Prompt with a professional team who paid attention to detail and did an excellent job removing old fence and installing a new redwood one. Not lowest bid but worth the cost. Would highly recommend and use again.

(Tried to post before; think I messed up, this is my 2nd try.)
Woulda picked all the above if I could. Elmer & crew are GREAT! First we called for a demo job (they removed an old wall in a day), then a new fence, next, pavers on the patio; probably a new roof and stucco-ing the house in the very near future. Prices are exceptional, and Elmer is SO top of things; responsive, kind, easy to talk to. Just can't say enough about this good man and his crew. EXCELLENT WORK, PRICES, VALUE!
Details: Home • Install a new fence or gate • Wood • 51 - 100 feet • 6 feet • No fence obstacles exist in the work area
