We were pleased with the work done by the installers so I want to make this clear (both our neighbor and us hired this company to do our yards at the same time) After the first initial job we decided to continue with what we had already talked to Jesse (the sales guy) about doing which was adding the fence on our left side of the house. Once this… was finished my husband contacted Jesse again to put up a gate as we were not sure at first if this was something we really wanted to do but yet again a conversation shared with Jesse. My husband messaged him and after a week of no response he

I am sure the installation and quality are great. However, the communication from the sales manager was terrible. I understand that material from the manufacturer is the problem but there was little communication from the sales person from the start. He lacked project management experience, professional insight and the guts to simply inform his clients. After waiting months for the half of the product, I have called around other fence companies to get their input on the lead times and they were aware of the long lead times and openly communicated directly to me.

Problem still not solved. One step taken. I continue to be in a waiting pattern for the rest.

Extremely disappointed.Originally started working with Eric Anderson to get an estimate to take down & replace our fence. He was helpful & gave us some suggestions that we really liked . After meeting with several other companies we felt that First Fence was best represented. We gave them a deposit & was told that it would be 8-10 weeks out before… the job was started. After approximately 12 wks. we called for a status update. We were told that they had the wood but were having an issue getting the fabricated posts. We were told that the project manager Alex Hernandez would get

Stay away!!!! All of the post have popped out of the ground probably because they didn't dig deep enough. And the fence panels are all discolored. And the work was only done not even 5 years ago. And it came with a life time warranty. I've been calling them to come fix the the problems but they keep say they can't come out because of covid. They just don't want to stand behind there work. So look elsewhere!!!!!!!

This company came recommended to me by David Gust. He is the owner of Century 21 Gust Realty and a great friend of mine since 1986. They were very professional and the office staff are truly a breath of fresh air. They walked me through the entire process starting with obtaining the permit needed from the Village of Lombard. The installation crew were on time and very professional. I already have 2 friend's calling my sales guy James for their homes. Thank you First Fence for exceeding my expectations.

I am quite irritated with this company. You were installing a fence in my neighbors yard. We liked it and decided to get a gate to match. Made an appt for 6/6. In installing my neighbors fence you found that my gate was attached to their fence. Not of my doing this is how the house came. Your workers saw I had dogs and kids. You detached the… fence propped my gate and continued on with your work. The company that cleans up the dog waste came and went to open the fence and it FELL OVER! When I called you to have this issue rectified I was transferred to Alex the installation manager. In this

Laughing at someone calling in complaining is unacceptable. saying you will transfer to a manager and it turns out to be a coworker unacceptable. maybe you did maybe you didn't touch someone's gate however professionals say im sorry ill come out and take a look at it I don't think we did but id be glad to check. I work in customer service daily. I… work with contractors whom destroy someone's property from time to time even when we believe no doubt customers wrong we don't laugh. I'm so sorry this occurred I would be glad to get someone out on such and such date and take a look.

What a TRANSFORMATION! First Fence installed our new, white PVC fence last year and it doesn't even look like the same yard! We did a lot of research in the area and after meeting with them and receiving a lot of recommendations about First Fence by word of mouth, they were the clear winner.
If you want to save money in the long run {and don't want… to deal with a leaning, peeling fence in a few years) I cannot recommend First Fence enough. They use the TOP quality materials, dig the posts very deep in the ground, etc. We quickly learned not all quotes are not apples to apples (when you

Once we decided to use first fence it took forever to get them out fir the quote for the black aluminum gate.
The price was right so we went with them. I've regretted it since. Yes the installation was good. We've had issues with the paint peeling, the aluminum on the inside where the gates meet. The paint idea bubbling. It looks bad. Brackets keep coming loose. I've been calling them steadily for over 2 months. I get nothing but excuses. Now the owner doesn't even return my calls. Im so sick of talking to them. The customer service is terrible. My warranty is up

I am Completely satisfied with my First Fence experience, where they installed a new 6' privacy fence. My experience began with the estimator (Jesse C) arriving on time--professional, courteous, and highly knowledgeable. He described each fencing option in detail and helped in our decision making process. They also secured the permit, contacted JULIE, etc., so completely autopilot for me.

The installation also took place within the estimated timeframe, and the crew was skilled and clearly took pride in their work.

Notably, I had my recently replaced fence repaired by First Fence as

What can I say. Called them on a Thursday and Lisa set me up with an appointment for the following Tuesday. They gave me the 8-10 A M slot and Chris was right on time. We walked the property and talked about replacing posts. This would have been the second replacement project in four years. I asked for a complete replacement price and left Chris to do his work. When he gave me the price for the new fence I jumped right on it. The estimate was detailed and accurate. He applied for the permit that day. Two days later I got an email from Lisa saying they'll be there the following Monday!

I have used them twice. I went to Home Depot and that is who they sent.
I think they are pricey and if I had it to do again would have shopped around. $1400 for a gate and about 27 feet of fence. $1900 for about 40 feet and a gate and customer return discount.

My cedar recommended alley fence has deteriorated and bowed in ;sections; flimsy gate. The slats are very rough and looked great one season. It was the one that looks the same from both sides. I would do vinyl a second time around. The salesman was nice, met my schedule, pay in advance and sign an agreement.

First fence have done a great job. Very prompt on time and hassle free installation. From the estimate to installation they were on time; Jesse Ciesla answers all of my questions regarding fencing. They also match the written estimate from another company. So happy found this company online.

In the fall of 2016, First Fence Company was hired by my neighbor to install a fence along the property line between our properties. While digging the post holes for the new fence, my husband alerted the crew that they were on our side of the property line by at least 1 foot. The crew assured my husband that the fence would be installed only on the… neighbor's property. When we arrived home from work, we found the entire 80 feet of fencing to be located one foot onto our property. We alerted our code enforcement officials who demanded that First Fence remove all fencing and concrete footings
