I was searching for a reliable fence company and was very fortunate to find McNiic Holes Post Hole. Dan came by and gave me a great price with a few of the other neighbors wanted it done as well. Dan, Jacob and Colin were professional, respectful and friendly and did such an amazing job. The gate they put up was the best construction of a gate Ive ever seen. I would highly recommend this company if you want your fence and gate done with high standards. Thank you Dan and his team . Great job!! Trudi
Was shopping around for someone to build my fence and I stumbled across Dan and his company and I was extremely satisfied with his work. His crew was very efficient and friendly, they showed up on time and showed a great attention to detail. 10/10 would 100% recommend to anyone who needs anything along those lines
I hired McNic to drill the post holes for my 6×6 backyard fence, and the service exceeded my expectations. He was professional, punctual, and offered very competitive pricing. He took the time to make sure every hole was set properly before leaving, and the quality of the work was excellent. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for fence post holes to be drilled.
Wow - super pleased with these guys! Dan and his assistant were very pleasant to deal with and they really know their stuff. Equipment manouvered through very tight access, minimal disturbance to the surrounding worksite and got the job (digging & cement mix/pour) done quickly. Happy to recommend them.
Great company. These boys were very professional, friendly, and accurate. I spoke with 5 different post hole digging companies and these guys were the cheapest. I would definitely recommend. 52 post done today
MCNIC HOLES came to our rescue this week after another company cancelled. They were quick, friendly, accurate & clean with the backyard. Posts looks amazing and they finished in lightening fast time!!! Thanks so much for a great job!
Had an awesome experience with Dan and his team for my backyard project. I needed six post holes dug for a new deck, and they absolutely nailed it. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and the quality was top-notch — the holes were perfectly straight, clean, and exactly where I needed them. It’s clear Dan and his team really know what they’re doing, and they made the whole process super easy for me. If you’re planning any kind of deck, fence, or outdoor project, I’d highly recommend giving Dan a call. Couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
Daniel’s knowledge and understanding is immediately evident. He answered all my (possibly stupid) questions clearly and comfortably making me confident I chose the right guy. The work speaks for itself… this guy is going places and with him at the controls, so is your backyard!
Today McNic Post Holes attended my home and drilled out the required post holes , placed the posts and backfilled around the holes. The work was professionally and speedily completed by Dan and his crew who all worked their butts off. They were all polite and willing to explain the project and their progress. It is seldom that you can encounter work quality like this. I will definitely be using them again. Well done guys.
Dan worked effortlessly during the entire process, while not always easy. With a large layer of clay and rocks beneath the service of our grass and the old deck, they were able to create perfect holes for my boyfriend’s family to create a beautiful deck the next day. We could not be happier with how hard the McNic Holes team worked and the turn out! Thank you Dan.
Dan put in a new fence for us and replaced an old post in our older fence. We are very pleased with their work, price and attitude. Jacob and Dan are a great team. I would highly recommend McNic Holes.
Dan was great! Arrived on time worked hard and cleaned up the job site to my liking. He works hard and is very precise which is needed in his field of work. He has all the equipment needed to get the job done. Well priced to boot! I totally recommend him for your fence post needs!
Dan was great to deal with! Very informative and prompt with answering any questions. Showed up as promised and completed the job in no time at all. Drilled and set 12 posts for me. His team were helpful and did an amazing job! They didn't make a mess of my yard either! Definitely worth getting him in. More cost effective and time efficient! Worth every cent! Especially with some of the stuff they dug out! Will use him again when it's time to finish the rest of my fence next year.
Dan and his crew were incredibly polite, efficient and got the job done well. Dan picked my posts up for me and worked around my schedule. Happy to support independent and would 100% recommend!
Just had Dan and crew do some rather large holes for my elevated deck. Very prompt service and exceptional work. Dan arrived as promised and I am very pleased with everything that he had done. Exact drilling and footings were precisely positioned and passed city inspection with absolutely no problems. Would highly recommend them to anyone!!!!
Dan is a great guy and did AWESOME work in a VERY short amount of time. I contacted 4 different companies before connecting with McNic Holes - 2 of which quoted me more than triple I was quoted by Dan. Would highly recommend if you're looking for fast quality work at a great price!
I would highly recommend Dan and the McNic Hole team! Dan is quick to respond, helpful, and professional. Dan is very knowledgable in what he does, and his team was kind and caring while working at our property! Thank you Dan, we really enjoyed working with you :)
Dan offered a reasonable quote, arrived on time, and provided a professional service. I was surprised to see how easily he was moving the 5x5 lumber around too. The fencing guys that came in after mentioned how the posts were all set flush in line and now the new fence looks great! Thanks for your help Dan and team, I would recommend to any friend or colleague.
I hired Dan and his team to install the fence posts for my fence. They showed up ready to work and finished the job quickly and efficiently. The job was done exactly how i explained to them and i'm very happy with their work! They're professional, friendly and do extraordinary work. I recommend McNic Holes to anyone looking to build a fence or deck
We are extremely happy with the quality of work that Dan and his team performed. There equipment didn't damage the lawn and they cleaned up the site when they were done. I will definitely use McNic Post Hole Digging for my next project🤙
