Report
E Toop Fences installed a new fence for our backyard and we are very impressed with them. Rich and his team are a pleasure to deal with from start to end. I have dealt with many contractors in the past, but very few would compare to how professional and efficient Rich and his team are. If you are looking for a fence, this is the company you need to be using.

If we could give more than a five star rating, we certainly would. Dealing with Rich and his crew was a pleasure: they were efficient and responsive, yet attuned to the details of our fencing project. We have an awkward hillside space that we feared would look boxed in with a fence, but the new fence blends in perfectly with the landscape. Most important, it provides the security that we desired. Our custom iron gate and fence at the front has garnered many compliments and makes the property stand out. We wouldn't hesitate to use E. Toop Fences again!

Rich and his staff were very accommodating last year when we had to delay fencing numerous times due to issues with our pool installation. When we were ready for them they came quickly, worked efficiently, were friendly and courteous. Very professional, great job done well. Pricing was competitive and we would not hesitate to use them again or recommend to friends and family.
