Backyard Fence

I'll start by stating that the quality of the fence is pretty good. It looks good and the gates are operational with no issues so far. It was built by one guy, which was pretty impressive.

The reason for the low rating is for the state our backyard and parking pad was left in. I understand that some mess is expected. There is even a clause in the quote that states that. However, I believe the mess left behind was pretty unreasonable. As shown in the photos, the ground plugs from the post holes were left behind our shed, along with a lot of dirt. For whatever reason, the dirt, clay, and large rocks that were dug up was either spread out across our backyard, lined up along the side of our parking pad, piled up along the side of my neighbor's house, or left in a large pile behind our shed. My wife even witnessed the builder spreading out the debris on our parking pad for whatever reason. As you can imagine, it's a mess back there whenever it rains or snows. Backyard is pretty much unusable if it's wet out. I mentioned this when the final invoice was sent to me, but never heard back. I mentioned it again a few weeks ago when I reached out to for a review. Never heard back.

Hi Adam,

Mark here - General Manager at First Class Fencing. Im glad we got in touch today to discuss the dirt. It's nice to hear you were extremely happy with the project and fence and I'll be sure to let the team know of your kind remarks.

Additionally glad we could sort out the dirt concern. As you know we do leave the dirt on site but your job was unique in the volume and should have I known sooner, we would have arranged to get this cleaned up for you. That's why reaching out and reviews are so important.

I thank you for revising your review to a 10 star once completed.

I'll be in touch by end of next week when the snow melts to get this handled for you.

Have a great long weekend!

Fencing in a Parking Pad & Replacing Gate/Fence in front of House

My wife found First Class Fencing after a previous company we dealt with was slow in responding to us. FCF was very quick in responding to our requests with Mark and Andrew showing up that very day we called and analyzing our needs with a quote that was hundreds of dollars below a competitor. The work done was quick and efficient while paying attention to detail, while no corners were cut to save time or energy. A crew was sent and were very helpful moving a very heavy dog house for us amongst other things. As an older couple it was much appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend them. Thanks again for a job well done.

Fence

Very satisfied with the job and quality of the fence! The fence is fastened together with screws and not nails. The work was completed with in the week so my yard was not open for very long. A plus for me. The only reason I gave 4 stars for satisfaction was due to communications. I had to call twice on occasion to get a reply on some of the questions I had. Maybe very busy. That said, I would still use them again!

Terrible experience

We had a 20 foot backyard fence that we needed redone last July 2023. It was just finished January 2024.

Issues:
1) no communication from the project lead
2) built crooked. Panels scratched. Had to be redone.
3) gate latch put on incorrectly. Had to be redone. Wasnt great at this point but we just wanted the experience done.
4). They invoiced us for the final invoice before the project was done.

We wouldnt never recommend this company. 20 feet of fence takes 6 months. Terrible experience. They discounted us in the end but it still wasnt worth dealing with them.

Hi Lillian,

Mark here (the Project Manager/Owner on site) I always appreciate feedback but I feel there is a lot of context missing in your review. To clarify, this job could have gone smoother, that we agree.

That said, there was communication with your husband and action plans on the base plated post that was slightly out of plumb due to the concrete location.

The latch was in good shape, installed correctly and was never changed. Also, I didn't rectify any scratches panels. I'm confused on these parts of the fence.

Invoicing early was our mistake, I received a photo when the gate was hung from the crew and gave approval to Jacquline to invoice. It was a busy month but I should have seen the post in person.

But in consideration to the slight hiccups, we provided a 14% discount ($500) which we would have hoped was in good faith to make up for the delay on swapping out those parts and it would have been nice to have that included in the review and everything we did do to rectify.

We do appreciate the business and I'd love to chat through this with you or James if possible.

Thanks!

Fencing project (partial)

Dear First Class Fencing,

I cannot express how satisfied my husband and I are with our new chain-link fence! We bought our house in Airdrie in 2019 and the older wood fence on the west side was not the greatest and I always felt embarrassed by it due to its condition. We had also requested a new gate on the east side which was also replaced. They kept the wood posts as they didn't need to be replaced, they were still very sturdy and was determined not necessary to replace. I appreciate the honesty as they could have very well have said to replace more.

Now with our new gates and black chain-link fence with privacy slats, I feel secure and so very proud! The crew kept the work area very clean, they were very professional and their workmanship is top notch!

Thank you First Class Fencing team, you made things from start to finish a wonderful experience!
