Lisa Maggiore2022-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with FC Fence. They were quick to communicate, very friendly, provided excellent customer service, and their work is excellent. We had an iron fence with a gate installed in front of the house and prior to scheduling the work Fernando came out twice to make sure all the details of the design were exactly what we wanted. He also repaired an existing iron fence and gate. He was always on time, friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. The gate and fence are perfect. His daughter who coordinates the office was extremely friendly and professional. We highly recommend this company if you're looking for a new fence.

These are guys are very professional and did it in one day. Best of all, they are very friendly and the office lady is just as nice. Noel Boiser2020-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional, worked fast and cleanly. Fence is great, but I hope it will last. LaMoe Distor2017-12-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This business replaced the fence on the side of my home 3 years ago. The price was fair and he worked quickly, cleanly, and efficiently. He also hauled the old fence away. This fence has not swayed in the fierce Santa Ana winds. The recent winds knocked a panel out of my back fence (not done by this company). I emailed them on Saturday evening, received and estimate Sunday afternoon, and it was repaired on Monday. After 2 well done jobs, this company is my go to company!
