Fremont Fence

If I could give these fools no stars I would. But I guess a negative review will do. Whatever you do stay away from this company. Especially the dumbass Guy that does estimates «Matthew Alvernaz» stupid ass was suppose to give me an estimate 2 weeks ago and I still haven’t received it. I called the office and his dumbass left the papers in the office that had all the measurements BUT without a PRICE!!! What a moron… how are the girls in the office suppose to do their job if you don’t do YOURS… someone please FIRE this idiot !!!

I used Fremont Fence to install my backyard fence and replace an old retaining wall i had in my front yard. I had called around for prices and Fremont Fence was competitive with other companies, their prices were fair. I decided to go with them because my father in law had recommended them. Fremont Fence had replaced one of his fences and he was happy with their work. I schedule a date for the work and they arrived on time and finished the work in the promise time. The fence and retaining wall came out great. Both my self and neighbor were happy with the fence. I will use them again.

Late last year winds damaged part of my fence. Contacted the favored Fremont fence and Newark fence. They both sent out estimators and the quoted price was identical. Newark estimator spent more time showing all the issues with our fence and recommended that I replace the whole fence instead of just the broken part. Fremont folks were like — this is what you want, here you go. Chose to go with Fremont fence because I wasn’t sure about Newark’s recommendation (i.e. were they upselling). Fremont was good with email communication — fast responses, but see below.
Scheduled a time but nobody showed up. I called to find out what was going on. I was told that the repair person was sent to jury duty, but I wasn’t told about this. Since I had to go the hospital, I asked them to come after 1 PM, but Rudy & his asst showed up at 11! So, didn’t like the part about poor communication and change of schedule. This is not good at all.
Cannot complain about their work. Rudy did a thorough job of replacing the fence pieces and it looks well done.
Recommend that they improve their communication to keep the customers informed of changes.

Fremont Fence did a good job for a decent price. The company sent out an estimator who was very detail-​oriented, and broke down exactly how much each part of my fence replacement would cost, and how long the crew would take to do the work. They were also prompt in sending the estimator out again, when I wanted to make a change to the job; I had forgotten to include the decaying 9ft fence in the back in my original request.
When the crew arrived, they sure worked fast! The old «fence» in front (a terrible DIY fence from a prior owner), and the fence in back, were removed and replaced within 4 hours. They did a good job on building a gate for me, and it has a nice big lockable latch on it. The crew did a good job keeping my house clean as they worked, and they cleaned up well afterward. I definitely have confidence in the fence lasting a while.
The only thing I can really ding them on is communication. I originally had a Tuesday appointment, but because of the rain on Monday, they were running behind on a job. They had to cancel on Tuesday and move the job to Wednesday. This is understandable, but no one called me to let me know. I waited at home for several hours for no reason. To their credit, they did call to let me know when the job had to be rescheduled again (to Thursday).
The crew didn’t knock on the door or let me know when they arrived. They just went to work, which is commendable, but what if I had dogs or kids in the back yard? A quick knock on the door or ringing of the doorbell would have been appreciated.
Overall, would recommend Fremont Fence. Their bid was not the lowest, but they do good work.

Fremont fence did a very good job on my wood fence at a very affordable price and was able to do it within a tight schedule

Very professional. They did a good job and had reasonable prices. We had a sapling near the fence that we didn’t want them stepping over. They were very careful not to hurt it. They were the least intrusive and got the job done quickly.

We called them out for an estimate on a good neighbor split rail fence and had the new fence installed the next day for a very resonable price. They send out a crew and had it done in 2 – 3 hours max. I love these guys, they are so professional and experts at what they do. I highly recommend them. Keep local businesses afloat and in the tri city area.

I just called & started asking about Raymond L.‘s review on 1÷8÷15 — She said I have not read it & I have to put you on hold! ! !

I made an appoint a week before today, I have to leave work early today and no one show up at my appointment for quote. I tried to call the company and found out my estimator is in Oakland. Would you trust this type of company confirm appointment to give estimate and no show and no phone call? It’s up for you to decide if you would hire this company to do your fence.

Highly recommended. The fence & gate are top notch quality. There were a few snafus during the construction but they were satisfactorily remedied.
The gate hardware is very heavy duty. They put in a nearly 14′ double gate and did so without using a metal post. I had 5 bids and every other contractor insisted on using metal posts for anything beyond 10′. And the metal posts are very expensive. To accommodate for the larger swing, the put in 6“x6″ pressure treated posts and set them very deep into the ground.
One other thing regarding the gate. The contractors demanding on putting in metal posts scoffed at the idea of putting in wood posts. But interestingly, their warranties were for just a few years. Fremont has a 15-​year warranty on their gates, which surprised them. That’s at least 10 years longer than the longest warranty of the others. I feel much better about the gate because of that warranty.
The overall workmanship and quality were excellent. I have four other shared fences around my yard and this one by far is the highest quality and I estimate will last much longer than the others. They used very thick boards, 16′ top rails and nice looking posts.
As with probably any fence installer, I would highly recommend being at the site as much as you can while they are building the fence. There were a few times when the workers weren’t building the fence per the contract and I was there to correct it. It was nice that there was an English speaking supervisor.
Additionally, their cost was the lowest of all the fence contractors that gave me estimates mostly because they didn’t require metal posts. So again, I’m very pleased with the fence and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody.

very flexible for appointments and free estimate. my neighbor and i agreed to split the cost of the fence dividing our propetties that was blown down from the winter 2012 storms. Matt was very professional and even rounded down on the quote for a small discount. took about 1 work day for the fence replacement. was very satisfied with the work. A++++

In July of ’13, my neighbor and I agreed to share the cost of the fence dividing our properties and got 3 bids from competing companies, but we put off booking the project for a few weeks. When I finally called each of the bidders to see when they could start, Fremont Fence said ‘tomorrow’ was available due to a last minute cancelation, so we booked it.
The team finished the fence (including removal of the old one) in less than 8 hours! The guys were fast and professional, the quality of the wood was superior, and the fence is as straight as an arrow for all 66 feet of it. And excellent service from the office staff, including that they billed each neighbor separately, which made it easy.
The guys spoke Spanish much better than English, which another reviewer complained about. I have no issue with that, these guys know how to build a fence. My only issue is that the fence follows the natural curve at the front of the property rather than being stepped down in a few small increments, but that’s just me being picky. The fence still looks great after 1−½ years and remains solid as a rock — even with all this rain.

I just had Fremont Fence replace a fence between my neighbor and I and they also did an arbor over a gate for me. I obtained two bids for the work. They understood my requirements and had a significantly lower cost bid. They were quiet clean polite and professional! The fence looks great. My arbor looks great too and it is at the front of my house so the appearance was important and it stabilizes my gate! They exceeded my expectations for the cost! They placed my posts in metal brackets set in concrete with 6X6 posts at the ends for additional stability. The fence is sturdy and well built. Thanks Fremont Fence.

Very unhappy with Fremont Fence, we have had them do our fences for 44 yrs. the last time was inferior work as the cement was not done right and fence is leaning. matt came out and said it would cost 400.00 for 1 post and new cement. Said he would have Henry call us.3 weeks now and never a call from anyone. I cld and lady said it would cost 400.00 as that is there minimum, Told her we would never use them again. very poor service. I guess they think it ok to take advantage of senior citizens. thanks Henry.

We’ve been doing some of that dreaded home maintenance of late, so I’ve dealt with a number of estimators, contractors, and work staff. Fremont Fence outshines them all.
Seriously. And I’m a particular cuss — as you can tell from my other Unilocal.These guys are terrific.
It began with the estimator (Henry), who was polite, courteous and knowledgeable — and not at all afraid to climb down the slope to see just what needed to be done in a particularly difficult area. He emailed me the estimate within 24 hours; a clear diagram of the (several) areas that needed to be replaced, with the prices of each section.
The estimate was very near to another fencing company that «everybody recommends» — and frankly, it was this fellow’s attitude that sold me. At the time, though, I said … «Of course he’s not the one who’ll be installing it. But if the company hires such good staff, I’m hopeful.»
When we decided to go ahead with the work, the woman I spoke with one the phone was also knowledgeable and pleasant (I don’t have her name, sorry). Even though nearly a month had passed, she quickly found the attendant paperwork and was able to speak intelligently about the work we needed done. AND she was able to schedule the removal and replacement within the next week. So far, so good.
Then the removal/​installer crew arrived. They were TREMENDOUS. Amazingly efficient, super-​polite, and the finished product looks GREAT. Unlike other contractors, they picked up and removed ALL of the debris, there wasn’t so much as a bent nail or wood chip left behind. And there was a tricky bit over on the slope — that, too, was done expertly. Oh, and the entire job was completed in less than TWO days.
It is a rare — and grand! — delight to be able to post such a sterling review and to deal with such a great company.
