Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking

So I hired this company to dig post holes, and install fence posts. I also purchased the material to put up the fence myself. I removed the old fence myself too.
I had a salesman out to the house to provide an estimate first and to discuss the fence prior to buying. I was convinced I was buying a 3 rail fence. I was told the post would be 6′ on center. I was told I’d get rustic cut cedar for the fencing material. Approximately 4300 total for 210′ fence and a double gate.
The post were not any where near 6′ on center. They varied from 5 to 8 feet apart. I called, the salesman said well that’s not what you paid for sir I lumped it. Then I found that there were only 2 rails included in what I paid for. Not a real happy camper. Then I found they shorted me lumber.
I will note they did deliver additional lumber instead of saying that’s not what you paid for…
If you want to pay for something, and be told that’s not what we agreed on, after you pay cash up front call Rick’s. If you want them calling and offering free varnish or stain to quell your dissatisfaction after they see your review of their services instead of up front do what the salesman said, call Rick’s. If you want a rustic fence with so many knot holes your backyard looks like a truck stop glory hole show room, call Rick’s fencing.
If you want a good fence with no hassles, find another fence company.
You have been warned.
I should say, maybe they do better when they put up the fence themselves, but I would have way of knowing all I can review is the services they rendered upon an up front cash customer.
Buyer beware and keep looking.

Joseph and Dave came out and installed my cedar fence today. Looks great. From the estimate to all my questions in between they were friendly and courteous. I highly recommend.

I had Rick’s do a bid for my hot tub deck. They were $ 24,000 which was twice of everyone else. Are you kidding?

Had the sales rep out about a month ago to take measurements and provide an estimate for a backyard fence. He was about a half hour late, which isn’t usually that big of a deal. I was on my lunch break, though, so that kind of put me in a time crunch.
He measured and seemed knowledgeable enough. When it came down to the time to get the estimate, he seemed awkwardly pushy for me to sign right then and go ahead and get it scheduled. I let him know we’re going to get it the fence installed. We’re not in a huge rush to get it on the schedule, but it will largely be dependent on how much the quote estimate comes in at before we can commit on how soon we’re looking at. Our neighbors have a fence by them, so we knew we wanted to go with them, but that didn’t seem acceptable to the rep. He left, said he would email over the quote and never heard back

I wish I would have checked Unilocal before I contracted to have a gate installed… Simple. Vinyl gate to close off the yard… Scheduled to have someone come out and take measurements waited for half the day for no one to show up… Called the next day to be told ohh yeah someone did come by but I «was not» home… Lie
Who ever did show up was working in the dark cause my windows face the front and I never saw anyone nor did that make an attempt to call me…
4 – 6 weeks later they show up to install the gate. Thank God I was at home and that didn’t take the day off work, because the gate never came out of the box… It was built wrong no compensation for the slope in our yard… Automatic rework and another 4 – 6 week wait…
Then the day before the second attempt I call to verify installation and another day I have to take off to be there … And no one knows what going on… 4 months and still NO gate… The only good thing is they haven’t charged my credit card…

Kenny and Joesph did an amazing job on my fence. Absolutely love it. The guys were great and willing to accommodate the last minute changes that I wanted done. Gave me great advice on staining the fence and cleaned everything up after! They were on time and really great.
Will go to them again for the next project!

Rick’s built a deck for my cabin in Rockaway Beach. They sent two crews, one spent the night in a local hotel, the other returned to Hillsboro and then drove back the next day. They worked until after dark both days. Ben and David and their helpers could not have done a better job. I am the envy of the neighborhood. For the past eight months I have had people knock on my door to ask me about my deck. Strangers driving by stop to look at it. If you don’t want unwanted attention then don’t buy from Rick’s. This is an ocean front cabin, so they had to bury the footings extra deep. It made it through the winter storms without a problem, and still looks as good today as the day they finished. I would recommend Endeck and Rick’s Fencing to anyone, and I have.

Zero stars! They obviously did not want my business. Waited over two weeks and kept getting the run around for a quote. Person number two promised me a quote by a particulate date and then ignored me when I called one day after that. I was informed he never made it out to my home like he promised. I can only imagine what the rest of the experience would have been like.

Just a quick update (1.5 years later, I know). About a week or so after I had posted the review, Rick’s came out to correct the situation with the fence posts. Essentially, they just gave me 10 ft 2x4s and took back the 8 ft 2x4s.
I never did get that trim though. ..

It has been several years since we contracted with Rick’s for two large decks.
They showed little interest in other than the money.
I had indicated I wanted post caps at several corners… they forgot and did a
flat cut at the top of the posts.
We discussed using screws instead of nails in the deck flooring… came home
from work and saw they had used nails.
The deck for the hot tub failed inspection as they had not used sufficient
weight bearing on the deck floor.
They built a gazebo over the hot tub and now we have had to replace the
roof and saw first hand the shabby, short-​cut and cheap manner they
used to build it.
I asked for ”something decorative” for the fascia around the gazebo roof…
and they said we would talk later… came home from work and the
unattractive flat board (not good quality) had been nailed in for the
fascia finish.
My call backs on these things were shuffled around from this person to
that person none of whom showed any indication of this ”integrity”
they advertise.
We have had recent work done on gates, etc. and the top-​rated company
who came asked who did the prior work. I said Rick’s…and they were
not surprised. Yup… they have their own way of doing some things and
we all recognize it.
There are better places.

Don’t do it! Don’t even think about calling these guys. I contracted for a pair of gates to enclose my garbage cans next to my house. The crew that showed up was completely clueless. They destroyed the side of my house, leaving two gaping holes in the brick, some all-​thread poking out at odd angles, and a 4×4 halfway pounded onto it. I had to pull them off because the whole house was shaking as they tried to get 5/​8″ all-​thread to accept a pressure-​treated 4×4 with 5/​8″ holes. They are refusing to pay the bill to repair it; they want to come «fix» it themselves. There’s no way I’m letting anyone from this company near my home again. As a former builder, I’m appalled not only at the poor workmanship, but the complete failure of anyone, including the manager who called me, to take responsibility for what they did. A field supervisor actually tried to blame me, saying his crew wasn’t prepared to do what I asked them to do. What, install fence? I agree, they’re not prepared to install fencing.

Ok, so I’ve been sitting on this review for just under a month. That’s how long it took my Dad, Brother-​In-​Law and I to build my fence, with materials that were HAND delivered by Rick’s Fencing. I knew that at some point we’d have to go back to Rick’s for the occasional trim piece or box of screws or whatever, and I wanted to ensure that I got the whole experience down from start to finish. Hence, sitting on the review. I’m glad I did.
Rick’s delivers. Literally, and figuratively. They will coordinate with you to come up with whatever solution you want for your fence. Seriously, everything from just supplying a box of nails to building your fence from the ground up. Personally, I ended up purchasing the materials and having Rick’s deliver them while we handled the construction. The «hand delivery» I mentioned earlier is no exaggeration. This isn’t some jackhole showing up with a flatbed truck and dumping your whole order on the front lawn. These guys take every piece of material off the truck by hand and will put them exactly where you direct them to. I had my pressure treated posts stacked outside behind my house and the rest in the half of the garage that my car wasn’t taking up. Fantastic.
They’ll teach you as much or as little as you want to know about building a fence. They’ll show you different styles. They’ll give you different options for the quality of the materials you want, depending on your budget. They are seriously the most full service fence supply outfit I could possibly imagine. Yes, you could save a few bucks here and there by piecing supplies together from your major home improvement chain store, but I assure you, it’s NOT worth it.
A+. Would buy again.

Just moved in to a house and needed some fencing done as soon as possible for my dogs. The folks here were great, jumping right on it and getting it done as promised. I also felt the cost was fair.

I’m shocked no one has reviewed Rick’s! They are great to work with and flexible on creating a workable deck design. Use quality products and workmanship. Fast and extremely fast teardown and installation. We contracted with them to build a two level deck in our back yard, and 9 years later still LOVE our deck!
