Backyard Fence, Gate And Garden Bed Retaining Wall Build

I recently called Cole at Friendly Fence to estimate replacing our old, falling down backyard fence. We chose a fence style from his website ( he's got lots of pictures of designs/styles to choose from ) and Cole built us a beautiful Fence and Gate - it looks Fantastic! 
We're very happy we chose Cole and impressed with his quality, workmanship and his friendly personality. He left a neat and tidy work space. I would highly recommend him.

Amazing Company

We had a partially fenced yard and needed to have it completely fenced in for our new energetic puppy. We contacted Cole and he came out that very day to meet us and see what we wanted to have done. We were very impressed right off the bat, for his professionalism and how quickly (that same day) he got back to us with a quote.

We love our new fence and the custom gate we choose is a real beauty that stands out like a statement piece. Cole is conscientious, reliable, efficient, extremely neat and organized and no mess is ever left behind. He doesn’t just buy prefab fencing – he literally builds each and every part from scratch which was very impressive. Cole really listened to what we asked for and he delivered an awesome product. I wish we would of known him when we put in the original fence years ago because the quality of his work is really outstanding. I highly recommend “Friendly Fence” ~ take a look at his website to see the awesome projects he has done.

New Perimeter Fence

Cole came to my townhouse to give me a free estimate on the perimeter fence that was rotting and badly in need of replacement. We agreed on a price and the work started promptly two days later. Cole did an excellent job, and on time. He’s very pleasant to deal with and fair in his pricing. My neighbor was so impressed that he hired him to do his fence. I can recommend him with no hesitation.

Fence Repair

I was looking for someone repairing a couple of panels of my fence and two gates to my backyard. I called a couple of companies and was told that they didn't do small repairs but only whole fences. I found Cole through his website. He came by the next day to have a look around and give me an estimate. He was easy to talk to and answered all my questions. He built all the panels from scratch since he couldn't use any pre-made ones. I'm very happy with the work he has done. 
He was very open to
consider other jobs in my backyard and I will contact him again once I'm ready to move forward with these projects. I would recommend him to anybody who needs work done in their yards!

Judith, North Vancouver

 Company Response

Hi Judith Thank you for the wonderful review! 
It was a pleasure to do that project for you. T'was a snowy few days, but good for me. Of course I will never offer prefabricated panels but only custom build everything. I look forward to building your shed when you are ready. Cheers!

Gate & Fence Repair

Fences & Gates review in Burnaby

I needed a gate built at the side of my house, too 'small' of a project for most, but Cole was one of the very few who was willing to take this on. His website contained many samples of custom made gates and fences so it was easy to pick out something specific that I wanted, which was very convenient and helpful.

Throughout my communication with Cole, I could tell that he really knew the trade. But more impressive to me was his professional and courteous attitude, prompt follow-up, integrity , and attention to detail. He was very clear, detailed, prompt and patient in answering my questions, explaining things, providing info and the estimate, and understanding and accommodating my requests. Not only did he just complete what was agreed to, he went beyond and helped with a couple of issues in our yard that came up. I am very pleased with the overall quality and results of his work and skills, but especially appreciative of the care, attitude and behaviour he displayed from the very beginning to the end. Communicating and dealing with Cole was in every way smooth, pleasant, as advertised and backed up with action.

Beautiful Gate Beyond My Expectations

Fences & Gates review in North Vancouver

I had a very good experience with Cole (AKA Friendly Carpenter), he made an astoundingly beautiful gate for us. Although it is interior to our small commercial building so it doesn't get the visibility of an outdoor installation but I never fail to get complements on it from anyone who comes into the building. I highly recommend Cole, he really delivers and exceeded my expectation which was already high. He is very thoughtful in his approach to the solving the problem and has some real skills skills that show in his end product. I can't say enough good things about his work.

Fix Fence Post

Fences & Gates review in Burnaby

6 months ago

Cole is super nice and very easy to communicate with. He's also punctual and the quality of work done is excellent! The windstorm caused our fence post to tilt, and we worry that it will collapse on to our neighbour's property. Unlike other companies that declined the work because it's "too small", Cole agreed to do the work and fixed it quite quickly. We will definitely contact him again for future carpentry work.

Competitive Price And Considerate Service

In fall 2018, I asked Friendly Fence to come quote a back stair replacement (rotten stringer) and to take a look at my back fence and gate. While his portfolio includes some beautiful work, Cole respected that I was on a budget for this project. He proposed a plan that optimized for function and cost, rebuilt the steps for a competitive price, and made adjustments to my back gate to get it working well enough that I could postpone the fence rebuild until my bank account was ready.

What stood out was that Cole hit a great balance between friendly and professional throughout the job, and also went above and beyond by helping me out with an assortment of thankless tasks related to the work that weren't directly required and definitely weren't much fun. Overall, a good guy doing good work for a fair price.

Great Fence

Fences & Gates review in North Vancouver

Cole put in a fence for me in August of 2006 and after 12 years its still in perfect condition. All I have done is kept the wood stained to protect it. Cole uses good material and his craftsmanship and work ethic are 10 out of 10 ! So I thought people should know he builds for durability. Very pleased !!

Cole was friendly, reliable and his workmanship was impeccable. He completed the project when the previous carpenter became ill and was unable to finish . He then took all the previous worker's tools he left behind and returned them to his home. It was an extremely kind gesture and much appreciated by the carpenter's wife and myself. Thank you Cole.

Three Custom Wooden Gates

Fences & Gates review in North Vancouver

I needed three custom wooden gates, one a double gate and two single gates. Each one was unique and had to have a different design. Even though this was a small job, Cole came up with great designs and solutions for the installations. The price was very reasonable for the great work he did and the time spent on installing the gates. I would highly recommend his work, especially when compared to larger companies with less incentive to create custom solutions.

Jacques VL in North Vancouver

Dear Jacques Thank you for the review on Home Stars. It was a great pleasure creating those gates for you. Of course let me know if any of the gates require adjustment, or if you need anything further.

Three Custum Wooden Gates

Fences & Gates review in North Vancouver

Over 1 year ago

I needed three custom wooden gates, one a double gate and two single gates. Each one was unique and had to have a different design. Even though this was a small job, Cole came up with great designs and solutions for the installations. The price was very reasonable for the great work he did and the time spent on installing the gates. I would highly recommend his work, especially when compared to larger companies with less incentive to create custom solutions.

Dear Jacques Thank you for the review on Home Stars. It was a great pleasure creating those gates for you. Of course let me know if any of the gates require adjustment, or if you need anything further.

Fence

Fences & Gates review in North Vancouver

Cole designed and built a cat containment fence for my back garden. We had tried a number of things prior to Cole looking at it. None worked.

Cole worked a design that worked like a charm. Excellent craftsmanship and a reasonable price

Definitely recommend his work

Outdoor Stairs

Railings review in Bowen Island

I needed to replace a set of heavy cedar stairs going up to the coach house over my garage. The friendly carpenter did a great job in building the new stairs and integrating them with the existing lattice work.

Fence Building / Carpentry

Fences & Gates review in North Vancouver

Over 3 years ago

Cole, the "Friendly Carpenter" of the "Friendly Fence Company" built our fence. We're very pleased with final product, his craftsmanship, and can attest that he is indeed friendly. Cole went above and beyond expectation to create a high quality fence that was not of the cookie cutter variety. I highly recommend him.
