Report
There is nothing worse than seeing a really nice business or company that offers solid service, employs a great crew, yet sits with a dull and lifeless presentation. That is what a business front is, after all. The company presents itself to the world in how it looks when people walk or drive by. With that in mind, what is it that the business there is saying to everyone?
Residential
Report
The other very important thing to keep firmly in mind is that Century Fence Company also repairs existing residential fences. There is a good chance that if the fence on the property now is in some state of disrepair that we can fix it. Not only that, but we can do so with quality materials that will hold up for a long, long time.
Installation
Report
Clients in Austin, Texas, often ask our fence company what goes into a project for Century Fence Company. We've decided to compile a step-by-step guide to give both current and potential clients a better idea of what we do when it comes to installing our popular wooden fences.

We had a 20+ year old fence that was sagging badly and dry rotting. Micheal responded very quickly and was able to give a quote within a week, I thought I wanted a certain type of fence installed and he was honest with me and told me that it would be more expensive, heavier (more prone to sagging) and harder to mow around, I really appreciated his expertise and guidance.

I decided on a straight line fence with cedar pickets with pine crossbeams and steel posts and the fence looks fantastic! Dennis and his crew did a fantastic job, showed up on time and everything is straight and level, I've already recommended them to several people.

The two guys that installed the wooden fence were not very professional and they took the short, easy route of installation. Instead of pulling up the old, wooden posts, they sawed them off at ground level. Overall, the fence is nice, but I would never use this company again.

I highly recommend Century Fence. Mike was very responsive and provided a timely and competitive price. Dennis and the install team did a great job on the fence and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will use Century Fence for all my future fence projects.

I appreciate the prompt replacement of our 22 year old privacy fence. We opted for the horizontal cedar and are quite pleased with the outcome. Mike was quick to respond with a reasonable quote and the work was completed ahead of schedule. The workmen were friendly and very careful with cleaning up all debris from old fence. I whole heartedly recommend Century Fence form your fencing needs!

Contacted Century Fence because I saw one of there completed projects on a major street. Mike was our consultant. Dennis was our project manager. Both individuals provided the expertise and knowledge that ultimately resulted in our decision to use them. Our horizontal fence looks better than I expected. The gates are clean, squared, and seem like they are built to last. Thanks, Century Fence!

Best fence company in Central Texas! Straight forward pricing and excellent customer service. They care about establishing a quality relationship with their customer and then give you an excellent product!

Really happy dealing with Michael Keels and the team at Century Fence. We called them to estimate a number of different projects from a broken porch railing (yikes) to a deck repair job plus installing some fence to match the existing neighbor's fence. Their pricing is fair and they are responsive which is not the case with every fence contractor in Austin that we called!

These guys were great, they were quick to respond to my inquiry about an estimate. They got me the quote the next day and I was able to get my fence replaced quickly after that. The workmanship is spot on and the best part about it was the awesome communication prior to starting the job and keeping me informed on what to expect

I never write reviews but Michael's lack of professionalism has inspired me. When I told Michael the freon line for our air conditioner was damaged he didn't show any concern. When I told him the HVAC guys thought that one of several contractors could have caused the damage including, the painter, fence company, deck installer siding installer or electrician and all of those contractors agreed to split the cost of fixing the freon and would he be willing to pay a portion he didn't respond.

When I deducted $199 (a fraction of the amount) from his invoice and said if he didn't agree with this he could email me his rationale and I would forward it to the other contractors who would split his amount among them he told me "I never agreed to this, $199 is still the balance that is due. If not paid in full Monday our legal team will be filing a lean on the property." He has been disconcertingly aggressive and unprofessional throughout all interactions with him. I can't strongly enough advise that you DON'T HIRE this company.

I loved how my horizontal cedar fence turned out with Century. They were able to come out to my house and give a customized quote and explain all of my options. I didn't feel pressured to go with upgraded materials yet was able to create a very quality design on a moderate budget. I would highly recommend using them!

I've used Century twice (in 2013 and 2018) and have had positive experiences both times. The price is not the cheapest or the most expensive, but the quality of work is fantastic. They use high quality materials and processes and avoid cutting corners. They also explained the differences between the types of fencing and allowed me to come to my own conclusion about the best fit for me. I personally chose metal posts, cedar pickets, 3 crossbeams as well as screws vs. nails. Highly recommend them!

Dennis and brother did an amazing job on two of my projects. Much lower prices than the competitors and done in rapid speed.

They are without a doubt the worst. Excellent work yes, but one year later the shoddy materials they used are all falling apart, boards loaded with knots all falling out. $5700 wasted on a sham.

So happy with the whole experience. Mike came out and gave us a great quote. Not only the best price (by far), but also the best quality materials, and a thoroughly detailed description of what we were getting for the money. The crew showed up as scheduled, were friendly, and completed the work on time. Now we have a great looking fence that will last for many years to come! We would definitely use Century Fence again!

They did a good job, but hit a plumbing line I had no idea was there as I had just moved into the house. Unfortunate and there's a line item in the contract that makes it your issue rather than having company insurance cover it. So, just be aware if you don't know your plumbing lines it could be an expensive repair for you if they hit a sewage line.

The work was done in a timely manner and everyone was very nice. They had to do a few changes due to the fact that I have a horrible sense of how many feet of fence I needed having just purchased the house, but they added to the original plan (adding appropriate costs) but managed to get it all done that same day.

The whole process with Century Fence could be summed up in one word: easy. From the online quote (which was very accurate and quick) to the crew working quickly and efficiently, the whole process was easy. The crew even dealt with our nightmare neighbors! On top of all of this, their pricing was easily the best that I found (and I did a lot of shopping around) and the fence looks GREAT. I couldn't recommend Century Fence enough, I'm not sure why anyone would get a fence done through someone else!

We received bids from three different local, prominently advertising fence companies and Century's was the least expensive and the most thorough. Mike was very patient with our questions, and Dennis was a great communicator and let us know exactly what to expect. The fence was installed in two days, in advance of the original target date, and far exceeds our expectations. I highly recommend Century Fence Company, not only for the price but the quality of workmanship.

I have known Michael for over 20 years, and have built a personal and business relationship with him. It is rare that a relationship lasts this long, and it has because he is honest, fair, and just an all around good guy. This translates to his business as you would expect. He operates the fence company with respect, fairness, knowledge, and follow through with the responsibility of a business owner who will be around for a very long time.

I have worked with Michael in a professional capacity, and have learned that he runs his business with stability, wise choices, and financial prudence, which is what allows companies like this to be around to install the fence in your first home, your second home, and your retirement home. If you have any interest in having a fence built, make sure Michael is your first call for an estimate, and your last call when choosing a contractor. You will be satisfied with your choice for years to come. - Logan

Century Fence built my fence in two days and their quote was lower than several other contractors w/ no sacrifice to quality as far as I can tell. They used three supporting cross beams on 6 inch Cedar pickets and pressure-treated pine wooden posts. I'll check back in a year to let y'all know if I am still as happy as when I wrote this, but as of right now, I just don't see how they could have possibly done a better job. FYI: I worked with Mike and Dennis. Mike came by and gave me the quote and Dennis and his team worked on the fence.

Great overall experience with Century Fence. Mike came out on time to give a very competitive quote. When it came time for the install, Dennis and his crew did a great job and everything was done on time and according to plan. The whole process was very smooth.

Easy to work with and by far the most well built fence in the neighborhood. Century does not scrimp on high quality materials and the crew was efficient and professional. On top of it all, they had the best price of the 5 companies I received quotes from. Would definitely use again and recommend to others!

We are very happy with our new privacy fence from Century. The fence is beautiful and we are receiving many compliments from friends and neighbors. Century responded to our request quickly, Michael showed up in person when scheduled and had an estimate prepared the next day. Dennis and crew did a great job with the install, everyone involved was pleasant and professional. They also provided the lowest cost of 3 Austin contractors and the job was completed in 2 days just 1 week from our initial meeting with Michael. Great Job Guys!

This is an updated review and response to the owner's comment below: Mike, I'm shocked and disappointed you would blatantly lie about this situation in a public forum. First, I did not hollow out any of the holes in the fence--that's crazy! I would not purposefully damage my own fence for any reason and it's beneath you to fabricate such lies to rationalize the poor quality of your wood.

I brought the holes to Dennis' attention while he was still installing the fence. I called you immediately afterward. We have since found a number of knots that were about to fall out and have glued them in with wood glue. Kind of sounds like you knew there were problems with the wood and decided to blame that on me. Unbelievable. Second, I did not promise not to write a bad review--this topic never came up in our conversations. Third, I did not apologize to Dennis.

The apology from another household member had nothing to do with the poor quality of your product but rather to her reaction when she found out you offered the old fencing on Craig's list without our knowledge and consent. The idea that strangers would come to our home to haul away wood we paid you to remove was shocking to her and she reacted how one might imagine.

She only apologized later because she is a good person and is willing to take responsibility for her own actions. You both could learn from her. I thought you were a person of integrity who at least attempted to make things right. While replacing 30 pickets myself is not my idea of fun, especially when I paid you to install them, I appreciated your offer and told you as much.

The fact that you can't accept responsibility for the quality of your materials and use this information to improve your business is certainly disappointing. I gave you two stars initially because you attempted, in a small way, to make things right. Obviously my score needs to be amended down to one.

Great service, and very straight-forward quoting and pricing. I was a little tentative about one of the solutions to getting around a large tree on the property line, but Dennis ensured me it would look great. He was right, and I'm definitely glad I trusted his experience in building great-looking fences.

Updated review. 4/8/17 - Mike finally called me back - only because of my Yelp review. He did explain that his company, although they reportedly do repairs, they also have minimums in place that require at least five new posts. He is the owner, and this is a business decision so I can respect that. However, he said that since my call was after 5 p.m. and went to voicemail, he does not check after hours calls. Personally, I am not sure why a business would have voicemail if they do not plan to check it, but maybe that is just me. So if you want to be a customer - just make sure to call him between 8-5 or do not expect a return call. If you do get a hold of him, he will do a good job for you.

I've used Century on a couple different projects. The pricing is hard to beat and the quality was great. I will use them again in the future.

Great service! From quote to finish, they were very professional and on time (which for construction of any kind is a miracle). The quality and security enhancements that come with the regular pricing was a decision factor and I wasn't disappointed.

I shopped around for several quotes and settled on Century Fence because--- 1) communication is great 2) they work with you to get a competitive quote when you have other offers 3) the reviews on here were great! I had a standard cedar fence put up to replace the one that was falling apart due to the cedar posts rotting in the ground. Century Fence's standard is to set them in concrete so that they aren't exposed to wet soil all the time, and they use pine posts by default, which are less prone to rot.

I chose cedar pickets because they are less prone to warping over time (though they are a bit more costly). All in all, we got all the kinks worked out, and the fence was built well, with high-quality screws instead of nails, prompt service, clean-up and professionalism. I'd recommend them to anybody shopping around for a fair, honest and competitive fence builder!
