We had an 8' × 24 ' privacy fence installed and a floating deck within. We live in a development without much garden space and this gave us a private area to have a container garden and outdoor seating. We are thrilled with the result and are so pleased we had 'Sam's Fence and deck services' do all the work. They were professional, courteous and skilled. The workmanship is top notch. They installed in 2 days and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was done. Throughout the planning and execution we talked with Virginia in the office who kept everything organized and communicated. She is such a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Sam'sPosted on Google![]()

Sam’s Fence sold me first with their customer service. I felt like they took the time to give me options and I found exactly what I wanted. I hired them to install a fence around my front yard. I’m on a corner lot with a curved curb. They curved the picket fence to match the curb. They came on time, spoke to me prior to starting the project and asked questions to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. I could not be happier!!!! The fence is all individual slats so if I need to make a repair in the future, I don’t have to replace a section. The crew was friendly and respectful to me and my property.Posted on Google![]()

Sam and team installed railing on the front outdoor stairs. The railing is beautiful and well done. The second team built a large enclosure for our three trash cans, as well as a rebuild for a gate lattice enclosure structure under the deck. It would be 5 stars had the teams cleaned or tidied up the work space. We called four one small adjustment in the gate, and they tidied up to my husband’s request. The work was well done, and the team was very polite.Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend this company and commend them for the exceptional work they do. Sams and Fences came out to our home and performed remarkable work replacing our deck, fence, and currently installing stamp concrete. This team works as one the Administrative staff Virginia is amazing, most importantly Jason the senior lead manager salesman is out of this world, the deck crew provided beautiful workmanship. The owner of the company even came by after the job was completed to ensure our needs were meet and to address any concerns (which we had none).

Super impressed with Sam's Fence!! The crew installing our 6' wood privacy fence in the middle of July were all young guys but very motivated and experienced, and when they left the yard was clean and the fence was perfect. The fence came out better than we'd hoped, and it really adds to the house. Great value for the money. Virginia and Samuel at the office made the process easy and answered all of our questions quickly. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality fence.Posted on Google![]()
