    Electric gate
    Lashawn N.

    Late post, but worth it! I was in a major bind. I ran my vehicle into my electric gate causing it to bend and lose wood. Cota ventures, fixed my gate by replacing the wood/iron and color matched everything which saved me so much money. No one would know there was ever any damage. I definitely recommend their service, I sure plan to use them again! Lashawn

    My fence before Cota Ventures repaired & stained it.

    What can I say, cover to cover, this was one of the best experiences with contractors I've ever had. The owner, Tim, was very responsive on Yelp & even quoted me over the phone (based on pictures I sent to him). He gave me advice on places to pick up & match the stain color I needed & even took calls after hours just to help. Tim surveyed the job a few days prior to repairing my fence to make sure that they had everything that they needed on the scheduled repair date. Tim & Mac called ahead each morning & always showed up on time. They worked together & were a joy to have in my backyard. They even worked around my two dogs (who are not always the friendliest). Tim & Mac completed the job on time & as promised. They even stained my front gate with the little extra stain they had (saving me from doing it over the weekend). In fact, I am writing this review from my couch instead of staining it!! Thank you, Cota Ventures! I will be referring you to all of my neighbors & friends. Keep up the excellent work! Blessings.

    Really great job one creating the cage, especially on a last minute, he came and build it in 2 days. Thanks Tim and Pablo for the great job you guys did.

    Tim did a phenomenal job! Craftsmanship is top notch. He redesigned my old gate and repaired it. Looks like a brand new gate. Highly recommend.

    Work in progress.

    Hired Tim to replace and build a side gate. He arrived on time, took his time to make sure every step is complete properly, and He takes no short cuts. Very easy to communicate with and his price is very reasonable, upfront, straight forward, and no hidden fees. Tim checked in with us the day before our scheduled work day to finalize all details and design of the gate. The new gate is simply gorgeous, 3 different neighbors came asking for his contact. We will definitely call Tim for our future projects.

    Tim and Mark are seriously the best ... Feels like a brand new house! Was able to get the gates I wanted with the budget that I had. I honestly feel like I owe Tim more money. Really easy to work with ... super friendly... if ur looking to find the best welder ... just hit up Tim and and call it a day!

    Tim did a great job bringing our vision to life! He was great at communicating with us. He takes pride in his work and pays attention to all the details. Would recommend!

    Tim is the best contractor that I ever deal with very cool and straight up person. Price is very reasonable compared to some companies, if I do have another project I will definitely ho with him no doubt. Thanks Tim keep it up.

    Tim and Mark were amazing. They were the only company that was able to do my complete job (concrete, brick, and iron work), they gave me a reasonable price, finished in a short amount of time, gave me exactly what I wanted, and did an amazing job! Every step of the way Tim made sure I was happy with the work before moving to the next step, and any small problems that arose, he fixed promptly. Very happy, will definitely use them again for any future upgrades to my house.

    We took forever getting this project started, Tim was with us every step of the way. Thank you for your patience! The final product and workmanship were impeccable! We would bring them back anytime we need the type of service Cota offers.

    Wall topper to hide neighbor's motorhome.

    Tim repaired and rebuilt our old rusted gates, built a wall topper for our block wall, and built a brand new gate for us. He communicated clearly and asked many questions to make sure he understood exactly what we wanted. He even came back a few months later to do some maintenance on the gates for free! He is a heck of a nice guy and his work is first-rate! If you hire Tim you won't be disappointed.

    After: New secure wall, posts are 3 feets underground embedded with concrete, gate is straighter than ever!!

    I'm extremely satisfied with the work done by Cota Ventures. My gate and wall broke by strong wind, I was looking for someone not only to fix the damage but also secure the gate and wall to withstand wind for future uncertainties. I've called about 10-12 people for quotes and to suggest solution, but non of them can give me a clear solution or not confident enough to do the job. Then I found Tim, he was the absolute best, very honest, professional and skillful, he listened to my concerns and determined best approach for my wall and gate. The communication was clear and consistent all the way through, I couldn't be happier with the result, my wall and posts are strong again, gate is now straighter than the way it was before the wind knocked it down. Highly recommend!!

The finger print reading is time consuming to set up. But since it's an aluminum gate we were limited on options. That was my only regret.... Would have gone a different route with more options to lock the gate because that's the whole point !! No sense of having a nice gate if you can't lock it or manage it correctly from an app. All in all la fence made it happen & I'm glad I chose local business.

    I have depended a lot on reviews/pics from yelpers so I need to post when a business was good or…read morebad. Or kinda good or kinda bad. The fences are nice and look like the pics on the reviews. The issue in my case is installation and customer service. They broke one of my recently installed pavers (never told me). The metal portion of 1 of 3 gates had a lot of visible deep scratches, and they left an outlet box just dangling instead of properly installing it. I also noticed they didn't install stoppers behind each door. Didn't know I had to ask for that or that they didn't provide them. Imagine spending thousands on 3 beautiful doors just so when they open, they smack on stucco or walls? I made a deal with Mark (he comes out to give you an estimate) it cost me $100 to have my paver guy fix the damage. Add 3 stoppers to the gates and I'll call it even. He said ok. They came out and installed one. Mark has been bs'ing me for months and they haven't came out to add the remaining two. I've called the main office and no luck. I know if I would've waited on paying they would've been done a long time ago. And to be fair they did come out and covered up the deep scratches a bit. You can still see them but not as noticeable. The electric box was also installed properly. Make sure you look at your doors and gates closely before you pay because trying to get them to come out can be difficult and Mark might tell you it will be handled and never will. Their prices are fair and competitive but their installation and customer service could use some work and maybe other estimates on your behalf. See pictures. Oh and I sent them a lock to install prior to them coming out to install. I should've checked that too before they left. The electronic door lock doesn't work. I've tried taking it apart and figuring it out but does not work. My fault I guess for not checking.

He was very honest, telling me the pros and cons of Wood, vinyl, and Trex Composite. Their pricing is competitive. The arts of comparing quotes is not just to compare the price. You must find out how they install the fence. Adam explained to me that they don't use a regular pole for wood fencing, but rather they use a way stronger "post master" pole? I forgot the correct name. It is a little more expensive, but you get a way stronger fence. Adam was also extremely patient with me explaining to me different styles and colors making sure that I get all my answers. He even responded to me after hours to make sure I get a timely response. Even though I am the first one reviewing . Superior, Fence And Rail is a large company. That makes me feel more comfortable. Lastly, they offer financing options which you can just pay a few hundred dollars a month. Many companies don't offer that. So if you're thinking about putting up a wood fencing, vinyl, fencing, or composite fencing, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Adam.

    9/16 RESPONSE TO RAUL'S MESSAGE: The photos I posted are as…read morerecent as my review. Calling them "old" doesn't change the fact that the fence still looks like that. What's actually old is your year-long list of excuses for why you never came back to fix your own work. And really--racist? I've been nothing but patient while you strung me along for months. It's honestly appalling you'd even throw that word around when you know it isn't true. Let's also clear up this "whole team" you keep mentioning. Do you mean your dad? Because that's who showed up. I didn't even speak with him since I don't speak Spanish--which is why my Hispanic husband handled communication those two times he came out. So where you're getting "racist" from is beyond me, but it says more about you than it does me. Also, let's drop this "you just want free work" nonsense. I paid you--every single penny. On time. I even gave you a $1,000 advance before you finished when you asked. I have all the text receipts to prove it, so maybe double-check your memory before accusing me of not paying. And dragging your kid into this? That's just bizarre. I remember the one day he was here--sitting in your car on a hot day. I was the one who offered that he could come into the backyard or swim so he wouldn't overheat sitting in your car. If you're twisting that into me being "upset," then I don't know what to tell you. The only thing I've been upset about is your lousy workmanship and the fact that you refuse to stand behind it. Oh, and since you keep boasting about your "$7 wood"--both licensed fencing contractors I had out to assess the mess told me the same thing: that wood for fencing needs to be purchased in advance and allowed to set, because temperature and moisture cause it to shift. The fact that you just grabbed the wood that same day from Home Depot and installed it immediately explains exactly why it started warping. And no, it didn't cost you $7 a piece--let's not exaggerate when receipts exist. At the end of the day, I don't want free work. I wanted the work I paid for done correctly. You didn't deliver, and now instead of owning it, you're lobbing excuses, lies, and made-up drama. Unfortunately for you, the fence--and the texts--speak louder than your story does. If you spent half as much energy fixing fences as you do making excuses, we wouldn't even be here. ----- ORIGINAL REVIEW Do not hire Raul Hernandez (Ranchero Fencing / Golden Era Fencing / High Desert Affordable Fencing). I hired Raul Hernandez in May 2024 to build a modern fence. The project was completed in June, but only after multiple delays from him not showing up when he said he would. Within three months--by September 3, 2024--the fence was already showing serious issues. That started a year-long nightmare of back-and-forth with Raul. He made endless promises to fix his work, but rarely followed through. Over the course of an entire year: -His father came out twice (for only a few hours each time), but even admitted the job needed to be removed and redone. -Raul only came out once, after I pushed him repeatedly. -Because the fence was built with tongue-and-groove wood, it can't be "patched." The only fix is to remove and rebuild it. Instead of taking responsibility, Raul kept trying to shift the blame to his father--even though his dad only set the metal posts at the start, and Raul himself did all the woodwork. Every step of the way, it was excuses, no-shows, and broken promises. Finally, after a FULL YEAR of nothing, I asked for a refund. I obtained two professional quotes from reputable fencing companies, both over $6,000 to fix Raul's work (reusing the same metal posts). At first Raul agreed to a refund, until he realized how much it would cost him. Then he backtracked, claimed he would "work his magic," and when I declined, he started threatening court. He even bragged that he does liens and isn't afraid of legal action. We even tried to be reasonable by offering him a compromise of $4,000 (still leaving us $2,000+ out of pocket). He refused. At this point, we are taking Raul to court and filing a complaint with the CSLB for all three of his companies. To be honest, I imagine the repair work would not have been so substantial had Raul addressed the issues when I reached out to him a year ago. At this point, I have no patience left for him so any of his promises to "work his magic" is gone. Bottom line: Raul Hernandez is unprofessional, dishonest, and unreliable. His work fell apart within months, he wasted a full year of our time, and he refuses to stand by his word. Save yourself the stress and money--hire someone else.

    Strong wind blows out my fence. I called Rancho Fence and Raul showed up next day…read more He installed a new fence with very reasonable price in an hour. He is honest, work hard and very reliable person. I will strongly recommend him to anyone needs to install a fence or other fence jobs.
