Davis Fence Co

I know that this review is late but people need to know about this company. Mike came out and gave us an estimate and when he found out what the other companies had quoted us he came in with the lowest cost. We agreed upon a start date and signed the contract. He also signed a contract with our neighbor that we share a fence with. they would tear down their old fence the day before they new one was to be installed to save on the labor. they waited til the day before becasue they have 3 Great Danes and having the fence down for a long period of time was not an option. Monday arives and we are waiting on the crew to show. Nothing. no one called no one showed up. We played phone tag with Mike for 3 weeks!! He said there had been too much rain ( we had only one day of light rain) then said that his crew was there and they werent. Once the 2 guys showed up, 2!, my husband mentioned that we really needed to get the fence up and had been waiting for 3 weeks. they told him that we werent even on the schedule till a few days beforehand. What should have taken ( as quoted) 3 days took over 2 weeks to intall , not including the 3 weeks we waited to even start. The guys said that the ground was too hard and it took too long to drill the post holes. once the posts were in the stringers went up and were all crooked. i was told not to worry about it, that i wouldnt be able to see it. wrong. the boards went up and were to go as closeto the ground as possible but be even on top. all the boards were cut to the same length do either they were wayto short and left a huge gap at the bottom or the fence line dipped. the gates were so poorly made and did not have any cross bracing, with in a year we had to square them up and all the hinges needed to be replaced since the gates were to heavy for the small hinge. 5 years out and every gate needs to be replaced since it doesnt latch and our dogs can just push open. we have had to add addiional locks at the bottom since they all sag so much the dogs can easily get out. We have a large double gate that i had been assured would nt be an issue and could be done. the post is not secured to the house and has twisted over time under the weight of the gate and no longer latches. Most than half the stringers are so warped we will have to take sections of the fence down and replace the entire section. the pickets were supposed to be an inch apart, and some sections its 2 to 3 inches. After coming home and seeing all the major issues my husband called Mike and left several messages. We never heard from him again. It makes me sick about the amount of money we spend on such a crap job. we could have done the same thing ourselves and it would have turned out better.

This guy is a joke. Please be aware. He seemed very nice at first. He came to the house and gave us an estimate. Everything seemed fine. He told me to text or call. I did both depending on what I needed to talk about. I called and asked him if he could do 1700 and a 3 yr warranty. He responded with 1750 and a 3 yr warranty. I accepted and then I asked when he would be able to install. He told me he could install the fence towards the end of next week. When time got closer I texted and asked him if we were still on schedule. He did not answer my phone calls or text. He ignored me and still has ignored me. 12 days later and nothing. Not professional and I would NOT go with this company. I have text messages to prove and my call history.

John came out to our property and measured the area we needed fenced. He was able to give us a price. We told John we wanted to hire him to get the fencing done. After that it all went downhill, this guy is a complete joke. He told us that he was going to order the materials and would be able to start the job Monday, but the latest would be Tuesday. (We had a deadline to get the fencing done by the end of that week because we were hosting an event with multiple dogs and wanted the entire property enclosed so they could be outside) Monday we didn't hear from John so we called him and he told us the materials would be in at 11 a.m. and they would start right after that on Tuesday. Tuesday came and by 3 we will hadn't seen or heard from John - so we called again and left a vm. He called us back and said that Wednesday he was having a guy come out to put the posts in, and that they would then finish the entire job on Thurs. I got home from work on Wed and no posts were put in, I called John and left him a voicemail but he never returned my call again. This guy is a flake and we are very upset with the situation - we now have no fence for our weekend deadline and are having to cancel our plans. I would not recommend John or this company to anybody - they don't return calls, he wasted a lot of our time and it looks like he doesn't know how to run a business.
