**Updated review as fence gate began to bow. Was told that "wood is not straight and that I would need to drill a metal stop into the cement to fix it". I've never lived in a home where the fence wasn't aligned top to bottom and, if I were dealing with a customer, I wouldn't tell them that it was because that is the way wood is. If there is additional work that needs to be done after a job is complete, to me, the job is incomplete.
I called Brett on Friday morning, he came out a couple hours later to give an estimate and completed the job on the following Monday. Great job, very nice guy. I recommend using his company and will certainly call him again for fence work.
We're thrilled, as are our neighbors who share that fence with us. That neighbor had him look at a much more severely sagging fence on their property and he gave them several suggestions for trying to save the old fence but he also gave them a quote to replace the fence entirely if that was found to be necessary.
Brett will be reinforcing the fence on the other side of our yard that we share with another neighbor within the next couple of weeks. That neighbor was hesitant about the process and needed to see the finished product before she would allow it to be done on the fence we share.
We highly recommend Brett Howe/Fence Aid.
IMPORTANT: Angie's List shows Fence Aid accepts credit cards. They DON'T, and never have. I probably should have clarified this with Brett but it's right there on the page, so I didn't even think of it.
He was on time and provided a very reasonable estimate for the job.
Brett indicated that even though he was in the middle of a large job he would work me in.
He set an approximate day and time which met my needs and work schedule and indicated that if some time opened up sooner he would call. As it turned out, he did have a time open up on a day I had off from work.
He showed up at the time he said he would and built a great gate for me.
Even though it was a straight forward job for him, it had become a major headache for us, since the gate was barely hanging on the hinges. I was really impressed with his work and professionalism.
If you need fence work done and done right, call Fence Aid.
Side Note:
I had all ready priced out material from a local Home Depot and figured it would take me the better part of a day to do myself, if I was lucky. I knew how my work would turn out and knew the better way to go would be to hire a professional. It was worth it.
Also, I had tried to get two other estimates. One person never showed up and the other gave me a high price over the phone and said it would be 4-5 weeks before he could do the work.
The fence looks great and the materials used look top notch.
They hauled off the old fence debris and left the yard in pretty good shape. There were some sawdust piles in the yard, but it was not a big deal. There was one broken sprinkler head along the fence. Again, not a big deal and it may have been broken by my gardener, who cleared the area along the fence before the work was done.
Overall I am very pleased with the job and would recommend Fence Aid.
"Thank you for your feedback. I pride myself on being very professional, and I hope that my clients understand that I try to make sure they get the best results for their job. I am very glad to hear you are receiving complements on my work!"
We would recommend Fence Aid without reservation.
"Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to work for you."
"Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am very glad you are happy with the fence."
