Alki Fence

First off the receptionist spoke awful english and Im not sure she understood everything I was saying to her.
My 3:00 appointment never showed, only to tell me «oh we meant «between» 3 – 4 which I never would have said okay to.
So Duke called around 3:35 and I drove back to the site.
He seemed a bit uninterested in what we were saying, wrote some stuff down and said he would get us a bid by tomorrow.
That was FIVE days ago.
This company is perfect for people who want their time wasted.

Alki Fence did a wonderful and speedy job matching some existing fence, adding a gate, and adding some railings to a deck. They worked hard, cleaned up their debris, and cheerfully made a few changes that I requested. I would recommend them to anyone and use them again myself!

Alki Fence was much less expensive than the other quotes I received when we replaced our fence four years ago. Shame on me for not doing more research. You get what you pay for!
After one year our gates did not work. I called at thirteen months and was told the warrantee was for one year, but since it was thirteen months they would send someone out. They fixed the hardware by attaching a wire to the latch. Needless to say the fix did not work.
After two year the fence began to lean and finally this year a major portion blew over in our November storm. I made three calls to Aki Fence to get a quote to fix the fence. I even talked to someone once, however they never called me back to make an appointment to fix the fence. Suffice to say we are now paying over $ 2,500 to a different contractor to fix a four year old fence.
Alki Fence is very prompt about building our new fence and they did leave the area clean. I would recommend them if you want a temporary fence. However, if you want a fence that will last, save yourself some money and go with the more expensive quote. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Duke was one of 4 differeent quotes we got on a new fence in our backyard. His quote was dramatically less costly then the rest and the project was bidded in total vs piece by piece from some of the others.
I went with Duke’s quote — they came out, took the old out and put the new in quickly. They were clean and efficient;I love my new fence! I’d highly recommend Alki Fence for fences. It’s been a month since the new fence and we are so happy with our decision.

We had Duke come out and give a quote for replacing part of our fence. His quote was a lot less than Lowes. We thought it over for a few days and decided to schedule the install.
I’m super happy with the work they did and would recommend them to anyone!

We are very happy with the instulation of our fences. They were fast and the work looks great. They also were more than 50% less then the competition!!!

My driveway gate was pretty old and after all the winter storms it was time to be replaced. Alki Fence was the second place I called and they came in far lower than the first estimate I had.
Estimate on Saturday, work done on Wednesday morning, gate is perfect. I did dock one star because the cleanup was not great, including several nails left in my driveway on either side of the gate, not great for doggy feet or tires.
I am happy with the work and will have Alki Fence replace my entire fence when I can afford it! Great price, great work.

i needed a fence for my backyard. well, the main reason i went with these guys was the great reviews here. i will not be recommending them to ANYONE.
pros:
1. Duke showed up on time to give the estimate
2. he came back a few days later to sit down with me and finalize a design plan
3. his bid came in way below the competition, by almost half
cons:
1. the posts were set in huge, ugly mounds of concrete that i had to have them come back and chip away at to make them less hideously huge (i held onto their payment until they did that)
2. when they stained the fence they also stained the concrete, the gate hardware, the plants, the grass…
3. my backyard terrain is uneven and there are large enough gaps along the bottom for squirrels and a neighborhood cat to get under it and into my yard, as well as for my dog to have a head start to dig his way out
so now i have to go and staple chicken wire all along the bottom, cover the gaps with something, and figure out a way to keep anything from getting in (and OUT) of my goddamn new fence!!!

Based on the other reviews I read and an older estimate from the folks I’d used to replace my backyard fence a couple years ago, I decided to give Alki a call about fencing in the (large) front yard of my (not very large) corner lot; I was suspicious that all I’d seen were glowing reviews that mentioned how much cheaper they were. Duke came out to do an estimate the next day for a 4′ hurricane fence with three gates, we went over options, and he quoted a price that was a little over half what the other guys has suggested. I was really sceptical, but after thinking about it for a couple weeks I called to schedule the installation; they said they could start in a week and a half and that it would take two days.
Day one, a Friday, arrived, and the installers were early. They spent an hour measuring the site and planning the job, then confirmed with me in pretty serious detail about whether their plans matched up with what I wanted. When I gave the go ahead, they got down to work trimming back two trees and digging post holes, and were done installing the fence posts by early afternoon.
Day two, a Saturday, got me a call from Duke — the weather had been rainy the day before and was still pretty damp, and he was worried that the concrete hadn’t had enough time to set, and so he was rescheduling the rest of the work to Monday. I was cranky, since I’d been looking forward to the fence pretty hard, but decided he was probably right. And it’s just as well — late Sunday night a drunk driver plowed through the yard and tore down a few of the fence posts and ran into a retaining wall. Ouch.
Day two take two, the installers arrived and gaped at the damage, then set to work, replacing the broken/​missing poles and attaching the fence and gates, with a warning to not use the driveway gate for a day or two since some of the poles around it had been re-​installed. Again, they were done by afternoon, and the fence looked freaking outstanding. There were a couple metal bits left, some cut-​off fence post tops and one wire wrap, but nothing horrible; they’d left some wire wrap material in the lock holes in the gates for us as well. Our dogs probably love the new fence more than we do: after sniffing the hell out of it, they sent fifteen minutes running around like cracked-​out six year olds. Awesome.
Duke came by the next day to give me the damage — exactly what he’d estimated, plus just $ 50, not a lot over the cost of materials, to replace the damaged poles. He also asked if he could put up a (tiny) Alki Fence sign on the fence for advertising. Hells yeah, Duke. Hells yeah.
The fence looks great, our dogs can run around in something bigger than our tiny cramped backyard, and we can lock the neighbour kids out so they don’t leave trash in our yard and sled down our yard when it snows. Win!

I have drooled over my fair share of home improvement show on HGTV. I have ooOOOooo and awwwWeee when they make dramatic transformations by just painting a few walls and making a plywood bookshelf. But I have to say I have never experienced a transformation quite like our new fence by Alki fence.
Our new fence has extended the usable boundaries of our home and I love it. It is so beautiful, well constructed and completely utterly functional. Alki fence did a fabulous job and they were the most affordable estimate out of all the fence companies we looked at.
We had originally thought that we might build our own fence but after seeing Alki fence putting up our fence, I was so thankful we decided to hire professionals. They built our fence with details and preciseness that we would of struggled over. Now it is perfect, done and ready to enjoy. Money well spent in my opinion.
Update: I am a little upset that they left nails everywhere in our lawn. We have pets and I am so afraid that one of them get one in their paw. I have picked up A LOT of nails from our yard– not cool.
