    These guys are the best. Such a pleasure to work with, and all around great customer service. This is our second time using Carney Fence and we will be back again for more projects. Easy and fast communication, fantastic prices, beautiful work and worked with our neighbors like true professionals. Couldn't be happier with our fence!

    Side yard gate and fence

    New metal gate and fence to replace wood fence/gate next to house (wildfire vulnerability). Built as promised and on schedule. Family business. They're all great (especially the Mom ). Reliable. Reasonable prices.

    New Fence + Gate

    I called for a quote and received a call back right away. The quote was very reasonable but I decided to go with someone else since they were scheduled 4 months out and I needed our fence replaced right away due to a safety hazard. I did however recommend them to my father who had one side of his property replaced with 6ft tall cedar fencing and new side gate and he is extremely happy with the outcome.

    Our fence had been on its last leg for the last 6 years, to the point where everything was rotting and one side was held up by a leaning board. This is what happens when homes reach 20 years old and the original builder just puts posts into the ground. Fast forward to June 2021. We contacted Carney Fence and Karen, owner, responded back immediately and professionally. One of the owners, Joe, came out to give an estimate, information and answered all questions we had. A due date was set for October. This gave us and the neighbors time to plan and get ready. When neighbors on one side had concerns, we had some added changes put into the plan and each time the cost was adjusted into the contract accordingly. Carney Fence always let us know how much the total cost was after each change and we had no surprises with the final cost. Five months later construction began on Tuesday October 26th and finished on Friday October 29th, just as planned. James Carney (Owner) and Josh did the work and put up the fence with detail and precision. The workmanship, service and quality of the final finished fence exceeded our expectations. Our neighbors were equally impressed with the fence. For anyone wanting to put in a new fence, I endorse Carney Fence. They're professional, on-time, and will always give you 100% and more. You can't go wrong with Carney Fence. Yes they are that good. Thank you Carney Fence for providing us a beautiful finished product.

    If you're looking to build a wooden picture frame or dog ear style fence in North County San Diego, look no further than Carney Fence. Operated by brothers Joe and James, and their mother Karen on the admin side, Carney Fence is a family-owned business that delivered a top-notch final product and excellent customer service every step of the way. Of the three fence construction companies I evaluated, Carney Fence was by far the most responsive and professional--as well as the most cost-effective by a narrow margin--so the decision to go with Joe and James was an easy one. Throughout the project, the Carney Brothers were always punctual and made sure to communicate to me when they'd be at my home. They also uncovered some unsafe electrical wiring in my backyard and alerted me to this immediately so I could take care of it. My adjoining neighbors and I are extremely happy with the finished product. I've gotten a ton of compliments from friends and I especially love the two gates which have a pool-style lock mechanism (Joe and James' idea). You won't regret working with Carney Fence. Support a great, local, family-owned business that genuinely cares about making customers happy while delivering only the highest quality work. Thank you, Joe, James, and Karen! P.S. The solid stain on the fence was done by Tom Sawyer Fence Painting, another local company I'd strongly recommend working with.

    We love this family owned business. We had to wait a bit but it was worth the wait. They are professional every step of the way and the guys really do quality work on the installation. They are super nice and respectful too. We highly recommend them!

    Back Venice, free of the vines and the gangsta lean.
    Scott D.

    Our fence was 15 years old and beginning to resemble something out of the swamps of Louisiana. Vines had basically ripped apart sections and the lean on the rear portion perpetually threatened to topple over onto the dog during his yard explorations. We called the Carney family. James showed up the next day to inspect the situation and clearly explained our options. When we decided we wanted something a little more involved, he worked with us and got a quote put together the same day. This is a family business, and every member of the Carney family was beyond nice and helpful. The work they do is top notch and their prices are excellent. If you want your fence project handled by the best, you've come to the right place! Thanks guys.

    See all

    James made a great suggestion for the project which helped win over our most skeptical neighbor and honestly they crushed it.

    I only leave reviews when someone is great or terrible. I'm happy to say Fence Plus was…read moreoutstanding. They were great about scheduling the estimate and the work. One of the biggest positives was saving me a lot of money by salvaging what could be salvaged and fixing what should be fixed. (I had another contractor tell me that one section would be cheaper to completely replace for $10k+ - Fence Plus fixed it for less than than $1000). I have nothing but great things to to say about Bill, Rosabel and Jose.

    My neighbor and I had the company build a fence between our property on the side. After the fence…read morewas built, over 1/3 of the boards had been cut in the wrong direction at the mill leaving huge horizontal lines. When painted, they stood out like a sore thumb, completely ruining the aesthetic of the fence. We called the owner out to replace the boards. He said the fence served its purpose. We said you would never put this fence on your website as proof of your work. If this was in the front of the house, it would be horrible to look at. It would never be acceptable at a million dollar home. The boards should have been examined before installing, discarding the undesirable pieces as there was plenty of lumber and it arrived before the project began. The owner never fixed the fence after many conversations. We are disappointed with the look and the customer service. This was poor quality control by the owner and the crew that we are now stuck with. I would not recommend this company.
