Ability Fence

Wanted to take a moment to give a shoutout to Dave and David at Ability Fencing.
We originally hired Dave to replace our ugly chainlink that was bent over and mangled from sitting through 30+ years of floods and add some new fencing on the side yard. When he came to give a quote, he suggested we keep the existing fencing and try to salvage as much as we could. I was skeptical that he would be able to salvage anything, but sure enough, he ended up replacing only several broken posts. And using all of the existing chainlink. He worked through lots of Ivy and blackberry bushes and even kindly FILLED THE HOLES my dogs had dug with the dirt from digging new post holes! He is a good dude with great work ethic and saved us a ton of money.
Only downside, he’s always booked out a month or two!

Called the guy he came out gave a quote, said he was 6 weeks out on being able to build a fence. I told him to pencil me in 6 weeks out and I would get back to him. I had other guys coming to quote so I called him a week and a half later straight to voice mail, no return call. Called again the next day, straight to voice mail and no call back, so I would not recommend someone this unreliable. I gave two stars instead of one because the price I was quoted was reasonable.

Dave builds the best fences in Snoqualmie period. He built my fence a year ago and it has held up amazingly well, despite the crazy winds on the Ridge. Our next door neighbors had Dave build their fence 7+ years ago and it still looks like new. The couple times I’ve had issues with a gate or board cracking due to natural causes, Dave has immediately come by to fix the problem. I’ve recommended him to my friends, and they’ve had equally excellent experiences. Can’t recommend this guy enough for your fence needs.

We had David install 177 feet of 4′ galvanized woven wire mesh «horse fence» around our backyard this week. The main purpose of the fence is to keep our escape artist Jack Russell Terrier in the yard. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. He made very sure the fence was as close to the ground as possible with no gaps to entice our little Houdini. I have to say, the fence came out better than I thought and exceeded my expectations. We have other neighbors with horse fencing and really there’s no comparison. Ours looks perfectly straight, the mesh is pulled taught and fastened securely and to top it off, he added post caps to give it that extra professional touch. I’m so glad we chose David and his company Ability Fence. We have some fencing on two other sides of the yard that look totally unprofessional in comparison. I can recommend Ability Fence without reservation!

Dave and his team recently installed 6′ cedar fencing for our yard, plus three of our adjacent neighbors’ yards at the same time. He mapped out all four yards for us and provided the price breakdown for each yard, then billed each property separately. The fence looks great. The price was reasonable. The job was completed relatively quickly after we first contacted him. Dave was professional and patient throughout the process. Yay, Dave!

My hat is off to David over at Ability Fence. He recently installed about 336 linear feet of 6′ Cedar privacy fence at my recently acquired home in North Bend. He worked extraordinarily well within our time constraints, and was an absolute gentleman throughout the process (something I cannot say for some of the other folks I’ve dealt with rehabbing this house).
When I first contacted David, he was pretty busy. He knew I needed the fence (for my aging cat to be able to play outside without fear of being picked off by coyotes, as well as a place for my dog to frolic to his hearts content) pretty quick, so he made some sacrifices to get it done. He came out in the evening and sank posts. And then, after discovering the line he sank the posts in was infringing on my neighbors property line, he came back out pulled them and re-​sank them, all with a smile on his face (well as much as could be expected under the circumstances.
He installed 4 gates, only charging me for three, and also added a large removable panel (at my request) at no extra cost. He was upfront about his charges, and when the final invoice came there were zero surprises. Plus the fence looks great! He is a tiny bit more expensive than some other fencers I got bids from (not terribly) however in the end I believe he was less overall because of his willingness to do a couple extra things without adding to the cost of the bid. Plus, he just seemed really trustworthy and like the kind of person you would want to do business with. For me, rapport is huge, and feeling like I’m working with someone who takes pride in what they do is invaluable.
I would certainly recommend David at Ability Fence for your next fence, big or small, you will not be sorry!
