"We have used Paramount in the past and were pleased with the service. Not this time. I called to have someone come out to give an estimate of reseating two posts that had heaved over the winter affecting a gate. At the same time I requested an estimate to replace a lower rail that had been broken by workmen in our neighbor's yard. I asked that the estimate for the rail to be separated so I could show it to the neighbors for payment. The separate price for the broken rail was $550 because they would have to remove and reset two posts. My neighbor thought that was excessive and I should have believed him. When the workmen came they reset the two gate posts without any issue. Then they replaced the rail without having to do any post resetting. When I called they offered me a $75 refund. So replacing the rail cost me $475. The total job was a little over $1400 which I had to pay in advance. I will never use Paramount again."

Financing available. Family owned business. No Overtime Charges for our Service Club Members. Free in home quotations for new HVAC equipment. $74.00 service call fee for HVAC repairs and diagnostics, Customer will be quoted a price to correct before work is done. Please visit our website www.allenheatcool.com

"BUYER BEWARE!!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME & MONEY. Owner is extremely unprofessional. I have reached out to the company a total of 5 times. Before coming to this point of leaving this review. I am now out over $7.5k. I hired allen heating and cooling to replace my 26 year old AC and 10ish year old furnace on May 2022. They have since been out on 4 occasions to try to get it to function properly. Once in December of 2022 in which they turned up the blower motor and turned down the gas. Because my home was 50 degrees and wouldn't heat. Then 3 times from April-May because the AC cant reach temp. All 3 times with no explanation as to why my AC wasn't properly functioning. No leak. Added freon just to be safe. But no other explanation and after every visit they said they'd let Tom know. Following every visit I'd have to email and call the office and explain its STILL not working. During these visits my caps where left off my AC the first time as photographed. Damaging the valve which was discovered on the 4th visit on the exterior unit. My interior unit was never put back together right the last visit.. and after ALL THESE VISITS and missed time at work. I spent THOUSANDS of dollars for a HVAC unit that has functioned less then 50% of the time I've had it. The owner has not ONCE reached out personally to handle this issue. The front desk staff just continues to send out techs & Tom continues to not take responsibility for the poorly installed system his buisness put in. Not standing by his contract terms or "worry free guarantee". I have done my part. I use the cheapest filters. I have air deflectors. Weather stripping. Blackout curtains & a great thurmostat. My AC functioned perfectly prior and was only replaced due to age along with the furnace. There is no excuse why after over $7.5k I do not have a working HVAC system. The company needs to stand by their work and rectify the situation. The company also gives a nice little discount for any customers who leaves a 5 star review.... if u look at how many negative reviews they have and the argumentative replies from the buisness to anyone who has something negative to say... well.. I see why they have to do this. I have provided photos to show what I've gone through with each visit and documented as much as possible to share. I have tried to be nice and gave the company way to many chances. I'm all for supporting local businesses and thought that this was a truly reputable buisness to go with as a 23 year old woman at the time just wanting the best for my first home. However I can't help but feel like I've been completely taken advantage of at this point. So I hope this review saves others from being in my same situation."

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:

Pros

  • Long lifespan with proper maintenance

  • Very durable

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Functional as well as decorative

Cons

  • Requires regular maintenance and cleaning

  • Expensive compared to other fence materials

  • Limited privacy

DIY is possible for small sections. Professional installation ensures proper alignment and durability for larger projects.

Whether metal fence posts need concrete depends on the environment and the ground they're placed on. For thick earth and areas without significant weather or high wind, you can get by without concrete, but in areas with weak dirt and strong seasonal weather, it's a good idea to install a concrete base on each individual post. This increases the cost but not as much as replacing or reinstalling the fence would.

The distance between fence posts is guided by the terrain you’re installing them on, the purpose of the fence, and the material it’s made of. For the average wooden garden fence, posts should be about 6 to 8 inches apart. But if you’re going with a mesh, wire, lattice, or chain link fence, you could set the fence posts anywhere from 6 to 25 feet apart. 

Options include ornamental designs, custom gates, and various finishes. Consult with your installer for customization.
