    Fence Before No. 3

    Phil repaired a 16ft. long 5.5ft high cedar trim and cap design privacy fence. One side was completely replaced because both posts needed replacement. The other side only required minor repair. He quoted me a fair price and said he would have the job done within a week. He met my expectations on both price and schedule. During the project he also fixed a gate on the other side of the house which was difficult to close for a small price adjustment. He met my expectations based on past favorable Yelp reviews. I will definitely call him again for future projects.

    Phil's fence he cleared 2' of dirt to make it perfect & even.

    Hire him! I got 4 quotes from fence guys. Phil's quote was the most reasonable, honest & he used good quality wood ( cedar planks, pressure treated rails) He used 4"x8" bottom rail to make my new fence much more secure & last longer, 2"x"4" top rail standard for 6' fence. Other companies told me it would take 2 days, Phil got it done in 1 day using rust proof deck screws & doing a very professional job. Showed up on time got the job done quickly , & was very professional. He had to clear away 2' of dirt 40' long to make the fence even. Will be recommending him to friends who need fences or gates. Nice to find an honest, fairly priced contractor .

    Cedar fence with lattice

    Phil built a new fence for us, and we're really happy with how it turned out. The work looks clean and solid. I appreciated how simple he made the process and that he gave me a quote right away without needing an appointment. Would definitely recommend him if you need a fence built.

    post pulling away from wall, bottom gap is approx 1/2" while the top is binding to the point of not being able to open

    Phil did fine on the cedar fence but failed miserably on the gate. Installed and charged me for spring hinges which he installed then could get them to work, so back to H/Depot to buy an exterior spring which he also could not get to work. Used nails to secure the post to stucco wall and every time the gate closed (after I installed the exterior spring myself) the post pulled away from the wall causing the gate to tilt and bind. Called back after a couple months to fix and just cut the gate so it wouldn't bind. Not addressing the post pulling away from the wall. Called him back to come back to fix and after three weeks agreed to come out and fix the following week. That was on September 11th never came by, never contacted me. This is just a case of contractor doing things the easy way instead of the RIGHT WAY! Does not stand behind his work!

    Phil built a really nice gate for me. He knows what he's doing and I was more than pleased to I highly recommend.

    New redwood gate

    Phil replaced an old rotted gate with this new one. He did a great job and was lowest of 3 quotes.

    The double gates on the side of my house leading to the backyard and the double gates hiding the pool equipment were old, rotted, and heavy. Following my request for a quote on Yelp, Phil replied promptly and gave me a very fair price to replace two sets of double gates. On the scheduled day, Phil was punctual, friendly, and professional. He built all of the gates onsite and finished the project in only one day! The quality of the work was beautiful and impeccably done. It is obvious that Phil takes great pride in his work. I am having him back next week to build a couple more gates, and I can't wait to see the finished product. I would highly recommend Phil for all of your gate and fence needs.

    Fallen fence, Phil came out within 72 hours of calling him !!

    We purchased or home before it was built. Our builder installed wooden side gate was already…read morerepaired once and now was sagging, warping and just getting old. It was time to replace it with something sturdier and less likely to warp, shrink, fade. I did a lot of research on what materilas would best hold up to the brutal So Cal summers we have. I also had to keep within the Architectural guidelines of our HOA for fences. I found a company in Orange, CA, called SoCal Gates. I established contact with the owner, Ray, who is a really knowledgeable and personable guy to work with. We scheduled an appointment for him to come to our home to show us color samples of the composite material we would choose for him to use in our steel framed gate. Ray arrived, and had us look at the different colored composite samples while he took his measurements. He then went over with us the color choices and which ones would intergrate best with our home's exterior colors, including the tiled roof and front entry door and garage door. He explained how he visualized the gate would look, once mounted. We agreed on the materials and and the price. He mentioned that his installation pricing included the removal of the gate from the cinder block wall it was attached to, but did not include the removal of the old fence post or the haul away fo the old fence. After hiring another fence company to remove the fence post, back fill with concrete and haul away all of the old fence, Ray told he would've done it had I specifically asked him, for an extra charge. In fact, he told me how to remove the old post myself, so that gave me the impression he would prefer to just to install the gate with the old fence gone and the area prepped for his installation. After the HOA approved my gate plan, It only took a few weeks for Ray to build our gate and to schedule a date and time for the installation. On the day of the installation, I watched Ray assemble and install my agte, He is meticulous and thoughtful throughout his installation process. He showed me how to change out the composite planks if I ever needed to, and how to program our electronic lockest. We are very happy with out new sturdy, side gate. I would recommend anyone needing a new steel framed gate with composite planking to contact Ray.

We just had our gates installed by SoCal Gates, and Ray was super easy to work with, he quoted us our price, and gave us several options for the project. When it came to installation he was very quick. Got to our home first thing in the morning and finished the project in about 3 hours. Our new gates look beautiful.

They were able to fit us in earlier than expected, and even with a late start, Nick and his assistant stayed late to finish everything in one day. That level of commitment really stood out. They walked us through material options (we chose redwood pickets), and the finished fence looks beautiful. Their attention to detail was excellent, from precise measurements to clean trimming. They also made sure our gate met hot tub safety requirements with a self-closing hinge and 5-foot latch position, and even added a smart privacy slat improvement we hadn't considered. We've already had neighbors compliment the fence. Highly recommend!

Nick gave me a very competitive quote for a brand new vinyl fence that also included adding a door to one side that previously did not have a door. Nick worked with me and did everything by the book, as we have a pool so the way the gate had to be put together was specific. Not only was he on time, him and his team finished the job in one day when it was initially scheduled for a two day job. Excellent work and an excellent value, highly recommend Nick and his team.

After getting several quotes and communicating with a few different companies, I decided to go with Superior Fence and I'm so glad I did. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They were responsive, reliable, and kept me updated every step of the way to make sure I was happy with the process and the results. That level of transparency really gave me peace of mind. They also offered a variety of options and even took the time to help me look at different stone choices for the pillars so I could find exactly what I wanted. Their suggestions were thoughtful and really helped bring the whole project together. The final result looks amazing. The fence feels sturdy, high-quality, and gives the privacy we were hoping for, while also adding a really nice aesthetic to the property. On top of that, the workmanship and materials are backed by a warranty, which was very important to me. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the quality of work, their professionalism, and the level of communication throughout the entire project. If you're looking for a company that does great work, offers fair pricing, and keeps you informed and comfortable throughout the process, I highly recommend Superior Fence.

They worked with us and supported us even after the job was completed to make sure we were completely satisfied.
