Business Owner

Hello — I am Mark Williams and I have personally been selling, managing and installing fences for the past 12 years. On my 21st birthday I was in Hagerstown Maryland running a 22 man crew installing prison fences. I then traveled to Pennsylvania where I managed more prison fence installs as well as the Philadelphia Airport perimeter fence. For over 5 years I traveled all over the US installing all types fences for every Government entity imaginable. After returning back home to Austin Texas I was offered a sales dealer and project manager position with Viking Fence. After 7 years I decided to start my company and use my extensive knowledge of the fencing industry to better serve my customers. As Barrier Fence Systems I can offer my clients a wide variety of fencing options as well as the most advantageous pricing in today’s market.

DO NOT HIRE BARRIER FENCE SYSTEMS TO DO YOUR FENCE, UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH LARGE GAPS AT THE BOTTOM, OUR 40 LBS DOG FIT UNDER THE FENCE. THEY DON’T WANT TO FIX IT!
We share a fence with our neighbor, and paid half of our share. Efren, the Barrier Fence employee who we dealt with was aware that we were in the process of building a pool as we had discussed it with him. Furthermore, the entire pool and deck was flagged in our yard, which was impossible to miss. Unfortunately, we were not given a contract from Barrier as our neighbor negotiated with them, all we have from them is an invoice. There are large gaps at the bottom of the fence, some as large as 7″-8″, my 40lbs dog fits under it which defeats the purpose of a fence. Unfortunately, the company is unwilling to adjust the gaps and make them compliant with the city, because we don’t have a contract with them. I believe it is the company responsibility to provide the client with a contract, they sure knew who to charge and send the invoice to when the time came to pay. We have already paid them a significant amount of money, now Barrier wants to charge us extra, since they say Efren did not write our pool project in our neighbors contract. Extra money to fix an issue that could have been avoided in the first place had the fence been built properly. I would strongly advise anyone considering this company to walk in the opposite direction. We ended up using Allied Fence & Security for the rest of our yard, since we were displeased with the craftsmanship of Barrier. You will not be disappointed if you chose Allied, they were professional, on time, and did a spectacular job.

Well it’s been 2 years since I last used and reviewed Barrier Fence and they are still the best. Had 3 broken posts in our «builder special» fence and called Barrier and one other highly Unilocal rated company. Wanted estimates to replace the complete section of fence and one to just replace the 3 posts. The other company stated that they do not do repairs and didn’t want to come out to estimate the full replacement. They wanted an over the phone or web site estimate. Gave them the figures and got what I believed to be an extremely high estimate. Barrier came out the next day and looked over the problem, took measurements, and emailed me an estimate for both fixing and replacing the fence. The full replacement cost was half of the other guys! I talked it over with my neighbor (fence is shared between our properties) and we decided to have it repaired. Called Barrier and they scheduled the job for 2 days later. They came out when they said they’d arrive, fixed the fence in about 4 hours and were on their way. Fence is repaired perfectly. As I said when I started this update that I got a tell ya, they’re still the best in my book.

A delayed review as this work was done in late 2014, but they deserve the positive review. I initially was frustrated with Barrier and the quality of their job. However, I contacted the company and shared our feedback. The owner, Mark, personally came out and took a look. I pointed out where I was disappointed in the quality of their work. He himself agreed that it was disappointing — he take care and pride in his work, but he’s at the mercy of employees and trusts they do the job he employs them to do. He let the previous project manager and crew go.
As opposed to correcting the specific areas, he took down the whole fence and re-​build it with the employees he trusts. INCREDIBLY nice of him to do! Talk about customer service and caring about his quality of work and customers. He said he would re-​use the material so it doesn’t go to waste. The work by the second crew () was perfect. While only a fence, they did an awesome job. It might not be the cheapest, but you get what they commit to and it will meet your expectations.

I needed two types of fencing, wood and iron but had some budget concerns. Paul took the time to make sure he know what I was looking to do and gave me different options for consideration. The work was done in two days and I felt like I got the fence I wanted at a very reasonable price without having to sacrifice the quality. I can’t recommend Paul and his crew enough.

After comparing different fence company’s I decided to try Barrier Fence systems he wasn’t the cheapest but my gut told me to spend the extra dollar and I don’t regret it one bit, excellent quality 10⁄10 level as can be and sturdy for an earthquake, Dean Harbin also was a great help and especially easy to deal with professional. A+++

Dean and his crew did a FANTASTIC job on my new cedar fence. From quote to project to clean up their work was top shelf. The materials used were excellent. I would HIGHLY recommend this company — I got 3 quotes and from first contact, it was clear that Barrier was the most professional and the most detail oriented.

On bidding my fence job, Dean was the most responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. There was no question I was going to use Barrier. And now that my fence is installed, I couldn’t be happier. Even with schedule and weather delays, Dean always kept me in the loop about the timing and expectations (via email, phone, and text). He was upfront with me about my options and let me know about the differences between the materials (Ameristar) that we chose and others on the market. Highly recommended!

Called for an appointment.
Call was returned. We spoke and discussed which day it would be, late morning. I understand non specific times due to other business conflicts so accepted that time.
Went outside to work in the garden all morning — no show.
Later in the day discovered a message on my phone asking to finalize time.
Called back to apologize for not receiving the message.
Never heard back.
Seems like a top Rated place would call back, even if only to explain that they are too busy for the business.

Mark and his team are awesome! They have built two fences for us, one wood and one wrought iron, and they are spectacular!
I could not be more satisfied; they are great communicators and very responsive. Very easy to do business with!

I had a good, but not great experience with Barrier Fence Systems. We needed a fence to be but up at a house we were moving into rather quickly. Paul was extremely attentaive, gave us a quck estimate which was lower than the competition by a significant amount, and worked with us to have the fense installed in a timely manner. The materials were also of good quality. However, to have the top of the fence slope with the terrain, they left some rather large gaps at the bottom of the fence which I then had to address. They also use only a two run system (top and bottom) without having a middle runner. They really should specify that in the bid and contract.
If we ever needed another fence, I’d consider using them again but would significantly tighten up the contract.

Overall great experience. The fence is beautiful and just what was promised. Very fair pricing and they do great job outlining all your options. Only minute beef was took a little longer than expected and had to follow up but very courteous and friendly. Also the only company out of four that actually returned calls and honored appointment time

Barrier Fence replaced an old cedar privacy fence with a double gate along one side of our house about 1 ½ years ago, and it still looks great today! Dean came out to quote and estimate the cost the day after I called to make an appointment, and he talked through the options with me, listened to my concerns about a tree on the fence path and moving the original location of the fence, and even offered to help with another unrelated service at no extra charge (cutting down some old metal laundry lines). They were by far the most cost effective option of the three quotes we received, which had me a little concerned, but they did a fantastic job, did everything they said they would do, including the added free service, and were done super fast, all while being very courteous and respectful. I would absolutely recommend Barrier Fence. It’s not a big outfit, so if they get a little overbooked, you may need to be patient with a response. But my experience was that they were very quick and efficient, and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

I had several companies bid my job but Barrier Fence stood out in that 1) Jason explained my options as well as his recommendations, 2) he allowed me to customize the height and board spacing I wanted (to allow just enough doggie views), 3) the fence was beautifully done, 4) the cost was very reasonable, and 5) the square metal posts will last longer than I will!
Thanks Jason and Barrier Fence Systems!

Unless you enjoy waiting month for a simple fence quote, I wouldn’t recommend Barrier… the barrier for an estimate is too thick.

Dean Harbin at Barrier Fence handles the residential fence projects. I worked with Dean to design the fence for a very small area in East Austin. We wanted a great aesthetic, competitive cost, craftsmanship and personal attention. Jackpot! We got it all.
Barrier Fence cares about doing great work and their reputation. Fences are not always easy, there are neighbors to coordinate with, lots of decisions to make and issues to take into consideration (old fences, gas lines, etc.) Dean was on top of all the aspects. Easy to reach and always going the extra step.
Its a family business that I wish the most continued success for, I would recommend them to anyone.

Ok updated review. The owner called me to apologize after seeing my 1 star review and promised to make it right. He sent his best guy, Effren, out and he was on time and professional and gave me a very competitive bid. We ultimately went with another company but they did the right thing and will certainly look to them in the future.

A+ and so easy to work with. Efren came out and got me a bid within 48 hours and my back fence was replaced within a couple days. Very fast, very professional, the guys were terrific and communication was excellent and thorough.
Efren was running 5 minutes late in traffic, and called, that kind of consideration is much appreciated.
In addition to the great service, their bid was significantly less than another I received, and they did a great job salvaging the good wood from my damaged fence.
Can’t recommend highly enough.

Sad to report that I called for a quote over a week ago and haven’t heard from anyone since. I clearly explained that my fence was leaning and my insurance wanted me to have a professional opinion a.s.a.p. I was told that someone would get back to me to set up a visit. Moving on…

You would never think it would be so hard to get a fence replaced in Austin. I spent the last few months researching and getting quotes from a variety of companies to replace my rear fence. All were more expensive than I thought but none were in any rush to come out and do it.
It was a simple job, 60 feet of fence with no gates, but almost none of the 6 companies I called, were even willing to come out and give me a quote or could commit to a start date for at least a month from the date I called. I couldn’t believe how hard this was just to get a fence put up.
Barrier Fence was the one exception. They quickly responded to my request and found a way to fit me into their schedule and meet my deadline. I was skeptical given there were some bad reviews on here, but they went above and beyond to make everything right, despite some complications on my end.
The initial project had a few issues, being that my HOA were extra picky about things, their rules didn’t specify. So even though Barrier had already set wooden posts they helped me swap them with metal ones and kept the price to upgrade reasonable.
A few weeks later the crap really hit the rafters, when I found out another hidden HOA rule… they wanted my fence facing the opposite direction. My wife and I nearly had a heart attack… they even threatened to sue and fine us. I called Mark, the owner and within a few days had a crew back out to flip the whole thing around plank by plank.
I honestly can’t say enough good things about these guys and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They stick to their promises, do great work and provided an amazing level of customer service, given the issues I threw at them.
One tip for anyone putting in a fence… be sure to get prior approval and extremely specific info before starting a fence project. The devil is in the details.

We had Mark’s crew back out to replace our side fences and gate after high winds blew part of the old original fence down. We decided to have him add a lattice screen in front of our air conditioners while he was out. Their lattice is completely custom made of really high quality materials. It’s a lot thicker and nicer than anything you’d find at a home improvement store, but it’s still nicely affordable.
It’s worth mentioning that my husband and I were in the process of digging some post holes to hang a hammock while we had this work done. We were having a lot of trouble due to the amount of limestone in our backyard. The crew jackhammered out the limestone for us and set our posts as a bonus. Above and beyond service.
I think the number of positive reviews has increased their workload significantly lately. It required a little bit of patience in scheduling. That said, it was hands down worth the wait. They do top notch work.
