I called Acme to give me a quote on a fence we needed for our non-for-profit school. The salesman Ben, was very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. The experience was pleasant and the quote came in competitive. We are still waiting for a grant to support the job, but when it comes we will definitely go with Acme!

Acme gave a good estimate & completed the property line fence. I had other projects that required them to move up the timeline & they were able to accomplish the job quickly.

Awesome from start to finish. Affordable and looks great. Salesman was helpful, polite and knowledgeable. Installation fellows were respectful, punctual, and finished job sooner than I expected. Everyone at Acme Fence & Lumber was professional but still friendly.

The crews installing my 6’ white vinyl fence were very professional and very good. Fence is straight and at the exact consistent grade that I wanted. If they only hauled and disposed of all the dirt from the post holes, I’d have found a way to give them another star. Everyone that has seen the new fence has commented on how great it looks.
