Viking Fence

Viking Fence did a great job. I needed a gate replaced and some posts reset to extend the lifetime of my fence a few more years before I replace it entirely. Danny and Joce were efficient and got the job done quickly as well as cleaned up after themselves.

Very disappointed with this company but I guess that happens when your expectations are too high. They're supposed to be the Mercedes of fences. That's not what I got. One of my 3 gates was messed up soon after the installation. They came right out to fix it and they were to hang the Viking sign in addition to putting handles on the inside of all my gates.

Still waiting on the handles. It's been almost a year and the gate got stuck again. It hangs so much that it won't open or if you force it open, it won't shut and lock. When I called, Jesse said they may need to rebuild it per the pics I sent him. They didn't, nor did they tell me when they were coming out or that they fixed it.

It was closed when I checked a few days later so I assumed they fixed it but since the gate still hangs some, I texted Jesse again to confirm but he referred me to Paul. That was a week ago and still no return phone call from him. The fence will no longer be under warranty after this month, so I wanted to be sure I don't keep having this issue and have to pay to repair it.

You can image how expensive the fence was, I thought I was getting the best grade of cedar wood, no, it's already faded and looks 5 years old. Here are some pics. You can see steel posts that were an upgrade that should have kept the gate from hanging the way it does. Normally, you get what you pay for but not in this case.

I used Viking Fence after calling and getting quotes and speaking with a total of 5 other companies in the Austin area. I cannot say enough positive things about the entire process from start to finish. To start, I was having to do this fence install from across the country which automatically makes it extremely important to have excellent communication, pictures and verbalized expectations vs reality.

I worked with Danny, who was so responsive, able to facetime me several times to ensure I was getting what I wanted and also suggesting placement changes for ease of use and longevity of the fence. This was an overall amazing customer experience and made the stress of having a fence installed without me there so much less. I would also like to say that the timing was impeccable.

I didn't have a huge project but from quote to finish of the project was right at 3 weeks. This was such an incredible turn around time, and way better than other quoted time frames. I could not be happier. This was professional and quality work and overall a great experience. I will absolutely be recommending Viking Fence and especially Danny and Solomon to any of my friends that need fencing work in the area. Thank you so much!

I hired Viking Fence to raise our fence surrounding our townhome from 4 feet to 6 feet. As shown in the picture below, crew leaders Brett and Edgar did a fantastic job. They were also responsive and professional every step of the way. Would definitely recommend. Service: Wood fence installation

The Viking crew took such care to make our fence look beautiful, even on a very hilly and uneven lot. They also came up with ideas to make the fence look polished on both sides since we have a corner lot. The craftsmen who put up the fence paid close attention to detail and came and asked us if they had any questions. I especially loved how they worked around this tree, which straddles the property line.

Highly Recommend! Viking Fence installed 5 security gates and some metal fencing around our condo complex near the University. I worked with Brian and Jesse. The gates are top notch, very stable and durable. The gates and fencing look beautiful and sturdy. There is a lateral header bar (hope I described that correctly) running over the top of the gates to make them more sturdy/durable.

They also replaced some concrete/brick columns in front of our complex that were leaning, which looks really nice - better than I expected. The finished work was really nice, but I was equally impressed with my working relationship with Jesse and Brian. They were very concerned that we were happy and fully addressed any questions and concerns we had quickly.

There was a sprinkler line manifold that was leaking and I'm not sure they actually caused it, but they went out of their way to fix it better than it was before - this was an actual complex manifold that was completely rebuilt. When the project was complete, they both met me in person to walk the area and make sure we were happy. I was impressed with the quality of the fencing/gates and excellent communication from both Jesse and Brian, I have not found it common that contractors try so hard to make sure you are happy and that you feel like they really have your back.

I can tell they take a lot of pride in their work and they have a LOT of experience doing these things and know how to do it right. I will go so far as to call them "craftsmen." I hope this long review helps them. I am looking forward to working with them in the future.

I hope they build fences better than they conduct business renting porta potties. We've rented two from them with twice weekly clean up. On two occasions they have not shown up to clean for weeks despite repeated calls. Billing continued of coarse with no refunds. When clean up did occur the driver would not fix broken toilet seat and would remove trash from the pottie and leave in the parking lot.

These guys do a horrible job for a lot of money. We've found a less expensive and more reliable company to service our needs. Give them a chance if you want to get raked over the coals.

Danny did a great job rebuilding a 14' section of our fence. Price was reasonable. Was a great communicator. Easy to do business with. What more can you ask for?

I was extremely disappointed with the Quotes Mr Ramos provided to me on a wood fence replacement. It took multiple calls to get the quotes after he measured the property which came in at $27,888 and $28,590. Note that the second quote contained a downgraded picket yet the price went up! The retail price of the downgraded picket was $3 a picket less than the first quote! OK, so it's obvious that he didn't want my business, so I contacted 3 other fence companies that had excellent review ratings and the same quotes came in within $200 of each other, the highest being $14,110, which included installation and staining. Because of this, I can't recommend Viking Fence to anyone.

Quality work, responsive to on the ground changes (we had miscommunicated about where to place a gate, but they switched over to placing the gate in the place requested without any issue). The project manager Brett and crew leader Edgar were great to work with, and the final product is excellent. Would definitely work with them again.

Just over 2 years ago I had Viking Fence quote and install around 50 feet of metal fencing. It went smoothly and while some of the components have begun to rust, no major complaints. However, I ended up realizing I needed some additional metal fencing installed of a similar length and have called Viking Fence three times over the past year to come and quote and in each case never heard back after speaking directly to the person who would swing by to do the quote.

I appreciate it's not the biggest job and pandemic supply chain issues make smaller jobs less profitable, but this is a poor way to treat *any* prospective customer or prior customer. It's made even more ridiculous as I would've likely accepted, without any negotiation, whatever quote they gave me as I trusted them and just wanted the fencing installed. Anyway, I'll now be calling some other Austin fencing company I've never used or spoken to who'll also be asked to quote on replacing my entire perimeter fencing in addition to the smaller project. Whoops.

I had some fence repair work done back in Jan 2019. The main contact for this work was Steve M. Fast forward to today and Steve M would not return phone calls, emails or even texts. Very unprofessional.

We had 2 sections of fence replaced. The fence was damaged by high wIndy's and the posts broke at the base (there might have been some water damage to one of the posts also, contributing to the weakness). Danny and Ed did a great job. it was finished quickly, and it looks great. Hopefully this new section will last another 15 years or longer (the age of the rest of the fence installed by Viking to replace the fence that came with our house).

When we purchased the house, it had a Viking Fence already installed. After 5 years of ownership, we wanted to address some issues caused by the various landscaping crews, and we were not ready to install a new fence. We contacted Viking Fence, and Brett came to give us an estimate on the repairs and changes we wanted to make. He was helpful and listened to what we needed.

After putting our order in for the work, we requested they expedite the schedule if possible, and Brett found a way to get the project done much sooner than quoted. Edgar and crew were very professional, working late into the evening to complete 95% of the job (they needed additional materials for quality assurance reasons to complete the final 5%). Edgar and crew returned as soon as weather permitted, and the job was completed.

The work was done very well, and the repairs make the fence much more attractive, adding several more years of useful life to it. I recommend Viking for your fencing needs, and we will be returning to them when it is time for a full replacement fence in the future.

Extremely unprofessional company. We were almost run over while we were walking by a company representative. When we told him he almost hit us, he verbally attacked us and cussed at us in front of an elderly customer he was providing a quote for. He then made extremely rude comments towards my wife and aggressively turned to walk towards her. I stepped in front to protect my wife and he assaulted me and tried to provoke me to retaliate and into a confrontation but I refused.

Police were called and a report was made. We tried to speak to the company but the manager was condescending and told us that he had hired the representative and he had a clean record so that is all that mattered to him. We later spoke again and he stated that if we wanted to hire an attorney to hire one and then have them contact his company's attorney.

He said the owner of the company would also call us but we never received a call, then later said he was only the messenger and the Owner would not be calling. WE chose not to pursue criminal charges against this companies representative even though I received a laceration that required medical attention. But we also figured this company would have the decency to take a stand against these kind of actions by its employees, If you look at the reviews you will notice that Viking's representatives have also almost ran over other people.

Instead of condone violence by its employees. Not sure why they would tolerate such behavior as they stress they are a family friendly company. I would not recommend using them or allowing them to be near your loved ones out of safety and concern for how they act in public. Id figure any person including the owner of this company would do the same and defend their wife from being attacked in such a way

The Viking estimator and installation crew were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were communicative throughout the process and were flexible with my schedule as I needed to coordinate removing some large, problematic trees before installation. And of course, the fence looks great! Would highly recommend. UPDATE: I used Viking for the second time on a project on our new home. Dan, our project coordinator, and Dimas, the lead on the construction crew were both very helpful and professional. I am very pleased with the outcome of our project. again!

Several years ago we had Viking Fence put in a custom iron fence for us. I was happy with the service we received at that time. We need to have handrails installed on our front porch steps and I wanted the design to match the fence. I also needed a small section of fence installed to hide a hot tub. I wanted the new section to match the existing fence. Well. Gil came out, took measurements and told me he would get a design and bid to me in 3 or 4 days. Called 4 weeks later and again Gil told me he would get a design and bid to me in 3 days.

That was over a week ago. Companies can decide who's business they want or don't want, but at be least be honest and not lead customers on and waste their time. It is too bad, because I had a good option of them and even recommended them to other neighbors. Won't make that mistake again.

Cliff notes: Absolutely do not trust this company with your hard earned money. Additional info: Not only did they not complete the project properly, they promised to fix it but then stopped communication once they charged my card for the balance (so just buying time until the charge cleared). Truly egregious behavior from a business and luckily I had the forethought of recording (video/audio) our conversations once the project went south.

Now I'm going to have to contract with another company to fix their errors and will send them the bill. To any prospective customers, I hope you save yourself the headache and go with another company.

During the spring storms, we had a section of our fence split at the ground line and fall down. After temporarily fixing it ourselves, it was clear we needed to at minimum repair the section that blew over. I called three different fence companies in the area to receive estimates for both the partial repair to our fence line and a full fence line replacement. Jesse with Viking Fence was the quickest to respond and by far the most professional.

During the bid process, he was very respectful of the decision my husband and I were trying to make cost-wise and did not press to find out details about the other bids or pressure us to commit to a scope bigger than we wanted. He was able to do an estimate virtually using pictures and survey information / measurements, which was really convenient for us.

He gave us several options to consider regarding a partial repair vs. a full replacement and did not pressure us to make our decision on the spot. We ended up going with the partial repair to our fence line and we never felt judged or pressed to upgrade our service. Truly, Jesse's kindness and professionalism were why we initially decided to select Viking over the other companies and I am so glad we did. Jesse and Lupe, his crew leader, were able to deploy service within a week of our commitment.

Not only was Jesse extremely communicative in helping set expectations with both myself and my husband by calling us before our scheduled day of work to review scope, but he showed up the morning of the service in person to review the job again and make sure Lupe had everything he needed for the day. I also loved how highly Jesse spoke of Lupe and his work, even before the job began.

He had nothing but kind things to say about Lupe and the working relationship they had, which was a huge encouragement to us to not only have someone come to our house that was thought so highly of but that Jesse took the time to lift up his team in such a positive way. It always feels good to work with good, kind-hearted people and I am so glad we got to work with Jesse and Lupe! Lupe worked quickly and diligently and he left no trace of trash or debris after he left.

I don't know that the craftsmanship of fence repair and replacement often gets acknowledged, but we truly felt we received an A+ job. Lupe even screwed in a few loose boards free of charge in a different area of our fence line just because he noticed it - to me, that is above and beyond. Our fence is absolutely beautiful and I have no doubt that Lupe's work is amazing no matter the size of the project.

We only had a 25' section repaired and I felt we got the same service as someone who gets their whole fence line replaced, which is not what I have read about other companies in the area. Jesse had said from the beginning that he would only recommend and deploy service that would be good enough for his family, and we truly felt that was the service we received.

After the project was complete, Jesse followed up with me the same day to make sure we were satisfied. I cannot express how kind, personable, and professional he was during the entire process. We will absolutely be contacting Jesse and Lupe in the future as we look to replace our remaining fence line.

I had two sides of the fence around my back yard replaced. Dan provided the original estimate, and due to delays getting my neighbor's approval with it, the work was started a few weeks after originally planned. Dan was very flexible and understood the need to postpone. Due to the fluctuating prices of lumber, the delay caused a small increase in the price.

When the Viking team came out to install, they were professional, quick, and efficient. They completed all of the work in around four hours, including digging up the old posts and removing the old fence. They worked hard, and they also did an amazing job with the fence. It looks great! I highly recommend Viking Fence.

I contacted Viking Fence to make some needed repairs to two gates to my iron fence. They walked the job, priced it out and promptly completed the work. Their work, and attitudes were great. In particular I was impressed with the professionalism of the 3 person Tempur and particularly Brett and Edgar. I had approached the original fence installer prior to contacting Viking and Brett and was dismayed by their attitude and down right refusal to do the job. Viking was so very pleasant to do business and I highly recommend them!

Rep came out quickly after requesting a quote, but the whole time talked down to me about costs and timelines. Was told i'd get a quote in a 2-3 weeks its been over 2 months and never heard back, went with someone else. Not sure why they wasted their own time and mine.

If you want a fence company that delivers with no excuses Viking Fence is by far the best. I made an appointment with Gil for reconfiguring and repairing a fence. Not only did he show up on time but also gave me a great price. On the day of the project Gil and his crew started early but rain stopped their progress so they returned the very next day and finished the job.

They also removed the old fence and made a few more improvements I hadn't thought of. He also texted me photos upon completion. Viking Fence has all my business from now on.

The project manage Ulises missed our scdeduled appointment by four hours. I tried to call their office an hour later, but got nothing, but their voicemail. He finally calls back hours later to reschedule with a lame excuse about being on another job, and still manages to show up two hours late for the rescheduled appointment. But to make it all the worse waste of my time, he can not even be bothered to submit a proposal to me.

Outstanding job! We are so very happy with our new fence. We worked with Dan, he was so easy to work with and kept us updated on the progress of our order and installation. Dimas and his crew were the hardest working men I think I know. They were very professional, quick, cleaned up perfectly. I don't know why anyone would try to build their own fence. The quality and price is terrific! We tell all our friends about Viking!

Fence looks great. Good communication from start to finish. Crew did a great job letting us know when they would be there and what they were doing. Took 5 days to install a residential fence 275' and 8' to 6' high. They were a bit on the high side of the quotes I received but they have good reviews for a reason and communicated gets and answered all my questions. I would use them again

I highly recommend Viking Fence. Jose and Dave are true professionals and very, very good at what they do. You can't go wrong with Viking!

Dave was available to answer any questions I had even after business hours. Crew did excellent work and answered questions I had. Fence and gate came out perfect and worked explained to me why he was doing different things. Highly recommend!

I could only give one star because after requesting a quote for a stair hand rail online, I did receive a call from"Joe". We spoke and I asked him to visit the property and provide a quote, I also send some photos via text. Never got a call back. I called "Joe" back twice and left messages, but never got a reply. I gave up and moved on.

Viking did a really nice job on our fence install. (Horizontal with metal posts). Frank worked with us on the project from design through completion. He was pleasant and dependable to work with and especially great at communicating both over the phone and text/email. From the beginning of the process Jorge and his crew gave us excellent service. They were punctual and exceptionally courteous. We (including the dogs) are thrilled with our new fence. Very well done!

Eight years ago, Viking Fence replaced my entire cedar fence. Due to a combination of shoddy materials and installation technique, most of the posts are already completely rotted through to the point of failure. Sections are sagging, and strong winds this week blew down another section. As you prepare to spend $20 or more per lineal foot on a fence, bear in mind that your Viking Fence might very well only last you a paltry 8 years.

I never expected to be facing major fence repairs or replacement this soon. I strongly recommend finding a better quality vendor that will use quality lumber (like treated posts) and install the fence correctly to minimize rot.
