contractors and this where A.S.U.F. separated itself from the others. They did an OUTSTANDING job before, during and after the work was done from set up to clean up I was very happy with the overall experience and have a new fence to boot. If you need a fence done I highly suggest you give A Straight Up Fence Company a call.

Beware — don’t pay before you are 100% satisfied. After paying, my requests to get the gate completed went unanswered for over a year. His recent attempt to fix the gate did not repair it and he hasn’t replied to repeated email requests. Just go with a reputable company and save yourself the hassle.

emailed them per their website’s request to get a free quote and never heard from them. Must be going great for them as they don’t seem to need to business.

I waited a year to write this review because I wanted to see how the product would hold up. So far so good (knock on wood!) — the red cedar seems to look just as good now as it did after installation.
Our experience with Brian was great except for a few missed minor appointments. The consultation was good and I have to say that I did my homework and really grilled him about materials, installation etc. He was cool about everything. The price was midway between my other quotes and I liked his answers about origin of product and environmental practices. The installation was tricky because it kept raining day after day — they ended up finishing our fence during a rainstorm and I have to give them big credit for that.
There were a few small things they missed doing and I told them they could come back and finish whenever they had time — it did take two months but I was patient because I know they are busting a** during the summer. They finally got around to doing the job and it was as promised and good work.
