Marion Fence LLC

Not a good experience. I messaged them on Facebook since I saw that many of my "friends" on Facebook had liked their business page, and I thought that was a good sign. I got a pretty quick response, and the guy offered to come the next week to give a free estimate. He even talked about giving a discount since I had teachers in my family, and he told me that he was a teacher also. When he came for the estimate, he was late, but he told me he was running behind and gave me his ETA. So, no problem at all - I appreciated the heads-up. However, when he arrived, he never introduced himself, and he wouldn't look me in the eye. He looked down the whole time, or away. I showed him to our backyard, but I felt like he had absolutely no desire to be there. He quickly walked through my backyard, asked me a few questions, and then that was it. He made no eye contact with me and walked to his truck without ever saying goodbye. I had to follow him to his truck in order to ask a few questions that I had. He told me the estimated price, and then said he would email me (he didn't even have my email). He was probably there for no more than 5 minutes, at best. I messaged him later that night to give him my email so I could get a breakdown of the estimate, and he never responded or sent me anything. Not a good experience and I would not recommend.

This is going to be a super long review. In July we met to have an estimate on having fencing and an estate gate installed. This was not a cheap job at all, this was almost $15,000 in services that he was hired for. In August (when we were finally put on the schedule) we gave him a deposit required to purchase all of our materials. In Sept they finally decided to show up and do "some" work. Always an excuse on why they can't make it or if they do show up it is for an hour here or there. Then 'boom' no contact for days always with an excuse too, oh I didn't see the text or I was driving and I couldn't get to it, my phone wasn't working, I did not know you called, etc. After several calls, texts and emails after leaving him a voicemail that he left gaping holes in my front that if someone walks and falls I can be sued (these holes were about 2-3 feet deep). Still no response. I called and disputed my credit charge for 1 of the 2 payments made. (There is a 3rd one coming up, so bare with me) Still no response. I posted on social media that I was looking to hire a company to finish his work and someone recommended them and I basically put them on blast about their lack of work. Wouldn't ya know it, I got a phone call within 5 minutes! Let's move forward. We are now in October and STILL not completed. He could not get the estate gate because the company was backed up. Keep in mind I paid for this gate back in August and he chose never to order it. Fast forward to now. He finally did get the estate gate up (not completed) on 10/17 and billed me for the remainder. I told him I would pay him the balance in a few days. Still waiting for him to complete the job. Again, lets fast forward. I get a threatening text from him on 10/22 (5 days I waited over 3 months) that there will be a lien on my property, of course it isn't his fault blah, blah, blah🤬😡. Why you ask? Oh, because he did not have the money to pay for the estate gate that I paid for months ago (he still owed them $400 and change and did not have that to pay. Yes, that is right he could not pay his balance of $400 to his supplier. After back and forth telling him if he finished the job, (I had a broken pin pad, missing a sensor and holes all over) he would get paid. Wouldn't ya know it, BAM here and gone in 2 hours, with nothing fixed. I assure you, I am keeping this light and short and leaving out details. Not to mention all the cigarettes' and empty beer cans that were left as well as leaving materials for weeks killing my lawn. All of this for less than subpar work as well. If you are looking for a fence company THIS IS NOT IT! His last several reviews pretty much say the same thing. At one point, he may have had a decent reputation and business, he no longer does. It is never his fault, he never takes blame or accountability for anything and always seemed to blame me or anyone else but him. If you do go with them make sure you get a release of lien BEFORE you pay him so when he doesn't pay his suppliers you are not held liable and make sure you can wait weeks to months to have work done and are ready to dish out extra cash to fix your property (lawn) because he doesn't finish his jobs.

They don’t come when they say they will and do not call either. 1st job was late and not done they way we talked about. The 2nd job what for what they did was not done correct and not finished. Will not even answer texts, Facebook messages and mailbox is full and doesn’t answer the phone. Please don’t pick this company. I had another company fix their mess and he said it’s not the first time he has had to fix their messes.
