I contracted with them to tear down an old 6 foot high fencing and replace with new 6 foot high fencing with 4 foot wide gates. My fence has still not been completed. I asked them to redo a gate due to it being sized too short. That gate is still not fixed and I have had to lean it and tie it down, plus put some loose boards beside of it to prevent the deer from coming into my backyard and eating all my plants. I only have one gate, which sticks when it rains, that I can go out and it has been that way for almost a year. They installed a 42" gate instead of a 48" gate. They need to redo the fence to make it more private and replace broken stepping stones that were broken during the construction of the fence. The workmen deviated from the original placement of the fencing and also the way the gates opened without consulting me. When I confronted them, they said I couldn't have my gates opening on the right side. This problem was caused by the posts being installed incorrectly. Also subtract from my bill a fourth gate that was not installed and a section of fence that was
never built. I paid them the deposit, but have not completed payment
on the fence due to it not being completed. I asked them to contact me
by email due to the issues that I have had with them denying what was
said and delaying completing my fence over and over. Currently, my
fence is without a third functioning gate and the second gate sticks
when I try to open it especially after a rain. They sent me a second
bill on 12/14/17 for the remaining balance, but have not responded to
my last email dated October 2, 2017 or the one I sent them last week
on June 20, 2018. I was told that they would talk with the owner and
that they would get back to me.
I am ashamed of my fence due to the crooked way it was put together.
My gates have wide openings between the boards and boards aren't cut
straight on the gates or the fence--anywhere. I didn't ask them to
make a rough sloppy fence. I contracted for professional work and
didn't get it. They were not the cheapest bid that I got. I believe in
paying for quality work. Also, upon closer inspection the workmen
placed fewer boards on the neighbor's side and that is why I am not
getting very much privacy. The men building the gate took home the
left over wood. I was told by the second contractor that the best wood
from the load would be used for my fence. I have never seen such
knotting on boards and the knots are cracking and holes are appearing.
The prime contractor was not on site when the fence was being built.
The second subcontract was there briefing the day the fence was
started, but other than cell phone contact was not physically there. I
was told by the men building the fence that the wood that was used
would warp because it was number 2 wood. Some of the boards are
starting to warp. Mostly what is happening is that the boards have
numerous knots. The knots are cracking and there are holes appearing
in the fence boards. This whole situation has been very depressing.
All I want is for my fence to be completed in a professional manner
with quality material and not have to deal with salesmen who deny me
ever asking for a more private fence. read more
