YG Fence Nightmare - Part II Part 1 review - I hired YG Fencing to do $45,000 worth of wood and wrought iron fence work tree and removal at my home. In the process, Gavino, the CEO and my contact, caused $2,950.00 worth of damage to my pool. He readily acknowledged his fault and agreed to pay for the restoration work in total. He promised to pay the full balance by the completion of the work, which was completed on April 20, 2026. He did not honor his word and continued to avoid making restitution until finally making a partial payment of $2,000.00. When asked to pay the remaining $950.00 he refused citing the need for proof of workers' compensation insurance, W-9, and a contractor's license and general liability insurance. Part II - On June 27, 2026, I paid the remaining $950.00 of Gavino's responsibility that YG Fencing refuses to pay. I cannot in good conscience screw honest, hardworking small business owners out of compensation for work contracted for and completed the way YG Fencing does with such ease. Had I read their Yelp and Better Business Bureau reviews before signing a contract with them, I would have seen how this kind of business behavior is not at all out of the ordinary. In fact, since my intital Yelp review, I have had other readers who were clients of YG Fencing contact me sharing their similar stories of nightmare experiences with YG Fencing. Most refer to Gavino's ability to make such a strong positive first impression that the customer is lulled into a false sense of security that makes them let their guard down and not research this sham company more thoroughly. Shame on me for falling for Gavino's conman tactics. Had I read the reviews, I would NEVER have gone with this sorry excuse of a business. YG Fencing's request for workers' compensation insurance, W-9, and a contractor's license and general liability insurance is just another example of them trying to avoid their responsibility for the damage Gavino caused to my pool through negligent practices during the installation of the wrought iron fence around my pool. If securing these items was truly an issue, why did YG Fencing FINALLY after a series of excuses, lies, and machinations, make the partial payment of $2,000.00? YG Fencing was not using the pool restoration company, a sole proprietor company, as a sub-contractor. These documents were unnecessary. I am assuming they needed time to come up with yet another reason as to why they couldn't honor their word. Again, while Gavino was quick to acknowledge his fault, his actions on behalf of YG Fencing for the past 3 months prove that he was actively trying to avoid honoring his word and "doing the right thing" (his words, not mine) to remedy the situation. The request for these documents is absurd and clear evidence of manipulation. Again, as I said in my first review, steer WAY clear of YG Fencing. read more

I have never bothered giving a review, but I feel I must given the terrible experience I have had with YG fencing. It's going on about four months since I contracted with YG and still the job is not completed. YG continuously failed to meet his own deadlines to install. After initial install about two months ago I paid several thousand dollars in full. I was left with defective lock and missing several other gate pieces. I have had to repeatedly call/text to ask for completion. On the few times he responded, he committed to complete the items. Now after four months, no completion and he fails to respond. I am stuck with a defective lock and missing other pieces he committed to doing. DO NOT USE THIS GUY! And if you do, do not pay him until you are fully satisfied the work is complete. Terrible experience! Note: This is a reposting of my original negative post. YG had asked me to take the original post down and they would do as they had originally committed. The did replace the lock, but still continually failed to correct the other items when they responded saying they would. Now approx. seven months of begging them to do as they committed (and their responding and then failing to act and respond), I am reposting the original negative review. Again - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Also note that owner Ruben's comments are all incorrect (they originally committed to doing these minor items) and he was the one that asked me to take the original post down. He and another owner then repeatedly committed to fixing them to no avail. read more

I am very impressed with Y G Fencing with the beautiful and quality workmanship from a Master craftsmanship installing an Iron/ Wood composite S RV gate and single gate on both side of the house. The great quality of work was very impressive to give my home a luxurious look. The home improvement to my house with this beautiful gate increase the value of the home. I had several contractors come to my home to give me estimate and recommendations of the variety type of workmanship they offered for a modern gate. I selected "YG Fencing" for their respectful , patient , trustworthy and positive customer services. read more

YG Fencing did a fantastic job manufacturing and installing our wrought iron fence with Trex Deck wood. From the consultation to the install, Gavino kept us in the loop on the progress of the fence fabrication and schedule of the install. The workers were prompt and very hard working. One of my neighbors took a look at the finished product and has already contacted Gavino to build him a fence. If you want a great product at a fair and reasonable price, I highly recommend YG Fencing. They are outstanding! read more

My neighbor and I decided to have matching new wrought iron gates installed in place of our faded wood gates to our side yard. We called Y G Fencing and talked to Yadira Garcia about giving us a bid. He said he was close to our homes and could see us in about an hour. When he came he was friendly and very knowledgeable about what we wanted. He took measurements and sent us a bid that evening. After checking around with others we became aware of Y G Fencing's high quality materials that he used in his fabrication and his price was agreeable. Best decision we ever made. The gates are beautiful, first quality and a great added value to our property. Thank you Yadira. Tim read more

YG Fencing - Fences & Gates Near Me

UPDATE: It took some back and forth but my door is now completed. Because of the length of time it took I gave 3 stars. Other than that I'm happy with the results, my door finally closes and the job has been completed. If I could give 0 stars i sure would. I have contacted this place several times to come fix the gate they installed in October 2024. They have lied and said they would come on a few occasions but each time NEVER SHOWED. Waisting my time. Now I am stuck with a useless front door gate. DO NOT PAY unless you make sure the job is done the right way. Unfortunately, I will have to escalate this situation. Lucky for them i got sick for a while or this would have already been escalated. Bad for business especially when you DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS, makes it seem like it's all about the money, leaving a sour taste in your customers mouth when they were just teaching out for assistance. We would have had more work for this company but the work went elsewhere. DO NOT TRUST. read more

We were in desperate need of our shared fence to be replaced. I reached out to 3 company's I found here on yelp. While all 3 responded and came out to give quotes, Gabino was the only one to actually follow through. He was very competitive on his bid. His workers did an awesome job. The fence came out as beautiful as a fence can be. When he rebuilt our gate, he included a wrought iron reinforcement instead of the basic wood z boards which will last forever. All said, I highly recommend YG Fencing and will call him when we're ready for the back and other neighbors side to be done. read more

Great customer service and great work. Price are fair and he is willing work with you budget.

Gabino and his guys did an amazing job! From contacting them for a quote to completion of the job he provided updates and kept me informed. The material and workmanship is phenomenal! They knocked out the job quickly and cleaned up very nicely when finished. Would highly recommend them. read more

YG, This is in response to your answer... Number one my neighbor and I purchased a whole new fence for the yard. .,when you came to do a quote for that fence, you stated you would throw in a new gate at no charge! You never discussed anything with me about any details about that gate , wood, metal etc.! Number two I never said anything about the wood to use, that was never even discussed! Number three your workers drilled into my home , as you can see from the pictures, breaking my stucco and damaging my home! If you had cemented the post which is proper procedure, there would be no reason to put any big screws into my home and damaging my stucco and my home! The cement not the screws would be holding the post in place! also the post is short. At any rate those are the facts! YG... I did tell you about the gate when I was paying your worker for doing the other side of fence, same day. he did not speak any English so he called you on the phone and your answer to me was wood warps. As far as screwing the post into the house, that was never like that..... Again , post not cemented in and short ...... we will move on from this now.... read more

I contacted YG Fencing for an estimate on an iron gate. The owner was extremely responsive to my needs and questions. I was impressed by the professionalism that I also hired them to do concrete work in the front yard and back yard. I'm completely satisfied with the work that was done. I highly recommend them, their quality of craftsmanship is very good. Everything that was quoted ended up being that, no surprises at all. Gavino went above and beyond, and even when I call him with questions, still now, he responds in a timely manner. These days it is hard to find business that perform work by building a trust with their clients. YG Fencing is just that business you want to call! read more

Met with Gabino and he was really helpful with deciding on what I wanted and providing options. Both fences came out great.

I had YG fencing put up a fence and a gate for me. After the work was done I found that the wrong piece of wood was used on the bottom of the gate (confirmed by the owner) and this caused the gate to bind and split the powder coat off the hinge which is now rusting. I have been trying for a year now to have them fix this and all I have gotten is the run around. I will have to fix it myself now. Please be careful using YG fencing. read more

Beware of this company and get other quotes! We hired them to complete some chain link fencing on our property. The owner (Gabino) came out and gave us the estimate and appeared to listen to our requests. He shrugged it all off as "No problem, we'll handle it." The guys he sent to do the work spoke no english and made it difficult to ask things so I used google translate which they still didn't comprehend or understand. They had to return a 3rd day to complete what the owner said he would handle. I never saw the owner again, just the workers. One guy spent a half hour in the bathroom in our house which made the homeowner uncomfortable. They didn't install the pole straight either. Regardless, after the work was finally complete, they left waste everywhere. Cut fencing, metal shards, etc. I have dogs and people that frequent our back yard and this is unacceptable. Also, He never sent me a final paid receipt after asking him for 2 weeks. Unprofessional! read more

I got quotes from 3 companies and YG was very competitive while proposing extensive use of steel posts and a steel gate. Due to the shared fence, it took a number of weeks for us on the buyers' side to finalize approval, and YG was very patient and professional. They finished the work in 2 half days. read more

If you want fast response, timely updates, honest opinions, professional interaction, and all-around excellent service, Gavino and YG Fencing provides it. He left my home after inspecting my situation about 4:30- ON A FRI- and I had a quite professional and fair estimate shortly before 6p! (Did I mention "on a FRI"?) He is very personable and says it straight. This is "The Guy". read more

Called YG Fencing for a problem w my electric gate. The door was stuck and would not close. I was able to schedule a visit within an hour. Communication was great, they were on time, assessed the issue and repaired the gate. Honest, knowledgeable and helpful service. Gave recommendations so that our gate can continue to work properly. I'm adding YG to my list of reliable repairmen. 100% recommended! read more

I was in the market for two iron/wood gates so I began the process of looking for a high quality contractor. If you have ever looked for a good contractor, you know its really hard to find someone who is professional, reliable and honest. Before reaching out to YG, I was dealing with contractors who would not call back, would not show up or some who seemed like they were just trying to rip you off or brush you off by providing ball park quotes over the phone that were 2-3x higher than anyone else. From the get go, Gabino was very professional and kept very good communication throughout. We set up an appointment for an onsite visit and he showed up exactly when he said he would. I explained to him what I was looking for and he provided a very reasonable estimate. He showed me some of the work he had done and let me know what I could expect as far as timeline for the project. All in all, he made the process very easy for me. If he was running a bit late, he would call me just to let me know. There weren't any hiccups, or misunderstandings. He delivered exactly what he said he would in the timeframe he initially provided. Gabino and his team exceeded my expectation and did not disappoint! I highly recommend YG fencing! read more

YG Fencing - Left side fence - Fences & Gates Near Me

Absolutely amazing work!! I needed a new side gate from the front of my house leading into the backyard. At the time, I had a wooden gate that was literally falling apart. I had put it off for awhile so now it was urgent that I get it done. Gavino got back to me very quickly and was also able to come out for an estimate within a day or two. I didn't want another wooden gate. I opted to get a metal one. I knew it would be more secure, look nicer and also be similar to the gate I already have in the front of my home. I also needed two sheets of sheet metal to repair 2 security screen doors that had been damaged. Gavino got back to me by the following day with a very reasonable quote which I immediately agreed to. So if you are needing any type of work like this, Y&G Fencing is the place to go with. Thank you Gavino for the wonderful work you did at my home! I have no doubt I will have more projects for you soon! read more

We gave YGF our ideas to transform our backyard and the team of professionals executed all of our needs with quality and precision. They refinished our drainage pipes, laid concrete and turf, created our flower bed, installed electrical and gas lines, built our shed and gazebo, and included 3 well-made iron gates. They also expanded our driveway, curbed our perimeter and sidewalk trees, and laid fescue in the front. We are in awe of how everything has turned out and cannot wait to make everlasting memories in our yards! read more

My back fence needed replaced after a tree came down across it. Gabino was the first person to get back to me even though it was a holiday weekend. He was able to survey the site and give me a bid within a couple of days. Compared to the other bids, YG Fencing was right in the middle of the pack, but Gabino's experience and his attention to detail put him way ahead of the other fence builders. From start of project to finish it took just about two weeks, and Gabino's crew also managed to save a star jasmine we had growing along the back fence, while other contractors just wanted to rip it out. The fence YG Fencing built is the nicest fence I've ever owned--excellent durable materials and quality construction. My mom is going to replace her fence soon, and I won't let her go with any other fence contractor. Great quality and great value! read more

We ask several companies for estimates. YG fencing was one of the best estimates we got. We didn't have a lot of communication with them, but I would not have been unhappy to have them do our fence. My wife chose another company because she was more familiar with it, and had friends who used them before. read more
