They came when scheduled and did a great job. They cleaned up everything and managed to not impact a single plant!

My sister and I have worked with Scripps Poway Fence multiple times over the years to install and repair fencing at our home in Rancho Penasquitos. So when my Mom's fence needed replacement, I reached out to Ron for a quote in the Fall of 2020. They were extremely busy so I had to wait for a while, but I got an appointment and Ron gave me a quote. My Mom's fence was literally ready to fall over, and it almost did in the bad winds that we had in January. The team came out in late January and they got to work. We replaced both sides of the fence, two gates and some lattice work around

SPF replaced a 90 ft cedar plank fence for myself and next door neighbor. There were a few issues we discovered after the install, mainly due to the fence being on a slope with differing ground level between the two yards and also changing from all planks on one side to a "good neighbor" design with alternating sections. Ron came out the very next day with his crew in tow, was completely agreeable and all of the issues were corrected. The quality of the planks, framing, metal posts and overall installation is good. I am pleased with the final outcome and customer service from Ron and

My old wooden fence blew down during a Santa Ana wind storm. Ron had his team out within a day. They temporarily fixed my fence so I would have a fence while waiting for the material order for the new vinyl fence I selected. The new fence looks great. I'm writing this review 3 years later because of the customer service. There was a small issue with one of the fence posts due to settling. I contacted Ron and he had his team come out within a week. While at my home they not only fixed the issue but checked the entire fence line for any issues and made adjustments as needed no questions

Ron and his team of Jose,Armando,Carlos and Angel did a fantastic job.They worked hard each day, during the recent heat wave. Each of them is highly skilled. When there was a decision about some appearance, the team asked my preference. They always wore a mask when I spoke with them. The price was better than two others and reasonable. I definitely recommend them.

This is the third time I've used Scripps/Poway, and the end result is the same...a job well done. This time Ron, Carlos, Angel and team created and installed an ornamental iron gate along with some stub fences. There was one issue (not really their "fault"), but the team jumped on it and helped me remedy it promptly. In my experience, the team at Scripps Poway is professional, competent and customer focused.

I highly recommend Scripps-Poway Fencing as your "Go To" company for all your fencing needs. The owner of the company, Ron Heater, delivered quality workmanship and honest work ethics. Their free on site estimate, service, scheduling, final completion and follow up were all conducted in a very reliable manner. Our fence job was a tough job at a large residential house located in northern San Diego.
