At present, we have no issues with the structural integrity and installation of the fences, gate and hardware. (which is why they are given a D evaluation, rather than a total Fail. Our dissatisfactions and concerns have to do with the poor quality of the finish work, and the myriad ways in which they disrespected our property and plantings, and the mess we were left with following their work . Examples: - debris and trash piled in our front yard at their first visit, which was left for two weeks (even after notifying the owner) - wood chips, shavings and sawdust strewn throughout our garage, where we gave them shelter to work on a raw and blustery Nov day - rock, dirt, gravel, concrete chips and paint drippings dumped and left among our perennial beds. Lastly: When I coordinated an on-site follow up with Kevin (owner) to review the work and provide him the balance of the service fee, he acknowledged our concerns and "promised" -- since I was not withholding payment -- to return within a week to address some of the issues. We are still waiting. I would not recommend him for continuation with Angie's list of reputable providers. And while he is a personable and engaging transplant from the Lone Star state, he does not do Texas proud.
Description of Work: I just now submitted (through a reply form emailed to me by your customer management dept) an extensive explanation of the myriad ways which Kevin (owner/operator) and his lead crew-member (Nelson) failed our expectations by disrespecting our property and by failing to follow-up (or keep their word) in addressing our dissatisfactions. If you cannot find the submission, please telephone me and I can go over the issues in detail. AND, as of mid-April, the fence "paint" is now peeling

I did not get to take a good look at the job as they finished because it was one of the hottest days of the summer. They used inferior quality materials and they did poor work. I called them several times within a week after they did the job and they never responded. I tried calling them again just this past weekend and they didn't return my call then either.
Description of Work: I had them install a split rail fence and posts.
