Here at Spence Fence, we supply and install many different styles of fencing. We produce wood fencing for most of the major homebuilders in Tulare, Kings, Fresno counties to Paso Robles. We have also completed specialty jobs such as The College of the Sequoias' ballfield, which you can see when driving down Route 198 in Visalia.
We also supply and install temporary fencing for construction sites or events. Chain link fencing for is very popular for residential, commercial and industrial properties and we make our own chain link gates in our in-house welding shop. Bob Spence started Spence Fence in 1977 with no known name, no contractor's license and no insurance.
Bob Lincicum, who owned Silverado Construction in Visalia, let Bob Spence install fence for his small construction company. The superintendent at the time, Mike Carrol of Hanford, said to Bob, "When you get your license, you should call your company Spence Fence." We laughed but thought it was a good idea.

Pipe and cable fencing is very popular for farms and is one of the most durable types of fencing out there. One of the reasons pipe and cable fencing is popular for agriculture is for the safety of the animals they contain. It is easy for example for a horse to injure itself on a pipe only fence. Pipe and cables fences are resistant to rust and corrosion, a good choice for interurban or rural areas where livestock or wildlife roams.
A new fence will help provide the security and privacy you need, the most popular option is wood as is very attractive and can be treated in a number of ways to enhance your home.

What a great company that respect you and keeps there times and dates. Had 73 feet of fence done that included 2 gates 7 ft high. I can't wait to get my other 2 sides done. The crew cleaned up really great I just did a little because I'm a perfect nut. So people don't even call anyone else when they are the best.
thanks

What ever happened to old fashioned customer service? The boards in the pics are only a piece of the story. Be informed. Take advantage of the state contractors licensing board website, Easy and informative. My mess happened becuz I believed the quote and verbal conversations and a great low price were all we needed.

They built a really beautiful fence, though the gate was choppy at the bottom, and a little ill fitting. I suggest that you and several members of the family watch the actual construction closely, so you can report problems on the day of the installation (and I'd report them to "Sam" AND the home office.) Why? Because the 'owner' with whom I spoke indicated that they send someone out on the day of the installation, but other than that, you signed the contract that says nothing broken under ground is their fault.) If you do have a problem, don't count on them

First fence fixed by Spence Fence in 2017 and it turned out great.
Hired them again in April, 2019 to fix the other sections of fence. They broke six sprinklers, left trash in my yard and left behind two rechargable batteries (plus charging stations).
For a week, I have received the run-around of when they're going to fix my sprinklers. My patience is officially expired.
Anyone need two Dewalt batteries and chargers?

I wouldn't even give them one star if I could. The head guy in the crew that did my fence he cursed at my husband and I and called my husband a "f***ing idiot" because the fence wasnt all the way to the ground like we asked, and they digged a hole in our yard to use the dirt to try and hide the big gap under the fence so they thought we wouldn't notice when we had grass before right against the old fence. The head guy of the crew also said we don't like the fence only because it's that we are white and they are mexican. For his information this was the third time

I called Spence fence and 2 days later Sam came out and gave me an estimate. Company seemed reputable. But I had questions on estimate so I called Sam. He answered right away but said he had to call me back. Okay I'm waiting and waiting. So 4 additional calls to Sam, same response "I'll call u right back 5 minutes." 5 minutes never came. I moved on.
If you are looking for fence work don't call Spence Fence. I don't know how this company stays in business.

Re my July review, it was supposed to read "cue" crickets to emphasize the quietness of my phone while awaiting a response from Spence.
So nine months later I need a fence. Yes, I tried Spence again. Called on Tuesday and was told someone would call me back in 2 days. Nada. Now 4 days later I called another company who will be out here on Tuesday for an estimate.

I requested bids from 3 fence contractors. I was very happy when Spence Fence came in with the lowest price and most importantly, the best quality materials, which included "invisible" metal posts. The start date was scheduled. They showed up on time and the work was done perfectly. I highly recommend them. D. Bradford Clovis CA

Had new wood fence put in on my property on may 9 2017.
Already has 47 boards with noticeable cracks and chips on them.
Fence is 67x81.
Spence fence refuses to replace these boards or refund me.
So basically the one year warranty will not cover this even though the warranty says it does.
And according to the contract I am to receive extra boards which I did not receive!
Already reported to Better Business Bureau.
Is that the way you treat all Military Veterans?! Guess I was lucky to get a discount!
Do not hire these people, they will rip you off.

In 2015, Spence Fence insalled my beautiful 7 foot fence, it has a finished look at the top of the fence, and i love it! I also asked if they could build a small fence around my not so cute pool pump, it now looks great!!!! it was a very reasonable add-on btw, glad i asked. The office staff was very helpful and patient, when I had questions about what would look nice. The employees that came out that day, were hardworking, polite, proffessional and fast! I have spoken to Wendy in the office several times, she has always been helpful and kind to me. I would recommend Spence Fence out of Visalia

Terrible service. We paid OVER $1000.00 for a side fence. The wood they used was badly warped and just on our 1 side need 19 slates replaced. After a month of run around, they sent a guy out to replace 7 boards in which he indicated that is what the female office manager instructed him to do. He had a very aggressive attitude and displayed is anger for even having to come out. After agreeing with me the wood planks were bad and warped he began bad mouthing the office manager and my female neighbor who wanted all the warped boards replaced and said he would come back and replace the rest himself

Terrible service, took weeks to get a quote, we finally get it and go ahead with our service they put posts in the ground and then text me to confirm the gate we wanted {which is not the gate at all} then when I tell them this they say they never gave me a quote on that. Not sure why they would give me a quote on something I never wanted but I ask what the price would be.. It takes almost a month and several phone calls on my part to find out it would be 1200$ more then what they quoted me before. I had to find a new person to him out gates who informed me they didn't even powder coat our
