Highly recommended. Foremost was the most affordably priced quote I received from over a half dozen fencing companies in the area. They were quick to respond, accurate with their estimate, flexible with their start date to accommodate my schedule, on time to begin work, courteous and professional while on site, completed on time, and their work was excellent.

On top of all of that there was a small mix-up in communication regarding my ranch fences (my fault) and Foremost not only made it right, but did so without impact to the schedule or plan. The vinyl ranch fencing they carry is the most robust material that I've seen, and more hardy than anything that other local companies provided. The end result is ~560 linear feet of 4 rail on the street and 3 rail on my interior paddocks that came out great. I'll 100% be using them again to do the rest of the fencing on my property when the time comes to reconfigure the other paddocks.

Showed up on time for estimate. Pleasant answered all questions. If he didn't know he said he didn't know. After bid was signed. They reached out. We scheduled and we had to change date they accommodate us twice. Needed to make changes. Worked with us on price and placement. Installers showed up on time did great work. Got rained out one half day yet finished on time. Work was clean and efficient and job looks great.

Just had my second fence installed with this company. Totally satisfied with everything. I ordered the fence a while back and at that time they had the best price. Installation was delayed because of some drain issues with my yard. They installed today and the fence is great. I definitely recommend Foremost.

Was able to install before original estimated date which we were thrilled about. They were efficient, installed exactly what we needed, and it looks great. Service:Installation

Sadly when there are problems like hitting a sprinkler line you dont respond at all. Owner ignores calls. You started putting posts in the ground without requesting marking of anything. I simply asked for reimbursement of my cost to repair- could not get a call back after 5 calls- poor customer service

I don't usually leave reviews, but I will make an exception for this company. When I had the fence installed about two years ago, the install was poor at best! One of the panels had visible damage, the gates were uneven and crooked, the installers left card board boxes, plastic wrap, beer cans and other garbage scattered throughout my backyard and they cut the main water line to the house.

The installers turned the water off to the house and never let us know. ANYTHING! I had to call the office and make them aware of all this. I was told that installer had every intention to come back the next day and resolve the issue. REALLY! The next day! Not to mention they were going to let a fence installer play plumber on the main water line to my home.

I had to take out of my time to call a plumber, ( not Foremost Fence ) and was charged emergency prices to have the water line repaired. -Present day-. My neighbor caused damage to my fence by hitting it with their trailer, so I thought, it would be a good idea to have the original company who installed it at least give me an estimate for repair. I called Foremost and scheduled an appointment which was for the next day at 2:00 pm in which I had taken a half a day off from work to make this happen.

No call- no show. I called Foremost to find an explanation. I was met with un professional disdain and rude behavior! Ultimately, I was hung up on. I can understand if I was cursing, yelling or insulting, but that is not me nor the case. I called back and spoke with the owner of Foremost Jim. Jim said that the only thing he could do now is apologize and start over. Not, I will find out who hung up on you, no, instead it was, I don't know who did unless you can give me their name so what do you want to do?

Yeah right Jim, your company is so massive you're like Microsoft. Impossible to figure out who answered what call. More like, I already have the eight grand for the original fence so a repair doesn't matter. If you are thinking about hiring this company for your project and investment. I would think about my experience before hand.

Totally impressed with the team that arrived. Took down and hauled away the old fence. Installed a beautiful white vinyl fence. It was put up with great attention to measurements of a wide door we requested. The two person team worked between two rain showers and were friendly and cleaned up all the debris. The fence looks great. Highly recommend this company if you are looking for a new fence for your property.

I've been renovating my home for the past year and this has been the easiest step so far. Javier & Francisco who actually installed our fence were amazing. They were punctual and worked quickly and efficiently. They cleaned up and it was as if they were never there. Greg did a great job with the initial sale and I got a followup from Jesus. Spectacular service don't hesitate to use them.

We ordered two aluminum gates and fences from this company. They did not coordinate installation with us and just showed up. The installer put the posts in the ground but never installed any concrete. We contacted the company several times before they agreed to come out and concrete the posts. They again showed up unannounced and the installer pulled the posts out and simply poured the non-mixed concrete (dry, no water) into the hole.

When asked if they added water, they simply poured water around the post and claimed this was sufficient. The concrete mix on the bag clearly called for mixing first, then pouring the mixture into the hole to set posts. Additionally, they aluminum is so flimsy that anyone could simply bend the pickets to get through. When asked to install at least two horizontal reinforcing bars to secure the area, they installed a 1/2" fiberglass brace that simply does not do anything and was cracked when cut and installed.

Not just that, they installed it on the fence but not on the gate. Once again, we called and the manager came out to review this and agreed that this was not a proper installation and agreed to fix this. We tried contacting them at least twice since but nothing has been done, not even a return call. The fence posts are now not secure because the concrete never cured and the fence is crooked.

After the "repair" we had to install bike locks and a chain to secure the area which completely defeats the purpose of having a gate. As architects, we deal with a lot of contractors and trades; we would never recommend this company to anyone. The poor installation and the flimsy product are unacceptable topped by unsatisfactory customer service and extremely poor follow up.

I had a fence built in 2 stages, a few months apart. - the first side I choose Robertsons fence and the second side a few months later I choose Foremost fence - hands down Foremost is better quality gates and workmanship. -- After the first fence was installed I had called Robertson's to come fix their gate after only 4 weeks, they told me it was "fine" (and that they sent someone to look when I wasn't home). when Foremost came to build the second fence, they fixed the Robertson gate that was "fine" for FREE, while they were installing their fence on the other side. What a difference in Quality and Care. - FOREMOST FENCE ONLY FROM NOW ON.the gate quality is night and day. for exactly the same price. learn form me.

I had to have 125ft of 6ft tall PVC privacy fence and 65ft of 4ft tall PVC lakeside fence installed. Also needed 2 gates along both runs of fence. (64ft of 6ft tall wooden fence had to be removed also) These guys are great and the fence looks fantastic. The installers worked very hard and got it all done in one day.

While they talk a good game to get your business, but you can forget their 2 year labor warranty or any job pride. My fence was installed in August 2018 a little oddly but complete. After the fence started to dry out (approx 3 months after job completion) I noticed that some of the panels appeared to be warping. Additionally during a windy thunderstorm, one of the panels near the back gate was severely swaying in the wind.

On numerous panels the screws are barely catching any of the post and the panel that flaps, the post is not cemented into the ground. I have contacted them 3 times to come and correct these issues and can't get anyone out here. Additionally, many of the wood pickets are splitting and bowing since drying out. They advised that I wait to stain or paint it, now I'm sorry I did. Maybe the additional protection would have helped preserve the appearance.

We did a lot of research in deciding which fence company to choose for our security gate. Foremost Fence was very helpful in selecting a gate that would suit our needs. All of the employees from sales to constructing the gate were excellent. We will recommend them to our neighbors and friends.

Great job on replacing our fence with new & approved fence. They tore down old fence & replaced in record time. Workers were neat & polite. Showed up on time, efficient & did a great job. Highly recommended!

Had a new fence installed about year and half ago. Have had problems since. Called and called and called and finally someone came out and attempted to repair the sagging double gate. I was told that the gate sags because on one side it is anchored to a two foot wide panel which is not much support, that they would have to come back with wire to secure it better. Never returned. Called and left messages for manager Jesse to no avail. Watch out if you use this company. They dont stand behind their product.

Built black chain link fence in a small area. They called back promptly and scheduled meeting within a few days. Fence was completed within the week.

While the communication between sale and actual work (Foremost Office needs to improve that) should be better, the crew who do the work are EXCELLENT. I've had the unique experience of hiring Foremost fence twice. Once through Home Depot and then I called them for another job directly. The first time the building permit was not on site and I had a hell of a time being reported, getting a warning from the city and and having to prove compliance. 2nd time they came and started work without having told me they were coming.

I was at work. my paranoid psycho neighbor freaked out on the crew so they left. I had to reschedule and deal with psycho neighbor. Foremost Office did reschedule to fit me in on a busy Saturday, which I am grateful for but again didn't call like the said they would.until they were 3 Mintes a way. The crew is polite as hell and finished the job EXACTLY TO the MINUTE of when they said they would. REALLY professional, VERY knowledgeable, SUPER smart guys. This was a different crew than the first a year ago but BOTH were equally fantastic. Whoever hires the crews does a great job. Really exceptional and talented crew pool.

Buyer beware, We paid the deposit with a credit card one time use of card. They come to do our fence and send us a final bill then the next day we get a paid invoice without permission to use card, The job is not complete and they will not call us back.

Fantastic job! Very professional, the sales person worked with us to adjust initial quote. Fence was installed about 4 months ago, and do not have any issues. Installer did not have the design for the wood fence selected for some reason, he ended up going to home Depot or lowes, purchased material and designed it like we wanted. Would recommend to my friends and family!

Recently, I was looking for a firm that could put up a PVC/Vinyl fence at our house. I spent a lot of time researching my options and got 3 to 4 estimates. I even looked at doing it myself. I decided to go with Foremost Fence as their price was less than I could do it for the materials, prompt response & friendly service.

Hope you hate your house and you neighbors, and love screws and sharp objects pointing out of your fence plus miss matching panels and cracked wood. if all that screams you then this company is most definitely for you, by the way don't look at face book for reviews there taken down as soon as they go up. BUYER BEWARE they will most certainly try to screw you. I invite the manager to reply to this

Called for an appointment for a simple fence installation quote, was scheduled for an appointment the following day. The next day, an hour before the appointment, the contractor calls me and tells me he cannot make it anymore -- even though I've already taken the day off of work, costing me money.

Paid for a premium fence meaning fresh, thick, good quality wood. What I got was scrap wood meaning cracked/split boards, posts, and rails that are not squared. Gates are warped & poorly assembled. I was told it was the nature of the wood.

Foremost Fence did a phenomenal job on our wood privacy and picket fence. They were fast, friendly, reasonably priced and extremely professional. We contacted another company that told us we'd have to wait five weeks to have our fence installed at our new home.
