The hardware for the gates was placed on backwards. Various cracked boards, exposed nails and bowing of boards. I was charged $700 for a mesh tarp that they referred to as a "sun sail", which was a brazen lie. I was told the tarp would be functional and easily removable. It was bolted down and not removable and provided zero sun protection. When I demanded it be removed and me refunded my money I was given the runaround. Once taken down I inspected this plastic Amazon tarp and found that they had removed the tags!!! SCAM. They did come out and replace the cracked boards and switch the hardware, and on another visit to address more complaints the owner himself came for a walkthrough and basically tried to gaslight me into asking if I had treated the fence yet saying that the wood was bowing because the fence needed to be treated- mind you it has only been four months since installation, and I was instructed to let the wood dry out. Coincidentally, I was already in the process and had stained a few boards with stain samples a few days prior to our walkthrough, which he saw with his own eyes. I am an educated homeowner and property manager. I know good work when I see it. The poor quality of wood and craftsmanship of the fence/pergola has nothing to do with the fence not being stained 16 weeks post install. Not one time did I ever receive an apology about the major mistakes, the setback and slope of the fence and the countless oversights and poor quality. The playing dumb routine rubbed me the wrong way as well as being blamed for being slow to stain the boards and told that no customer had ever complained about their TARPS or ever wanted to know the manufacturer and care instructions. Comb over your statement of work before proceeding with this company and make sure you have time to micromanage and babysit. Also, they go by various other names i.e., Chattel's Design, Aiken Pool and Aiken Fence. If you can speak Spanish that will also be a helpful because none of the guys working spoke English.

John came to my house and was really nice. My neighbor got mad about anyone on his property and it…read moregot ugly. He left and I felt terrible he had to see it. I called him and apologized and he agreed that my rude neighbor even wished me dead. He said he wasn't afraid of my neighbor and had an Idea and said he would come by the next day. I was surprised he would tell me he even wanted to deal with my fence painting. I was happy to hear him say he'd freak out to as I did stand my ground. John was super busy the next day and I said no rush at all. I'm just glad he understood because I had cement work as well. He assured me he was the man I could count on. I then tried probably 5 x by phone or text without a reply. If you didn't want to do anything John, you should NOT have gaslighted me man. That is not cool. He cannot be trusted. I saw he was reading my texts and never answered me again. I told him my last text that I was glad he wasn't sick or in an accident. Nothing is worse that being gaslighted. You may want to look it up if you don't understand the term sir. Buyer beware. Good day, Rich from Warrenville.

I had to contact him to try to get a quote. He called me on a Saturday night and then I never heard from him again for another week. He finally sent me a quote, which wasn't what I even wanted. Asked me to call him the next day. I called him the next day our call got disconnected and he texted me and told me he would call me when he got better service..three days later came, never heard from him until I gave him a bad review. Please don't use this business. It's been three weeks and they're very bad in communication.
