Default Recommend me a Fence Guy

Looking to do a fence on our new build, looking for recommendations on reasonably priced companies with good workmanship.

Has anyone got any recommendations? Hopefully this is the right area to ask.

First it's no fence. What's next? You're gonna sit on a bomb toilet?

Like a #####?

Greig at A Good Son did my fence and it turned out very well. I am very happy. His website is down now it seems, but PM me and I'll give his # or email.

I'm sure you know this, but just get multiple quotes and go from there. We had one fence post break this year in a storm, and two became loose in their holes, they were about 20 years old. They were 6x6 inches each and encased in concrete and I wasn't about to spend a Saturday digging and repouring concrete for the substandard result I'd end up with. Also one was very tricky in terms of access.

We had three quotes, the low quote was $400 and the high quote was $1800.

We selected the low quote and the job took two guys about 4 hours. They had the right tools and made it look easy.
