Happy Customer

I really like their professionalism and work ethic! From the beginning, Garrett said it would be a few weeks before he could install our fence. They communicated with us along the way. We knew when the materials were ordered, being delivered and ready to start our project. Garrett & Alex completed our project in 2 days. My husband and I highly recommend you having American Fence install your needs too.

My husband and I purchased a new home in Eagle Creek ( Bolivia NC) late August 2024 and with 2 dogs and outdoor activities, we needed a fenced in yard but being new to the area, didn’t know who to call. My husband and I went for a walk and came across American Fence professionals installing a fence in a neighboring yard. We were impressed with the fence build, the leveling on a tough corner lot, and we made a phone call to Garrett the following day for a quote for our back yard.
Our HOA needed to revise our initial plans, and with that, Garrett returned to our home a couple times for measurements. Garrett and his associate Alex, are communicative and professional and a pleasure to chat with. The in between times, Garrett & Alex would clean up the yard, organize tools & supplies and prep for the next day! Growing up in a military household, I greatly appreciate their organizational & prep abilities. Their rates are competitive and our fence is absolutely fantastic!! I cannot say enough great things about American Fence! Our dogs are especially thrilled to have the running space again, and the privacy we needed! Thanks Garrett & Alex, fencing champions!!
