A Cut Above Fence & Deck

I contacted Chris to put in a small fence to act as a blind in front of my Central Air compressor (city code requires it). It was amazing! he came out and gave me a quote both for the blind alone, as well as for fencing in the front yard. He was very nice and the pricing seemed quite reasonable.
I ended up just getting the blind put in because I’m having some other yard work done in near future, but I will have him come back to put in the front yard fence soon!
The quality of the work is incredible. It looks so great! He called me the day after to talk about aftercare (mostly just «leave it alone for a few weeks» haha) and to make sure I was happy.
The job was scheduled quickly, and I believe it took only a few hours; I didn’t even have to be there! 5 stars, can’t wait to have Chris come back and do more fencing for me.

Great work and some real solid suggestions. 2^nd time we have used them.
Both times they did very nice work and did it quickly.
We will call them again when the other back yard neighbor is ready to replace fence.
Very likable crew ans office mgr. is very easy to talk too.

Chris put in a fence for me same day. I needed something to keep my dogs in my backyard. The fence is solid and he gave me a great deal. I would highly recommend him for anyone that needs a new fence.

I had Chris @ A Cut Above build a fence for me. His price wasn’t the cheapest, but I was swayed by a couple of things:
1) He is involved in the construction personally and so he can ensure that the work is completed to his quality levels
2) His construction technique was better than the other guys. He uses screws instead of nails. In addition, he mounds the concrete where the posts go, which prevents water from rotting out the post over time. He also doesn’t use a U channel for the bottom rail, but a different technique that doesn’t allow rain water to be held at the bottom of the channel and contribute to wood rot.
The fence came out great. He showed up when he said he would, the work was completed in the estimated time, and at the estimated cost. I already decided to do another section of fence and will be going back to him to complete that.

«A Cut Above» says it all. Chris the owner and his crew built me a high quality fence, in as many days as I was originally quoted. I highly recommend ACA for a fence that’s built with quality in mind! I will definitely be requesting a quote from ACA for any future fences or decks.

These guys do fantastic fence work. During the December 2014 high wind storm a 40′ section of my fence came down. I did the usual research and settled on A Cut Above Fence and Deck based upon some past reviews and being a member of the BBB.
Chris was very professional, on time and on budget. Surprisingly, they were very quiet during the whole installation process. They are very thorough, detailed and install fences in the correct way. I will use Chris again in the near future to replace my gate and to re-​do the fence line down the other side of my house. I would highly recommend A Cut Above!

When I called this company, Tessie was the person to answer my questions. She was very customer oriented and respectful answering my questions.
Chris the contractor came and gave estimate and he was also nice and professional. The price was a little high but when he explained why it is as such, I decided to go with it. He came on time and finished replacing 20 feet fence with new overlapped style which I really liked. The new finished fence looked very good.
Chris even cleaned the working and surrounding area.
I am really satisfied with his work and this company.

Chris and his team are fantastic. They are timely, efficient and the price is right for the quality and service rendered.
I would not hesitate to use their services again.

We had Chris put in a fence for us about a month ago. He did a great job. We had some design issues and he gave us great ideas and, in the end, built us an amazing fence. I was very impressed with his work ethic and attention to detail. He was on time or early everyday and finished in the time he said he would. It was a fence that had a siginificant amount of detail to it and it turned out great. We could not be happier with our new fence.

I had A Cut Above do my back fence about 6 months ago. The owner did the work with one other long term employee (an Islander type guy). They were on time, didn’t make my wife feel uncomfortable, did a WONDERFUL job and were very nice. As an engineer, I was pretty involved with the job and I was very impressed. He must have have a friend at the lumber yard because my 65 foot fence has ZERO knots in the wood.
At any rate, I will have them come back for my side fences someday.

They came up with the best design for the fence an delivered on time. They were prompt and cleaned up afterward. The best thing about them is DECK SCREWS not nails

Needed a wood fence replaced at my son’s home in San Jose. Left a voice mail on 4÷7÷14 at 2:19pm and as of 4÷22÷14 have not had a response. This is the second fence company that did not return phone calls.
Subsequently a 3^rd did not respond to a voice mail.
The owner Chris has been extremely responsive to what was apparently an error, and has offered to do whatever is necessary to correct the mistake. Based on his high Unilocal ratings, and in light of his efforts, I can only assume that he runs a 5 star company, as most do not care enough to follow up with their customer’s negative comments. Based on this and the fact that I moved on to another vendor and did not use them for the actual fence replacement, I am unable to provide a 5 star review. I have therefore upgraded my review from 1 to 4 stars. If you are in need of a top rated fence company I would not feel bad suggesting this company.

I will definitely use A Cut Above again! I knew that I wanted to hire a good local business with genuine people. I am so glad I ran into A Cut Above’s Unilocal review. I set up an estimate meeting. I wanted to put up two gates. This was all that I could afford. I felt listened to and understood. I didn’t feel pressured to change out the rest of my fences, or finish my whole project right away. I even got some really good ideas from Chris during the whole process. A Cut Above did a beautiful job, and even helped me patch a couple of holes in my fence, so my little Yorkie could not escape my backyard. I sincerely can’t wait to get them out here again to finish the rest of my project!

I had a fallen fence with two dogs, I called 8 companies in a panic trying to get estimates at 8:00 pm, I received a call from a cut above first thing the following morning. The office was able to get Chris out the next day because they knew I had dogs.
Chris and the team were great, on time, neat and completed the job sooner than estimated. They left the work area clean during the project. Chris was easy to work with, I would definitely use them for future projects.

Previous to this job, I had Sierra Lumber do a major fence install. They did a good job, but broke my sprinkler system (which they said they would repair, but never did). I contacted A cut above and Chris came out to give me a quote. Very reasonable prices and will to work with a budget.
On the day of the actual job, Chris and one other worker and completed the job in a day! The quality of work was terrific. He uses screws instead of nails, so if a board becomes damaged its very easy to replace. Overall the fence looks better than the one I had Sierra Lumber and I wish i went with A Cut Above for my last project.
I definately recommend this company and will be untilizing them in the future.

Chris and his team put up new fence in our yard in Sunnyvale. They did a great job, the new fence looks so nice! We were very much satisfied with the prices and the quality of the work.
My two year old daughter loved to check the holes for the post if they’re deep enough and as she fit (with our help of course) in all of them, I guess they were. :)

After some strong winds, we had a fence blown down. As we have a pool it was important to get this fixed quickly. Chris and his team came out and not only fixed the downed section, but also repaired a couple of other sections for me as well. We were so pleased with his initial work, we had them come back and put in a new deck in our backyard. We could not have been more pleased with the quality of work. Estimated of both time and cost were right on schedule. I wish more contractors could be as reliable and professional as these guys! We will have them back for future work.

Excellent service! Had them put in a fence with lattice in our backyard. They were on time, friendly, didn’t make a mess, and got the job done on time.
We will totally hire them again to put up other fences in our yard.
I recommend them to everyone and commend them on their excellent and friendly service!

Chris and his crew just finished a back fence for me. Very good work, very fast, clean, consciencious, friendly. Excellent work. Check them out!

I just used A Cut Above for the second time. Chris is a perfectionist and he and his crew always do an outstanding job. It is my pleasure to recommend this company!
Cheers,
