Smucker Fencing

I called Smucker Fencing to install vinyl railing for a few steps on my front porch based on their great reviews online. I am very happy with the final product and the price was better than quotes I got from some other places. I had to follow up with scheduling after waiting 5 weeks after putting down a deposit. Fortunately, they were able to get me on the schedule within the following week. The work was done over 3 days. The weather curtailed work on the first day, and they had to go back to back to get more materials on the second day after part of the railing was cut incorrectly. Also left lots of vinyl shavings in the flower beds adjacent to the steps. Overall I am happy with the work.

John, Matt and his crew exceeded my expectations. My job was unique and required skillful craftsmen with attention to detail. They were all this and more. They were super professional, courteous and did I mention their prices were good? I am very particular and I would highly recommend them.

I've got nothing but good things to say about this business. I had a two-rail split rail fence with black mesh installed in my backyard and it came out beautifully! From the start of this process, Smucker was professional and prompt. They sent the estimate in good time, they answered all my questions well and, best of all, they were able to put the fence in mid-April rather than late May as they originally projected! Nate and two other young men arrived on time at 8am and were done by 3pm. Nate answered my questions, and did exactly what I asked for with some particular spots. In the end, they left with everything cleaned up nicely and the old white vinyl fence they removed stacked neatly to the side of the yard. I'd definitely use them again and recommend them with no reservations.

Cannot say enough good things about Smucker Fencing. Their estimate was done in a timely manner, scheduling shortly after accepting the bid, and completion was in less than 2 days! The fence looks fantastic, is sturdy, and installation was clean and tidy. Don’t bother getting another quote, just choose Smucker!

I had 12 sections of picket fence installed thru the middle of a large perennial flower bed this spring. The guys did a great job and went out of their way to avoid tramping on all the new flowers just beginning to peak thru the ground. My wife was very pleased.
