Fence Contractor reviews across the US

Had Ryan by in 2020 to build out a project too big for myself to complete. He and his team built us a 100’ long 6’ high retaining wall with a 6’ fence above it. Super communicative and negotiated on price when needed. 3 years later and it looks great. No complaints from me!

Ryan and team did a fantastic job on our deck work. The craftsmanship is excellent and their attention to detail to ensure safety was above and beyond. We are very happy with the finished product and Ryan was great at giving us a number of options and ideas as needed.

Ryan and his crew did an amazing job building a fantastic looking fence even on short notice. They banged out a 40' fence in ONE DAY including stain at a great price. I highly recommend using Riggins if you want a high quality, really good looking fence for your place.

Ryan and his crew built us a beautiful new fence of clear cedar with 3 gates, all for a reasonable price. It was a new fence, so they did a great job at following the property boundaries I marked out and clearing out some shrubs and trees that were in the way too. Clean, quick, and easy to work with.

This is our second time working with Ryan. Last year Ryan built a beautiful fence. This time he got rid of an old deck in our back yard. We would use him again but decided to go with concrete. He's honest, hard working, professional and super easy to work with.

I hired Ryan to install a horizontal ipe fence. I was a bit worried because ipe is a very hard wood and challenging to work with. But Ryan is very experienced, and he and his crew handled the job easily. The fence fully met and often exceeded my expectations for quality craftsmanship. There are very few contractors who hold themselves to as high a standard as Ryan does. He takes pride in his work, and even when he knew that I would let some things slide, he always did what it took--whether it's moving a post or replacing a board--to maintain the high standards he sets for himself. He also gave me some advice on how to fix a separate issue in the yard, which worked out great. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would not hesitate to hire Ryan again for future projects.

Ryan and his team were incredible. Communication was a breeze, and the work that was completed on our new deck installation and fence was supurb. They tidied up all of their equipment and materials, and were pleasant and did a wonderful job. We will defiantly use them again for future projects.

Where do I begin? I first hired Ryan a little more than three years ago to replace my fence. I am a perfectionist by nature and told Ryan upfront that I expected straight lines, true 90 degree angles, and perfect symmetry. Ryan’s response? Good — so do I. And he did not disappoint. The fence and gates he built for me were superb — perfect even. Perfect lines and perfect angles. In fact, the lines are so clean that when you close the gates they simply disappear.

I knew then that I had found a true craftsman and immediately started looking around for the next project. Cue the deck. Ryan demolished my old dilapidated deck and replaced it with a beautiful IPE deck that probably will last longer than I will. And again, everything is perfect. Perfect lines, and perfect precision. Even better, Ryan basically doesn’t understand the words no or can’t. If I had an idea, he was quick to discuss the pros and cons and tell me the best way to implement. And the results speak for themselves (see attached pictures).

Since then, I’ve basically racked my brain every year to figure out what else I could have Ryan improve. He’s built me a hardscape path, he’s replaced the railing on my front patio, and he’s built my wife a beautiful garden box. Through every project, he’s been an absolute pleasure to work with — letting me know when he was coming and going and cleaning up daily.

In short, I can’t recommend Ryan any higher. He’s a true craftsman who can do just about anything — and a nice guy to boot. If you are thinking about hiring him, do it. You’ll be so pleased that you did.

Ryan RIggins's crew came into our yard after the cyclone blew down 2 trees and destroyed our south side and west side fences. They replaced those sections rapidly and the replacements are very graceful and more beautiful than what was there before. They are works of art.

Professional and trustworthy, I highly recommend Riggins Construction.

Based on the fantastic ratings on Yelp, we decided to hire Ryan from Riggins Construction to build a fence at our new home in West Seattle. The home was a "flip," and while a perimeter fence was in place, the backyard needed to be enclosed for our dogs. We also wanted to create a more private, secure and attractive front yard using decorative fencing and arbors.

Ryan had the middle bid of three, but we felt most comfortable with his expertise and professionalism. Ryan worked so hard to remain in close communication even though we were never home during the hours that he worked on the fence. Text updates, photos, or calls came regularly - from underground pipes necessitating a change in the location of one section of fence, to BTW I moved your UPS package to the back deck - Ryan made me feel completely confident in the way he cared for us and our home.

He uses high quality materials and the quality of his workmanship is beyond my expectations. Which are high. :) Ryan took the time to explain changes he suggested to my design to be certain the fence will be structurally sound for the long term. He also added an Azek floor to the garbage can enclosure we had him create - another fabulous idea which should greatly extend the life of the enclosure even in rainy Seattle.

I am so excited that I can now work on the landscaping and pretty it up - the fence, gates, arbors, and enclosed garbage space have already made an enormous difference to the curb appeal of our home. When a wisteria winds its way up that front arbor in full bloom next Spring, it will be even more special. And not everyone could build me an arbor which they felt could handle a wisteria. Thank you, Ryan, for working so hard to make our house a home!

I had a very positive experience working with Ryan from Riggins Construction. He was prompt in his communication, flexible in figuring out what would work for me and how to get my project completed quickly. The finished work looks great. I will definitely be calling him in the future when projects arise.

Ryan and his crew did fantastic work on a fairly difficult deck replacement. Because of the way our yard slopes and the fact that the entry to our house is five feet off the ground, we have a roofed porch with stairs that lead down to the deck below it. The deck is just above the grade on one side, while it needs to be supported four feet in the air on the other. Add to that a beautiful large cedar tree in the middle of the deck that we wanted to keep, and Ryan definitely had his work cut out for him. However, his problem solving skills on the job and attention to detail left us with a solidly built deck and porch that we believe will hold the rest of the house up when the big earthquake hits. Not only that - it's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that adds value to our lives because we can now enjoy our front yard. I do think the project took longer than Ryan initially anticipated and there were several hiccups along the way due to the nature of our strange yard, but we can't fault Ryan and his crew for not being able to anticipate where tree roots are located. His price was fair considering the quality of the materials he uses and the difficulty of the project. We also had to have a permit for this project, and Ryan was very good about making sure his construction methods were in line with what the inspectors would expect. As a result, we had no issues and passed all inspections with no trouble.

I hired Riggins Construction to build a cedar fence for our new house in Ballard. I was on a tight schedule to get it done due to extensive travel, and Ryan promised to meet my timeline. He delivered in every way, including quality workmanship, professional communication, and timely completion. The fence looks fantastic and is built to last. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants good work and believes in supporting small local businesses. I’ll be calling Riggins Construction again for future projects!

Ryan and his team were simply incredible! He installed a cedar and hogwire fence with a gate for us and also had one of his team members help us with endless handyman projects to get our new home up and running. He was honest, straight forward, and delivered a stunning product! We absolutely love our fence - what he designed was truly a work of art! His crew was so kind and worked non-stop to make sure they finished everything on schedule so we could move into our home and have a safe yard for our son and dogs. I will go back to Riggins Construction in the future with any other projects! Top tier customer service, beautiful product, and I know it will last a lifetime! Thank you so much!

Ryan Riggins just completed replacing our 50-year old wooden fence. He worked with us on the design we had in mind even though it was somewhat different from his other fences. He made a point of choosing quality wood and finishes. When we all realized there was one section on a slope that needed to be taller than originally planned, he modified that part quickly and courteously. Ryan and his crew were delightful to work with. We are exceptionally pleased with not only the beautiful new fence but with the entire project process. Ryan justifiably takes great pride in the quality of his work.

We receive frequent compliments on our Riggin's designed and built fence. It's more than a year old now, looks great, remains very sturdy, and repels the elements. Highly recommend.

Ryan Riggins and his crew installed an outstanding fence with decorative arbor!! The work was done in a very efficient time, both him and his workers are courteous as well!!!

2023 update:
Riggings delivered again. My fence gate was being difficult to open, I contacted Ryan and he guided me how to fix it myself in just a few minutes, after so many years, the service quality is still amazing.

I would highly recommend Riggins. We hired Ryan to build a fence around our house including 3 gates and his work was great.
We are happy with end product: A solid fence done with quality materials and stained wood. The crew was friendly, really respectful and hardworking. Came Saturday and Sunday and almost finished all the fence.

The only downside was the waiting time between signing the contract and when the fence was built. It was summer and that is understandable. It was worth the wait.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Riggins Construction LLC for their outstanding work on my front steps project. I was very impressed with the clear communication of the project, the guidance to keep everything stable during demolition, and the willingness to go above and beyond to make the concrete look as sharp as the newly constructed steps.

From the very beginning, Ryan was very clear about the scope of work and the timeline for completion. He also took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. I was particularly impressed with the guidance he provided on how to secure the home during the old stair demolition. I was very grateful for his attention to detail.

I was also very impressed with the quality of the work. The new steps are beautiful and look great. The concrete is smooth and even, and the finish is perfect. I am very happy with the results, and I would highly recommend Riggins Construction to anyone looking for a quality contractor.

In addition to the quality of the work, I was also very impressed with the customer service I received from Ryan. He was always responsive to my calls and emails, and he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the results. I would not hesitate to use Riggins Construction again for any future projects.

Ryan and his crew did a great job replacing an old fence. From the time I accepted their offer to when they finished the job was much faster than I expected. Good price as well. One part of the job was a challenge that other fence companies were not willing to take on and Ryan was able to solve the problem. I recommend them.

I recently bought a home with a deck in pretty bad shape. I didn't want to take on the expense of completely replacing it, and Ryan was incredibly accommodating. I never felt like he was pressuring me to replace something just to increase the sale, but I also didn't feel that he was holding back on what work needed to be done. The results are incredible; you can definitely tell which parts of the deck are new and which are the original, but his team went the extra mile to try and breath new life into the old boards and restore them as close to their original quality as possible.
