The crew that came out and installed our fence did fantastic work in such a timely manner. Legacy home exteriors made sure that I was completely satisfied with the work they did and to help make the fence be in my budget. These guys rock and I highly recommended them!

Part of the cleaners left things undone, have to call and get them to come back to finish. Otherwise, great work on restoration after a fire. They try to get it right and I would use them for the complete project.

They are reliable. They are considerate; when its too wet or when it's a long dry spell, they don't just cut it just to charge us. They do a nice job of cleaning up and trimming and the weed control has worked well.
