“Do not use! They never finish the job despite promises to come back and finish, the owner Dusty also charges more without notifying you of the actual price before starting the work, we have been left without a response for months after following up with Dusty several times. And it looks like we are not the only ones he did this to, based on all the other reviews. Do not recommend.”

“Dusty did great work! He was very speedy, particular, and professional. There was a section of our fence that was a little different than the rest and he problem solved to make it look seamless. It’s a quality job that is extremely well-priced. We highly recommend him to anyone needing fence work.”

“It's was ok until Dusty Smith realized he didn't install the 48 inch wide gates that I paid for. My push mower barely fits through the gates Dusty installed, see included measurement pic and invoice. After making him aware of it through phone calls and texts, he promised make it right. Here we are a couple years later, still within the warranty period and nothing from Dusty Smith. Went from a five star to a 1. Fence, ok. BUT... trying to get them to correct their admitted mistakes from over 2 years ago......good luck. We paid for two 4 foot gates to be installed. The two gates they installed measure 28 and 29 inches. Called and talked to Dusty several times, exchanged texts and all with the promise of correcting it. I have even told Dusty if he makes the alley gate correct, I'll be ok with it. Still nothing. If you like rolling the dice with your hard earned money, this is the company to do business with. Dusty, you can still make it right. Edit: 4-4-25 - Hello Dusty Smith, reaching out to see when would be a good time to discuss installing the quoted & paid for, 4 foot gates. Edit:4-13-25 - Hello Dusty Smith, you've got my phone number & email. I'm still giving you y”

“WARNING! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Horrible service we paid for our brand new fence and have warranty on workmanship. owner has not yet responded to my husband or myself. I have sent pictures and asked when he would come back to fix horribly welded gates and one gate was the wrong size that was repaired by adding a longer metal! 🤦🏽‍♀️ an employee cut into one of our buildings that’s supposed to be taken care of as well. He has replied a few times saying he would come out to fix when he has a date available but then continues to ignore messages when I follow up sent asking when he will be out to fix the issues.”

“It has now been 5 months since I posted the review below. The owner finally contacted me and was not happy with the review I left. Now he is refusing to honor the 5-year warranty and will not fix any of the problems (gates won't close, one gate made too small to get my mower through, very light staining, wood splitting and boards are breaking). Go somewhere else and get a better quality fence. CON: Not impressed overall. We spent $18K for our fence. I had to repeatedly have to ask the two workers (both who have since been fired) to fix something. Broken board were put on, pickets were not properly nailed down, gates were made too narrow, etc. Just not happy for the money spent. I have sent several text messages and phone messages to the owner (Dusty Smith) and he will not return any of my calls or fix the bad fencing. I had to repair several of our gates so they worked properly. Now I'll need to replace all the bad wood. PRO: I did receive a 10% military discount, which was nice, but I'd rather have a better fence. From what I was told by someone, two new guys were hired, after the last two knuckleheads were fired, and these two do a great job. It would be nice if they were ”

“The owner (Dusty) sent two guys out to my house at 5:45 in the evening on the same day i called,,,, & they dug & set 5 wooden posts in an hour & 20 minutes in a perfectly straight line with no string,,, just by sight & perfectly level side to side... Wow !!! Great group of guys at Amarillo Fencing & Stain. I highly recommend this company...”

“I put up my own fence in mid 1980's. It lasted 30 years. Never had a post break. I hired Dusty in 2018 to tear down and put up new. I could never get him to come back and stain it like he said he would. He did come back to fix one loose post, but there were more loose ones. At this time the south and west side of my fence is about to come crashing down. One way to compare quality work is check all your neighbors fences. They all held up fine during these wind storms. I would stay away from this guy!”

“Dusty offered great insight to educate us about our fence options to make the best decision for our needs. He was thorough and worked with great craftsmanship. His price was very reasonable. He did the work quickly without any additional cost surprises. He was professional and friendly. We would highly recommend his services!”

“Dusty, Sandro & Ray did an awesome job on our new fence, and had the best price! Thank you guys! Super happy :)”

“Dusty was extremely professional and easy to communicate with. He created multiple quotes to insure I was getting exactly what I wanted. The quotes were ready within 24 hours of calling. He worked around my schedule and was very accommodating. The fence looks amazing and he was honest and upfront about any delays and recommendations that occurred. He was prompt and kept his word. The warranty and the stain is a huge plus as well. I would highly recommend.”

“Dusty was helpful, informative and asked many relevant questions to be sure that we got exactly what we wanted. He did a great job for a good price. I will certainly recommend him to anyone who asks me about fence work. He also happens to be the only fence company out of seven that I contacted in Amarillo and Canyon who showed up when he said, provided a professional bid as he promised and showed up both days, on time, to complete the work. We are more than satisfied.”

“Dusty installed a fence for our dog run. He did an excellent job! He was easy to work with, professional, and did quality work at a great price. We would definitely use him again!”

“Dusty was great - he was very quick to respond with quotes and getting our job done right away after a terrible windstorm. The fence looks great! I won't hesitate to call him again or recommend him. Update: Dusty helped us again today with fence repair at a new house. He did the job the same day I called for which I am so thankful since our fence was in a bad way from the wind. I could not be happier with his work or kindness and will continue to recommend him and use his services any time they are needed.”

“Everything about the process, from the initial quote through the final walk through of the finished project, was simple and easy! Dusty was very receptive to all our questions and concerns, and the finished fence was so much better than we even expected! The look is so professional, and the team was super through, they paid attention to every detail. They even made sure that everything the connected on our neighbor’s sides was taken care of perfectly. I especially really loved the gates.”

“Dusty stained my fence, columns, and patio enclosure walls. All were cedar. He was very professional and did excellent staining. He kept almost everything clean while he stained and clean up any mess that he wasn't able to contain. He got me a quote quickly and answered all my texts and phone calls. He got me on his schedule and got the job done as soon as it finally quit raining. I am very happy with the results and will recommend him to any friends and family needing fencing services.”

“After getting totally boned by another fence company in Amarillo (starts with all, ends with state), I decided to call Amarillo Fencing and Stain. Dusty was kind and knowledgeable and they did a great job at a very reasonable price. He was able to show me exactly why my old fence had failed after just 2 years and how it should have been done in the first place. Highly recommended!”

“These guys are the best in town: quick, efficient, affordable, hard workers, honest. They built us the most stunning fence and also helped us with a random gas line issue we were having! Cannot recommend them enough—”

“Dusty was awesome! True perfectionist. He burned our fence and it looks amazing! Very punctual and trustworthy! Will never all anyone else! He is awesome!”

“This company was quick, clean, and professional. They came out and got our fence put up in a timely manner and did not leave a mess behind. They were extremely professional and were extremely cost efficient . The fence is extremely sturdy and well made. I would definitely recommend them!”

“Dusty was prompt and responsive, and did a great job on my fence. He also gave good advice on keeping it nice in the future, I will be using him again.”
