West Alabama Fence

West Alabama Fence takes on fencing jobs around the Tuscaloosa area as a family owned outfit run by Mike Boyd. They handle both residential and commercial work with materials and builds for chain link, wood privacy styles, ornamental iron, gates, handrails, cattle and ranch enclosures plus pool setups. The business focuses on supply of solid materials paired with steady workmanship across Northport and nearby Alabama spots. Projects range from basic property lines to setups that add security or match existing landscaping.

Reviewers describe jobs like swapping out old chain link dog pens for new wood fences with multiple gates, putting up secure enclosures that keep pets from digging out or climbing over, running nearly 200 feet of fencing with attention to slopes through waterfall designs, and adding porch railings. Mike gets credit for treating each install like it was for his own place without shortcuts, while Mark and his crew handle the builds and Shay covers estimates. Outcomes include fences that look solid, function well on uneven ground, and finish ahead of tight deadlines with dogs able to use the yard right away.

They show up on time, check in during the work to confirm the homeowner stays happy, and clean the site each day before leaving. Jobs often wrap in two or three days even when old fence removal is part of it, with crews calling ahead on start dates and following through on quoted prices. Service stays in the Tuscaloosa and Northport zones with a focus on quick response when timelines get short. Communication stays direct from the owner through the field teams.

Most feedback highlights sturdy results, polite crews and reliable timing though a couple notes mention scheduling slips or rough talk from the owner. Google rating sits at 4.4 from 66 reviews. DIRT Score 3.9 from reviews on Finds.

“Mike came out and treated the job like he was installing it for his own self. No corners cut no matter how much more complex it’d make the job doing it the right way! Made sure my babies (dogs) had a nice secure area to run around in and insured they wouldn’t be able to dig or climb over the fence. He and his guys where the nicest and safest workers I’ve ever been around there are plenty of companies out there hiring whoever will work and not care about who they are as people but that is not the case with mike at west Alabama fence he truly cares about the people that represent him and make sure they are top tier human beings which is rare these days. He worked with our need for it to be done in a very short timeframe with ease and never once complained about it. You will not find a better crew of guys to do any type of standard and high level fence work. They aren’t the cheapest in town but their work and expertise make the work exceptional and his 30+ years of experience in the industry is unmatched by any other people we had out to give quotes. They are worth every penny without a doubt!”

“The guys at West Alabama Fence do amazing work! They took out an old chain link dog pen, and installed a beautiful wooden cap and trim fence with an 8 foot gate and a 4 foot gate in 3 days. My original fence plan/design would not work with the slope of my backyard, and Mike suggested a new fence design which looks and functions great! Multiple neighbors stopped by while it was being built, complimented on how pretty it is, and asked what company installed it. The guys were very polite, professional, always on time, and cleaned up before leaving everyday! They checked in multiple times throughout the process to ensure that I was happy with the fence being built. The end result is a beautiful backyard fence that we will enjoy for many years and will keep the pups safe. This is the second fence I've had installed by West AL Fence, and I will always choose them in the future- they are the best Fencing company in not only West Alabama, but ALL of Alabama!”

“Mark's crew did a fantastic job on our porch railing! Great company, great crew, would use them again! We highly recommend them!”

“Mark and his crew from West AL Fence did top-quality work on almost 200 feet of fencing. Mark is detail-oriented, foresees issues, and communicates well. Plus, Shay, who did the estimate, is easy to talk to, follows-up, and understands what customers want. Everybody I dealt with from WAF was professional and courteous.”

“Absolutely delighted with the service and results from West Alabama Fence! They were understanding, and incredibly accommodating, especially given our tight timeline. We were in a bit of a bind, needing a fence installed on very short notice. West Alabama Fence not only promised to meet our deadline but actually surpassed our expectations by completing the project ahead of schedule. The quality of their work is simply outstanding. The fence looks fantastic, enhancing the overall aesthetics of our property while providing the security and privacy we desired. Our dogs love their new back yard. I cannot recommend West Alabama Fence highly enough. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and customer-focused fence company, look no further. I will always call Mike whenever I need any fence projects done.”

“I had West Alabama Fence come and install a privacy fence at my house. I was so happy with how great it came out. The installation went quick and with no problems at all.

“Shay called yesterday toake sure Monday was a good day to start my fencing. Marks crew showed up and showed out. I received a call from the crew to see if anyone was home. I called my husband, he went out and the guys started working. Not knowing what a fence intels, I was expecting 2 or 3 days from start to finish. NOPE! I pull up from work and the guys are cleaning up. The whole yard is dog ready. So extremely happy with the results and so impressed with the work and time. Thank you guys! You made 3 dogs happy but most of all, you made their humans even happier....”

“After a week delay because Lowes didn't deliver supplies on time my fence was installed in 2 days. The guys took out my old fence, and installed the new one. They cleaned up after themselves very well. I'm happy behind my new fence.”

“I have employed West Alabama Fence (WAF) on two separate occasions and have always been impressed with the work the crews have performed. Most recently, WAF installed an eight foot fence on the far back side of my yard. Mark and his crew did what is called a waterfall fence so that the eight foot fence flows into my six foot fence that WAF had installed a few years ago. Had Mark not suggested a waterfall fence, I would never have known how attractive it is. Thanks Mark! WAF stays really busy because Mr. Boyd operates an A++ company.”

“West AL fence just completed a job for me and I couldn’t be more pleased. They removed a 20 year old wood privacy fence and replaced it with new chain link fencing. About 375 feet with a cantilevered gate completed in 2 days. This is a quality company I will happily recommend.”
