- JWJames WillisNov 13, 20255.0Have used Sam's 3 times over the past 25 years and they have always done an excellent job.
- KWKathleen WebbNov 4, 20255.0Great experience from start to finish. Walked us through options so we could pick the perfect fence for our needs. Delivered on time and looks fantastic! A lawn care company caused damage to the fence and Sam Fencing repaired it quickly and to perfection.
- WGWendy GruverSep 27, 20255.0We could not be happier with our choice to use Sam Fencing for our large backyard fencing project. We did aluminum. John was so nice from our first meeting and continued to be responsive to my email questions. The materials arrived earlier than anticipated and the team (lead by Thomas-also super nice) completed our project in just two days. The guys were so friendly and did a beautiful job. We now have three very happy doggies! Their parents are pretty happy too!
- YGYvonne GainesAug 20, 20255.0Good group to work with to come up with the right perimeter pool fence👍🏼
- SBSarah BurnettAug 19, 20255.0I have to admit it was sticker shock when I first saw the estimate for our fence. However, I realize the cost of wood is outrageous wherever you go. Communication was excellent. They worked around our schedule to install the fence. All materials were high-quality and the installation went smoothly. You could tell the guys knew what they were doing. They adjusted the fence to the slope and layout of our yard. The photos were taken right after they finished putting up our fence.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sam Fencing
Do I have to stain or paint a wood fence?
Sealing and maintaining your wood fence is essential. While untreated wood fences may last around 15 years, proper painting and staining can extend their lifespan to approximately 30 years with regular maintenance.
How do I properly maintain a wood fence?
For optimal maintenance, apply stain or paint to your wood fence a few months after installation. Avoid waiting a full year, as this may allow the fence to become too weathered or dirty for proper sealing. The initial drying period after installation allows the wood to better bond with the stain.
Are there maintenance-free fence varieties?
Indeed, while wood fences require regular upkeep, fences constructed from materials such as aluminum, chain link, and vinyl require minimal to no maintenance.
How fast can Sam Fencing provide workmanship warranty repairs?
At Sam Fencing, we prioritize workmanship warranty repairs. These requests are expedited and placed at the top of our service list to ensure prompt attention and necessary work completion.

Can I install a fence by myself?
While do-it-yourself installation is feasible, particularly for simpler fence types, professional installation is recommended to ensure longevity and compliance with local regulations.

How do I choose the right contractor for fence installation?
When selecting a fence installation contractor, it's important to verify their licensing and insurance status, review their customer feedback, and obtain multiple quotes for comparison.
