Overall, it went well. I had my whole backyard fenced in which included 3 single gate openings. The owner's father took the yard measurements and was quiet but friendly. When the 3 man crew arrived, they began doing the job without hesitation. The leader of the group used some profanity out in the open which is never professional. He was trying to correct something one of the other two wasn't doing right, but this is a big turn-off for me. Even one of the workers made a comment about how this makes their company look bad. I overlooked it, but in hindsight should have said something.
I think they did a good job overall, but I did inspect the fence more closely after the job was finished and did see some minor details left for me to do. For example: ties holding the fence to the top running bars left untightened. Some pieces of hardware were spray painted, I guess because they were silver and not black. The painting could have been done a little less messy and without painting over grass that was attached to the hardware. Some of the bottom edges of the fence were not intertwined and fastened as they should have been, and again, I took care of this myself. They also hit an underground sprinkler head that would have cost me $110, but I did the repair myself. When they did hit it, it was like, "Well, at least we only hit one", instead of apologizing.
About a week after the fence was up, my neighbor ran his riding mower too close to my fence, catching it and pulling it way out of shape. That's another story about my neighbor, but brought it up for my last comment with Economy Fence. I called Economy Fence to ask them if they had any suggestions on how to fix the stretched-out fence. I wasn't wanting anything from them but maybe some suggestions to remedy the problem. Unfortunately, they never returned my phone call. I repaired it the best I could.
***Jim from Economy Fence sent out staff within two days of posting to pick up the posts and concrete. The problem has been resolved.***
Workers showed up and installed fence in the rain (and lightening) which was surprising. Gates were each put on backwards, causing portions of the fencing to be bent from forcing them to fit. Fence on one side of the house was so far away from the house that my 75 pound dog could exit from there (very easily). Fence was pounded in, causing the black paint to chip, and it's now rusting in that area.
Had to provide pictures to the vendor to have them come out and fix them. All items were fixed. Overall, a hassle.
I wish I could provide those pictures to Angie's List.
