On 10/19/23, I paid $5,500 for an 80' double wood slat fence in my rear yard. The slats were…read moreinstalled with staples instead of nails or screws. A couple of months later, the slats began to warp, twist, and pop off the studs. I called, and three slats were replaced. Additional slats have warped. I have called several times and was told they were busy and would get back to us as soon as they could. No show. Now, when I call, all I get is voicemail. I have concluded that inferior wood (green) wood was used, and staples are not a viable method to use to affix slats to the fence. DO NOT USE.

Edit: I'm updating this as the owner contacted me within a few hours of me posting this review. He…read moredid state that his website is relatively new and he's not getting emails sent to his phone from the contact us form. I did call a couple days later but I can't recall if I left a voicemail so it's possible he didn't return the call because I may not have left an VM identifying myself as a customer. His quick response here makes me believe this is just a strange circumstance issue where something got lost in the internet/phone world. I appreciate his quick response and courtesy despite receiving an initially negative review, perhaps we will get another chance to work together in the future. Used their contact form on their website to send a message on Oct. 29th because I was looking to have some irrigation work done around my house. Called and left a message 2 days later and still haven't received an email or callback from them. Not sure what happened, maybe they are overly busy or just weren't interested, either way it's disappointing to reach out to a business looking to get some work done and not even get a response.
