Absolutely amazing service and customer communication. 10/10 would recommend this company for your needs! Our gate was malfunctioning and Jim went right over and helped us out.

Worst fence ever. There is a gap that ranges from 6 inches to 9 inches between the ground and my yard. My dog had been caught under the fence requiring an emergency vet appointment. Do not recommend.

I highly recommend Cowlitz fence co. They responded immediately if not very shortly after, they are kind and upfront. Best pricing I could find as well! The installers were professional and quick! Looove my new fence!
