The customer service from this business is absolutely horrible. The only thing done in a timely…read moremanner was an initial quote. When we were ready to go ahead with the project we could not get in touch with our estimator. Eventually we found out he had taken parental leave. He never ended up coming back and no one returned our calls or messages for five months. At that time a new estimator took the project on, and between that time and installation it went ok. But once the fence was installed we noticed a couple of issues with gates not closing properly (or at all) which we consider to be serious because it's a pool fence and needs to be secure, and contacted the owner. We paid the full amount within two weeks of installation, however they have not addressed the issues, they do not return calls, when we are able to get in touch with them they give multiple excuses for why they have not come to fix the gates, they say they will contact us and don't. We regret very much paying the bill and will not be recommending this company to anyone.

He took over a…read moremonth to come by and assess things so he could create a quote....then he vanished without notice for two months.... When I finally reached him again, he told me he had cancer, and was dying, but also said he had a specialist appointment the following week to give him a detailed prognosis of his situation. I asked him if he could simply let me know what the specialist had to say, but that I would not be the least bit upset if he told me he couldn't perform the task...he promised me he would let me know as soon as he had any answers. Then he disappeared once again. When I mentioned to another contractor that things didn't look good for him, I was told that he had been working continuously, and when asked about his health, he said he was fine. I don't think I've ever met a flakier contractor ever. I haven't heard a word from him in over 6 weeks. I was more patient than I think I've ever been regarding an issue such as this. And I was clearly shown that my business meant nothing to this fellow, nor was I even shown the simple courtesy of a response....ever. I have NO respect for businesses that treat potential customers so poorly.

We noticed the budget was more than $100,000 over what we said at the start. We contacted to stop.Then the fun began. They used our deposit for billing for items not charged for by any other contractors we spoke to.
