They made the installation process as simple as possible for this first time home owner!
Fence installation was installed/completed per all onsite meetings and discussions. Fence turned out great! We would not hesitate to recommend Elisa and Mario to anyone in the future!
The team was very professional and hard-working. Their work was getting compliments even before the gate was hung! Elisa was great all along the way guiding my next steps. Thanks to all of you!
Great experience with them. Elisa kept us informed and updated on the process, Mario listened to what we were looking for and provided us with the plans that fit our needs. Installers did a great job, although there was a bit of dirt left around the posts.
Specialty Fence & Stain worked quickly and efficiently to install our new fence. The quote we received was significantly less than some of the other local businesses, and they were able to install our fence over a month earlier than the other companies as well.

Everyone was great from the office staff to the install crew.
I was asked to send photos via text message. I spoke to an expert receptionist, who seemed highly qualified with her attitude and unprofessionalism. No one called me to ask questions or schedule an appointment via phone or in person. Needless to say I decided to go with anyone other then them.
Fast and professional services

I wanted to support a family owned business and I really liked the person that came out so I selected specialty fence. 1st issue was there is no communication updates after making 50% deposit in June, the week before labor day JULIE marked my yard so I thought okay they're finally coming. No fence, I called and for two consecutive weeks I was told they were coming on Wednesday and when I called Elisa would laugh and tell me about what issues they encountered. Finally they scheduled installation on Friday 9/23. Of course JULIE hasn't marked so I had to make calls to get this reconciled so that the date wouldn't be pushed again They showed up only tear down the existing fence, no discussion with me if this was acceptable and it wasn't bc I have pets and a pool and didn't want the liability. After talking to Elisa at length she said they would install a temporary fence (see photo) i would have preferred they waited until they could complete the install before removing the fence for an entire weekend. They came back in Monday to install, my yard is pretty tore up from the equipment (see photo) there are clumps of dirt everywhere as well as my patio. They finally complete about 7pm. They promptly send and an invoice on Tuesday for payment, the first link didn't work, they resent on Wednesday and I paid The final inspection was done Thursday with corrections required, the gate post are wobbly, there's excessive dirt everywhere and the slates aren't all fully attached (see photo) Elisa email me that it would be 2 -3 weeks before they could come out. WHAT? I'm really hoping race didn't play a part is the callus service I am receiving because the other reviews and pics are wonderful. My experience was anything but. Less
Quality workmanship. Would highly recommend this company.
Great company!! Professional, great customer service, showed up when they said would and quality craftsmanship! They answered all of our questions and kept us updated through out the process! Would highly recommend!
I reached out to Specialty to replace out fence that had partially fallen. From the very beginning Elisa and everyone bent over backwards to help us. They installed the fence yesterday. I was blown away at the quality and speed they took down and installed the new fence. It’s beautiful and very well made. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Thank you!!!
We worked with Elisa (who is very responsive via phone and email!) to get an estimate to replace our wooden fence and Specialty Fence blew several well known installers out of the water in terms of quality, craftsmanship, and value for the price.

We worked with Elisa (who is very responsive via phone and email!) to get an estimate to replace our wooden fence and Specialty Fence blew several well known installers out of the water in terms of quality, craftsmanship, and value for the price. We went with a cedar fence and gates and are floored by the look it, as neighbors have been stopping by not only to comment about the curb appeal but also about how nice the 3 gentleman on the crew were during its installation. You’re literally getting a custom crafted fence (plank by plank), not just posts with panels attached like some of the competitors which I didn’t realize! I anticipated the yard being left a mess but they literally cleaned up every last bit of dirt from our grass, zero damage whatsoever, it’s like no one was ever here. I can be a critical person but this team was the best I’ve ever worked with for anything we have had done for our home! Less
Very dependable, cleaned up after was completed. Easy to work with.
Made an appointment to get estimated for replacing our fence yesterday at 430pm and Diego was supposed to be here but never showed up. No phone calls from them and they are not even picking up the phone today. Very unprofessional.

Had specialty fence install a chain link fence in may of 2018 ,after installation I could see that they were inexperienced (a lot of this install was done after dark) fence lines were not straight, fence post were crooked , gates were not installed correctly, the owner came out and agreed the fence was not installed properly , I was told that they sub contracted the fence out , and they would no longer be using this crew , they agreed to redo fence . They took fence apart and it stayed they way for 3 months after months of calling I finally got them to come and finish fence , they reinstalled the fence with the old fence polls which the galvanized coating was damaged on every post. Now 3 years later my neighbor knocked on my door and informed me that my fence was installed 20 inches on their property , before I contracted them to do this fence I paid for a survey and a copy was given to them so they could get permit, the property lines were clearly marked. .how do you put a fence 20 inches over the property line ? so now I have to pay to have this fence taken down and reinstalled correctly , what’s horrible experience I had with specialty fence it was like throwing $3100 in the garbage . If you had a fence installed by specialty fence check your property lines , look how far off their original post were installed !!! Thank you speciality fence for wasting my money and not too mention the headache of having to install a new fence after 3 years , now I’m sure they are going to have some excuse , I am sure they are going to blame me that they installed my fence 20 inches on my neighbors property Less

They were EXCELLENT. Very responsive to ALL request. They did great work and worked with requirements from day one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Our privacy fence looks wonderful. We made some changes mid the job and they didn't miss a beat. Well done and the crew was professional with interactions. Great quality. We are very satisfied with their work.
We love our fence! We got a chain link fence to give our puppy a yard to play safely in. Working with Speciality Fence was super easy & professional! They gave us different options & helped us settle on our final fence. We’re so grateful to Speciality! We highly recommend working with Elisa & her crew! The guys were friendly & did great work.
We were looking for a fence to have a fully enclosed area for our dog to run around, and privacy from the street. This fence is just what I pictured, and even a little better. The owners are very responsive and friendly. I recommend anyone wanting a fence to go through Specialty Fence.

They did a great job with installing our vinyl privacy fence. I contacted this company many times with worries and questions about if the fence would be up in time for a party I was hosting in my back yard. Elise was always assuring and remained precessional every time. Needless to say it was up on time. We got many compliments on our new fence.
Showed up on time and performed above standard work in a clean, courteous, professional and timely manner. Donald D. Wagner J.D.W. SERVICES General contractor

Edit: Please read their response and see how they treat their customers. A contractors job does not change daily. They scheduled us and then never told us it changed until I contacted them, never contacted Julie, are trying to keep my money they don’t deserve. You want to hire a company like that? Go for it.

Easy company to work with. They do what they say they are going to do. Domingo and a younger man showed up when we where told. And they work hard and also make sure you as the customer is happy. Happy is not the word I would use. I was very impressed. I would recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you the family at Specialty Fence...Amazing JOB!!!
Yes...would hire again
My wife and I really love our new fence it makes our house look so beautiful. They helped us through the whole process from start to finish. The customer service is amazing they make you feel like you are family and the installers were amazing and friendly any questions you had they answered. The Marshall’s
I had a small 45’ with gate chain link fence done and they did a great job. Communication was good and work was done on time.
We needed a wood fence installed and called several companies in the area. Specialty Fence offered pricing that couldnt be beat. They had great communication and answered all of our questions. The crew that put up our fence was friendly and hard-working. We are overall very happy with our fence and the entire process. Thank you Specialty Fence!

Update: The SF crew has just completed my third fencing installation...still impeccable work and ethic. Specialty Fence is, in a word, "a-mazing". I have employed them on two properties, fencing in .33 acres each time. The result on both properties was flawless. Elisa, who manages the office and answers the phones, is responsive, personable and reliable. Mario, who is the owner, was equally as responsive and kind. We had an incredible team of workers, led by Domingo and Diego, who constructed our second fence during the coldest days of this year. The conditions were absolutely miserable. Not only did Specialty Fence deliver on all promises including the short timeline, but the fence is absolutely beautiful and its integrity is completely intact. We chose a split rail with wire reinforcement on the inside. I have three large dogs who will find any tiny hole they can get their paws on; needless to say, they've found nothing and have been quite happy to frolic in their gorgeous yard. I don't plan on moving anytime soon; however, I wouldn't even consider employing another company or even getting a comparable estimate from some other fence company. I am a customer for life and happy to write this review. They are and honest company, run by honest people who are doing it right. Less
5 Star - All around Excellent! From Elisa to Diego and the Crew! On time, efficient, hard working and priced right! Elisa was very helpful, made everything smooth - great communication!
Good service by the administrator Lisa as well as the service technician Diego. The fence repair was completed within 2 hours and we were happy with the end result. Highly recommended.
I just got a new wood fence from Specialty Fence and it looks great, the team was Professional and very helpful. Elisa and Diego and the staff did a great Job from answering all the questions i had from the start to the end. I would use them again. Keep up the good work Specialty Fence.
Great experience. The crew, especially the foreman Abel, was knowledgeable and professional. They arrived on time, worked hard, and the fence is perfect. I would highly recommend Specialty Fence. Price is good, work is excellent.
Have nothing bad to say. Job was done professionally, cleanly and timely. I wold recommend Specialty Fence.
Specialty Fence did a wonderful job installing my new cedar fence in only two days. The same person who estimated the job came out to layout and begin the installation, which was great. They worked hard - even into the early darkness - to finish it up. You can tell they care about their work in the care they took in installing the fence to a high level of craftmanship. Thank you!
Thank you. Fence and yard looks great. Will recommend Specialty Fence to my neighbors.

Specialty Fence did an excellent job with our fencing needs. Diego and his crew were very professional and worked with me to provide a beautiful new fence. They cleaned up afterwards and we were very fortunate to have used Specialty Fence. The price was very reasonable and I would recommend them to family and friends.
They were very good about getting back to me quickly anytime I emailed or called. They were very kind and professional. I asked for the old fence panels (all of the 4’ sections) to be left as we were going to reuse for another project And although some were left for us not all of them were. Overall, great people to work with and I would recommend.
Outstanding company! I had certain criteria for a privacy fence. That, and the location made me feel certain there would be compromises, I expected loss of shrubbery, that I would hear why something couldn’t be done, that a lot would be required of me and that there would be pain.

Outstanding company! I had certain criteria for a privacy fence. That, and the location made me feel certain there would be compromises, I expected loss of shrubbery, that I would hear why something couldn’t be done, that a lot would be required of me and that there would be pain. I experienced none of this when Diego with Specialty Fence arrived to quote the job. When I pointed out the location Diego told me that would not be an issue. When I told Diego I wanted the fence to be as ‘solid’ as code will allow, he provided me with the perfect style. I said I guess we would need to tear up plants. He said we'll see. So, then I told him I wanted the fence slammed to the ground. Diego told me then that’s the way I’ll have it. The whole encounter was pleasant, lighthearted and comfortable. There was no pain, at all. Back at their office, Eliza is wonderful! I felt at ease right away. I was told all required paperwork and the permit would be managed by their company and so it was. Eliza was right. I had little to do but pick the design. The end result? The fence is not only stunning but very private as well. And with minimal shrubbery loss! The install crew managed to 'weave' the fence through an existing lilac patch. I have to mention the crew is fantastic. How well the trucks carrying the fence materials and tools are organized is amazing. The pride of work is outstanding. The whole operation is simply outstanding. I look forward to future projects with Specialty Fence. Yes, I mention the name again. It is well deserving. (Note: The pictures show the fence a few days later, after the landscaper planted a few arborvitae in front). Less

Fence installation was amazing! However, if the follow up was a little better; I would give it 5 stars. I had to keep calling every week leading up to being on the schedule rather than getting a call back to give me an update from the permit to the schedule date. All in all the work was done efficiently and they got it done in a timely manner.
Friendly office staff. Very quick and respectful work crew who will work with you on making your vision a reality. Great team all around.
Friendly and hardworking.
Great fence, good price, and on time as promised
While it took much longer to get the project started due to Covid, once they got here they worked quickly and efficiently They were friendly and did a very nice job.
Excellent work, fence looks great.
I was very pleased with overall service and work. I was very impressed by the professionalism as well as the end result. They were very quick in booking me and getting my fence complete. I would highly recommend to anyone!
Elisa was great to work with! Quickly to respond to my emails and Diego who was in charge of installation was friendly. They worked quickly and efficiently, with a beautiful cedar fence as the result of their hard work. I have already recommended to friends and neighbors!
My entire experience with Specialty Fence from initial contact to completion of installation of my fence was seamless. My fence looks wonderful. Should have done years ago.
Very happy with Specialty Fence..Efficient, friendly and personalized customer service. And the fence looks awesome.
I was very happy with the work done by Specialty Fence.. it was done quickly but professionally.. when one man was doing a one man job, the other did a different one man job..no one stood around . they even saw some nail pops and pounded them in.The price was reasonable for the work done.
They did a fantastic job! I love my new fence. Very helpful from start to end.

But after a year of back and forth and having to call them back to repair, replace, clean up, finish, schedule, I decide to research this business and was extremely disappointed as to what I discovered with yelp reviews, FB reviews, and with the BBB public web site Numerous times we had to clean up after them, call them back for repairs and to this day a year later they didn't clean the dirt and debris from the first side of the fence they put up. And today they will be returning again! To replace and/or repair the fence. With their so called GOOD REPUTATION. ((as I have read many other complaints that she has done this)) I didn't think I needed to inspect every inch of 300 feet of the final fence, being they came back in past to replace and repair for the SAME THING of the other three sides. And to my surprise this is what I found on the 4th side. Here are a few photos and a screen shot of the BBB page on them and their Google website that says they are an accredited BBB business A+ rated. Here is proof. I added photos in the "SEE PHOTOS" section if they are not removed. Less

I was very pleased with the results and workmanship. You do quality work. Thank you
Specialty Fence is an excellent contractor to work with. They are knowledgeable and help you to make the best decisions about your fencing needs. They pay attention to details, like scheduling, clean up up the job well and are real craftsmen in the installation. The fence materials are high quality. I recommend for the best fencing job!.
Highly recommend! Very professional and reasonably priced!
Speciality fence has been fantastic!! Great prices,excellent workmanship,wonderful staff. I would recommend this company to anyone interested in purchasing a fence.
Did a great job, beat their competitor's estimates. We had to reschedule due to flooding and Elisa got us scheduled in as soon as the ground dried up. I would definitely use them again.
Specialty Fence is fantastic! Everyone involved, including Melody, Elisa, Mario, and crew, were all knowledgeable and friendly. Mario and his crew took the time to make sure the job was done right. I recommend Specialty to anyone looking for a quality fence installation.
Elisa and her crew were outstanding. I had requested heights and form to our fences and they exceeded my expectations and that's not easy. Elisa communicated well and went above and beyond to get the permits we needed. Elisa and her crew deserves 6 stars!
Specialty Fence just completed a fence in our backyard. They did an AMAZING job. I couldn't be happier with the work they did. They were very easy to work with and very prompt with responding to our inquiries. Thank you to this company.

Specialty Fence was told and shown where the wood fence was to be installed. The lead installer placed a 62 ft. section where HE thought it should go, not where the homeowner told and showed them and was PAYING for. The "owner" of the company came to discuss the issue, turns out he was the lead installer. The homeowner was told if it was that important where the fence gets installed, paint lines for the crew. They refused to fix the problem. Also, the crew cut the AT&T cable line. They left water bottles strewn about and nails and wood chunks on the ground. Company rep stated if given a good review, the warranty would be extended, so a good review may just be someone trying to salvage what they can from making a horrible mistake in hiring this company.

Specialty Fence installed our fence on a nice day in February and we are just thrilled with it!!! The materials are high quality and installation was smooth and very professional. Super nice work! Thank you guys!
Awesome Job!! We did our research and had about 6 different companies come out for a quote. Specialty Fence beat everyone's price! They were here for one full day and worked late! Came back the next day for about an hour and our fence was done!! Thank You Guys!!! ❤
