I seriously can't say enough good things about this fence company. Giovannie is awesome -- super responsive, easy to talk to, and you can tell he genuinely cares about doing things the right way. The crew who installed the fence were incredible. They were so respectful and pleasant to have around. They worked hard all day, barely took breaks, and even stayed late to make sure everything was done right. They took great care of our yard and were nothing but courteous & respectful the whole time. The fence turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier. I'm honestly so glad we chose this company. I wouldn't even think about calling anyone else in the future. read more

I contacted Golden Fence for an estimate based on information on their website. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. The woman I spoke with on the phone came across as rude and unwilling to work with my schedule. Other fence companies I contacted were able to provide more flexibility, but Golden Fence would only offer a broad 4-hour morning window with no estimated arrival time. Because of that interaction and lack of accommodation during the estimate process, I decided not to move forward with them. read more

2 rail vinyl fence installed in November. The entire process (quote, questions, pre-install, installation, and follow-up) was handled very professionally and the fence is AWESOME. The previous wood fence was about 40 years old and needed replacing. But now we have strangers from the neighborhood stopping to comment on the new fence! read more

Golden Fence - Fences & Gates Near Me - Mchenry, Illinois

Requested a quote for a new fence 2 weeks ago. Their guy made an appointment and came out on March 20 and said he'd send me a quote on Monday, March 23. Nothing was sent. I called the company that day and explained the situation. They advised they would send me the estimate by the end of the day. Today is Thursday, March 26. Nothing. Now I'll try a fence company that wants my business read more

I rarely leave reviews - but this needed to be done. Terrible SERVICE and very dishonest CHEAPEST aluminum fence was installed in our yard. Dogs are able to bend the slats and bends with minimal human strength. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! Giovanni - Owner became involved and was literally scary as to how he responded to our photos and complaints. So untrustworthy. Our aluminum fence was the lowest quality - Home Depot/Menard's quality was far superior material. RUN - they do poor work and use garbage low end materials and DO NOT STAND by the fencing they install. Horrific experience. 0 Stars. Thinking for suing for the fraudulently advertised fence quality and service - I fear retaliation as the owner was very intimidating and almost aggressive over our complaints. See images of LOWEST QUALITY FENCING. read more

Golden Fence was amazing. Delivered as promised. Product was excellent. Price was fair after interviewing 3 companies. I would use Golden Fence again and again. read more

Golden Fence removed our old wood fence and replaced with a beautiful cedar fence. Their price was the best and we were impressed with the quality. Their customer service was also great. They came out after the i stall when we had questions about sealing it. We would definitely use them again. read more

We hired Golden Fence. We had a few quotes, some higher and some lower. But a friend of mine recommended them, so we chose them. Overall, the initial contact was quite decent. We already had little experience with fences, including prices and turnaround times, as we live in a new development and someone builds a fence every week. On the day our fence was installed, another company was building fences for three of our neighbors: two vinyl fences and one cedar fence. This company had a crew of six, and that day they decorated two full vinyl fences and concreted the posts on the third property. Golden Fence sent one worker to us, which was a red flag for me. We had already made it clear that we wanted the fence finished quickly because we have two dogs. The very next day, the worker informed us that they wouldn't be able to finish the fence that day. But he assured me it would be 100% finished the next day. I should point out that he started building the fence on Thursday, so he assured me it would be finished by Friday. On Friday, it turned out he wouldn't be finished on Friday because he'd have to add a gate to the fence. He immediately assured me not to worry, that it wasn't him, but his colleague, who was very fast at work, and that he would finish it and come check it out on Saturday, the third day. My gut feeling told me otherwise, so my wife tried to contact Golden Fence and find out if someone would come and finish the job on Saturday. Unfortunately, by Sunday evening, no one had contacted us, and on Sunday, someone replied that someone wouldn't come until Wednesday and might finish our fence. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. First of all, how can you send just one person to do such a job? I look at other companies to see how professional and organized they are. I'd rather pay $200 or $300 extra and have it done in one day, rather than having it take six days. I regret investing the money and time in this company. read more

Golden Fence installed our 5 ft aluminum backyard fence about 10 years ago. They did an outstanding job on the installation, on-time. This year, a tornado knocked out a huge tree, which took out a portion of our fence. Golden Fence was so easy to work with to get the repair done. I sent photos of the damage to Octavio, the replacement pieces were ordered, and the work was done to fit our schedule. I highly recommend Golden Fence. read more

Incredibly fast and efficient work done. I had about 400ft of fence, horizontal slat with metal parts. Finished everything in one day. Fence looks great read more

Golden Fence was by far one of the more reasonably priced quotes I received for a wooden fence installation. I only had to replace one side of my yard due to (was not sure who the previous owners had used/no signage on fence) rotting wood and damage. Octavio, my sales rep, came when he was scheduled for and was accommodating of my work schedule. He measured out my fence and gave me a quote within 15 minutes, on the spot. I liked this a lot because other companies dragged. One slight complaint is that the second day (first day was only tear down of old fence) it was raining in the morning and then had stopped by 10 am; I had been told the crew would come between 10-11 am. At 11:30 I called to see if they would be arriving and received an apology that no one called me but they wouldn't be coming that day due to the rain. My husband ended up calling a little later because the crew left wood pieces in my neighbor's yard which was an issue and since the rain had stopped earlier in the morning, could they just finish that day since it was slated to rain more the rest of the week. The positive of this was that they accommodated right away and sent a crew to complete the job and our fence came out great! The job took 2 days for 160 feet of land one side. Due to the pricing and turnaround time, I would use Golden Fence again if the remainder of my wood fence ever needs replacing. read more

Golden Fence has to be the best fence company around. From Giovanni to the crew he sent out were responsive, professional and so great to work with. The quality of the work was unbelievable. We still have people stopping who drive or walk by and compliment us. The name is on the front of the fence so they can see who did such a great job. We are so proud to live here and it has enhanced the property so much. Will use them again and refer them with 5 stars! read more

Golden Fence was exceptional. The did 4 houses in our neighborhood and they all look great. They can only time, cleaned up all the mess , even had to come back after they had to resign one of our gates on the black aluminum fence because of the angles needed. Octavio was great. Walked us thru the whole process. Their prices were very competitive and lower then some of the other bids I would recommend them to anyone read more

Always great service and quality. Great value for the money. This is my second fence from them. Great customer service.

They were really difficult to schedule and wouldn't return our calls. The 3-4 week lead time turned into 7. Here's where you need to be careful: Giovanni was trying to slap an extra $1800 post install on our bill without explanation. After a call talking in circles, he dropped it to $1500. He tried to say we used extra material when really all we added on from the quote was an extra gate ($450). We used less fence and were pretty sure about it. We asked for a formal update of an invoice in writing with the extra material used. He sent us an email with just the cost. Like literally said "additional cost 1500". Nothing about feet of extra material, labor, or anything. When questioned again, I think they thought we would just pay it because we're nice?? But there were not any numbers to suffice. Via email they told us we were "overthinking it"... still without providing us true numbers of increased material. Again we're not going to just pay it. We ended up measuring it out and sending the numbers to Gio before he actually showed up to remeasure. We were quoted at 284ft. We only used 279ft and added a gate. We paid ~$197.00 extra, not $1,800. I will say their laborers were fantastic! But I'm not sure that I would want to have to spend time trying to schedule or deal with yucky sales tactics again. We have more fencing to add on and will be going elsewhere. read more

Golden Fence was extremely communicative about the status of our job, got the job done as soon as weather allowed and did great quality work. Would work with them again without hesitation. read more

Needed the yard fenced in with a gate and they did good work. Finished in a day. Took off one star due to communication. Didn't always respond timely and that worried us at first. In the end once they finally arrived (delays due to rain) we are happy with the work. read more

Octavio was great along with the crew that he sent out. They had repaired my fence two years ago just a few panels, but I knew I would need a new fence in a couple of years. I called and got an immediate response from the office and Octavio came out and got a quote immediately along with an email of the quote. Since I had many panels that had fallen with the recent storm they were able to quickly schedule. The quality of the workmanship and quality of the wood that was used was so good that two neighbors contacted me on how great it looked and it was very sturdy. I would definitely recommend Golden Fence to others and have other neighbors who have used them. read more

Golden Fence - backyard corner traditional cedar fence - Fences & Gates Near Me - Mchenry, Illinois

Beware of this company. They will lure you in with the politeness of an older gentlemen. He will then send his incompetent Son to attempt to smooth over his transgressions. Plain and simple avoid this company. They do not know how to clean up, they do not know how to install. I have so many errors from my install its insane. I will attach pictures ASAP. Please beware of this company and please please please do not spend your money on them. I regret all $7500 spent on this father/son scam team. Everything went wrong. Signed a contract, said it would be completed it in 4 weeks. It ended up taking almost 8 weeks. They did not clean up post installation. I had bricks, metal rods, and major debris everywhere. I have a 65 year old mother who I alongside cleaned up most of the debris with. They sent out a team with 1 home broom and it "broke". They didnt think to send someone out to get a proper broom, or a replacement. They ruined my hose which they used without permission. How did they ruin it? They stuck the end into cement and it ended up hardening over... Another $60 lost... The biggest insult to injury? They dont know how to install the gate closing/locking mechanism. Not only is egregiously off center and has differing heights, the cement they used to hold the post is breaking. This is the absolute worst company you could ever spend your money on. I regret every dollar spent on this incompetent company. I believe they do some fishy things to get positive reviews. Do not trust them, they lie about the most simple things... I promise you do some other research and go with another company, avoid this bait & switch. More pictures incoming. read more

We used their services for our fence a few years ago and more recently for an enclosure. Professional, fantastic quality work that has held up well. Would recommend and would use them again! read more

Octavio was my rep. He was very patient with me as I considered and reconsidered my many options. Prices were very competitive, and the installers did a great job cutting the PVC around the tree on my property line. Not pushy sales people at all. Honest family run company. I wish all contractors were as honest, qualified, experienced and ethical as Golden. Thank you! read more

Octavia and his team are great to work with. We had several requirements. The automatic gate across the driveway is amazing. As are the three magnetic close walk thru gates. highly recommend ! read more

The price was in line with other quotes we got but Golden fence got the work done in a faster timeframe and wasn't a big box store so we went with them. We weren't disappointed at all. There was a slight mix up on the first day that ended up delaying the start of build but they got it cleared up and within 3 days, we had our beautiful new fence and I AM IN LOVE!!! It looks amazing! Thank you Octavio and all the crew at Golden Fence! read more

Golden fence helped us when we were in a huge bind! We unfortunately had major tree damage that occurred during a storm and needed an immediate fence repair. Eric came out within a day and surveyed the damage and provided a timely quote. His crew came out a few days later to repair our damaged fence. I wasn't home when the work was performed but they got the job done and did not leave a mess. In times of labor & material shortages they really came through for us and we are extremely grateful! read more

I set up an appointment with the company to get and estimate a week prior to the date that the estimator/sales person was to come out. They gave me a 2 hour window and picked the date themselves. The day I was to meet the estimator I waited for 2 hours and no one showed up or called to cancel. I called the company and they said that they would reach out to the estimator/sales person and get back to me. I received a call back saying that they can not reach the estimator/sales person and that I should reschedule. After 2 hour of waiting and no phone call or any type of communication how can you trust a company like that to be prompt in doing the work or even have confidence to wait an other 2 hours on a different day just so they can have a shot at your business. I am embarrassed for them and if it was my company the estimator/sales person would be looking for a new employer. read more

Don't waste your time or money. Scheduled to come out 2 weeks in advance. They call 45 minutes before appointment and say, "would you like to schedule a more convenient day? We can't come out today" I paused and said, "nope- you've said quite enough about your company" read more

What a great experience I recently had with the team at Golden fence. Octavio was my representative, he came out walked me all of my options, explained all the different materials, designs, styles and helped me pick a fence type that was right for my needs and budget. They took care of permits and ground markings before the installation. On the day of installation the crew chief introduced himself and the crew, we walked the yard to make sure his drawing and instructions meet my expectations. Two days later I had a completed fence that looks awesome. Call them you will not be disappointed. read more

I tried contacting this company a year ago and didn't get a response. Then I figured I'd try them again this year and their sale representative literally came to my house to give me a quote and measure my backyard and never even called me back with the quote. Thanks for wasting my time. read more

Zero stars for Golden Fence. Giovanni, one of the owners, provided our quote. We waited 3 weeks longer than expected but we did understand delays can occur. At no time did the company respond to us when we waited. Once the install occured, the problems piled up from product quality to installation. Not sure what was worse, the service or quality. Cheapest products from China used and not what we were quoted. When we reached out specially to Giovanni he was dismissive, defensive and downright RUDE. He was more interested in arguing than listening to me and my partner. His unprofessional attitude was shocking. He never sent out an installer to help with the fence falling off the hinges. The hinges bent due to poor quality fencing and not being aligned correctly. Nightmare around our pool! Another company had to fix the mess. We spent over $10,000 for flimsy fencing, and that is a complaint. Run from Golden Fence. Their quotes are cheaper because they cut corners and use lowest quality fencing. So disappointing and ruined our summer by our pool. Repairing/redoing the fence cost us over $5000 with another fence company to fix their mess. My stomach hurts when I think about Golden Fence and the aggravation they caused me and my family. I rarely leave reviews but this was a must to WARN OTHERS. Beware! read more

It is such a pleasure to work with a company that just does their job seamless professionally with absolutely no hassle to the consumer! Not to mention the impeccable quality from start to finish. That is Golden Fence. We purchased a replacement vinyl fence from Golden to replace our 10 year old wood fence that this past winter destroyed. Giovanni was the sales person I worked with, TOP NOTCH. And, the office staff, also the best, Mayra in the office made working with the Village of Roselle for permits, inspections and approvals invisible to us... exactly what you hire a company to do. So if you are looking for a high quality company, with high quality product and a work ethic that is top in their business look no further.... HIRE GOLDEN FENCE! If you are reading other reviews below that rated them poorly, trust me those people must not have communicated clearly with the Golden Team. I just can't tell how perfectly this company and their entire team works! Quality....Quality...Quality !! read more

Absolutely fantastic company to work with. Knocked out my fence in a day. Pull old fence and install new postmaster steel posts and cedar fence. Great communication. Great workmanship. Everything was perfect. A+++++ read more

Golden Fence - A++++ fantastic job!!! Great communication, Great workmanship. All around perfect. - Fences & Gates Near Me - Mchenry, Illinois

Octavio (one of the owners?) came out to give me a quote to put in an oak horse fence. Half way through the job he told me he didn't measure correctly and wanted hundreds of dollars more to complete the job. I said I'd pay half. When project was finished my horses told me the posts were pine--a soft wood that horses loved to eat. Some posts were eaten halfway through. Fence was beautiful but would fall down within months if left alone. Octavio said he could fix it but at a cost of THOUSANDS of dollars more!! I said I'd pay half. Haven't heard from him since. Also 2 of his workers did not know how to back a trailer and did quite a lawn job across my property and took out a drainage ditch. I made them fix it before paying them for this separate job. I am a 73 year old female and I feel I was taken advantage of. They saw me coming. They find ways to keep padding the job. NOT REPUTABLE! read more

Eric and his team installed a fence for us. Its not only beautiful but its functional. We chose a metal decorative fence, and the prep, install and follow up were amazing. The work was completed very timely and neatly. If you're thinking about installing a fence, Eric and Golden Fence are a definite yes in my book. read more

This is the second time we've used Giovanni and Golden Fence. Three years ago they installed a four foot cedar fence with a double door at my moms house. The customer service was prompt, courteous and getting the permit and inspections was quickly completed. We just completed a six foot cedar fence at our house and it looks great. After an arduous permit process, Giovanni stayed positive and the crew promptly installed the fence after 2 months of permit delays. It's perfectly straight, great quality, in the exact location requested and they obviously know what they are doing. Thank you so much for sticking with us and getting it done! read more

We had a great experience with Golden Fence. They came highly recommended from a friend and we were not disappointed. Octavio, the salesman, was extremely helpful in selecting the right fence for us. He was always available to answer my questions and extremely understanding of having to reschedule the project multiple times. It is a family owned business and you can tell how much pride Octavio had in the quality of work Golden Fence provided. Mauricio, the foreman, and his crew crafted a beautiful fence that we love. They even were willing to make several changes on the spot when I was not completely satisfied. They also provided insight on the best placement of the gate since I had limited knowledge and I am glad I took their advice. I would and have recommended Golden Fence to all in the market. They are extremely professional and passionate about their trade! read more

We are a 12-unit townhome complex in Arlington Heights. We chose Golden Fence to replace our 23 year old fence with the same material; seal and stain the wood. Their work was excellent, from start to finish. They were always on time, and kept us completely informed along the way. Many of our residents have commended on how great the new fence looks. We can strongly recommend Golden Fence. read more

I want to thank the professionals at Golden Fence for the great work they did on putting up my new 120-foot commercial grade chain link fence here in Lincoln Park. I was impressed with the quality of their work -- they did the extra things like cutting off a two-inch chunk off a middle fence to ensure that they stayed totally with two inches to the property line. I was also glad that they came to work in cold weather so I could get the job done yet this year. I highly recommend these people for work in Chicago as well as the suburbs! read more

Golden Fence was the most professional and reasonably priced companies we dealt with when looking to put in gates and fencing. Giovanni gave a quick quote, Myra contacted J.U.L.I.E. and got the permit asap. They scheduled the work as soon as the permit was approved. The work was beautifully done! Totally recommend! read more

I would give Golden Fence zero stars if that was an option. This company does sloppy incomplete work. They spilled quick dry concrete on my neighbors pathway and left it to set. Golden fence also left a rusted metal plate on the front gate unpainted and stuck a plastic door bell on the front of it, not what we agreed to. They claim they are finished. I am hiring another fence company to clean up after Golden Fence and repair the poorly crafted work they performed. This company is a joke, find someone else to to your work, you will 100% regret hiring Golden Fence. read more

These guys did a great job installing my 6' cedar fence on the east side of my backyard. There was a time concern as well as I had a tenant moving in and had promised the fence to be complete before they arrived and even though it was winter and otherwise tough conditions, Eric and Giovanni made sure to get the job scheduled and completed on time - in the middle of January. The fence looks fantastic and I plan on bringing them back to do the other side once I'm ready. read more
