- I like to watch the best fence-builders in the world and see what I can learn. Victor Vasquez let me come hang out with him for a few days in Salt Lake City, and he absolutely blew me away with how much his crew gets done in a day!

I’ve worked numerous labor intensive jobs, from landscaping to oil field. Let me say this, no one has ever humbled me as much as working side by side with my Latino bros. They will both work harder and smarter than you and do it with jokes and smiles. I absolutely learned a ton from it, both trade secrets and life lessons. Nothing but love for these guys!
Yeah, if I'm ever struggling with something, I just play dumb and tell the Mexican bros that I'm new. They will take their time and teach you without even knowing the language. I love shooting the shit with them and think of them as the ultimate bros. Sigueme por los chelas, amigos!
I can say the same thing with my experiences
We should get rid of the southern border and say the country belongs to Mexicans too because they're hard workers.
Cerveza super powers
Bro we aren't Latino! Latinos are Italians or people who aren't proud of who they are! We say Mexican! Never Latino! Thank you for your comments. Love when others appreciate is hard working men! Just good freaking people!
The house across the street from my house has had 3 owners since I've lived in my neighborhood. The new guy that bought the house is a young 20something Mexican kid who knows construction. This kid has made many improvements to his home in just a year and his house is the best on the block. Proud of my hard working people.
Awesome skills but let's also give credit to the parents or his guardians for instilling practical life skills since a young age. That's what happens when you have good guidance growing up.
Productive people across the board add value to society but it starts with that pride fasho
Awesome 💚🤍❤️
No you mean the government gave the home. Which the government bought it from the banks that keeps bailing out the government

I was a project manager/estimator for a small business precast concrete company. I was the one guy in the office that understood my career wouldn't exist without the guys outside doing the hard work. Concrete is no joke, and you can tell how hard and physically demanding a job is by the ratio of Mexican to other workers. I had like 90% of the guys I hired were Mexican guys. I made it a point to spend time getting dirty in the pit with them because for one, they were the absolute experts in the industry, and it made me a better estimator and project manager because I got to learn from them how shit was done and I got to see first hand why things were done a certain way and I was constantly improving how I scheduled and estimated projects because I didnt just know a product and how much it cost, I also knew how it was produced and how long it took and why it took that long etc. It was a symbiotic relationship that kept food on the table for everyone and I also earned the respect as the project manager that kept my guys busy but didnt set unrealistic timelines because I was taught the process and knew there was more to creating a product than just a simple pour and cure calculation.
I never felt so accepted as a coworker and as a person like I was there. I cant tell you how awesome it feels to get invited every weekend to a family party bbq, a few quinceañeras, having the wives/gf of those guys trying to get me to go to all the mexican weddings with the ugly friend,etc... all while being referred to as "pinche guero".
Once you get a nickname you’re basically one of the boyz “pinche guero”
Bro that's amazing! Felicidades pinchi güero! My respects to you sir.
I respect you as a man and thank you for hopping into it man.
Much respect to you.
Well said mi amino my respect to you for the acknowledge

No disrespect to anybody but my Mexicans are some of thee most hard working and humble people around.

Great to see Mexican entrepreneurs being appreciated! Some hard working folks!
Not really, especially when they came over illegally.

Had a Mexican crew do a siding job on house was told it would take 6 days , nope it took only 4. If you have a hard working crew I recommend taking good care of them. I left out a cooler of water and gatorade to take as they needed. They appreciate the little things people do. I treat every worker who comes into my home as a guest. They are doing jobs that are demanding and require skills that are worth respecting.
Love this.
@@SWiFence its the southern hospitality thing I grew up with.
Now leave a few Morelos and Coronas in that cooler and watch it get done in less than 4 days lol
@@adrianyeager6463 well that could backfire.
@@ARUSApacecarHAMPTON yes, yes it could lol especially if someone throws on some banda or something 🤣
Not once did I see any of those hard working guys with a cell phone in their hands. Teamwork, and happy attitudes. Good job guys!
...you also only got to see an edited video of less than 18min on job that lasted about 7 hours, so it's a moot point.
@sabiwabi9629 exactly they use there phones and talk and stand around just as much as any other crew
These guys don't mess around. Much respect to everyone in this field.
Victor's hand cramp was dehydration. Mas aqua !
Here in Colorado we have legions of Mexicans who start working for companies at a young age (18-22) and by the time they reach their late 20s early 30s, a good bunch of them have already started their own LLC business. Work ethic is off the charts.. Absolutely incredible!
As an ex fence builder ( and owner) for 40 years, we ALWAYS mix our concrete in a wheelbarrow, works just fine. For mixing and pouring, I’ve always made a short round point shovel with welded sides. Also, I always use a string, I used to do it by eye, but like Victor said, you end up walking back and fourth too much. The string don’t lie.
Everybody's got their favorite method. 👍🏻
I agree always use a string I've been a carpenter for 45 years columns and I always use a string for lining posts and columns 11:24 or straightening the wall or doing brickwork the always use a string always.not using a string is bush league.
The ol hoe is the best mixing tool.
@@SWiFence fences may not NEED strings, but, they're definitely needed for footings. Knowing this, I'd never skip out on them for fencing. Why not use what is reliable and quick, especially if you have a good hand that you trust to set it up?
@@SWiFenceyou got owned. Own it.
People see Mexican workers hanging out in the shade after the job is done and think they are lazy, but they didn’t see how much faster and more efficient they were than any other crew.
and the roof always leaks when they are finished. worthless illegal workers have no standards. all our mexican crews suck at roofing and other trades. we employ them because the old man is greedy.
And drinking modelo
@@SkankHunt42O I just got done putting up about 13 aluminum fence sections and let me tell you it is toughest job I've had to do - I was taking deep breaths hand shoveling all those 16" deep holes and sweat more than I ever have. If they do the job as well as this video they can drink whatever they hell they want as far as I'm concerned
and?!@@SkankHunt42O
This.
I have no care about building a fence let alone watching someone build it, but I couldn't stop watching this video! Great to see different races working together and learning different techniques from each other. I enjoyed this, Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
As a Mexican I would disagree on the word "races" as we are all the human race. We should use ethnicity or culture. Biologically we are all the same.
@@SWiFenceI take a 94# bag of portland cement. In the home depot parking lot on my trailer I transfer the portland to five gallon buckets with lids. The dirt is dug out of the holes and mixed with the portland. Eyeballing my posts (no string) and mixing dirt, portland, and water (bucket, hose, or hydro jet) the posts are set to height, line, and plumb as I go.
I used 60# redi Crete for years, it's heavy and $5/post or more. Portland cement and dirt mixed in the hole is stronger, less labor intensive, and 50¢ to $1 per hole. No B.S. Also I'm a one man crew for what it's worth.
@@redlinemsafacts
Just some humans working together.
Sensed respect from the beginning of the video. I commend you for this content. Thank you for talking to them as you’d talk to any other peers. As a Mexican that doesn’t always happen and it’s tough being around somebody whom you’re not sure will respect you. Thank you again!
right on yall are doing a great job of showing their work.
Brother, I'm a video editor for Warner Bros Discovery. The production value, energy and level of entertainment on a fence install video was phenomenal. I'm not sure what your production crew size is from shoot to edit but you're doing what usually takes full production team to do. Good stuff!
Haha! Our production crew is just one guy with a fair amount of experience. But let me tell you your comment just MADE HIS DAY. You rock! Thanks for sharing this. 👍🏻
The appreciation between men that know their trade. Solid people all around. I really enjoyed this watch.
Gotta give credit where credit is due. Great job to Victor and his crew. Not only are the fast but it looks good and leveled.
Came illegally, became legal and started his own business and is successful. That’s the American dream
thats what i plan to do
Americans are all foreigners and illegals in their "own" country.
Haha minus the felony of crossing the border illegally. That is not the American dream.
@@babybison2881I mean that revolution was a criminal act that produced the US
@@babybison2881 don't think it's a felony anymore lol. 100s of thousands walking over as I type.
The greatest compliment I ever received was being told I was a good worker by a Mexican.
I’ve got nothing but respect for guys like these. These guys deserve all my hard earned money.
While Victors crew is out digging holes, most crews are still at the corner store 😂
Well put!
I really like Victor's attitude, he seems to be a happy guy.
He is!
come to america legally
Their work ethic is exactly what this country needs more of.
Had some landscapers come by and mow the grass at my apartments, they even blew the trimmings off my patio, moved my furniture and put it back. I opened the door and offered them water. Two of three accepted, the third say "naa but I'll take a cerveza". My kind of people!
this is awesome... i did my own vinal fence like 62 posts all around but ran out of time so my shared neighbors (mexican) hired their family and ripped down dug the holes and cemented the posts in one day and it was a 25 post line ...there was 4 of them ... mexican people are my favorite people
A looser slump concrete mix is definitely the best way to go for fence posts. It fills the hole much more evenly, reduces the amount of air pockets to zero. I've built hundreds of fences and no one will ever convince me that dry packing works as well as barrow mixing.
What's up with that new expanding foam crap they got out. Sure that shit can't be good for holding up a fence post for long could it.??
@@joshuaclark384you can literally use the same dirt you pulled out of a whole to pack it in. There are better methods but it still works and got people by before concrete was a thing. I’d imagine the newly engineered stuff works just fine as well for simple things such as fence post.
@@frankiethefrog1752 rots the post, might hold up 10 yrs but the concrete will last at least 20 yrs
dirt tamped posts still beat anything... concrete draws moisture, the concrete will last, but the post will eventually rot/break off at top of slab
@@wildbill6976 Concrete is the only thing that will keep frost heave from shifting your posts on the winter, I've replaced dozens that were dirt tamped or rock filled because of the severe effect that frozen ground has on them. I had to redo 44 posts for a fence that was less than a year old because they had heaved and shifted so badly over one winter. The previous contractor just used rocks and dirt.
Great job working together to make this country better and stronger as people. Not put each other down we can learn from one another.
Been in kitchens all my life. Latins and Filipinos are easily the hardest working and ingenious folk ever. Rapido Jaimito!! Good times.
💯Mexicans work ethic is legendary! Known world 🌎 wide..
define known
I work a desk job now, but back in college I worked summers landscaping with my fellow Mexican workers. Hardest workers out there, always willing to help out on a task, always had a smile and fun quirky jokes when we were on the road to the next job site. I miss that job and those guys, hope they’re doin alright.
I work in an academic field and will most likely never do any construction. Yet this whole video kept my attention because mutual respect and a passion for learning/efficiency translates across proffessions. Subscribed
Mexicans hardest workers on the planet...we are lucky to have them ...They also make excellent Marines!!!
@josecuervo1591 Also Mexico has more graduated engineers then anyone else
@@oz311my sister is a Mexican immigrant in the states she is a civil engineer building roads in Texas!
@@oz311thats a flat out lie. China is 1st and 2nd is the US.
That’s what we Mexicans do, we work immediately…. 💪
Yea not Cubans who hoard of the government
If you're all so great, why is Mexico a third world s***hole?
Much Respect to victor and his crew I wish he was closer to home and I would contact him for a new fence. Thanks for sharing, Mark.
What a great video. I love us working together to bring this country back to what it was. Unity it's the trick. Victor and his crew are a beast
VICTOR IS A BEACON. GOD BLESS HIM. HE DESERVES ALL OF HIS SUCCESS, EMBODYMENT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM!!!!
My man i apréciate You
If people had the same attitude of appreciation as Victor, Our economy would be in a way better situation! 👍
if people have not demonized his culture to begin with
@crazywildman who's demonizing their culture?
@@invisalats841 hollywood
come to america legally
The block on the bucket is a classic ! This type of ingenuity I strive for so simple but changes quality of work so much.
Hard Working People for sure, you have to respect it. As I get into DIY stuff you really gain even more respect for for all Construction Workers, Plumbers, Electricians, Handymen...not an easy job. Projects that take me Weeks to complete they come and knock it out in Days 🙏
Great video, Mark. Victor is super human with his crew.
No joke!
Nah he's just mexican lol
Thanks for showcasing the hard workers we got ✌🏾
I had a Mexican crew tear off and replace my roof! They worked so hard and didn’t know how to speak English. The manager knew English and drove between jobs. I bought pizzas for them and they wouldn’t eat until this guy came back and said they could. I appreciated how hard they worked in hot Florida summer days!
Victor's crew has my vote for fencing in any yard I'd imagine owning, no question.
Very impressive. My partner and I just did a similar size fence and it took us 4 days. Looks like we have some learning to do.
Did you work 8 hrs per day (64 man hrs)?
@@ClaytonTownley approximately that
We had one shorter day due to rain but we definitely don’t have our act together like that crew. We plan on driving posts next year.
respect for honesty
How many men did you have?
@@ricepadi29 How much does a fence like this cost a homeowner in material and labor?
I had a Mexican crew do a complete tear off of my roof and garage. They had to put $800 of lumber into the garage due to water damage. New shingles, flashing, ice guard, repairs, clean up.... They did it all in 1 day.
This guy is awesome! Not only is he making a way for himself......but he's making a way for others. Plus they all seem proficient in ways that align with what he's about.
This video is absolutely amazing. The SWI is appreciating someones life challenges, understands how Victor made that happen and how hard victor and his crew gets to work and gets the job done professionally. SWI you are an amazing human being, thank you for acknowledging other professionals, and thank you for also showing how professionals might have different approaches to tackle situations.
Seriously if the world would take your outlook and reciprocate that onto people, society would be a cool place to live in. SWI appreciate the content.
Gosh get his nuts out your mouth, will ya? 😂
I respect anyone that works hard.
i respect people that come to work in america. legally. not cutting a fence.
Love seeing these beautiful genuine people coexist
My hats off to Victor and his crews.
i was born in oklahoma but i live in between laredo and nuevo laredo every couple of days. mexican workers have great effeciency of movement. they dont waste time and dont do anything that is pointless and yeah having cold brews are a plus
Most skilled Mexican workers leave most others in the dust.
Either very good or absolutely awful…usually no in between. We used to get many jobs that someone paid a Mexican crew to do because it was cheapest but sometimes you do get what you pay for. Majority of them that I dealt with were great hard working people, the fresh across the border kind seem to leave trash laying around the job site more than other folks but they are hard workers nonetheless.
@@frankiethefrog1752thats true. Theres a difference between a Home Depot Mexican Crew and mexican guy whos built his company from the ground up
I'm in construction. Highly skilled in finish carpentry. You are wrong. Mexican framing crews are fast, but shoddy. And good luck getting them to come back and fix problems.
I have worked with Mexican laborers who are definitely not afraid to do any kind of work. Luckily, they are now close friends and have close family ties. We could not get young Americans to do labor work that these hard working people will do. ❤
It’s always a treat to have a good crew come by and bust out work efficiently. These guys are a great example.
My old tree guy had two additional trailers for his employees, and would show up to jobs with 3-4 trucks, 12-15 guys and just tear through 3-5 jobs in a day, all good money.
I like the fact that EFFICIENCY is rewarded in the contracting world. Seems like the rest of the business world could learn a thing or two from a simple tree/fencing crew
Learn what? Bust your arse all day everyday? Do you do that at your job?
I've been around construction for most of my adult working years (45 years!) and from what I have seen, Mexican workers are the hardest workers in show biz. For a physically small people those guys know what the word work means.
i'm a 31 year old gringo from Seattle I'd be ecstatic to work for a boss like Vic, great attitude and solid ethics, all you need to make a biz thrive brother.
Awesome video! Love seeing how “the true fence king” takes care of business.
Man knows what he's doing. 👍🏻
favorite video so far. i’ve been very interested in victors work since talking to him on facebook and seeing how much was done in 1 day. i was curious how they were going about being this efficient on the job site. seems like he has a great crew working with him that’s know exactly what they’re supposed to do
They're rock solid.
The fence King is a absolute professional and so impressive, your the Nan Victor.
From Salt lake & love seeing people from the city get shown love ❤️
Amazing crew you have sir! You guys are the perfect example of culture and diversity, amazing results! Great job!
How do you write shit like that without vomiting?
@@MikeOxlongMD you reek of jealousy and envy
More like, A perfect example of illegal aliens stealing our jobs. All while our American ppl's unemployment rates keep climbing...!! American government and ppl. Are just so ignorant sometimes I swear.!!
For those trash talkers out there.... I have been in 43 countries and actually worked in, ah I dunno 8 or 9 with guys from more countries than I can count. After that lead up I can state unequivocally that the guys and gals from Mexico are by far the best workers out there. Not to discount talent from elsewhere, but I would still hire immigrants from Mexico before almost anyone else. Not about patriotism, entitlement, supposed racial superiority or any other bullshit, it's about production and work ethic. These guys know how to work and pride themselves in that ethic. Have you ever seen a roofing crew work in South Florida? Nobody comes close to these guys, they start working the moment the truck stops. No breaks, no bitching and nothing slow. All that in heat and conditions that would have you crying for mama after 15 minutes. Mad respect guys.
Nobody cares.
@@hook4116 It seems you do. It must be terrible to feel so insecure with that inferiority complex of yours. What happened, mommy not give you enough attention when you were young?
I used to do some light property lawn care (and winter prep) for 8 buildings. Owner had a roofing crew out, didn't speak any English. They had all 8 buildings done by the end of the day. A fresh roof and the ground was all clean as if they were never there. In and out with no bullshit.
To this day, I see this same pattern. It took me several weeks to put a roof on by myself, tear out the old and install the new. It's rough.
generalize much??
imagine if half stayed in mexico and worked hard at making their country great...
You just got a new subscriber buddy. Victor is a beast, you can tell he puts thought in everything he does, little things like water before pouring the cement bag, the brick on the 5 gallon bucket save alot of time, the clips in his hat. Dude has the tricks of the trade.
I never thought I would get so much enjoyment out of watching fence videos.. But you guys rock!! I have spent hours watching this stuff and they are great!!!
Thanks for doing what you do!!
Thank you for that encouragement!
Victor is a hard working man, KUDOS!
Great video ! Very helpful and informative . Love seeing hard workers ..(occasionally being one.)
Brother great job all the men working together to get the job done. Definitely worth paying top dollar for this guy and his crew. Plus to recommend him to family and friends for more work. I pray God bless this guy for his hard work, professionalism and awesome attitude. Much Respect 👍💯💪🙏

Much respect to the Mexican people, i have worked with almost every ethnic group in this country, when i say nobody works harder than Mexicans, it literally means nobody!!
@@josecuervo1591that’s because their government allowed for employers their to make a 48 hour standard work week instead of 40…

I always felt very lucky to have worked with my Español amigos. Always reached in to help when wk was so hard or heavy. Favorite group of workers. ✌️👊
This is Awesome!! Hard work does payoff, most guys who work like this have a common bond! We wake up and go after it!!
string is king and ill definitely be using that bucket block trick and telling people it was my idea lol
😂😂😂 I see you
@@thetruefenceking1233deberías de empezar un TikTok para tu negocio. Con los comentarios que has recibido creo que te iría bien. ✌️
Also do this in the roofing trade. Maybe add some foam to stop it from sliding. Great for holding nail coils...
I love the entire vibe of this video! first time seeing a video on this channel but you got yourself another sub.
Thats another Mexican dominating the construction game! Chingon compa!!
Respect goes both ways. Give some people a chance to shine and they´ll blind the world.
When you can hold your own and put in work nothing is impossible. We work together and get it done. 💯💯💯 Buen jale mi Raza

THANKS FOR SHARING
It’s admirable to hear you speak about these fence guys. You’re a good man.
Man what a Team! Skills and cooperation !
Awesome hard workers, definitely worth their wages!
Great job guys! All walk and talk!😊
Love this video, my people are hard at it again, we work hard and don’t complain much. I take pride in being Mexican and I get a lot of joy seeing guys like them get ahead in life.
I’m 25 and been building fence for 31 years now(overtime) and I have always mixed my cement just like that and it is just as strong as any so-called professional cement mixer, and don’t mind the wetness of the cement mix some will be lost immediately after you pour it, the soil will absorb it
Don’t argue with a Mexican that you work harder. My hats off to them for their work ethic
As a child my Father taught me to always work hard and show the "man" what you're made of even if he pays you poorly! I never forget that!
Let’s go Mexicans!😂 love my people
I used to get serious hand cramps until I started taking magnesium every day. Victor should take one 250 mg. Magnesium without citrate every morning along with staying dehydrated with plenty of water or Gatorade.…..lol. Great video
Thanks for the respect bro ..
Our roof was done by natives from Mexico and they worked their butts off all day long. They took maybe a 15 minute break for lunch, but they were at it from 6AM to 6PM. They did a phenomenal job too. An Ameren worker who was doing our energy efficiency conversion said he used to be a roofer and that our roof was done right.
True story: i worked in a pallet building factories for industrial shipments and it was backbreaking hand breaking work. The Mexicans were so much faster than the rest that they segregated the 2 sections. Mexicans on one side and all other races on the right. The Mexican side put out 400 pallets an hour and the other side was 200. I was the slow side and for the life of me could not do what they did
Man those fellows skin it back thank for sharing.
Great video of how its done, I did my fenck with hard pack quick crete. With 4 x 4 pt every other post and 2 ft pieces on others for stability and strength. Took a little more time but in the the fence is really strong. My neighbor had two guys install a gate and 2 sections, they were there for 6 hrs !!!!
i’ve been on the “fence industry only” page on facebook for a while . seen victors crew and fences on there . i have yet to do any vinyl in texas but i just learned a lot in this one video. my company is primarily building wood fencing in our area .
great video. keep kicking ass victor vasquez got people all over the country talking about him ! that’s awesome !
Great job, thanks for all the little hints in there!
We will be privately tackling a tiny project with larch wood posts and wire mesh in the summer,
adapting to the usual execution of the neighborhood development with wooden posts and fences
and the use of wire mesh covering. And because we have a lot of wood available in the area.
You know dude is good when they make it look easy! That's who you want to learn from!!
I'm a government worker and I approve the message - It's really hard to just stand around doing nothing. You need good shoes and back brace.
Loved how you showcase Victors team and his craftsmanship.
Much respect to you sir to show what we are about as mexicans we j7st get to the point with no excuses 👏
Buen trabajo en equipo y puro para delante amigos .
