One would think if a company did a lovely job of installing both a front yard aluminum fence and rear yard privacy fence as requested to the tune of $10,000+ that they would also be able to handle matching stair rails out front.
SPOILER ALERT: As evidenced by the one star review they were not able to deliver on a 2nd lovely job.
Not only did they show up 2 days prior to scheduled date of installation without notice, the installer also showed up in what is assumed to be a personal vehicle with our railings in it. Real professional . In addition, the installer left screws and other sharp debris all over our yard after the job was complete. I wouldn't have even mentioned any of these things if they had done what we paid for, but they didn't so here we are.
We chose the same color of aluminum as the front fence, which they installed as stated previously. I even have the picture of the color from the day of the consultation (see pic) that my husband sent to me to ensure that I liked the color prior to us committing to the job.
So the railing installed is jet black, doesn't match the fence (see pic) at all or our home (see pic) so it looks absolutely terrible. The 2x4s that were up since we moved in didn't match either, but they didn't cost $3500+ . At this point I'd rather have them back as they wouldn't be a daily reminder of a waste of our hard earned money like the current railings are. (Bring out that Michael Jackson popcorn meme because we are not done here ! )
All of the above is bad enough, but they took a step further to make it worse:
When my husband called to discuss the mistake with Noah Urben we were basically told that nothing could or would be done as the electronic contract we signed said black. Since we didn't fill out the contract, a Pro Fence and Railing employee did, they made the mistake as far as I'm concerned. Does no one review the contract on their end prior to sending to a potential client? Do they not keep records of our fence color from prior job? I'm just asking out loud because I didn't get any answers from the actual company despite my husband leaving several messages via phone for the "President" who's about as reachable as The Wizard of Oz apparently as we haven't heard a peep in 8 days. I shouldn't have to be versed in railing colors, for all I know black might be how our fence color is described, that's not my expertise. Does no one at the business question why the color black is written down on a contract for a prior customer who has ZERO black fences that you installed prior? Maybe you should begin that practice now to save yourself the trouble of have another botched job like mine. I am certain that if you had done that I would have the railings I paid for.
Rather than Noah (VP apparently) apologize or try to make it right we were told that the only thing that would or could be done is for us to get another quote for the correct color and pay them $3500+ again. No thank you Noah, that's ridiculous.
Also, the installer told my husband that the railing color would "fade" to the color of our fence, really? Interestingly our fence did not fade to its current color, it's the color we paid for & they installed.
What happened to having pride in your work? As someone who claims to be a "Pro" you would think you would care what your finished product looks like, apparently not the case here.
Also, apparently repeat business isn't wanted or actual customer satisfaction is not in their business plan. After our fencing was installed I did wholeheartedly recommend your services to others. But now, a little over a week after the botched job, I am content to openly share my dissatisfaction both virtually and in person with whomever wants to listen.
I was going to look into having it painted, as leaving it jet black and seeing it everyday is making a mockery of my hard earned money. However as I type this, it occurred to me that leaving it AS IS may offer more satisfaction since I'm not gonna get what I paid: Im happy to tell anyone who asks why it blatantly doesn't match & who not to waste your hard earned money on.
