It’s fabulous — thank you so much for a wonderful job and your outstanding communication throughout.
You’ve been the best tradie I’ve ever worked with, and I’ll absolutely be recommending you to anyone I know who needs fencing.
(My neighbour, whose property adjoins the corner of the new fence, will be after a quote too!)
Please send through the invoice when you can so I can arrange payment.
Hope you get a chance to stay warm out there today — and again, thank you for a wonderful job.

Aaron was professional and timely and completed the work in the contract as agreed. The job was completed in a day as promised and the site was left tidy and clean. The workmanship and overall effect he has created is excellent and we have no hesitation in recommending AM Fences and Retaining Walls to any one who is looking for quality work, great price and reliability. We are very happy. Five stars Aaron.

Can definitely recommend AM Fencing, Aaron did an amazing job of our rear fence, very professional and when he finished apart for having a brand new fence you would not know he had been here, area was left absolutely spotless. Great job Aaron.

Aaron was fantastic — professional, punctual, and reliable. He completed 38 metres of Colorbond fencing, including removal of the old timber fence, in just a day and a half. All three neighbours were extremely impressed and couldn’t speak highly enough of his work. Great job, Aaron — if we ever need more fencing done, we know who to call.
