I expected more durability than what is occurring in this span of nine years.
The salesman, Erik, was efficient and pleasant, and gave the estimate on the spot. After some emailed questions to clarify details about having the fence pre-stained before assembly, we sent the contract and deposit check, along with a confirming email and message through Angie's list. We heard nothing back except a message through Angie's list that "Your order is being processes." I emailed again asking about scheduling, heard nothing. Finally I called, 9 days after I mailed the check, and found that receipt of my check had not put our job on the schedule, we were starting from square one and it would be 3 weeks before they could do the work. The man I spoke with wasn't very nice, acting as though it was ridiculous of me to think that them receiving a contract and check would mean that they would contact me to schedule the work. It doesn't make you feel good about a company when someone acts like your business is an imposition instead of something they are pleased to get, but we went ahead and scheduled the work.
Three weeks later a truck arrived with the fence sections. They were not pre-stained, as stated in the contract. The man said it was too late in the fall for staining, so they could put up the fence and then come back in the spring to stain it. That wasn't what we had agreed on (having chosen them over another company partly because they said they could pre-stain), and we didn't want it to go through the winter unprotected, so we told him to cancel the order. Eric arranged a prompt refund of our deposit.
On the day of the installation, Everlasting was again right on time and did great work. There was a minor scare when it looked like the fence might not fit around a new downspout I had just put in, but they managed to solve that problem too. The final cost was exactly what they estimated.
After they left, I noticed there was a thin (2" wide) strip of wood needed in the section where the fence changed heights from 6' to 4'. It wasn't a big deal, but it created a slight gap in the fence when looked at from a certain angle. I asked them to fix it, figuring it would probably be very, very low on their priority list, given that I'd already paid them in full. In fact, I wasn't sure they'd even bother. But they came by the next week and fixed it perfectly. I was very impressed. The fence looks fantastic and has gotten a lot of compliments from my neighbors. I would definitely recommend Everlasting.
convenient way (I pretended to be carrying a lot of things in my left hand with my right hand free). They were very professional and very nice.
They came to the house to discuss the project. They finished the fence within the time and price they estimated. Initially the latch on the gate was not fitting properly, but when I called them they came right out and repaired it.

The installers arrived as scheduled and the fence looks great.
"[Removed member name], Our sincere apologies for the lack of communication. Our sales reps do about 7 or 8 estimates a day, meet with crews on-site and also have to process the paperwork on a per job basis. Sometimes in this rush, they can't get enough time in the office and their paperwork backs up. When you called the office someone should have helped you out and again, we do sincerely apologize for that. We are glad to hear that you are pleased with the fence though, Red Cedar is such a great looking wood. Thanks!"
