We had two fences blow down during the recent storm. Michael is super easy to work with and very responsive. Less than a week later after calling we have brand new fences, and they are beyond our expectations. Workers did a great job, the fence looks fabulous and is beautiful. So glad he was our fence guy. Will use him again, but it may be 20 years!! This fence is built to last. Thank you!

One of my neighbors referred us to South Bay Five Star Fence, and they exceeded expectations. Michael, the owner, came out to give us a quote. He was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. We were very satisfied with the craftsmanship and quality of our new fence. In fact, the 6-man crew was efficient and completed the fence in one day. Lastly, Michael provides exceptional customer service and goes out of the way to ensure we were content with the end product. We highly recommend South Bay Five Star Fence.

I called for an estimate of a small fencing area; however, the job was too small but they were very helpful in referring me to another fencing company that contracts for smaller projects. I appreciate their honesty and assistance to provide another contractor who would be able to assist my needs. I will definitely recommend South Bay Five Star Fence Company to others.

We are so pleased that we found Southbay Five Star Fence Co. The response and quality of the work that was completed for us was exceptional. The work crew got to work on time and worked hard all day. Everything was cleaned up and our fence looks great. Very high quality wood and workmanship. Mike, the owner made sure that everything was done correctly and wanted to make sure that we were satisfied.

We hired this company to replace a fence line between ourselves and our neighbors. The fence is well-built. However, the cement posts were left a mess. There was cement in the dirt and rocks along the fence line that I had to clean up, which took me days of work. I had to dig deep in order to get all of the cement, rocks and dirt. No client should have to live with, or clean-up after, a fencing company. Below is just a snapshot of the work I completed.

We hired South bay Fence and Landscaping to replace a doublewide redwood gate entry into our backyard. Mike, the owner, came out personally to discuss the specifics and provide a bid. It was a cost competitive bid, and with our approval, he scheduled to complete the job within 10 days. He provided an experienced crew that did a complete gate replacement, which included digging out the old post footings down 3 feet, replacing the 4X6 posts, and construction heart redwood for the gate boards. The gate is very solid, put together with decking screws rather than nails. The hinge and latch hardware is attractive powder coated black steel. We are very happy with the result, and will use this company for our fencing needs in the future.

Mike and his crew were very efficient, on-schedule and professional. They listen to your needs, provide their expert opinion and exceed your expectations. That is how we ended with a 2ft retainer and arched double gate. Wonderful quality work done on time.

Mike and his crew installed a redwood fence with a lattice top. They also added a short segment of pressure-treated retaining wall. They did very good work for us. The fence looks beautiful. They were professional, prompt, efficient, and reasonably priced. We had a good experience.

We love our new fence! It’s way beyond our expectations. Mike Ortiz and his crew did a fantastic job and are easy to work with. Mike even gave us samples of different wood when we werent sure of which grade to go with (we went with con heart upgrade). Mike also responds to my texts/phone calls quickly (unlike some companies where you have to wait for days). South Bay removed and hauled off our old fence at no additional charge. Job was completed in 2 days as promised. It looked so good, our neighbor who initially didnt want to replace the shared back fence changed his mind and wanted some additional work done on his property as well. The crew returned 2 days later and completed that job in 2 days. The crew was very accommodating and flexible to our requests throughout the entire job (we requested 6 x 6 posts rather than the usual 4 x 4 posts which made a huge difference in the look that we wanted). They are fast and the quality is outstanding. We would highly recommend them.

These guys are true professionals. They put up a new 100 foot section of fence and replaced three gates for us. The quality of the work is exceptional and the amount of work they accomplished in two days was truly remarkable. Very efficient and experienced builders. Got several bids, this was the most reasonable. The owner, Michael Ortiz, is easy to work with and true to his word. Can’t say enough good things about South Bay.

We decided to ask Michael and his team to help building our new fence and gate, because they had already done several fence works in our neighborhood, and we really like their work. Its very easy to tell the difference when you walk down the street and look at different houses fence works.We recently had Michael and his team building half of our fence and a new fence gate for us, we are really happy with our new fence and new gate, they are made from very high quality Con Heart Redwood, and the work is very high quality too, I believe our new fence can last at least 15 to 20 years with minimal care.Michals team are very professional and efficient, they built around 140 feet long fence and two fence gates for me and my neighbor in one day with very high quality, and they take great care of our houses, the plants that are close to the fence, they also cleanup the yard and took away all the old fences and garbages.The cost is very reasonable considering the high quality materials they use and their fence works, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who want a beautiful new fence / gates that will last long.

Mike and his team did a fantastic job replacing our front yard fence.We asked to slightly change the project once the team had already started working on it, and they promptly helped to get it done the way we wanted. We definitely recommend South Bay Five Star Fence.

Mike Ortiz is by far the most responsive business owner I have worked with (who is additionally very friendly and quite charming). My backyard fence was old and in need of a total replacement. I got a quick call back and a scheduled appointment. Mike personally came to my property to assess, measure and write up the quote. He broke down the total cost of into shared costs between the 2 neighbors on the other side, and my cost. I received 3 quotes in total from other fence contractors and chose Mike because of his expertise and knowledge. His team came and replaced my 59 fence in one day. I am completely satisfied with the workmanship and quality of work. I plan to use South Bay Five Star Fence again for a future job.

Mike and his team did an outstanding job of removing 80’ of old fence and installing a much higher quality fence and custom gate. I was very happy with the employees and their professionalism. I received 3 other quotes from other fence contractors and chose South Bay FIVE STAR fence. The quality of the wood products used in construction were superior to other local fence companies. His team did exactly what was promised. Arrived on time, completed in one day! I am completely satisfied with the workmanship and quality of work. I will look no further for future fencing needs for myself and neighbors in the future.

Im dissapointed with neighborhood fences that dont last. The materials at Home Depot and Lowes were not the quality that I wanted. After rejecting a number of bids from local fence builders, I contacted Mike Oritz and stressed the importance of quality materials. Mike came over right away and offered to build just wat I wanted - 4x6 treated posts and 2x12 treated kick boards (all Douglas Fir), select redwood rails and cleats, and con heart redwood boards. I only needed my backyard fence replaced (66 feet long). The crew arrived on the day scheduled and removed the old fence and constructed the new fence all in one day! After waiting several weeks for the boards to adapt, I purchased several gallons of sealer, which I applied myself. We love it. You will love working with Mike and appreciate the quality of the job.

Los Gatos Fence Company does outstanding work. I am an extremely satisfied customer. We had a big job in the LG mountains and obtained bids from five major local fence companies. Not only was Los Gatos Fence Cos bid the best, but the quality results exceeded expectations. They started and finished the job in a fast, efficient, yet conscientious manner. The fence looks fantastic. Troy Emmet and his team were a pleasure to work with. Troy was extremely responsive and knowledgeable, and even accommodated last minute changes. He was generous with information and advice on how to save money and take care of the fence in the long run. Communication was clear and easy; Troy kept in close touch during all phases of the project. I would not hesitate to use this company again and plan to refer them to friends with fencing needs. I could not be more pleased.

Mike Ortiz did a great job replacing our wooden fence and cutting back the overgrown bushes/tree branches that were near the fence. Mike made the extra effort to design the fence so it steps-down gradually, rather than have the fence look uneven on the downhill grade. Its always hard to get contractors to come up to our home in the Santa Cruz mountains, and so I appreciated that Mike was so attentive and answered his phone immediately the times that I called him. His crew are hard-workers and were so professional. They replaced the 800 ft. long fence in 1 day. I love going to my backyard and looking in awe at how lovely the fence looks and how clean the yard looks with the overgrowth trimmed back.

Finally a honest, reliable and excellent craftsmanship construction company. Troy was very attentive to our needs and was there from start to finish. The two man crew Jorge and his helper did a marvelous job in building our fence. They were down to earth, very meticulous, always doing the right way to do things. Word NO is not in their dictionary. They even fixed some portions of my other side of the fence which had fallen and was done by A&J Fencing just 3 years ago. I cant say enough about these two guys efforts and work. Havent seen this kind of excellent workmanship along with humbleness. Unbelievable. I never thought I would have a work done in my house with 0 complaints. And I am not writing this just because they did me a favor or something. I do have my own share of let downs, poor craftsmanship in the past 20 years of owning my current house. These guys were simply superb. I havent written this much of a detailed yelp review ever. I would highly recommend them for your fencing needs.

We just had our fence replaced and it looks great, very professional and the owner Mike provides great service as far as meeting you, texting with updates, estimating and setting up his team with the right information. We think the fence looks very sturdy and they use high quality materials so it’s built to last.

Everything were done within 1 day, the fence look beautiful . Thanks for everything .

Mike Ortiz heads South Bay Fence and Landscaping. He listens very well and offers suggestions whenappropriate. Our job was to have approximately 200 ft of redwood fence re-stained and a new 9 ft driveway gate replaced along with 4 ft of fence. His price proposal was fair, and he estimated that it would take two of his men one day to complete the job ( not counting the staining of the gate itself, as the new wood needed approximately 5 Days to cure prior to staining). The job was completed by 6pm and his two workers left. After they left, I carefully reviewed the gate and discovered that:1. It was not level.2. There were knots in the wood- we were assured there would not be.3. The left gate did not match the right gate.4. One hinge screw was missing and two were completely broken off. (They had used the wrong screws with the hinges)5. Five sections of the gate had been gouged by the nail gun being set too high which severely marred the finish.Mike came by soon after our inspection and looked at the gate with us. He was very apologetic, and assured me that they would correct the mistakes. Then he went one step farther. He said he would rebuild both gates completely from scratch and he would also use the highest grade of redwood. He also said he would speak to his two workers and make sure that they understood their original mistakes and that they would not repeat them. We agreed that they would return in four days with new wood and a new attitude toward our job. They did, and the end result was perfect. Note that Mike did not increase his pricing to do this. Essentially, he built two gates for us for the price of one. He may not have made any money on this job, but the goodwill he gained was surely worth it. I would totally recommend Mike to friends and neighbors alike, and should I need additional fence and/or gate work South Bay Fence would be first on my list to call. Incidentally, there were never any hard feelings nor was any anger displayed over the initial issues. Mike was professional throughout and assured us that he would not be satisfied unless we were.In the end, we were all more than satisfied...Jim Barbeau

Me and my family had recently moved into our first Owned home. Aside from a few minor repairs our biggest concern was the broken down fence surrounding our home. My husband and myself enjoy spending our free time with our children, family and friends at our home BBQing and entertaining, so privacy is very important to us.When we purchased our home it was very imperative that we found not only a contractor that we could trust; but, one that could see our vision and create our vision..This was something we would have for a very long long time.Los Gatos Fence came very highly recommended to us and had the reviews and previous customer references that supported all we were hearing.When we meet with Los Gatos Fence, they were very in-tuned to what we were looking for and in detail explained how they would not only accomplish this vision my husband and I had for our new home; but, also a very competitive price.Were thrilled to report Los Gatos Fence Delivered. Our new home looks even better with our new fence. It is nothing short of high end work. And the team at Los Gatos Fence..friendly & professional.I will refer Los Gatos Fence to all my friends, family and neighbors.Thank You Los Gatos Fence for helping in making our house a home...

Had an awesome experience. Called South Bay Fence and Mike came out to our home and promised me that he could take care of our situation before our 4th of July party. We were so grateful and appreciative of him keeping his promise. And we had a fantastic gathering and everyone loved our new fence. Thank you South Bay Fence. A five star total experience.

Michael was referred to me! So if my uncle is referring anyone to me, he’s got to be nothing less than a class act. And yes he was.... He shows up on time. He follows through on every detail and doesn’t make promises that he can’t keep. He handles every aspect of his business from beginning to end, and is sure to not let a single thing fall through the cracks. He is fair in every way and he says exactly what he means. And his CREW..... they say that you should always hire people that are smarter than you! Michael did a phenomenal job hand selecting these amazing men. It doesn’t matter the road block, they had a solution! And the solution wasn’t a quick fix! It was well thought out! They are Incredibly polite, well spoken, make it happen no matter what kind of men, and they communicated with me throughout the entire process. It’s unheard of in the construction industry that I too have been a part of for decades. Let me just say this, if you don’t hire him, you’ll wish you had. I promise you’ll regret it!!! Can’t begin to thank him and his crew enough!!!

Mike no-showed to my confirmed estimate appointment.Mike contacted me about a week later and did not acknowledge that he no-showed at the appointment (as if it never happened).Second consecutive SJ fence contractor (including Noble Fencing) to no-show and also to not acknowledge no-showing.

Just had a new fence installed. QUALITY work at a reasonable price. I could tell that the workers took pride in building the fence, especially the large trailer gate. They took no short cuts. As things progressed, and slight changes were suggested, they consulted with me on each and every one so as no surprises. But more importantly, they explained how the change would be an improvement over what was originally suggested. I trusted their judgement, and am please with the overall results. So if you want a quality fence, your first call should be to Mike, the owner at South Bay Fence and Landscape.

Im writing this review not as a customer, but as a friend and associate of Troys. I have worked at many different places, with many different people. Even with Troy in the past. I can say with certainty that Troy is one of the most honest and hard working people I have ever met. The fences he puts up are phenomenal. Ive witnessed the inner workings and operations of his company. He hand picks the lumber, and oversees all projects. He does not rest until every customer is satisfied. That being said, the pictures speak for themselves. Ill be going to him for my next fence.

I had a fence in my yard that was getting old and dilapidated .My neighbors all left the challenge to me to figure it out.After seeing Los Gatos Fence companies sign on a completed fence that had looked perfect in my eyes.I decided to give them a try. price was spot on, and so was the attitude of the employees. I would give them a five star but I prefer only to give those out only once a blue moon. All and all I would recommend to a friend or family in need.

Recently we had to have a fence built in a difficult area on our property, i described it to several companies and was told they would call me back to set up a time to give me an estimate, los gatos fence company was the only one to respond in a timely manner and still be less expensive than the other quotes i eventually got. after i approved the work, they started and finished within the time they promised and the work done was top notch plus the workers were very friendly and knowledgeable. if you need a fence done for a very fair rate with high level a quality and standard these are the guys to call, thanks so much and i will be using them in the future
