He is a thief! He took my money and gave excuses why he couldn’t start the job and then why he couldn’t get me my large deposit back. DO NOT TRUST HIM OR GIVE HIM ANY MONEY

D. fixed my fence about a year ago. he recommended repairing a section of the wooden fence thus saving me $$$$.
He did excellent work, saved me money, & finished the job quickly & cleaned up.
U highly recommend him.

I hired Dennis to build my deck after seeing what a sweet job he did building my neighbor’s 6-​foot cedar fence. When I went next door for the phone number, my neighbor told me something everyone who hires Dennis should know:
There’s good, there’s cheap and there’s fast: pick two.
Actually I am sure you don’t really get to pick two with Dennis, because he only does good work — great work — and he does it at a very competitive price. His estimate was about 30 percent cheaper than the one other estimate I got to build my second-​floor rear cedar deck.
But Dennis isn’t the kind of contractor who is going to show up every day for your job until it’s done — he might, just don’t expect it. He’s a one-​man operation who does all his own bidding, sorts through and chooses his own lumber from the store, etc. If someone calls him for an estimate, he might swing by there and do that before or instead of coming to your job site.
In a nutshell: if you want high-​quality work done with integrity at a good price and aren’t in an all-​fired hurry I recommend him wholeheartedly. If you want great wood work and have more time than money, he’s your man for fences and decks.

Dennis put my fence up 2 years ago for a great price. He may seem a little out there, but hes a good hard working guy with great prices. He Had the fence up in 2 days, and he did a great job. He came back a year later to do my gate, and he did it for a steal. This year we are having him build us a deck. I look forward to working with Denny for many years to come. He has a great portfolio and does great work!

Don’t trust Dennis he is unreliable! We hired Dennis initially to construct a new gate and fence. He did a good job at a fair price. Unfortunately the gate to this fence was damaged and we called Dennis to fix it since he did the initial work. We paid him upfront and trusted he would do good work like he did initially. His new gate is completely out of alignment and does not open properly. Dennis was too lazy to support the new gate and when the concrete for the new post dried it was out of alignment. He acknowledged the post may not settle correctly and would come back repair it. Dennis has our money and we have not seen him for several months. I’ve talked to him at least 10 times and he is always coming this weekend yet never shows or calls. He has our money so it’s on to the next project. After thinking this guy was aboveboard I learned he is completely unreliable. What really upsets me is Dennis could have easily avoided this problem by simply supporting the gate as the post settled, but he was too lazy. He took our money, won’t fix his problem and now we paid someone else to fix his mess. Don’t hire this guy and if you get tempted don’t pay him upfront because you won’t see him afterwards.

If I could give him zero stars I would. DO NOT TRUST Dennis Frey Fencing. We gave Dennis a deposit of $ 2K and 10 weeks later we don’t have a fence or our deposit back. We have contacted the Attorney Generals office and will proceed with legal action. Check BBB… he has an F rating. Do yourself a favor and look at all the reviews (3 other filtered reviews where Dennis took people’s money are not showing when you pull up this company) Cannot figure out how he has this 4 star rating. If you still really want to use him, go with him to buy the wood and store it at your home so he doesn’t spend your money on something else.

DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN! He took a downpayment of $ 1500.00 and never showed up to work. He made many excuses as to why he did not show each time I called. He has now stopped answering his phone. Do NOT trust him! Look at all reviews on Unilocal-​he has done this to several people. He has a failing grade with the Better Business Bureau. He has a rating of «F» and terrible reports for not completing jobs. Call the BBB at 312−832−0500 to hear about his failing scores. He is a conman! DO NOT TRUST HIM!!! I have several agencies working to stop this man from taking other people’s money. Save yourself a lot of headaches and keep your hard earned money

All I can say is I couldn’t be happier with the fence Dennis built! His attention to detail and perfectionist approach to his craft is hard to find these days. Dennis is a top notch fence builder no doubt. If you hire him though, be ready for delays. His strong suit is definitely not scheduling or time management. He’s a one man operation and that’s how he wants to keep it. He’s very serious about the quality of work he provides and doesn’t want it compromised by an employee.
Like other posters mentioned, there was a significant amount of unforeseen concrete that had to be jack hammered and removed from the ground. This added a few extra days to the process. This however did not change the quoted price.
A contractor friend of mine was very impressed by his work, said it was the best he’d ever seen. Not to mention his jaw dropped when I told him how much I paid. He thought it was at least $ 2,000 more.
If you are patient and care more about the finished product and quality of workmanship then Dennis is your man. If you’re one of those «I need it done yesterday» types then you should approach a larger outfit that hires out subcontractors.
Oh and be warned. There is another fence contractor in the Chicago area listed on Unilocal.He has several 5 star reviews. If you check the reviewers other reviews you’ll see that they all have reviewed the exact same businesses giving them all 5 stars. Obviously these are «planted» reviews.

Denny did an excellent job on my fencing project and at a great price. I had a lot of roots on one particular side of my house that he had to dig through/​around for the posts, but he managed to plow right through. He even fixed a rickety old gate I had that was not even in the project plan.
The job took a bit longer than we wanted, but that did not take anything away from the excellent craftsmanship in his work. I’d certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality handcrafted fence.

Unilocal to the rescue… I was ready to have a contractor do a removal of an old (25 years) fence and replace it wit a new one. Then I decided to look at Unilocal for comparisons.
I found this guy on Unilocal and I am glad I did. I saved almost half. He has many samples of his work (Photos) and uses #1 Cedar, it did take a while for him to work me into his schedule because he is a very busy guy.
The end result is a Beautiful Fence with an Arbor that I decided to add after he started the job.
The digging of post holes took a lot longer than he thought it would, the ground was very dry and a concrete pad was under the mulch, but that didn’t change the price.
Great job!!!
