So friendly and accommodating. Food is fresh and tasty. Having fun watching the game

Exceeded expectations. In April 2014 we had 3 new exterior gates installed — (1) replacement and (2) custom designs. Steve took his time to thorough review of the project and designed the gates keeping safety, privacy, and functionality in mind. The estimate was comparable to other contractors.
The quality and craftsmanship of the final product far exceeded our expectations. The design of the two custom gates matched exactly to the photo I gave Steve. All three gates are extremely sturdy and work smoothly. Without even asking the contractors look the extra step to add a metal lining between the redwood posts and the stucco of the house and garage. As a homeowner who has had termites in the past, this was an impressive precaution taken.
I was so impressed by how clean the yard was when I came home. I would highly recommend Bay Area Fence and Deck to our neighbors and friends.

Good work, clean and thorough workers. Showed up when they said they would. Very satisfied.

We’ve had to replace three sections of our fences replaced over the past few years. The first section was challenging because of a large tree on the property line which had to be built around. The team from BAF built a box around the tree and solve the problem. That section still looks great several years later despite the effort of our dog who tries to knock squirrels off the tree and the fence.
Based on the results of that project, BAF has been out twice more, replacing gates and another section of fence. The results are spectacular every time. They are fast and efficient, while still producing quality work.
They are sometimes a challenge to schedule but no worse than (and in many cases better than) other contractors I’ve worked with.

I had to replace a 100 ft fence and 1 gate during Summer 2013. I had difficulty in getting quotes from multiple fence contractors. I was only able to get quote from 2 contractors, one of which is Bay Area Fence & Deck. I contacted around 5 other contractors who are either too busy or deferred me to others, maybe because the job is too small.
Bay Area Fence and Deck provide quote that is lower than the other competing quote. They were professional, and on time for their appointments.
The issue is the kickboard. They didn’t use pressure treated wood for kickboard. They did use pressure treated wood for post. I wasn’t there when the installation took place. When I came home and saw the completed work, I checked the written quote. There was no mention on type of wood to be used for kickboard.
OK, well, my fault for getting the lowest quote and not looking at the quote in detail and catching all the loopholes. However, I feel that Bay Area Fence and Deck really skimped on something that was not necessary. They should have said that kickboard will not be pressure treated. And if I want pressure treated, give me a higher quote according. If I’m going to replace the fence, I want to do it right and have the fence last as long as possible.

Can’t give this company any stars, but I’m being forced to do so before this commentary can be filed. Bay Area Fence has NOT DONE a thing for me, not even call me back. I made the initial call to them following an internet search that indicated they did it all — chain link, wood fence & decking (and that they were so wonderful at it all, too!) — all of which I need. So I called and spoke with their spacy sounding receptionist and told her it was urgent someone contact me as my fence fell down and I have two large dogs to contain. Several days passed and heard nothing. I called again. I pressed to speak with a sales person. A man, I guess a «manager», got on the phone and said he’d have a salesperson call me back. I asked when he thought that might be and he said they are really busy and couldn’t say. That was last Tuesday. I’m in sales. It doesn’t matter how busy I am or how much business is coming my way, nor even if I can’t take the business, people who actually take the time and make the effort to CALL ME get the courtesy of a call back. Here’s a clue Bay Area Fence and Deck, Inc., I am not going to work to give you my money. Next.

Got a quote from Bay Area fence. Wasn’t bad price wise BUT I had to call them days after estimator came out just to get my bid. If you flake on giving someone a quote that doesn’t reflect good on your business and made me wonder about them being dependable. Went with a company that I didn’t have to ask for their quote. Dumb way to lose business. I would of considered them. Their cost was very similar to who I went with. Difference was all in the first impression.

We called today to get see if Bay Area Fence and deck would come out and give us a quote on replacing our side fence.
Without coming out, taking any measurements and offering any various styles they just gave a flat quote of $ 1250.00.
That quote sounds high for one. The fact that they didn’t even bother to look at the job tells me to stay away from them.
I will update this one I get more quotes.

Early in December, during the Bay Area’s version of Hurricane Katrina (ie, it rained a lot and was quite windy), our 40+ year old fence finally gave up and was trashed. It separates my house and my neighbor’s and since my neighbor had a dog, we wanted to get it repaired as soon as we could for a good price.
The day after my neighbor contacted Bay Area Fence, they sent out Steve to do the estimate. It was pouring rain, the wind was blowing and we were all freezing, but Steve and his Mary Poppins umbrella got right to work with taking measurements and figuring things out. He was very polite and asked us a ton of questions so he could make sure that he completely understood what we needed and wanted.
The price for our fence was totally reasonable. We got 86 linear feet of fencing that was six feet tall and had an extra foot of lattice on the top (Classy!) for something like $ 2160. That’s $ 1080 for each neighbor. Not a bad deal. (And considering homeowner’s insurance was going to pay for most of that, it seemed perfectly reasonable.) He only asked for a 10% deposit which we gladly gave him.
They had to put off rebuilding the fence for one day because of the weather, but they called us the day before and let us know. On the day that they came to do the fence, they were there promptly at 8am and got right to work. They had the old fence down and its footings removed in no time. They were completely done by 4pm and that includes the time that they stopped to eat lunch (which didn’t seem like very long).
The two guys who did the fence worked CONSTANTLY. They were never checking their phone or sitting around or looking lost (like a lot of «workers» can tend to do). They WORKED. I couldn’t believe how quickly they were done and how good it looked! They removed all of the old fence debris and did not leave a mess anywhere. Seriously, ONE day is all it took (and it wasn’t even the whole day)!
When they were done, they rang the doorbell to let me know. The guy handed me the invoice and asked me if I wanted to pay now. Wait. What? Did I have an option?! You just built me a fence and you’re asking me if I want to pay you right now for it? Um, well, yeah. That’s what I had planned on. I wrote the guy a check, but I really liked that (apparently) if I had to have waited for the insurance money to come through that I would have been able to do so.
Overall, this was the easiest home improvement that I have ever had done. I would totally recommend Bay Area Fence & Deck to anyone needing (wait for it) a fence or a deck.

I just had my redwood fence replaced by Bay Area Fence. The price was competitive, the wood was good quality and the installers did a great job that exceeded my expectations. The crew also did a good cleanup after they finished. Overal I am very satisfied and would recommend them to anyone. It is rare to have a project go so well.

We first used Bay Area Fence and Deck in 2004. Our fence had blown down and our neighbor called them to replace our shared fence. I was extremely pleased with their work, plus they were half the price of Quality Fence I had used the year previous.
Fast foward to today, December 2011. The last and longest fence in our yard yet to be replaced, finally blew down after many years of trying to prop it up. The neighbor sharing that fence wanted to know who would be a good company to use to replace the fence. I dug up my paperwork from 2004 and we had the fence replace by none other than Bay Area Fence and Deck. Jack was our estimator. I again was very happy with their work! They were fast and left the worksite (aka my backyard) clean. They also followed up with a phone call at the end of the job to make sure we were completely satisfied with their work. I had to give minus 1 star for leaving the garden hose running ever so slightly. They used it for mixing concrete for the posts and may have been in a hurry to get back to their home base. Luckily the hubby discovered it and it wasn’t running for a long time.
I have already referred my brother-​in-​law for his fence!
Thanks Bay Area Fence and Deck!

The installation crew and workmenship seemed just fine. They were fast and worked hard.
When dealing with bay area fence on a business level with the owner, he quoted incorrectly three separate times, and blamed his wife in each case. The owner does not have a customer service approach when dealing with his customers and is quick to snap when items are his fault.
Do yourself a favor — avoid the hassle and just select another vendor all together. The bait and switch tactics and the antics of the ownership are not worth the end result.

I’ve been doing business with this compnay for over 6 years now. I’ve used them on our personal home and have hired them on rental properties as well. I’ve always delt with Steve and he’s been able to get me onto the schedule quickly. All and all I ‘ve never had an issue with this company. The work satisfactory and done promptly.

Not sure why those bad reviews. My experience with Bay Area Fence and Deck was highly satisfactory. Jack the estimator was polite and thorough. I enjoyed working with Jack throughout the project, where we installed 200+ feet of 6 ft tall fence and 3 gates in the front. I certainly will consider them when I am ready to install the back and the side fences.
The main reason I have chosen Bay Area Fence and Deck is their cost. They came at the lowest bid (among 3 estimates.) They own the lumber supply, have a long history in business, and provide a longer warranty which are all important factors. Overall service has been great. May be the company has improved over time or may be there was some misunderstanding with the previous reviewers. If you are looking for fence contractor, check this company out. I will not hesitate to recommend it to my friends.

Still great, I was impressed that the company followed up with me after the install to make sure I was completely satisfied. This is A+ customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I had nothing but a positive experience with Bay Area Fence & Deck.
I needed a fence replaced between my house and my neighbor’s, and they quoted us a very reasonable price. Once the contract was signed and the deposit was made, they scheduled the work to be done within the next couple days.
They came early in the morning and they were finished with the work by early afternoon. The work was done at a very high quality and they cleaned up and removed all their mess.
I was very satisfied with everything. I would highly recommend their services.

Bay Area Fence & Deck was outstanding – above and beyond in customer support, service and quality. Their website showed superb pictures of different fences and privacy lattices which enabled us to make just the right choice. They were prompt, efficient, and very skilled. They have heavy duty equipment that makes the fence posts deeper and stronger. This is my third fence, and undoubtedly the very best – Comparable or better prices also. Our fence was complicated because it had to be adjoined to an existing neighbor’s fence, there was also part of the old fence acting as a structural component for the carport. They made everything work seamlessly — and it’s beautiful! I am so glad that we found Bay Area Fence & Deck.

A section of 7′ fence installed by Bay Area Fence & Deck started to lean over after less than ten years. After close inspection of the problem with a professional fencing contractor, learned:
— the holes for the post were not sufficiently deep to support the fence.
— thin fence grade wood for the kick board (rather than 1″ board)
— posts used were too small for a 7′ fence.
Overall, the wood fence was still in good condition but the problem was: poor workmanship. There was no way to remedy such a incompetent installation so down came the fence. Installed a new fence with larger posts, thicker kick board, and dug new appropriately deep post holes but this time hired a different contractor! (duh!)
Since the time Bay Area Fence installed years ago, at least 4 – 5 calls were made and various workers were sent out. NONE of whom had the know-​how (or understanding of English) to correct the gates which would not close or the posts which were crooked or the fence which is not square. Have spoken to both Julia and Steve. Found Julia to be exceedingly rude, extremely unprofessional and showed little regard for client satisfaction. I would not recommend them under any circumstances.

The contractor Steve is very very rude, you don’t want them to ruin your day!
