We had a vinyl privacy fence installed. Rich Mendenhall was our salesman. He thoroughly explained the available product options and took measurements and his communication was great. Installation went super fast and hassle free with the crew of 3 we had. Pricing was competitive with or better than the other companies we spoke to.

Stay away from this company!!! Not professional at all.
I simply wanted an estimate on aluminum fencing and aluminum privacy fencing. The owner is disrespectful and argumentative. I attempted to bring to his attention the behavior of his salesman and explain how his company could be losing money when the salesman starts off a conversation to deter or weed out a customer by saying a fence would cost 30k before finding out what a customer wants or needs, their budget, how much fencing they want etc. instead of listening, he proceeded to argue and defend a conversation that he never heard until I informed him that my daughter was right there and I have everything that was said on camera.

I had three other companies give me estimates along with any additional work (if necessary) that I would need to do on my end to get the project done. Not one said it could not be done. Not one quoted 30k. Not one said I needed to remove huge trees. The salesman, Josh focused first on informing me that it would cost 30k without even getting the full picture of what I wanted or doing a measurement. When that didn’t deter me, he tried to tell me that I would have to remove several very large trees (no one else said that I needed to remove any trees out of three reputable companies with better reviews than this company). I still asked for the estimate with whatever needed to be done. He talked all around it. When the tree removal didn’t deter me, he finally said that they couldn’t do the job and then told his boss half truths about I wanted 6 foot fencing on the front of my house and against a neighbors fence which was not at all our conversation because I already know the ordinances for my city, we spoke specifically about me not interested in trying to argue with the city about a 6 foot fence and Josh even mentioned the 4 foot fences and how they could picket them etc. Additionally, my other estimates would clearly show I never mentioned wanting anything like that done.

I recently had fence installed and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial quote to the final installation, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with.

The installation crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the area clean throughout the process. The quality of the workmanship really stands out—you can tell they take pride in what they do. My new fence looks amazing.

If you’re looking for a reliable fence company that delivers great results and excellent customer service, I highly recommend them!

Solid communication with Rich Mendenhall - quick and offered suggestions! The installation was sooner than expected - lucky on timing. Finally, our favorite part of the process, the work performed by Darius and James. Very happy with their work and diligence!

In the spring of 2024 my wife and I were in search of a fence company. We were interested in a fence that encompassed our backyard and side yard, with a divider fence and multiple gates. Our main goal was to keep our dog in the yard and have something that looks great. We were envisioning a post and rail fence with 4 rails that has a farmhouse look that fits within our budget.

We called multiple fence companies to get multiple quotes and most companies either did not know what type of fence we wanted or were way out of budget. Mike, owner of Great Lakes Fence Company, was actually my first call and although I called other companies, I alway thought back to that first call. Mike answered his phone on my initial call, he knew what fence type we were interested in, and offered to come out to the property and put together a quote for us. He was not pushy nor was he trying sell us something we didn’t need.

When Mike arrived we walked the property, he took measurements and noted how many gates and where they were located. We requested a unique divider fence that separated our back from side yard so we can divide the yard up. After that site visit Mike left us with confidence in his work and we anticipated his quote. A few days later Mike emailed us an estimate and visually layout of the fence and image of what the fence would look like. We were impressed with the documentation that he provided to us, something no other company did, and the price for furnishing and installing the fence was within our budgeted amount. We reached out to Mike with some additional questions like:

Who installs the fence?
What options do we have as fence material?
Do you concrete the posts into the ground?
Do we need to secure a permit?

All of these question, among others, were answered promptly by Mike and to our satisfaction. To our surprise, Mike and his worker were to install the fence and offered additional options of wood species. The process thus far gave us great confidence that Mike was the right guy for our job. We secured Great Lakes Fence Company to install our fence and we were placed on their schedule.

Mike and his workers arrived on day one with the material for our fence and they got right to work. About A week later the fence was complete.

I cannot overstate how pleased we were with Mike and his team’s work. They were punctual, kind, understanding, and extremely hard workers. Mostly, they were normal guys providing an excellent product. I would highly recommend Great Lakes Fence Company for any fence project, not because the product is amazing, but because Mike stands by his work and has great respect for his customs.

Thank you Mike and Ralph for your work!
