My fence before Cota Ventures repaired & stained it.
Barry B.

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.

60' Cage

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!

Front yard and side wall

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!

My backyard still on progress but the cotas venture work.

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.

After

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.

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.

Bryan K.

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.

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.

Although he arrived late with no communication regarding his ETA, he did eventually make it. He let us know he wouldn't be able to provide a quote until Monday, which was completely fine by us- we recognize businesses are busy and we're not their only customers. Unfortunately, that was the last we heard from him. After waiting with no response, we emailed him the following Tuesday to give him the benefit of the doubt, assuming he was just busy- still nothing. By Thursday, we attempted to follow up via text. The message was marked as delivered and read, yet it was completely ignored. I can't comment on their pricing because we were never actually given a quote. I am truly disappointed by this lack of professionalism. Looking back, it was my mistake for not paying closer attention to their existing 1-star reviews as it's clear that going silent on potential clients is a recurring theme for this business. LA Fence, please teach your employees the basic courtesy of responding to people. Potential customers, do yourself a favor and find yourself another contractor. LA Fence seems only to be in the service of wasting everyone's time.

I first called on a Friday, and Joe and his crew were out the following Monday to begin the project. This was a huge job--more than 600 feet of fencing--and they completed everything by Thursday. I was very impressed with how efficiently they worked while still paying attention to detail. Even the city building inspector commented that they did a great job! Joe and his crew were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. There was never any sense of rushing the job--they took the time to do it right. Their pricing was also very reasonable for the amount of work completed. I highly recommend Villa Fencing if you're looking for quality work and a professional team.

It really upgraded the overall look of our yard and added a sense of privacy and security. They also paid attention to the small details, which I really appreciated. Everything lines up nicely and feels well-built. Fair pricing and no hassle at all. I'd definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for fence work.

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.

They walked me through the entire process, explained what to expect, and answered all of my questions, which made me feel confident in my decision. The finished door exceeded my expectations. It's beautiful, incredibly solid, and looks amazing. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and it's clear the door was built to be structurally sound and made to last for many years. Throughout the entire project, Jonathan and his team were punctual, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. A few months after the installation, I noticed some of the mounting hardware had started to loosen. I called Jonathan, and without hesitation, he came out with his team and took care of the issue right away. That level of customer service is rare these days, and it truly sets Gama's Iron Work apart. They stand behind their work and genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction. They have earned my business for life, and I will gladly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality wrought iron work.
