Storm knocked down a huge portion of our fence right before we were to leave town. Spoke to Russ and he and his crew got a new fence put up quickly. Beautiful redwood will last the test of time. Russ was very responsive ( first time homeowner with first insurance claim) so I appreciate his patience. Will definitely use again in the future

I've been using Craig Fencing for close to 30 years, at several different properties (rental, and my own homes). They are efficient, honest, straightforward. My current property is just under two acres and they are working on some revisions on initial work done about 20 years ago. Thank you, Russ Craig.

I had about $14,000 worth of fencing done around my property, which is on a hill. The required retaining boards were delivered, but the foreman started the fence without using them. I had to argue with him to get the retaining boards installed, which he finally did, but he failed to sink the boards into the soil, which has resulted soil sliding down under the fence into the neighbor's yard. It is too late to fix it without tearing out the fence.
I had to supervise the job more than I liked, and some other issues slipped by. They have said they will come by and fix the other issues, but

We just had a backyard fence built by Craig Fencing and I am pleased by their professional work and attention to detail. The job foreman asked many questions and made suggestions throughout the process of building the fence. I really appreciated this attention to detail about the design that I hadn't thought about. Russ was responsive with emails and clear about when they would start the work, how long and how payment would work. Russ checked in on the job to make sure things were going well with his team and to touch base with us. Russ recommended redwood stain for us to use to preserve

Russ and his team did a thoughtful and careful job building a few fences at our home in Walnut Creek. Russ and his wife were responsive over the phone and email, and Russ personally came multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. He helped us think of a creative solution for the fence we needed along a retaining wall. His crews were friendly and hard-working, and the final product is beautiful.

Quote I received from them was 2x more than the other 4 quotes I received, all same spec's and materials. The other 4 quotes were all in the same ball park. Craig quoted $90/ft, all the others were around $40-$50 a foot. Why the difference? We're talking some redwood and a little cement. Oh and 12 weeks out, "but maybe we could fit you in earlier". Don't recommend this company unless you like to overpay for something as common as a fence and wait 3 months to get on their schedule.

My review seems to mirror some of the other Yelper's reviews...
I contacted Craig Fencing to get a quote for approximately 80' of side fencing as well as 2 RV gates that I wanted to have replaced. After a brief conversation with the woman (Mrs. Criag) on the phone to schedule the quote I told her that I was going to get 2 or 3 quotes for the fencing/gates and whoever came in with the best quality for the money would get the job. She immediately told me that they were not interested in competing with other fence contractors in the area and were no longer interested in bidding our job.

Called to set an appointment. The woman on the phone who schedules appointments was extremely rude and seemed a bit unhinged. She talked a lot, but her listening and comprehension skills are limited.
I called Craig Fencing before reading the Yelp reviews. Now that I have read them, I believe I am better off not using them.

Craig Fencing just installed a top quality new fence for me, and I'm extremely happy with it. The crew did a great job, and cleaned up everything as it was before they started. The fence boards are heartwood, so they have that nice reddish hue, and no white-ish stripes like I've seen on other fences. The owner Russ comes to do the estimate and then follows through on building the fence as promised. They removed the old concrete from the original posts, and added a concrete cap on every new post base, so water runs off and dirt doesn't build up around the bottom of the post, thereby

Craig Fencing installed fences and gates in about year 2000. Fence to left side of house began leaning toward neighbor about 8 or so years later and pulled away from gate so gate wouldn't work properly. While having some work done at the house by my wife's contractor brother, he anchored fence to house so fence wouldn't lean and repaired the gate.
Fast forward to June 2016. Rest of fence failing and leaning badly toward neighbor. Called Craig Fencing. They came out on June 1 and gave estimate to reinforce fence with additional support posts. My wife signed contract on June 6. Then

This is a completely unprovoked review (which seems like an anomaly in contra costa county). These guys did an amazing job on our fence. George was really professional and simply badass. Russ is a good dude to work with. We are renovating and have worked with so many contractors in the past 9 months. I think this has been the best partnership we have had. Work with these guys. You will not be disappointed.

They did a great job on my fence. Showed up on time, good quality wood. Let us use a credit card. Stayed on budget.
My mother (who passed away) painted some art on the old fence and Craig Fencing managed to cut out the artwork so we could nail the paintings to the new fence!
I would have given them five stars, but they trampled a couple of plants...
Would use them again.

My neighbor contracted Craig Fencing to install a new fence between our properties. Several weeks later, I returned home to find my front yard full of tree trimmings and fence debris, my back yard hose hooked up to my front yard water spout, tool belts and other equipment scattered around my property, and an electric cord plugged into my backyard power outlet. Needless to say, I was very surprised and upset as I had never spoken to any one from Craig Fencing. The next day, I returned home from work to find the fence finished but one of my gate posts had been shaved half way through and my terrace

Just adding to my last review. Craig Fencing replaced the fence along one of the two long sides of my property, plus 3 gates. The work was again excellent and the work crew was very pleasant and accommodating. The job required a lot more brush clearing on the neighbor's side than either I or Russ Craig had anticipated; they were cheerful and philosophical about it nonetheless. I was especially impressed by the fact that the crew carefully created a beautiful cut out around a largish tree limb, despite the fact that I'd told them I'd be okay with having it cut off if necessary.

Updated Review:
After calling four times and waiting for a month, I finally received a call from Mr. Craig, telling me that someone will come fix the fence. He apologized for not calling sooner, and explained to me that he had a family member who has been ill.
Someone did come and did fix the gap I complained about between the fence and the gate. Now there is no gap. The person who fixed the gate just added another panel of the fence over the existing one, so now the fence, unfortunately, is visually awkward. It did fix the problem with my toddlers, but still I wished this issue would not

I got a handful of estimates for fence building, and decided to use Craig Fencing since he was able to price match my lowest estimate and he also had an excellent rating in Checkbook magazine. The only time I met Russ Craig (owner) was only when he came over and gave me an estimate. Otherwise, we only conversed by email and phone. BTW, he is very difficult to get a hold of either way. (Notice there is no physical address, just a PO Box).
The day of the work, only a crew of Mexicans arrived, but not him. I didn't even see him when it came time to inspect the work or pay the bill.
