Hired Sturdy Fence to replace an entire side of my backyard fence that was falling apart and covered by vines and obstructed by other foliage. Sturdy Fence came out and did a great job carefully clearing the area, removing the old fence, and installing a new fence with lattice. The crew of 4-5 was on time, polite, and cleaned up after themselves. Prior to installation day, Sturdy Fence was also easy to communicate with and shared different options and considerations with us. They weren't pushy at all and answered my many questions. The person who came out to survey the fence to give a better estimate also explained everything patiently and wasn't pushy either. They gave a super fair price, so I didn't hesitate to contract with them for the job. Overall, a happy customer and would recommend for any fence jobs! read more

Mike and his son Ken, and their hard-working team did an excellent job of replacing an old 60 foot fence with a beautiful new, high quality Redwood fence! Communication was excellent throughout. The quote was in the middle of the three I received, so very reasonable. The team did a great job of cleanup afterwards. The project was completed in less than eight hours from tearing down the old fence to installing the new one. Very pleased with this company and will definitely recommend them to anyone who has a fence project!. read more

I was happy to see that during the recent storms over the holidays, my new fence built by Sturdy Fence has been holding up very well! And it reminded me that I I never wrote a review about my great experience. I have nothing but great things to say about Sturdy Fence, from Ken's extremely prompt and competitive quote for a fence replacement, to easy and reliable scheduling and on-time execution. Will highly recommend to anyone I know needing fence work done. read more

Mike and his team did a great job! I appreciated the customer service I received. They cleaned up their work area when finished- no debris or nails left over. I would do business with Sturdy Fence again. read more

We used Sturdy Fence Co. to replace the fence between us and our neighbors. The process of scheduling a visit for a quote, to making an appointment for having our fence replaced was fast and easy. Mike promptly answered all of my questions and was quickly able to do our fence. Mike and his team did a great job on the fence! They were fast and efficient, and provided excellent customer service. I received a quality product, and feel good about supporting a small family owned business. read more

We contacted 3 companies to quote for our neighbor-shared fence project. The first company was outrageous - $2K more than the other 2 quotes. In the end, It was a toss between Sturdy Fence and the company we finally worked with, which had a slightly lower quote for the same materials. As retirees with a limited budget, every cent counts. Nevertheless, we want to acknowledge Ken of Sturdy Fence - he was punctual, knew his stuff, and showed us photos of their other jobs to give us an idea of what to expect. We may not work with them this time but Sturdy Fence will remain in our To Call list for future projects. We wish this family-owned business continued success. read more

Sturdy Fence did a great job for me. Mike made sure all details were clarified beforehand. On the day of the job, the crew showed up on time and knocked out the job really fast. Ken was a great field manager and kept things on track, and made sure things were done well. Mike even came back after the job was done to replace a latch that we wanted replaced to make sure we were totally satisfied. read more

The wooden gate in the yard wouldn't close. They responded quickly, came for an on-site evaluation, and provided a reasonable quote. The repair was fast, and communication was smooth. Recommended. read more

Fast service for converting a fence to a gate. Got the job done and worked around my schedule. Reasonable price.

My old fence blew over in the last wind storm. Mike was able to come and give a quote fairly quickly, and offered to replace or repair the fence -- whatever I wanted. I decided to replace, and am very glad I did. He and 1 or 2 helpers put in a very sturdy and beautiful 62-ft redwood fence and gate in just under 5 hours of work! I like that Mike did much of the work himself (instead of sending a team of people you never met before). He also was able to reinforce a different fence that I share with a neighbor who is not friendly toward us. So now I have some very sturdy and attractive posts that ensure the other fence won't fall on my side of the property. Mike is very easy to talk to and friendly. He's a little old-fashioned with the written quote sent via snail mail (not email), but I kind of liked that about him. He's been in this business for a long time. read more

Mike replaced the old wood swing gate which was falling part, with a new wood swing gate. The new gate is screwed together, not nailed together like the old gate, so it is sturdier and will last longer. Mike was responsive with making a quote, and performing the work. Definitely, I would use Mike again for fence / gate work. read more

Mike did a fabulous job on my mom's fence. His work was done quickly & with excellence. I will do work with him in the future & highly recommend him. read more

Our side fence fell down in one of the recent storms. Sturdy fence came right out to give us an estimate. They suggested 2x8 posts to make the fence better. (Which the rest of our fence isn't!) When we were ready to go ahead with the job, they were able to do the fence on a Saturday! They didn't want us to wait and go into the next month! We were out of town and the office called us with updates. The fence is great! Sturdy fence knows what they are doing! They aren't the most affordable but definitely one of the best! I guess you get what you pay for! read more

Sturdy Fence was great to work with. They responded promptly to my request for a quote. They were here when they said they would be, both for the estimate and to complete the work. The work was done within the amount of time they quoted and they did a nice job of cleaning up after themselves. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I called Mike to secure a quote and received more than a great experience. He is responsive and ready to serve. High quality quote, great material sourcing all at a great price.

If you are looking to install/repair a wooden fence, you need look no further. Mike at Sturdy Fence has got it down. He does the estimate and he and his excellent crew do the work. We needed a 55 foot replacement with a gate, and it was done smoothly in 2 1/5 hours. I could not give higher marks to Mike and his crew. Now if I could just find a plumber of equal caliber. read more

Their service exceeded my high expectations. Easy communications and a high quality installation of 200 feet of fence. Very fair pricing. I will definitely recommend them to friends. Thanks, Mike and crew! read more

Excellent communication and planning, and quality work. Highly recommend Mike and his team.

Mike from Sturdy Fence did a great job repairing and replacing my Fence. It was broken in 3 places after the big wind storm. He was timely, neat and did an overall great job! read more

Exceptional company to work with. Excellent communication, highly responsive and professional, and very fair pricing. ​

this review is long overdue. we hired Mike to install a new backyard gate a couple of months ago. He came when he was supposed to, installed it while I was away, and did a superb job. The wood looked really good and the gate hinges swung perfectly; he had to work with a 70-yr-old fence frame, too. All at a reasonable cost. I heartily recommend him for any fencing project.

I contacted Mike to get a quote on replacing a stretch of redwood fencing taken out by a drunk woman in our neighborhood. Not a very big project, but he came out the next day and gave me a quick estimate....I confirmed it with him the next day and he was there early in the morning and built it in one day....It looks great and matches exactly with the wood and style of the original strip of fence....Very satisfied and would recommend highly........Charlene Gayle Granse read more

Mike and crew recently completed a repair of our side fence with our neighbor. The sections they replaced were seamless to the rest. Their workmanship is top notch and the job was completed quickly. They also did a great job on two other sides of my property previously. That was why I considered no one else but them for this job, even though my neighbor went to get other quotes. One should be able to infer that when my neighbor and I can agree to use Sturdy Fence, their pricing has to be fair and reasonable. When the owner and his son still work along side with their crew (they used to complete the jobs only by themselves), you know it will be done right. read more

My back fence was blown down in the recent storms. All the fence contractors I contacted were too busy to respond or unable to get around to my Sunnyvale house for months. Mike and the Sturdy Fence team came to our rescue a few weeks after I contacted them. They replaced and upgraded my back fence on a cool, rainy day. Their work was first-rate, the team was very professional, and we had a great new fence installed in one day! I recommend Sturdy Fence. Scott D, Sunnyvale read more

Sturdy Fence - Mike replaced 3 posts and saved our plants!! - Fences & Gates Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

Mike is a good old fashioned straight shooter guy. He didn't try to sell me for more than I wanted, and gave practical advice for saving/reusing fence materials that were in good condition. Installation was super fast! I wasn't home while it happened, but the yard area was left in very clean condition and fencing work looked great. Mike himself followed up with a phone call that afternoon to gauge satisfaction and came by personally the next day to pick up payment. I would absolutely recommend Sturdy Fence for your fencing needs. read more

Our fence was leaning after a storm. 3-4 posts needed replacement. Mike gave a quick estimate, the quote was reasonable, and he looked genuine. That's why I chose Sturdy fence over others. Mike finished the job within the time he promised and the work was solid. I was away the during the work, my neighbor also liked his works ethics and thanked me for finding a great contractor. I wish there are more contractors like him. read more

I called Mike to get an estimate for a small job replacing five rotted fence posts and a 2x4 bottom board on a fence shared with a neighbor. Mike came out within a day or two and gave us a reasonable estimate. It took a while for us to work through other estimates and after all that was done, we settled on having Mike come out due to his great reviews and how he answered all our questions. Once we let him know we would like his help on getting our fence fixed, Mike kept us updated on when he would be able to come out. He and his coworker arrived when expected, were very efficient and did a great job replacing the fence posts. The area where they worked was left very clean. We highly recommend Mike for any fence work you might need done as he was very easy to work with and does the work well. read more

Well, great fast service and punctuality! Quickly performs the calculation and very accurately

Mike and crew work very fast and does an exceptional job. Pricing is very fair, reasonable and respectful of time and costs. This is during Covid-19, when we are all home, staring at our homes and the work that needs to get done. The time is now and Mike is fairly busy but will fit you in. You are not waiting long for a call back or to get the work done. He arrives wearing a mask and has no need to be supervised. The work is excellent. I know that my new fence and gate will not only last the next storm but the next 20 years. read more

Mike was prompt, great at communicating, and did a fine job. I'll happily use him again anytime I need fence work.

They rebuilt our broken fence, and put in gates as requested many, many years ago. That fence is still standing strong and the gates all work. An easy name to remember--'sturdy'! read more

Mike replaced a fence shared with a neighbor as well as our gate and side fence in August 2020. He does the work himself along with his son. He does a very fast, meticulous job. His workmanship is excellent and he has fair prices which he committed to. I would highly recommend him for any fence job. He is busy, so make sure you can get on his schedule. read more

Mike was responsive, friendly, and fairly priced. I reached out to a few folks for a small AC unit fence I needed. Mike was quick to respond (left an estimate at my door while I was at work) answered all of my follow ups, and squeezed my job in between some others as I had a permit deadline. His price was good compared to the estimates I got, and the final product was exactly what I wanted. Just an overall pleasant experience. If I need another fence done, will 100% call Mike first. read more
