With the windy and rainy early part of the year, our fence got knocked down.
I spent a good amount of time looking at different companies, seeing photos of completed projects, reading reviews, but in the end, I couldn't decide, so got quotes from a few different companies.
What set Coastal Lumber apart was really just one thing:
The estimator who came out reviewed the fence, the good parts and the bad parts, and worked to find solutions that were less expensive. In fact, even when I didn't balk at certain materials, he was quick to point out that what I was thinking was overkill. Later, when the neighbor we shared the fence with asked about CC vs. CH wood, she leaned towards the more expensive CH (something I would have done too, had I thought of it), but Coastal Lumber pointed out that if we wanted it, he'd be happy to oblige, but the current fence we are replacing had plenty of CC wood that was still more than fine, despite it being 20 years old. So while we could get better quality wood, it wouldn't make the fence last any longer.
None of the other fence companies I spoke with had the same critical eye towards the construction and materials. The other companies simply said "yeah, sure, we can do that" without any consultative push back to prevent my neighbor and I from wasting money. For some parts, Coastal could have easily gotten my neighbor and I to agree to more expensive materials, and could have suggested construction that would have taken more hours and cost us more. But in each case, Coastal focused on right-sizing the project instead of padding here and there.
That.
That right there.
That's why we chose Coastal.
And the finished product? I don't know much about fences, but it looks pretty damn good, feels solid, and I'm confident that the higher concrete crowns will help prevent the base of the support posts rotting.
The work was done in a day including cleanup.
Great company, trustworthy, high integrity, professional, fast, quality work.
