Who are we?

We are The Other Fence Company. Also with an older blog at Fence Blog. We've been in business since 1997 making primarily high end wooden fences in Boulder Colorado, but we also do high quality moderately priced wooden and chain link as well as split rail, ranch rail, and all types of game, horse, and dog fencing.

Our workers are not only covered by liability insurance but also workers comp. If someone is hurt on the job they aren't going to be coming after your home owners insurance. Speaking of which we've never been sued and never sued anyone. We've never not been paid for a fence. Believe it or not fencing is often a repeat business. People move. We've built fences for people in multiple houses.

The best way to contact me is through our home phone (8 AM to 8 PM only please, we sleep early) 303-828-1455 or via email yourfence@gmail.com or my cell phone 303-525-0384, but please don't leave messages on my cell phone, I hardly understand how to use the thing and have an even harder time hearing it.

So your fence blew down and you want it fixed

First things first.

Do you want it fixed today, like right this minute? If so call me on my cell and my home phone and send an email. It's going to cost, not as much as calling the plumber in the middle of the night but about what it would cost you to stop everything you're doing in your life and go over and work on something.

For $100 I can go over as soon as I get this message and give you a written estimate of repairs.

For $100 plus $50 an hour plus whatever material costs are I can go over stabilize the fence such that it won't fall down any more, put up a steel temporary fence made of 2x4 welded wire and steel T-Posts such that the dog will stay in and people won't be traipsing over your back yard or lawn.

Can you wait a few hours or a couple of days? If so we can do quite a bit for free. We can go over and look at your fence and give you a written estimate, usually in the first couple of days, for sure within the week. If at that time you like our price and are willing to sign a contract and put down a small deposit we can for free put up a steel temporary fence with steel T-posts and secure the remaining fence against further damage.

Why a blog about fence repair in Boulder

Well for one to get business from web searches using those exact words. I have a web site that I can't edit and a fence blog that gets a minimal amount of traffic, and a yellow page add. Yellow pages are about the last place I look for anything these days. I'm hoping Google will give a boost.
