    Great fencing job!

    Excellent planning, consultation, extremely responsive and detailed, open and honest with price quotes, very patient with scope changes, and associated scheduling. Brett was a fantastic worker and a pleasure to have on site. Tyler is an outstanding client rep. Truly a First Class team!

    Professional & Top Class Service

    Right from the outset, Tyler showed professionalism with his quotation detail and product knowledge. His rates are extremely competitive & he was able to source our product quickly and to our exact spec. Very satisfied and highly recommended.

    Residential Fence and Gate

    We had a very dilapidated fence and gate, and from the start FCF was thorough and professional. The crew was polite and courteous, we always had great communication from the project lead and admin office, and now we have a beautiful and safe fence! Would highly recommend FCF and we would definitely use them again.

    Poor Customer Service

    I have done many projects in my house but my new vinyl fence with these guys has been the strangest one by far: - At the beginning, quoting and communication was OK, there were a few delays and miscommunication before getting started - They will hire sub-contractors, and I'm totally fine with that, but they confessed it was their first time working with vinyl fence - They had a shortage in the material ordered, which caused additional delays - Sub-contractors installed dented/uneven panels and gates, which were subsequently replaced, causing additional delays and extra work (see photos) - Not a single supervisor or representative came to me to introduce themselves as the face of the company during this job - Called and left messages to sub-contractors and home office, no calls back - Even when I asked them to call me before coming, they will just show up without any call Communication is very poor, except for quoting, billing and collecting, and customers are left to deal directly with sub-contractors without a supervisor to talk to about issues or just simple questions. Overall poor customer service and I will NOT recommend this company for any project.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Alex, We always appreciate feedback, good or bad and we are all about taking responsibility when due, but this review is not a fair representation of what happened. To address the photos, we would like to know why you posted photos of the fence before the project was complete? We can agree that your grade does have ups and downs throughout the property, and you wanted the fence the way you have in your photo, you then changed your mind and Phillip (the crew) changed the heights of the sleeves and we did exactly as you asked. The gate photo was before we made a few adjustments to the hinges. You requested that we do not tie in the neighbours fence to avoid screw holes in your new vinyl, we never put that diagonal board there. The dented material did come from our supplier damaged and we can agree we shouldn’t have put it up dented but we switched and changed everything as requested promptly and at no additional cost. The very minor delays were due to our supplier not having supply on boards to replace the dented ones, which was addressed with you. You mentioned, no supervisor came to introduce themselves or was on site. Was there confusion our Mark’s role as the Project Manager? He spoke to you on several occasions, enforced the changes and sat with you on your deck on 2 occasions to discuss the project. He was the one in First Class Fencing uniform and he was on-site for the entire project. You did insist on communicating directly with Phillip with most texts and calls being after hours, but he always responded and addressed all your concerns. We admit we drop the ball from time to time, we miss opportunities to communicate when things are very busy, we aren’t perfect, but the feedback provided is not in any way an accurate representation of how the project went. What really confuses everyone here, is when the project ended, we were going to contact you about posting a review, but we anticipated it was going to be a 5-star and there was no hesitation in paying the full bill. With how puzzled we all were our General Manager insisted he go out there to look for himself and took a few photos. (Unfortunately, we can not post those photos here but we can provide those at request to show the differences) As mentioned, your business was greatly appreciated, and don’t hesitate to reach out, we’d love to clear up all the confusion. -First Class Fencing 403.991.5995

    Installation of 200ft of vinyl fencing

    After 2 months of delays, the fence was installed in June of 2019. It was not properly installed from the start and I've had nothing but issues with it since. I was on holiday during the 2-day installation (done by one person who actually asked my neighbor if he could help him hold the posts) and came back to what is best described as a roller coaster for a fence. The installer did not put one set screw in any of the posts and the whole 200 feet of vinyl just floated on the ground and soon started sinking. Since then the fence has literally fallen apart in 5 different places and posts continue to sink. I was promised that they would return last fall after already being here that spring but no one ever showed up. I'd send emails to the project manager only to find that he's left and someone else had taken over who I then emailed only to find they had left as well. Finally this spring I called their office and spoke to the accounts girl to whom I had made payment (as she was the only person in the company who I knew actually existed at that point) and pleaded with her have someone come and repair the fence. Mark from First Class Fencing came to my door a few weeks ago and looked at the issues of sinking posts and fence pulling apart in other places saying he would get the proper material and come back and correct all the issues. Photos show the issues and the quality of the repairs. So disappointing to spend so much money, have a promise of a 5-year warranty, have it never installed correctly, having to plead to get someone to look at it. And then when they do get the "proper material” it’s a handful of wood and sheet metal screws drilled into the fence to kinda-sorta hold it together and no where close to level. I called Mark to offer him the chance to come back and remove the screws and fix it properly and he never responded. All the while knowing that next spring it will all fall apart again as it has done the last 2 years. Needless to say neither I nor my neighbors would use or recommend First Class Fencing to build anything more than a dog run.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Bryan, This is the General Manager with First Class Fencing. I can appreciate the feedback and this is the first of the concerns I have personally heard on your behalf. In relation to the staff, we are always hiring for the best talent in the business, and the only member from 2019 that we elected to bring back after winter was Char (as you know). Sorry for any confusion that may have been caused. That said, I would like the connect with you to meet and go over the project, verify the deficiencies and rectify the concerns. I'm going to reach out but you can also contact me as well - 403.991.5995. Thanks!

    Wooden Fence

    Detailed quote. I knew exactly, in detail, what I was paying for, what I was getting, and a good idea of when I would get it. In hind-sight I am even more happy I chose First Class Fencing, because there are details of the job I would not have known without them taking the time to educate me first (e.g. how deep for fence post footings, past the frost line, concrete footings, wood types, styles, options, etc) Extremely efficient, friendly service. They know what they are doing. Nothing was left undone and there was no trace they had been here after the job was completed. Very satisfied and would highly recommend to family and friends.

    Hi Keith, Thanks for the feedback. I will make sure to inform Oggi and Denni of your kind words! If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. -First Class Fencing

    New home build Fence

    We moved into our new home back in the fall of 2020 and wanted a fence for this spring. Luckily we found First Class fencing from our neighbours. The sales lead, Tyler, was very knowledgeable and helpful with all of our needs and wishes for our property. The First Class team was able to complete both our neighbour's and our fence, in a timely manner. We are happy with our final product and all the finishing touches they came back to adjust that we asked for. We would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a new fence!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Claudio, Thanks for the kind words! Really means a lot and I'll make sure to relay the message over to Tyler, Darcy, Mark and the whole team. Thanks for the recommendations and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything further. -First Class Fencing

    Vinyl fence

    We are really pleased with the job Brett did and how he explained everything in detail. No complaints. From the estimate to the finished product the correspondence was excellent and we were kept fully informed about everything that was going on. It was a nice experience working with everyone involved at First Class Fencing. We would definitely recommend them.
