Installers came out 3/15/16, well within time range given. Not the most professional appearance, but friendly enough. They walked through with me to verify work to be done, then got to it. They dug holes, placed the posts, and poured cement, then attached the fencing and ran the bottom wire (left no protruding wire ends). Outside of a little turned earth, there wasn't any leftover mess. Installer walked the fence with me to check it out, and make sure I was satisfied.
I can't remember if it was the sales rep or the installer, but I asked one of them about our neighbor's fence. It was stretched and warped along the bottom in some places, and I asked whether I should go ahead and ask the neighbor if we could get a bottom wire put on it; instead, they suggested that we purchase some railroad ties from Lowe's to lay across the back of the yard, which would also help a little with erosion. Very impressed at them not taking the quick buck, that's always the way to guarantee my return business. Final price was exactly as quoted.
As far as satisfaction, it's been 3 months now, and no issues. All posts still vertical, all fence still intact, and no gaps or anything. Even more pertinent, our neighbors asked who did it; they were so impressed, they're thinking about having SK replace their old fence, too!
We have a roof that is over 20 years old, as well as older wooden siding. SK will definitely be on the top of my list when it's time to have more work done!
Tom from Sand K called that day and set up an appointment for beginning of next week. He arrived promptly and gave me an estimate for both jobs of $1725 which including fixing the one side and replacing the fence with the large gate. My biggest concern was the first fence falling over and I thought the estimate was reasonable for the work,. I decided to just repair the first side and hold off doing the longer side since the fence is functional. When I called to see if I was committed to both jobs, Tom told me I could just go with the repair and we could hold off on the other. He originally had estimated work would be done in 3-4 weeks, by the end of the month. I was pleasantly surprised to come home from work and find the fence repaired within 10 days. I am very relieved that with any wind or snow and ice accumulation this will not fall over!
We are thrilled with their work. The crew who did our work were of Hispanic origin, but the language difference did not pose a problem since their foreman spoke English clearly. There was a slight problem on the first day in which the foreman had been told to remove just the aluminum siding. Some of the wrap was already being installed when we realized that they had not taken the old siding underneath off. I took the contract out. The foreman called his boss to clear up the matter. He was courteous, saying that there had been a misunderstanding, and they removed the wrap and tore the shingles off as the contract indicated.
Our house was transformed by the siding and it looks better than it has looked in the 20 years we have lived here. The workers worked with no interruptions. Things were done precisely. They were conscientious about cleaning up the residue of tearing off siding, etc. I think that they had a strong sense of pride in their work.
We had been disappointed by previous contractors who did not give us estimates or come when they said they would come. It was a pleasure working with SK Home Improvement. Their reliability and their high quality work is much appreciated. We will invite them back to work on future projects.
