Fence Contractor reviews across the US

Called for a consultation on fencing in my yard. A day later a representative called me back and was very dismissive, over talked me when I was trying to explain my request and then said he didn't understand my request when in fact he just was not intently listening. I called my husband over to take the call instead because I just couldn't deal with the fast talking, non listening, and lack of professionalism overall. I will not be using this company. First impressions are important!

We were extremely pleased with the work performed by Clinton Fence. We came to them after a terrible experience with another local company. Jim and crew were professional, reliable and the work is impeccable. We can’t recommend them enough!

Our installer Rick was awesome and communicated well. Dealing with Tony King was a very disappointing experience.

I text Tony the day of the delivery and clearly stated “drop the materials in the driveway.” Come home and the materials are dropped on the side of house with tire tracks through my yard and damage to my lawn. He texts me and states “driver took picture and damage a position of your lane” ok no bigs I told him if there was dirty left over I don’t mind filling in the hole. There was no dirt left over.

I text him a couple times with little response until I finally send him pics again and with the text thread. He asks his driver and the driver is like “yeah in cove point they had cars in the driveway” I live in California , Md. so the driver was totally confused. I told him I was looking for 3-4 bags of topsoil to address this and I’m good.

He ends up calling us petty and that we are “ irritating him” lol this is the type of customer service they have. They damage your lawn and then don’t take any accountability. He claims I instructed the driver to hand stack the materials on the side of the house to get away with any responsibility for the lawn.

You may want to look elsewhere for a fence installer.

Never use this company! Their customer service is atrocious. I was referred to Clinton Fence by my realtor. I was selling Mom's house and when my husband met with their employee he was advised of this. They were to come out Aug 8th because the final walk through was the 16th and closing was the 17th. They did not show or call. My husband called them & they said because of the rain they were behind but they would be out that Thurs or Fri. Again no show or call. My husband called & they said they would definitely be out on Monday the 15th. He again explained that it has to be done Monday because of the walk through & closing. They came out and left wood in my yard but did not do the work. Again they did not call us. My husband spoke with Gary & he said they were out there between 9 & 10 am but needed a jack hammer. They said they would definitely be out Tuesday morning the day of the walk through. I called & spoke with Gary who acted like it didn't matter to him whether we cancelled the job or not. He said they didn't know they would need a jack hammer and they couldn't send him to get one because his guy had to take his child to the doctor. I want my deposit of $400 back. Do not believe this company. They just keep putting you off and you have to call them. There are much better and more reliable fence companies out there.

Amazing work! Had a Split rail fence for our backyard and a Vinyl gate set up on our porch. Quality work, on time, and great customer service! I don’t normally write reviews but we honestly had a great experience.

I called Clinton fence several times, left several messages, spoke with someone to request An appointment to get a chain-link fence. I was told several times that someone would call me back, but they never did. I went with Another fence company instead.

These guys really worked with us. Very knowledgeable and willing to explain things to us. I would highly recommend them. They were several $100s cheaper even after the other company told us to be aware of materials used. The other local company also very courteous. Well worth talking to each. Hope I feel the same 5 years from now. They have been in business a long time

UPDATE: We've now used George/Clinton & Bowles Fence Co. 3 times at our house, and we have been thrilled with the results each and every time! We now have a beautiful chain link fence around our backyard, and a charming white picket fence in our front yard, and our home now feels so secure. We HIGHLY recommend this amazing company! It's clear they truly value the work they do, and want their customers to be happy. And what incredible service from George, who is so wonderfully hands-on and invested in the project, from start to finish! If you're in search of a strong, beautiful, well-constructed fence -- and wonderful customer service every step of the way -- then call Clinton & Bowles!

We could NOT be happier with the amazing work of George Bowles and his team! Our estimate was on Sunday, and by early Tuesday afternoon, we had a beautiful new fence. Such an astoundingly quick and painless process! We couldn't believe it.

George was incredibly kind, efficient, timely, communicative, and thorough. We're first-time homeowners, and know nothing about fences -- but the second we met George, it was clear he was an expert, and that we were completely safe in his hands.

We only needed to fence-in half of our yard -- but we're so pleased with their work, we're already thinking of when we should have them come back and fence-in the rest!

Thanks to George and his team, our beautiful new house now feels a THOUSAND times safer and more secure. We can't thank them enough for giving us this peace of mind!

Do yourself a favor, and if you need a fence built well and fast, by people who truly care, call Clinton & Bowles.

They are prompt in returning calls. And quick with coming out and installing. I was pleasantly surprised with their willingness to repair a fence for me without trying to sell an installation of a new one. Thank you for helping repair a fence damaged by a tree and one that was installed incorrectly. 😀

We dropped in the the store and asked about an estimate for fencing around our yard. George was able to fit us in between appointments, He measured the property and gave us an estimate for our original idea. It was much more expensive than we had anticipated. He then took the time to work with us to come up with a plan that would look good and work well and be closer to our budget.

The project, which was large, did take longer than planned. Weather did not help and sometimes they had staffing issues. But in the end we got a good looking fence, well installed. The workmen were pleasant to work with and cleaned up at the end. Very little was left behind.

The sales person said that it would take them 1 1/2 days to put a fence on my yard because it is small. First day, crew appeared for 4 hours; second day, 2 hours. I complained and after some snowy days they sent 2 crews and I was told they would finish that day... they didn't. Next day they finish but they didn't refill the holes they made, they left lots of small pieces behind when they cut the material (I have a dog and a 2 year old so I spent 2 days picking those up) and they promised a handle for the door that I've been waiting for around 2 weeks. So do not rely on what they say. Finish product looks good after I filled the holes.

George Bowles is an excellent Senior Sales Rep for Clinton Fence. He pays attention to the needs of his customers and helped me design a deck around my shed perfectly. He pays attention to detail and has an extremely friendly personality. Clinton Fence is very lucky to have him on their team. Thanks George! Your the best!

With the heavy snow storm this week we had a couple trees take out part of our fencing, making us incapable of letting our dogs out back. I called George after a day of stressing, and he was so helpful and able to have someone come make repairs the next day! I'm a happy customer, but I think my dogs are even happier!

The fence is nice but there are boards that were not nailed down. One of the panels was supposed to be removable so that the county can access the sewer manhole. I received conflicting information regarding the panel. The office manager stated that there shouldn't be any nails in the one panel and I should be able to lift the panel up( which we couldn't because there are nails in the brackets). The worker stated that there should be nails in the brackets and that I had to remove them when I needed to move the panel. Its been a week since the fence has been put up and they have not resolved the issues. The fence is nice but their customer service is horrible. I will not work with them again.

I used them in 2017 and everything was great. Used them again this year and was initially unhappy with the install. I called Gary who is the install manager and he sent Rick out who is the senior installer and they fixed my issue right up. It took a little time to get him out but I am very happy with the result and they made it right.

Went for a DIY fence, and used Clinton Fence for materials. They were so easy to work with. Gave estimate over the phone for all materials with delivery, and it didn't change when I stopped into store to make order. Came on the day and at the time they promised. Quality is great, going on year 3 now and having no issues with it. Would totally use them again.

DO NOT HIRE. They cashed my deposit check and disappeared. I went to this location in Waldorf only to find they have been evicted. The people who own the yard were trying to sell all of the materials and equipment they left.

Clinton Fencing has horrible customer service and they are very unprofessional. I had to call every day and leave the same message to never get a return call until I lucked up one day and caught Mr.George the last time that I called. Mr. George was very uncourteous, even using profanity while speaking with me (a customer) and complaining about all the calls they were getting because of the heavy winds. Then to tell me that my warranty didn't cover replacing the portion of my fence that fell down because of the speed of the winds. I will never use this company again in the future nor would I recommend their services. I gave them one star because I had to and the young lady who answers the phone is really nice.

I was in a jam, needed to get my yard closed off quickly. I had a few quotes but everyone was running behind, two months out. Clinton Fence was a recommendation of my neighbor, who spoke of them with great regard after they took car of her. I met Scott "Fenceman" and when he saw my Disabled Vet plates he personally intervened. Matched best quote and had the yard fenced and my dog secure in a matter of days. Complete straight shooter and went the extra mile for me. The work is impeccable....Thanks so much Scott!!

We called George wanting to extend the fence they had placed a couple years ago. From the first call to when the crew left after the job was complete, everyone was professional and polite. The work is always so clean and nothing is left behind. They even took the the time to fix our gate door that needed adjustment without being asked. Great quality and great customer service.

My experience was absolutely horrible. Paid 1/3 of the total to book my installation on May 3rd and the company dispatcher never booked my installation. Also, he never informed me about the delay, so, I spent half of my Saturday waiting for my fence to be f@&&ing install! To add insult to the inconvenience, the company would not accommodate me by booking me for an appointment before the 4th of July. The earliest appointment they had available was five weeks away and I already have waited for almost 2 months !!! Complete flipping disappointment!
