"It went very smoothly from first contact through job execution. Some neighbors had recommended them as a previous contractor never did the fencing job he had promised. In the end, they were less costly and did a fantastic job."

"Fence Pros Direct did a wonderful job fencing our backyard! We recently bought a house after moving to RI from out of state, and moved in with our two pups. The backyard wasn’t fenced though when we moved in, so the dogs couldn’t go out. I called between 10-15 fence companies, and Fence Pros Direct was the only company that could still fit us in this year. Chad came out, measured the yard, and sent us a quote a few days later. While it wasn’t the lowest quote we received, it was well worth it to use to use a company that communicated well, and was able to come out in an efficient timeframe. Less than two weeks from when I originally reached out, our fence was built! The crew that came out to actually set it up was incredibly friendly, & built the fence in just a few hours. It appears to be very sturdy & well constructed. They answered all my questions, and built it exactly as anticipated. Payments can all be made through an e-check portal, and Chad was always quick to answer any emails & phone calls. I would definitely recommend this company for all your fencing needs!"

"Let me start off by saying that Herb is a very nice guy and a hard worker.  It took me  a long time to formulate this review because I wanted some time to sit and I wanted to be fair.  Let me also say that Herb does some things very well and tries hard, but I think people should be aware of both what he does well and what he does not do well. 
I decided on Herb in part because of the schedule he represented (I was having company in a few months and he said he could complete the bathroom on time) and in part price, though he was not a lot less expensive than others I solicited bids from.  In any event, we chose a date with a clear understanding of the date it needed to be completed by.  I live in a older home (built  1925) and it has only 1.5 bathrooms.  Much of the the bathroom was original when I bought the home a year ago.  The bathroom is small and there were no plans (or room) to expand.  It was almost a gut job and replacing tubs, tile, flooring, sink, etc.  Some of the drywall (plaster in this house) stayed as did the ceiling.  I also explained to him three times the detailed plan for what I wanted in the bathroom including "shampoo boxes" that are built into the walls of the shower area.  I also explained that they were labor intensive because of all the tile cutting.  He signed off on it. (I even had the specs of the boxes.)  This was not my first bathroom remodel so I was prepared--I knew what I wanted.
The demo went ok.  The original concrete floor was much thicker than we anticipated, but Herb got through it and the demo was complete in about a day and a half.  Although, in the process, his team cracked and ruined the walls of the adjacent bedroom, stairwell and ceiling below.  (For the most part, he repaired those.)  I was rolling with it since stuff happens.  Almost immediately, I noticed his team dropped by one person.  It was now Herb and one assistant.  That is all fine except his assistant was not allowed to do anything independently.  For example, when Herb was tiling the shower area, his assistant could only run up and down stairs to cut tile instead of working on the plumbing or other items that needed to be done.  He was basically a "gopher" though I am sure he could have done more.  Herb did a good job shimming up the floor joists and making the walls square.  That took awhile, but is obviously worth it.  He gave me an estimate of 2 weeks to finish the job and said that he would work late and weekends if necessary.  By the time he was putting the bathtub in, more than one week had passed.  It was obvious that the bathroom would not be finished on time.  The tiling was painstakingly slow.  It must have taken 4 full days to tile the shower area.  I used subway tile, so it was nothing fancy.  The shampoo boxes, though they turned out great, took forever.  The whole 4 days, his assistant was not allowed to do other work, e.g., the electrical for the heated floor, any plumbing or anything. In any event, needless to say, his promised day came and went and the bathroom was nowhere near ready to use.  Meanwhile, my two kids and I are going to my mom's house to shower. And my company came and the house was a construction zone.
To cut the story down, by the time he left, he was so out of sorts because he had gone way over on time on the job, that he rushed out and made some terrible choices.  My dad is STILL fixing some of the issues we encountered, 2 months later.  My bathroom is not finished.  In all fairness, I did represent to Herb that we would paint.  Easy enough and I have no problem doing that.  It is a good thing too because his finishing work is terrible.  Here were some of the problems:  his trim pieces were too big and not beveled or mitered.  They stuck out and looked terrible.  We replaced those.  He put the curved shower rod so far into the shower that we immediately replaced it, which required us to remove some tiles, replace, and regrout.  He literally took a dirty finger and caulked around the tub so the caulk looks awful, like yellowy; it is terrible against white subway tiles and a white tub.  That still needs to be replaced.  The marble threshhold he put in was cut wrong and caulked terribly.  We still need to replace that.  I went out of town (after the job was supposed to be finished) and had a nightmare that the new toilet blocked the small closet door near it--remember I said old house--quirky too.  Sure enough I came home and the toilet was blocking the closet, yet he still put it in and hooked it up!  The rough in was 15 inches, not 12, yet he failed to discuss that with me when I purchased the toilet, nor did he discuss the option of moving the rough in.  On a day when I just wanted to be able to shower (and should have been able to if the shower rod had been installed) he spent 2 hours in the morning cutting a hole for the new fan only to then read the instructions and discover I needed a hot wire or something different.  I told him to put the old one back up and I would fix it later--which I did.  That two hours could have been spent getting my kids and me into a usable bathroom.
What Herb does well includes working hard, precision work (the tile job looks great) and being generally nice and understanding.  I really feel like he misrepresented his team (he is really a solo guy) and project management.  My bathroom is still not totally finished.  The drain in the sink is slow and the drain was put in crooked, so I want it reset so the gasket does not show, among other things. 
I really like Herb and I would recommend him for smaller jobs or jobs that don't require finishing work.  In addition, the owner of the property should be present to avoid mistakes because his judgment, especially on aesthetics or design, is not up to par in that he hadn't worked enough with these items to have any knowledge that something was not done right.  In fact, he seems like he hasn't heard of many things like shampoo boxes, heated floors (this was his first install) and a curved shower rod.  It was interesting.
If I needed new drywall, if I needed a fence replaced or a window redone or a deck replaced, he would be great, but a whole bathroom was too much for him.  All that said he was also receptive to feedback and wants to do better.

Fencing questions, answered by experts

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.

Glass has one of the longest lifespans of any fencing materials, lasting anywhere from 10 to 30 years on average. Just how long your glass fence lasts depends on several factors, including how well you maintain your fence, the climate, and the type of glass you use. 

If you live somewhere with severe weather like hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes, expect your glass to have a shorter lifespan. Pool glass is one of the thickest tempered glass materials and may last longer than other options—especially compared to laminated glass.

Split rail fencing is a type of post and rail fencing. Other post and rail fences include corral board and post and dowel. Post and rail fencing is the term used for any type of fence with vertical posts, horizontal rails, and nothing else (specifically excluding pickets). So, technically, a split rail fence is a post and rail fence.

Proper installation can make a big difference in your fence's maintenance needs. For example, wood fences that aren't installed correctly can be more likely to rot. While it's possible to DIY a fence installation, hiring a local fence company can mean much less work for you in the long run. 

A professional fence installer will make sure your fence is positioned correctly and installed in a way that ensures longevity and limited upkeep requirements.

The best under-gate dog barrier is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.
