In short I would highly recommend Robert O’Neal and 78 Fence to anyone who needs one built or repaired. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would, for the price he agreed to. This is what you would expect of any responsible contractor and that he is. Beyond that, of the many companies I contacted for my project he was the only one… who truly listened to my specific project needs. Through that communication I was able to get the fence I wanted, not just what I thought I would have to settle for at a price I could afford. He was on site to check on job progress and support

This is the second time we've used 78 Fence. The first time was several years ago to do a cedar fence and large decorative iron driveway gate at our house. We have been absolutely delighted with the handsome look and security of the gate. So many cheap gates can be pulled open enough for someone to slip through but you can't move our gate more than an inch and it has been essentially trouble free.

This time we had Robert (the owner) do 6' cedar exterior and interior fences at a duplex we own. They used larger metal posts set more deeply in the ground than the fence we were replacing and it's much

Robert ONeill fixed our gate operator. Great job! Super nice guy. Honest and reasonable prices. Made some great suggestions for a few minor modifications and its working better than new. Highly recommend.
