YG Fence Nightmare - Part II…read more
Part 1 review - I hired YG Fencing to do $45,000 worth of wood and wrought iron fence work tree and removal at my home. In the process, Gavino, the CEO and my contact, caused $2,950.00 worth of damage to my pool. He readily acknowledged his fault and agreed to pay for the restoration work in total. He promised to pay the full balance by the completion of the work, which was completed on April 20, 2026. He did not honor his word and continued to avoid making restitution until finally making a partial payment of $2,000.00. When asked to pay the remaining $950.00 he refused citing the need for proof of workers' compensation insurance, W-9, and a contractor's license and general liability insurance.
Part II -
On June 27, 2026, I paid the remaining $950.00 of Gavino's responsibility that YG Fencing refuses to pay. I cannot in good conscience screw honest, hardworking small business owners out of compensation for work contracted for and completed the way YG Fencing does with such ease. Had I read their Yelp and Better Business Bureau reviews before signing a contract with them, I would have seen how this kind of business behavior is not at all out of the ordinary. In fact, since my intital Yelp review, I have had other readers who were clients of YG Fencing contact me sharing their similar stories of nightmare experiences with YG Fencing. Most refer to Gavino's ability to make such a strong positive first impression that the customer is lulled into a false sense of security that makes them let their guard down and not research this sham company more thoroughly. Shame on me for falling for Gavino's conman tactics. Had I read the reviews, I would NEVER have gone with this sorry excuse of a business.
YG Fencing's request for workers' compensation insurance, W-9, and a contractor's license and general liability insurance is just another example of them trying to avoid their responsibility for the damage Gavino caused to my pool through negligent practices during the installation of the wrought iron fence around my pool. If securing these items was truly an issue, why did YG Fencing FINALLY after a series of excuses, lies, and machinations, make the partial payment of $2,000.00? YG Fencing was not using the pool restoration company, a sole proprietor company, as a sub-contractor. These documents were unnecessary. I am assuming they needed time to come up with yet another reason as to why they couldn't honor their word. Again, while Gavino was quick to acknowledge his fault, his actions on behalf of YG Fencing for the past 3 months prove that he was actively trying to avoid honoring his word and "doing the right thing" (his words, not mine) to remedy the situation. The request for these documents is absurd and clear evidence of manipulation.
Again, as I said in my first review, steer WAY clear of YG Fencing.
