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.

Stephanie blew up my phone in the beginning trying to give me a quote for a shed that I wanted to build my Dad as a present for Father's Day. I just thought they were eager to help me get this shed built in time for Father's Day for my Dad. They seemed to have good reviews online at this time. (I later realized that Stephanie and Nathan wrote their own reviews). Nathan and Stephanie were both very helpful when putting together my quote. I decided to go with them because they were the most reasonably priced. (I know, cheap doesnt mean quality or HONESTY). They informed me I needed to send them $2000, yes TWO THOUSAND dollars for materials to get started. I Zelled the money to STEPHANIE TALIAFERRO. After they received this money, the excuse train rolled on in. There were so many excuses why Nathan couldnt get the shed built that I honestly lost track. He was sick, he was hot, he needed to go to the hospital, he broke up with his girlfriend, he was out of town, he didnt have any workers, Stephanie said he had been working all day and needed dinner, the list goes on and on and ON! Then Stephanie and Nathan stopped responding to my request for updates on the build. They had the $2000 to buy the material for a good month and a half and not one thing was done. Nathan said that he broke up with Stephanie and that she no longer had anything to do with this. I beg to differ, because my BANK ACCOUNT says that I gave money to STEPHANIE TALIAFERRO. So she will ALWAYS be involved until I get my money back. After a couple months, I asked for a refund of my money since nothing was ever done. Nathan kept promising me he would return the money, but he was out of town or always busy. He even told me one day he was headed to the bank right that day, then crickets. Again no communication. Nathan finally broke down and said that he was sorry he took my money. But he needed it to pay HIS BILLS because other people had not paid him. Which has NOTHING TO DO WITH ME! He said he would make payments back to me every Friday until it is paid in full. He said "you will receive every nickel, you can take that to the bank." This was July 23, 2021. Today is July 11 2022 and I still have not received NOT ONE PAYMENT. Nate/ Nathan also claims to place religion and God into his messages to make you believe that he is being honest. Well the God I know, doesnt like ugly!!! And when you take advantage of hard working citizens, you will pay for it in other ways. I think I've been very patient with Nathan and Stephanie to return my money. Since they wont respond to my requests and refuse to give my money back a year later, I have to warn others and do my due diligence to inform others of my experience and hope you will learn from my mistake.
