DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
Our ordeal started with a "salesman" coming to our home, selling us on the "Certainteed" name brand product, 6' privacy fence with a beautiful 6' to 4' sloped fence in the rear of our home. A few days later, we called and scheduled the installation of our fence for 4/21/2016. As the date drew closer, my fiance attempted several times to contact our salesman in an effort to confirm our install. When he finally was able to get a hold of him, the salesman explained that he cannot confirm our install date due to a material shortage of the sloped Certainteed panels that we had chosen. Once off the phone, my fiance contacted the Certainteed factory (here in Indiana) and lo and behold - they had the panels! There was never a shortage.
My fiance insisted on speaking to the Manager of this "salesman" and the Manager acted like he was equally disgusted with the fact that his salesman sold us something that they didn't carry (EVER) and that they would not even be using the Certainteed product on our fence.
Knowing that we were on a deadline, my fiance and I settled for a sloped fence that was less appealing and the Manager knocked some minor money off for our inconvenience.
The day of installation, it was pouring rain and they sent two (2) gentleman out to install the entire fence. The gentlemen were nice enough and helped us work through some placement issues. Unfortunately, along with rain comes mud so, our yard was left with a lot of ankle-deep holes made by their work boots, all the sod that had grown from the seed was trampled on and destroyed, our screened in porch (with a brand new rug) where they stored their power equipment while working was a muddy mess as was our new front lawn where they scraped the mud off their boots and left it in huge clumps.
Even better...the gate that they brought for our fence, was not a good fit for our landscape so, they left us with an installed fence and no gate. When I asked them when the gate would arrive, the gentleman said he has no idea because they are so busy. Three (3) days later, my fiance and I left for Mexico for six (6) nights, upon our return home we couldn't help but to notice that our gate had still not been installed. We each called Amerifence steadily for the next couple days with no return phone calls from the not-so-friendly woman in the office. In the meanwhile, I was leashing up my two(2) dogs and walking them at all hours of the day and night to potty because there was no gate on our fence...not even a temporary "something".
On May 4th, 2016 at 11:30am I called the office again and had the nicer lady take a message regarding the fact that we had been paid in full and missing a gate for the last 13 days. She promised me a call back...Well, needless to say, that never happened so after waiting five (5) hours, I called the office back at 4:30pm, I was finally able to speak to the rude lady in the office, explained my situation and she made is sound like I was unreasonable for being upset because they "were busy and backed up due to the rain". She promised our gate install that Saturday (16 days after we were paid in full and had the fence up). SHAME ON US ASSUMING THAT THEY WOULD BRING A FENCE POST CAP THAT HAD BEEN MISSING SINCE DAY ONE AT THE TIME OF THE GATE INSTALLATION!
I received a phone call early one morning and they did come out a day or two early with our gate. No one was home at the time so we were unable to address the missing fence post cap and two large dents in 1 of the panels.
We are disgusted by this company because of the bait and switch on product, the lack of care and respect to our home, the fact that to this day, we still have not received everything that we paid for and the fact that they did not mention/try to remedy the two (2) huge dents in the one (1) panel.
Specializing in construction and restoration, all I can say is: SHAME ON YOU AMERIFENCE. read more
