Fairfax Chimney and Fence installed the original fence that surrounds my end-unit townhouse over a decade ago. They had been chosen originally by a rental agent, but I decided to call them -- as well as a few other providers -- for a quote for repairs.
Hands down, Fairfax Chimney and Fence was the most responsive. John, the owner, visited my property within 24-48 hours of my original call, whereas I am still awaiting a call back from one of the other service providers I contacted.
I didn't accept John's first quote, which suggested repairs a little more ambitious (and expensive) than I was willing to undertake at the time. (Now that I'm on a fixed income in retirement, I have to be a little more careful.) I explained my predicament, and John came up with a quote that was a little over half of the original for a smaller project. I accepted, and a few days later, two workmen came out to do the necessary repairs.
Not only did Fairfax Chimney and Fence replace all the vertical and horizontal fence boards we had talked about, the workmen also used long wood screws to nail down a deck board that was beginning to warp (not a part of the original quote) and to make some minor repairs on the fence gate when they noticed a problem. Again, this was not a part of the original quote. The workmen were efficient and polite, and they cleaned up after themselves.
I called John to tell him I was pleased with the project and to ask an additional favor -- whether I could delay the payment by a few days until I got a new credit card so that I could get mileage points by charging this job to the new card. John said he had been in a similar situation a few times, and he agreed to the short delay. Everything has now been paid and I just need to stain the new boards (once they weather sufficiently) to have the entire fence look practically brand new.
Fairfax Chimney and Fence did a great job, and I would have no hesitation is using them again or recommending them to others.
We purchased our house a year ago and shortly after moving in we hired Fairfax Chimney to sweep our chimneys. We burned a fair amount of wood last year and thought we need to get our chimney swept again. John arrive right on time. He inspected our fireplaces and said they looked good so they did not need to be swept - he charged us only $20 for the inspection. John also replaced our Chimney caps which were rusting and falling apart. He also placed a piece of metal between the two caps which has eliminated smoke entering our lower level through the second fireplace.
Overall - great job and would highly recommend this company!
