We replaced a very old wooden fence with a new red cedar fence from Smucker's. Our new fence is beautiful, and they were one of the easiest contractors we have ever worked with from start to finish. DJ, the foreman on our job, was terrific. We changed our fence line so it was a bit stressful until I could actually visualize something. DJ was so patient with me as we discussed adjustments along the way, including moving two posts after they were in concrete because I decided I did not like the original placement! He could not have been sweeter about it. I highly recommend them for your new fence.

We needed a lengthy fence installed to replace an old, less functional one around the perimeter of our yard. Based on terrific reviews we turned to Smucker Fencing. Karen, John and Ben have been great to work with and the men who installed the new cedar fence were terrific, keeping us informed along the way. The profile cut on the top of each stave makes the fence look a bit unique...and it is really nice. We have received numerous complements from neighbors and people passing by. I am very happy with the fence and will ask them to install additional fencing within the yard. Great people and great quality of the product and work makes the process very smooth!

We had Smucker Fencing install a 2 piece front step railing on the front of our home. A representative came out the day after our call, evaluated the job, a quote was emailed the next day. Once material was received a date was set for installation. John did a quality job. He identified himself, was respectful, very professional and cleaned up when finished. We would definitely recommend this company for any fencing/rail needs.

I had Smucker Fencing install a new 10 foot gate to match my existing fence. They did a great job, and they were very easy to work with. I highly recommend and would use them again in the future!

Couldn't be more satisfied or pleased with the entire Smucker Fence Co.Karen, who took my first phone call, was very helpful and arranged an on- site visit around my work schedule. The old fence was removed and the new fence installed without a glitch. Very impressed with the workmanship, how neatly, and efficiently my fence was replaced. And above all, the character of each of the Smucker employees...kind, respectful, honest, quality workmanship. Wouldn't hesitate to use Smucker again. Celia Paolantonio

I first used Smucker Fencing a few years ago to do a vinyl fence in our backyard to enclose a large area surrounding the pool (it was a big job, over 10k). They did a BEAUTIFUL job and it still looks great years later. A couple of years afterwards, I had a question about one of the gates not swinging shut automatically and they came out instantly to tighten it. This past week, I had them put an enclosure around our pool equipment (HOA regulations requirement) and they came out and did another fantastic job, making sure the enclosure matched our existing fence (the pic attached was taken in summer, so it shows the big fence but doesn't show the latest job from this week, since everything is now covered in snow). They also replaced a couple of individual fence panels for me while they were here, as our daughter had accidentally put some holes in it while doing archery (ugh!).The Smucker Fencing workers are so professional, friendly and very meticulous. Would highly recommend them for either a big job or a small job - they are definitely 5 stars!
