    I should have read the reviews before choosing Brain the Fence Guy. Unfortunately, like many others...Once he has your money he will not respond to your calls or texts in order to honor his guaranteed work. Shortly after the fence had time to settle, the gate began to warp and would not close. I called and texted but didn't get a response until after a week. Then the excuses used for many other customers came in. "Melanie" would make the excuse that Brian is dealing with a stomach bug. More time would pass and no updates on when/if they would be coming by. Finally, after his whole family got a stomach bug, he said he would come on a Monday. SURPRISE...no one came or called. Don't use this Brian the Fence Guy. He's all talk and then forgets about you. The whole experience was disappointing and unprofessional.

    I am HIGHLY Recommending Brian The Fence Guy for your New Fence or Repairs! They finished in 1 day (and 1 guy) and I love it! Cedar fence all around! Now I get to work on backyard landscaping!

    Text message from Brian  the fence guy

    This guy was hired by my neighbor to do a fence job, the persons who came and install the fence cut my ATT fiber optic line, at the first beginning I drive to call ATT and see if is any outage in my area, but after multiple test they said they couldn't test the signal because it was no connection between the lines and the fiber optic box. They said if they have to come out they will not charge me if the problem is in they equipment or a faulty line, but if they fence guys cut the cable it will be a charge. Knowing that information I called Melanie, at the phone 713-515-9538 to explain her what is going on , and looks like she only answers calls from her family and friends, called 9 times and she never answered. Then she text me saying "We have never had a client be charged from AT&T to fix the issue. So please have them come out " apparently cutting internet lines is a every day job for them. I will not reed this company specially because when you have a problem, if they don't know your number they will not answer the call.

    Brian the Fence Guy doesn't stand by his work.

    DWS Fencing - Residential fence in Magnolia, TX

    DWS Fencing

    (14 reviews)

    Built fence & deck. Meticulous, perfection-driven, obsessed with details, hard workers, fast…read more This is a family business, with dad and two young adult sons doing the hard labor, and mom handling the business end. I have what you could call a "special needs" fence, deck, and yard. Electrical lights and outlets on the fence posts, an extra wide gate in the rear for bringing in a washing machine one day, removeable deck panel for access to AC lines, wanted the deck built on concrete blocks instead of chopping post holes into my driveway and live oak tree roots, pet turtles in the yard, and a koi pond that it was essential to not disturb the filter or plumbing or connections. Other companies didn't understand what I was needing, argued with me, or didn't speak English. But all DWS said was: Yes, yes, yes. My experience with contractors is that they're bulldozers, and I fully expected my yard and items to be trashed. Not with DWS. They carefully removed the electrical and then replaced it on the new fence posts - everything works. I had cleared the space as well as possible, but there were still items they had to move. All my garden décor, windchimes, turtle pen, etc. were preserved and neatly set where I could find them. Best of all, there was no damage to the pond, plumbing, or garden. They even did some "extra" things, like haul off pots that were too heavy for me, and trim a few branches on a baby tree. They didn't start too early (no morning noise to bother neighbors), and they wrapped up mid-afternoon. They use quick-set cement, so they can dig a post hole, erect the post, and then add rails and pickets all on the same day. They worked incredibly hard in July heat, and finished job a day early. Cleaned the driveway, sidewalk, and yard of all debris. A few things should have been hashed out better ahead of time. Type of gate hardware and locks, pergola / shade cover, retaining wall, moved the fenceline in 6" (made my yard smaller), cutting a limb off my precious live oak tree. Luckily, some of these were discussed the day before install, and were able to make last minute changes, with price adjustments where appropriate. The price for about 100' of cedar fencing and two modest decks was a gasp moment - but in line with other companies. The 50% deposit was daunting, esp for an outfit I knew nothing about, but it's in line with industry standards. Plus, they didn't ask for it until the week before install. Easy on-line pay, good communicators. The finished fence is sturdy, beautiful, and pickets all straight along the top. They hide the gate hinges for a neat look. Decks are exactly what I asked for. As an example of detail, a portion of my deck goes around the oak tree. Instead of cutting a circle out of the deck to accommodate the tree trunk, they cut the boards into pie slice-shaped wedges, so the boards fit around the tree like a pinwheel. ! This had to take amazing engineering, measuring, and cutting. Folks, there was no need to do this. This is a small deck in the back of the yard that's going to be covered with lawn chairs and potted plants and no one will ever see (except me). I can only think they did this out of obsession with detail, and had fun with the math and logistics. When they left, Dan shook my hand and told me he offers a 150% guarantee. Indeed, as the summer went on and lack of rain caused the fenceposts to shift and the gate started sticking, they came back twice to make adjustments. There's more good stuff to tell, but I'm hitting the word limit. Bottom line, I couldn't be more pleased with the people, quality, workmanship, and professionalism. You will be, too.

    I can not recommend DWS Fencing enough! They installed a new fence recently at my home and the…read morequality and care that went into the installation was top tier. When researching fence companies, I bid my project out to several local businesses using the exact same specifications so I was getting an apples-to-apples comparison. DWS came in with the best price. When I requested a change to the original project scope after starting, they were transparent about the additional cost and provided a timely and fair change order. They were hit with multiple weather events, which delayed our project and subsequent projects they had on the books after ours unfortunately too. Despite the delays, Dan never rushed anything or cut corners and got the job done right. They operate honestly and would recommend to anyone looking to install a new fence.

    Please take notice as the gate lock picture reveals that our lock was clearly filled in and packed…read moredown with concrete. We found it after Jose finished and was gone. He did not lock our gate when he left...as it was locked before he started the work. Was he trying to keep us from securely locking our gate or trying to trick us in some way? He got some views of the inside of our home (while he was working). Why did he pack our privacy lock with concrete? We kept the damaged lock in case there's a break in. We would show police. This is Texas, so I don't recommend breaking into any homes. We had to beef up our security after this violation of trust. It would take me too long to go over each deceptive reply Jose made. I will cover a few. He has more to gain by telling a lie than I do. We needed a fence put in fast, so we ate his price hikes to get the job done. The former fence was on the ground in pieces (from a storm) and we needed it replaced for safety reasons. He took advantage which would not have bothered us if he did not become creepy toward the end of the job. He knows what he did and I know what he did. I only hope the folks on here will be aware of his deception...so no one is taken by JJ Construction. Jose did not offer, at any time, to replace the lock. Plus, we would not trust him to have the integrity NOT to keep a spare key. How foolish would we be...trusting Jose to provide a new lock for our privacy fencing? Our first lock worked great when we let Jose in and out...before work began. No concrete in the hole. Jose says he no longer works with his dad...as former reviews detail. So, those reviews are not as relevant since Jose works alone. Jose also told me the day before we began work that he needed us to pay 100% up front! We declined and it made us wonder if he didn't have the capitol to buy the supplies and this is a huge red flag. Jose stood in our backyard and told me he lives in Humble, TX (off of 1960). But Jose's contract shows a huge apartment complex at 3409 Brinkman St. Houston, TX 77018 (no apartment number provided). Please see attached and see a different location for JJ Construction (according to my research). He now claims his name is Jose A. Rangel and he was named after his dad. I do find a Jose A. Rangel in Humble and at a different address (see below). His reputation is not good...if this is him. One more address is a small home in Conroe. I have these addresses but don't feel right about posting publicly. Do your research and not trusting only reviews. I use my middle name and maiden name on some public forums because my first name is very unusual and people might easily recognize it. I also like anonymity for safety reasons. This is common practice. Jose (who never gave his real last name and gives a fake address) made a point of using my legal name, up front, on his reply. Jose hides his true identity but publicly reveals mine (a private citizen and not a business) without my consent. This further reveals what kind of person he is. Please do your own research before hiring Jose (with no last name). He might do the high-priced work, or he might rip you off. He might even try to break into your home after he leaves your gate vulnerable. Why take chances? Some sons are not as reputable as their father. It's a shame. I would not use him or recommend him no matter what. He ultimately gives me the feeling of a potential scammer. He ended our job with some serious creepy vibes when I asked him about why our gate lock was filling with pressed down concrete. He denied doing it but come on. No one else was here. Jose did reply to my calls until I paid him in full. We discovered a few issues with our gate (only days later). After he was paid, he let those calls go to VM. He didn't fix the gate to our satisfaction. He also tried to leave a huge gap in the gate opening and it not only looked bad and would be easier to breach, but it was against Harris County code for easier access to the latch. Jose muddies the water with figures about the code. But Jose never knew there was a code until I told him. This is what he confessed to me. If you hire him then my advice is to get a copy of his ID and take a picture of his vehicle license plate. I did the latter but not the former. Jose will also try to cut corners if you don't outline everything to be done correctly and also check his work...so the fence doesn't fall over in a few years...even if it looks good at first. Also, I could not verify his W9. Maybe you can verify it. Be sure to check the legitimacy of his insurance too. Hope you find a skilled and trustworthy fence contractor who provides you with a genuine last name and real address. Jose "thanked" me for my unfavorable review? That's odd. He should just own up to what he did or perhaps what he may have tried to do and stop playing games. Thanks for this opportunity to alert others.

    I failed to communicate properly which sets of our fence line needed replacing, which led to an…read moreincorrect section being knocked down. Not only did they construct sturdy, nice looking replacements for our needed areas, but they used all the best from the taken down sections to repair the incorrect section. The new fence sections are well done and quite sturdy. We are pleased with the work and would use them again.
