The year was 1986 and my wife and I had just purchased our first home - a townhouse in Southern Howard County. We had a small cocker spaniel at the time and wanted a privacy fence so she could enjoy the freedoms of her very first backyard. We sought out the usual estimates and soon thereafter, experienced sticker shock.
My past job history had included a variety of construction related pursuits and I thought to myself, "I can build this - and without breaking the bank." There was no Home Depot or Lowes at the time, locally owned Hechinger was king. So, I made multiple trips to the store in Columbia, purchased the materials and supplies I needed and successfully built my first fence.

Dave was tight on time for giving me the estimate. The price was extremely competitive. I gave him the contract and he was right on time with the installation. He did a wonderful job and left the place spotless. His crew were extremely polite and knowledgeable to my questions. We’ll be going back to him for all future work. Extremely satisfied!

So far so good! FBD installed a beautiful wooden privacy fence for us. Backstory on that - one side of the old fence was falling down (wasn't pretty), called FBD, and Doug (owner) came out within a few days and gave us a reasonable quote. He is knowledgeable, personable, and affordable! The quote was good for 45 days (usually 30 but extended for COVID). We got other quotes and no one could touch FBD's prices.
We had FBD remove/haul-away the existing fence and install the new one (190 linear ft). They did it all in one day! 2 workers did destruction and install and a 3rd worker

Responsible, competitive, did what he said he would do. His crews were efficient and cleaned up the yard after they were. done. The finished product was good looking and well constructed. Our gates settled a little bit, and Doug came out quickly to adjust the latches. Love this company.
I would recommend FBD to anyone in the DC area.
