"This is a follow up to my prior review of Alpha Foundations. After reading my initial review, Alex (The General Manager) conctacted me to chat about my experience. I left the conversation with a better understanding of the initial inspection process and thoroughly impressed with the overall customer service of everyone I came into contact with at Alpha. From the sales team, field techs and management, my customer service experience was top notch. It's obvious to me that customer service and satisfaction is at the top of their priority list and it resonates througout the organization. Although I experienced a very minor issue with the initial diagnosis of the problems my property was having, I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again in the future and would recommend them to friends and family."

Commercial and Residential - Remodeling General Contractor

We are fence contractors. Able to install all types of fences from privacy fence to any type of decorative fence. We install wood. Dura fence . Aluminum fencing any style . We work residential and commercial and industrial work.

"Ultra Fencing started the project with several issues to occur throughout the project. 1) The first issue to occur was when their contractor came to dig the holes in which the damaged FPL lines and AT&T fiber optic line which put my neighbors electricity. 2) The second issue was that the holes were dugout were not done right ; the posts were set incorrectly and the holes were not in a straight line around the perimeter of my property (I have photos and videos throughout the process). 3) The third issue was the gate door was delayed due to door maker needing to leave the country and I was give a temporary door with no locks or a sense of security to my backyard/home. 4) Inspectors from the Miami-Dade County came two separate times and the fence failed inspection; the fence was wobbling, the aluminum posts were not installed. The inspector spoke with the company and told them they needed to put the aluminum post and concrete in the PVC posts which they failed to do. This is all documented on the permit. 5) The owner of Ultra Fencing, Lazaro Torres, was extremely unprofessional and never communicated to me about when the project would be completed, nor when the fence workers would arrive to my home. I attempted several phone calls, texts and emails to get in connect with him with the failed inspections and I never got a call back. 6) Lastly, his workers showed up April 15th.2024 at 10:30 am to remove the fence without my knowledge. It made me extremely uncomfortable and had to put my daughter in a position to speak to the workers about not starting the removal until I had clear written consent from Lazaro by text to continue with the work. I am honestly so disappointed in my experience with how this went after going through all the proper channels to get my fence done right. I now have no fence and lack of privacy and security worries me."
