K&J Fencing

I bought a new house in Courtenay while living in the lower mainland and had to book a fence install before even seeing my property and Kurt was beyond helpful and professional over the phone & email and we made our booking. Closer to the date he was very available to answer any questions I had and when it came time to build my fence, him and his crew were there first thing in the morning, very considerate and professional and got the job done right. They came back a few times to adjust my fence after I got my landscaping done too which was very nice. Overall a wonderful experience and a wonderful crew. Thanks guys!

I may be a little biased as I am also one of the installers, but yeah, great fences and great quality (especially if I did it :P)

Kurt, was completely unprofessional when it came to repairing the gate he installed. Our gate fell off twice. The hinges and screws he used were way too small for the size of the gate. The first strong wind that came along blew the gate right off, ripped the hinges and screws right out of the wood. He did not want to do any extra work on it even though we have a 10 year guarantee. In the end we hired another contractor to come and fix the gate at our own expense. Check out Comox Valley rent and raves for a more extensive story.

We were very pleased with both the fence quality and the timely and professional manner of the installation. We would recommend K&J to others.

Really happy with the new fence K&J just put in for us. It looks great! They were quick and left our yard looking better than when they had showed up!

Great work. Some attention to keeping a clean work space would give a 5 star rating

Working with K&J Fencing was an excellent experience and opportunity for me. I learned lots and developed some real world skills. The quality of work is excellent and they strive for timely work to keep your yard secure!

The owner of this company needs to learn what professionalism is.He completely took advance of an 87 yr old man (our neighbour) who just wanted his fence rebuilt as his previous fence (even, with no gaps at the bottom so our pets , a cat and a medium sized dog, couldn't get thru).We are the neighbours who share this fence and were appalled not only at how the owner treated our elderly neighbour and us , but also what a terrible job was done.We have a fence that wasn't the same height all the way along the top, HUGE spaces all the way along the bottom where my neighbours pet and mine could get thru easily (even though they were reminded several times over several days to make it even and lower to the ground and we were reassured that it would be done.)PLUS piles dirt and rocks piles all over our gardens, pole holes left unfilled, broken branches from our mature shrubs, and trampled plants no where near the fence line AND 3 large/ main branches from our 15 year old apple tree cut right back to the trunk and HUGE humps of cement piled onto of the soil in the flower beds.When we spoke to the owner after workers called him to speak to us, he indicated that he thought the job was done. We pointed out that the fence panels were not level and the spaces at ground levels were HUGE He indicated that the ground was not level". we indicated it never was but that the fence that they had been removed was level and without huge spaces at the bottom. We just wanted the fence to be the same as it had been. His response was ' now you want landscape ties too"

This is a long review, but if you plan on using K & J fencing you should take the time to read. We’d seen the work K&J had done on new installs and decided we would contact them for an estimate to replace our tired fence. Kurt showed up when he said he would, and we discussed our requirements. Once we received the estimate we agreed on a date and paid half down for materials. They were a few weeks past the agreed upon date, but we put that off the COVID. The tear down of the old fence went well. Except for the damage done to our garden where the workers trundled through. Some plants were destroyed. Most of the old fence and concrete was hauled away. During the installation of the new fence the workers had to be reminded of panel locations and to minimize the gaps at the bottom of the fence etc. This was a daily occurrence throughout the install. After approximately one week the fence appeared to be mostly complete. The workers did a quick cleanup and left without saying a word. At no time during this whole process was Kurt seen attending the site. Within an hour of the workers leaving, we received an invoice for the balance owing. Before sending the money, my wife did a walkaround and this is what she found.Photo #1, gate opening from right hand instead of left-hand side.Photo #2, dirt pile left in the garden.Photo #3, old fence post concrete left in garden.Photo #4, damaged retaining wall.Photo #5 undermined retaining wall.Photo #6, fence post cut too short.Photos #7 & 8, walkway pavers removed and unable to install due to over abundance of concrete.Photo #9, undermined city sidewalk.Photos #10 & 11, gate post hole and gap.Photo #12, back yard fence gap.Photo #13, backyard fence gap.Photo #14, front fence gap.Photo #15, us repairing the retaining wall.So, it was apparent that Kurt did not do a final quality walkaround of the site prior to sending the final invoice. We contacted him and I met him the next day to show him the shoddy work. The first thing he said is “We are not landscapers”. No, they’re not that and that is obvious, but they should not leave a job site in worse condition than when they arrived. We asked that they return and remediate the deficiencies after the BC day long weekend, but he had his job site foreman return to work the next day. Most of the shortcomings were repaired adequately except for the fence post that was cut too short but would be repaired later and the retaining wall. This was completed in late September. And we paid the balance owing. Had we been seniors or physically challenged in any way, we would have been in a position n where we’d have to hire landscapers to come in and repair the damages caused by K & J fencing.So, are we happy with the end result? Mostly. Would we use K & J Fencing again? Never. Would I recommend K & J Fencing? Also, a no.Perhaps their work on a first install is good but not in our established yard.

Quite happy with our wood-framed metal fence! It was built in July of 2021 in the heat of the summer and the crew worked long and hard through it all. It was a big job on terrain with lots of roots and they completed it quickly and efficiently. It's been through a winter now and still looks great. Love the privacy! Would use their services again. :)
