Straight Answers Before Anyone Quotes a Price
Block walls, fences and gates across Tempe and the East Valley. Somebody looks at the actual wall, then you get it in writing. No price from the driveway and none over the phone.
Tempe Fence Company handles block wall repair and construction, fence repair and installation in wood, vinyl, wrought iron and chain link, gate repair, automatic driveway gates, and pool fencing built to Arizona's barrier requirements. Tempe is home and the East Valley is the working radius.
The reason it is worth saying out loud is that two different trades answer the same phone call, and being a fence contractor in Tempe, AZ means knowing which one your problem belongs to before anybody drives out. A leaning CMU wall is masonry: footings, rebar, grout, mortar joints. A dragging wood gate is carpentry and hardware. A powered driveway gate adds a third skill set on top. Send the wrong one to a footing problem and everybody loses the morning.
So we sort on the symptom you describe rather than on whoever happens to be free that day. Describe the crack and you get someone who reads footings. Describe the gate and you get someone who re-hangs gates.
Your wall is as old as your neighborhood. Most of Tempe went up in the 1960s to 70s boom, and the block walls were stacked while the houses were being framed. That puts a large share of them at 50 to 60 years old. That is the window where footings shift in caliche soil, mortar joints open in stair-step cracks, and a run that stood straight for decades starts to lean.
Homeowners read that as neglect. It is a schedule, and the whole street is on it. Which is why the first question here is almost never "what does a fence cost." It is "can this be saved, or does it come down?" See block wall repair for how that call gets made.
Tempe is the center of it: the boom-era neighborhoods on both sides of the US 60, the dense rental blocks north of Apache Blvd, and the newer subdivisions in south Tempe toward the Chandler line. The same routes carry the rest of the East Valley.
There is no showroom to visit and no yard to drive to, because the wall is not in either of those places. We come to you and look at it. If you own rentals near ASU, say so when you call. Turnover work and pool-barrier compliance run on a tighter clock, and they get scheduled that way.
There is no badge wall on this page and no award list. Here is what is actually worth promising.
Current licensing for the work being taken, and insurance, checked again rather than once. A homeowner should never be the person who discovers a lapse.
Rescheduling twice and going quiet is the most common complaint in this trade, and it has nothing to do with workmanship. It is about a truck that never came.
Someone stands at the run, checks it for plumb, reads the footing line, the drainage and the crack pattern, then puts it in writing for you. It names what gets repaired, what gets rebuilt, and what gets left alone.
Answering "rebuild it" to every wall is easy to sell and expensive to hire. So is patching a wall on a failed footing, because that repair fails again in front of the same homeowner. One moved post is a post repair. A run of loose posts is a fence. See fence repair.
If a job does not clear that, it is not worth having.
