SG Construction

The vendor was on time but was not familiar with the type of fence I wanted. We discussed and he said an estimate would arrive shortly. I never received an estimate nor did anyone followup with me to see if I was interested. I check my spam folder - I find it disappointing that Angies List has contractors who don't follow through as it makes me suspicious of any of the business listed.

The price was something I could afford, and more reasonable than two other companies I got estimates from. Most companies do not want to come out for smaller repairs, which they have to charge more per foot than when they do larger jobs. The owner and general manager are very personable. The laborers arrived on time and completed the work in one day. It is satisfactory for the price. I think the general manager should have noticed on his original visit that the boards they would have to match were 6 inch instead of 8 inch, and had them to begin with in order to match the rest of the fence. They had to make a trip to home depot to get the 6 inch, and then cut off the ends that were notched. Un-notched 6 inch boards are available. They were not prepared with the window frame rails either, and I had to tell them they could buy them at Home Depot. They thought they would have to cut them. Also, be advised that the bottom 2 x 12 support boards, and the posts, are treated a very dark brown. I did not order the more expensive heart redwood, which, of course, would look better. They did not replace the corner post, which I had requested, but I did not see this until after they had left. However, they did replace two other posts that were not in the original plan, which I appreciated. The foreman did not complete the trim repairs to one panel of the fence and I had to tell him to do so and on both sides. I think there should be better communication between the general manager and the foreman as to what is expected. They did break 5 drip line sprayers and stomped down one small plant. I think they could have been more careful in that regard. The owner said they would show me a board with samples of gate latches that I could pick from. However, they did not have a display board and gave me the only one they had, very basic, which I will probably replace. I did not find out if they removed all the old cement. They did not dig it out, but chipped it and I do not know how far the new posts are cemented in. They should be 18 inches. They do not use wet mix cement, but dry cement that is put in the holes and water added to it. Ask a lot of questions folks and always be home to check on the work frequently.

They provided timely communications, showed up on time, and performed the work in a professional manner. Both my neighbor and I were happy with the outcome.

Scott is professional and they deliver what they promise at a good price. I will definitely use them again.

It was a great experience overall. My neighbors did all of the arranging and had me look over the terms. Scott's team was punctual and got the work done quickly and cleanly. In fact, after the work was done, I was tempted to have my other fence replaced because the new fence was so lovely (but I haven't done anything about that yet). The price I listed here was the total price, which was split between me and my neighbors.
