That same handshake spirit is what we bring as a fence company in High Shoals, NC today.

The company remains locally owned and independently operated. Tim has run the day-to-day since 2010 alongside Angie in the office, and Joe's standards still guide every job. Tim's son Logan is part of the next generation. More than half our work each year comes from people who hired us before or were sent by someone who did.

Every project begins with an on-site consultation. We walk your land with you, tell you plainly what the fence needs and leave you a free written estimate. You decide on your own schedule, with no pressure from us. Our own two crews do the fence installation High Shoals, NC homeowners hire us for, and they check their work three times before they pack up.

River Town Roots

Shoals, Ironworks and a Wood Privacy Fence in High Shoals

The town is named for the shoals in the South Fork Catawba River, where rapids once powered local industry. An ironworks opened here in the 1790s and made cannonballs for the US Army during the War of 1812. After the Civil War, textiles took over, and High Shoals Mills began running in 1901. A 1996 fire destroyed much of the factory, and remnants of the old dam and mill still sit near the falls.

For decades the mill company owned the entire community, until the mill houses were eventually sold to private buyers. Today a wood privacy fence in High Shoals might go up behind a former mill house or around a newer home. The town did not incorporate until November 6, 1973, the most recent of any town in Gaston County. We check the town's or county's fence rules before we build.

The South Fork runs directly through the community, and Sulfur Branch crosses the west side past Briarcreek Golf Course before it joins the South Fork. On properties near the water, we evaluate the grade and any soft, saturated areas before setting posts. The Dallas-High Shoals Highway links the town to Dallas, an easy drive for our crews from Gastonia.

    Hey, listen, Tim and gang are THE BEST show in town! The price was great, the customer service second to none, but honestly for someone on a schedule the best part was: they started and finished when they said they would (insert applause here). They did the job right! Don't mess with anyone else, just call Tim and get the job done right!

    I had J&G replace an old and decayed wood stockade fence with a new one. I have high expectations and they exceded them. The quality of material was top-notch. The workmanship was flawless and the work crew was highly skilled, friendly, cooperative, and very efficient. Aside from the wonderful sturdy fence installation, they did a marvelous job of cleaning an overgrown fence line and completely cleaned up after themselves. They were in and out in only 2 days. I found their cost to be fair and owner Joe Mayes who did the quote was good to work with. I highly recommend them.

    J G Fence did a great job replacing our picket fence. I saw their sign on Walthour and called and left a message on their phone. Joe got right back to me which is unusual in Savannah. So many times when trying to get work done, nobody calls back, very frustrating. He put us on his schedule and within two weeks the work was done and only took one day, and they hauled away the old fence. Also very reasonably priced which we appreciated. Thanks Joe and Gene for a job well done. I would highly recommend them if you want a professional job.

    It’s always stressful to find and hire a contractor to me anyway, but I hit a home with J & G Fence Company. Had less expensive quotes but my salesman, Tim Conner, sold me on himself and his company. Tim gave me solid advice, explained the process so even I could understand…lol Tim’s crew was amazing to watch. Very polite to speak with and I enjoyed watching them work together. It seemed each guy had his own responsibilities and didn’t have to ask each other what to do, just worked like a well oiled machine and finished the job in no time. They also left my yard looking better than when they got here. Super, super experience and trust me, you can trust this company to deliver on your expectations.

    We have used J&G twice now; once to replace and update existing fencing, and once to add additional fencing to our property. We are very pleased with the work and the product. We have gotten compliments from our neighbors. The fence installers did a fantastic job and left the place nice and clean. Tim is a great guy and we are glad to know him. We highly recommend J&G services to anyone needing fencing on their property.

    We love our new privacy fence! The J&G crew removed our old chain-link fence and built a much sturdier fence in just a day and a half. The work was fast, high quality, and priced much lower than other quotes we received. They even added a free gate. Excellent service—highly recommend!

    Tim came highly recommended by several friends that had used J&G for many fence projects. He and his team exceeded our expectations! They were affordable, quick and efficient and the fence is superior quality. We had him add a street access gate and privacy surround for our garbage and recycling- that was the cherry on top! I would without hesitation recommend J&G for your next fence project!

    I had approximately 360 ft. Of fence installed. One side of the property line with wooden privacy fence and the rest 5 ft chain link. They installed two 12 ft drive through gates on the chain link as well as a 5 ft gate for foot traffic. It looks wonderful and I think they did a wonderful job. They even had to slightly modify a terminal post to attach to my pool fence. Super job!

    Tim was great and personable and upfront. I had to wait for approval from my HOA but he was able to get the materials ordered so we would be ready to go. The guys worked fast and finished in one day. They were also clean and didn't leave any debris or trash in my yard, yay! I had 4 quotes and all were within $700 of each other. I decided to go with J&G and didn't realize until later that they were actually the lowest quote. Win Win! For reference, I had a 6 foot vinyl privacy fence with one gate installed.

    We can't thank Tim Connor with J&G Fence enough for his accuracy and competence in first, finding an encroachment by our neighbor's newly installed fence, and then installing our fence. From start to finish, Tim and his team held true to their word, arriving on time and finishing the job on time and installing a quality fence that looks great.

    Overall had a great experience with J and G Fence Co. Accurate review would probably be 4.5 stars, but I will round up based on continuous positive interactions. They were very responsive in our communications back and forth, were always on time, and I found their fence estimate to be reasonable. We had a privacy fence installed for our back yard (with two gates, one for a person and another for a car) about four months ago. The fence has held up well through a few storms, and has kept both our dog and toddler in the yard while exploring. There were only two areas of improvement I would recommend. Firstly, all the purchase stickers were left on the bottom of the individual fence pickets, so I had to go through and remove them all myself. Secondly, the car gate installation functions properly, but both doors of the gate are crooked. Pleased in all my interactions with the people at J and G Fence Co., and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

    We had a vinyl fence installed on one side of our property to match the neighbors' side yet leave the back open for our scenery. Ken was our project manager, and kept us updated on our order and also came to remeasure after we had second thoughts about the length of the fence. The team Jose, Kevin, and Beto, installed our fence just as I wanted; level on the top and according to the specifications. They were very pleasant, professional, and efficient in getting the work done on a very hot day. We are looking forward to grilling and entertaining outside now with our new privacy. Thank you! 🤗

    We are currently working on having fencing installed around our back yard and called on J & G Fence Co for an estimate. They made an appointment to come out and in spite of it being rainy, they came out and prepared the estimate in the rain. Their estimate was very competitive and we would have probably chosen them for the work if not for a personal recommendation from a close friend on another company. This group is very professional and I was impressed by their responsiveness and commitment to be here despite the weather. Please consider this company for your fencing needs!

    I found J&G Fence by listening to WSGE Radio. I was very impressed with the response of getting back to me and being on time in scheduling. My yard was a bit of a challenge due to some obstacles and trees that we wanted to keep. The installers did an amazing job and were super nice and explained everything to us. They were respectful of property and got the job completed on schedule. I had been wanting a fence for years so that I could enjoy privacy and to block the view of a neighbor. These guys are my heroes this year. Thanks J&G Fence, I'm doing a happy dance!

What fence makes sense for land near the South Fork River?

On open land, split rail or post-and-rail is a good fit because it marks the line and keeps the river view. For pets, chain link or a wood privacy fence works better. Near the water we look closely at grade and drainage, then set each post for the ground we find. We explain our choices in writing.
