Get matched with top driveway gate pros in Algonquin, IL

"Invanbis very professional, knowledgeable, prompt and considerate of your property!"

"Mike and his team did an excellent job from beginning to end! He went over some pricing on different types and let US decide, but also gave his advice. Due to weather, the project had to wait a little longer, but Mike kept in contact and did what he said he was going to do in the initial meeting. We have a very sloping yard and Mike wasn't happy with one of the gate placements and came back out and changed it to make it right. I definitely recommend using Tristar Landscape and Fencing!"

"Had a great experience with this company. Rolando and his crew installed a custom fireplace and renovated my backyard. Communication was great from start to finish of the project and always had a clean work area which is a big plus since I have young children."

"Much better than expected. Quality materials and workmanship."

"I recently had the pleasure of having Mark do some work for me installing several household appliances, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. Mark arrived on time and came fully prepared with all the necessary tools. He took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. The installations were completed quickly and efficiently, and he even went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfectly aligned and functioning properly. I highly recommend Mark for any handyman needs. I’ll definitely be reaching out for future projects!"

"Absolute dream landscape crew. From the setup appointment, to the quality of the work, to the price. Highly impressed. I have been searching for a landscape team for years, and can now say I have found one I will keep!"

"Americana did excellent job installing our fence. Our sales representative was Mike Joudeh and he was very honest and caring. The girls in the office were amazing as well as our installation team. From beginning to ending everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Americana to anybody who needs a fence . Great job."

"They completed it in about a week from the original estimate. They do excellent work, very impressive craftsmenship and the quality of the product is excellent."

"I decided not to use them again in the future because they were unresponsive.

Theydid finally call me back and said they had left me a message several days before that they couldn't make the appointment due to a family issue.  I believe them, but think they left the message on some other number as I had nothing on my machine. I give them credit for trying, but I wish they had kept trying until actually reaching me in person."

"At first I received two quotes, 1 from Aspen Fence and 1 from Golden Fence. In hind site I should have used Golden Fence. (sorry Golden Fence)
I picked Aspen Fence because their proposal looked to be more professional, so I justified the extra $250 that they were because of that.
The problem was that I had two gates on the project and Golden Fence included 4x6 posts on BOTH gates and Aspen didn't include any  larger posts on either gate. I spoke with Jeff at Aspen and he wanted to charge me extra for adding the larger posts and I had to twist his arm to up-size the posts at ONE gate for no extra charge.
Then Jeff called me 12 hours before his guys were going to show up and asked me if I got the permit when I was under the impression he was getting the permit so I had to pay extra for that and I had to pull favor with the village to expidite it thru the system.
Then when the guys showed up the asked my wife "where do you want us to put the dirt from the holes". WHAT??? Since when does a contractor give you a price to make holes and a mess and ask you where to put the spoils? I've been in construction and construction project management for 30+ years, I've NEVER had a contractor ask me where to put the trash and spoils they generate. You make it you take it! So I called Jeff to ask him his thought on that and he said "well we never take the dirt away, we usually spread it around the property where the customer wants it". He told me he would charge me extra to take the dirt away ($7/hole) and I had something like 22 holes so he wanted to charge me another $150 to take his trash away.
I informed him he should've spelled that out on his quote and he said I was the first to have a problem with it.
Needless to say I wasn't blown away with the whole "Aspen experience" and I would caution anyone considering using them. If you're getting a bid from them NAIL THEM DOWN IN WRITING about EVERYTHING!!!! Time, duration, drawings, details, permits, spoils, layout........
The workmanship was fine and they did come back out to fix some things free of charge but I just wanted to share my experience.
Good luck and God bless to you all.
