- MCMarty CallaghanSep 5, 20251.0I only gave it one star because there wasn't anything lower. Before I complain I would like to compliment Tiffany and Johanna for there great effort to assist me. Unfortunately neither of them were the ones that should have contacted me. Small wood fence with only seven panels, four of which were not level. After I complained they sent someone out to fix it but still no one contacted me. I notice the fence was not in a straight line and complained again, still no contact. They have supposedly sent two different people out to look at what can be done to fix the problem but still no one has contacted me. This has been going on since June 30 th and I still haven't be contacted from anyone of authority who can answer my questions. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
- WAWendyLayne AlmondOct 6, 20221.0Their truck driver ran a red light this morning, causing me to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting him. I was in the right lane going the speed limit. He didn't even slow down, just turned like he had the right away. In foggy conditions, what a horrible driver!
- SKShawn KavanaghJun 17, 20215.0Northwest Fence was professional the entire way. They were prompt with their timing, made it easy to switch up plans multiple times and had no problem adapting to my new plans. Would definitely recommend.

If something cannot be removed, our estimator will be happy to offer creative solutions to work around it during your on-site consultation.
Who contacts the utility companies before installation begins?
We will come to the project location about a week before your scheduled start date to roughly mark the areas of work with blue flags and white paint. Then a public utility locate request will be filed. This will mark all PUBLIC utilities up to their respective meters.
If you have any PRIVATE utilities (septic tanks, propane tanks, landscape lighting and irrigation, etc.) these will not be included with the public utility locate and will require a private locating service. Ask our estimator if this is something that you would like us to include in your proposal.
Why am I required to sign a disclosure letter?
The State of Washington requires all property owners to sign a lien release for construction projects. This document protects both you and our company and is kept on file as part of your project documentation.
Upon request and receipt of final payment, a lien release can be provided.
What type of gate can I get from you?
All of our gates are custom-built to fit your specific needs and preferences. We take precise measurements during the planning process to ensure your gate is functional, secure, and matches the style of your fence and your preference.
Do you haul away the dirt from where the posts are set?
By default, our crew will rake the displaced dirt evenly around each post, allowing natural rain and settling to help it blend back into the ground, or placed in a designated area of your choosing. Large rocks will be placed in a designated area of your choice. If you’d prefer the dirt to be hauled away, this service can be added to your quote for an additional fee.
