According to their brochure and salesman, I was getting a "Legend Impressions Fence" made by Master Halco. After the fence was installed, we saw it was a "Barrette" Fence which is one of Home Depot's Proline Fences. They insisted that it was the same fence. It may have looked the same, but it was not the fence indicated in the contract.

Response from First Fence of Georgia
First Fence performs at the highest level of integrity and would NEVER switch products on a project. We complete over 2,000/year and have NEVER been accused of doing such a thing and we never would. First Fence was contracted to install Master Halco Legend Impressions PVC fencing on this customer's property. Legend Impressions is manufactured by Barrette, a multi-national manufacturer that makes many different outdoor products for many wholesalers and retailers around the world. We offered to provide the customer proof that First Fence purchased their materials from Master Halco, a national distributor of fence products, by presenting a copy of the purchase order, invoice, and went as far as having the local branch manager meet with the customer post-installation to inspect the project and confirm that the product is Master Halco Legend Impressions PVC, a premium product with a lifetime warranty. He did so. After the installation, the customer demanded a discount even though we completed the project as contracted. If we did something wrong, we would correct the problem. If we installed the wrong product, we would tear it out and install the correct one. First Fence refuses to be intimidated by customers' threats when we did absolutely nothing wrong. Again, we are a company of integrity with very high principles and always will be. We hope that our reputation speaks for itself.

Experience was very good and I highly recommend them. The quote process was fast. The estimator arrived on time, explained to me the plan and got electronic copy of the quote. They also responded quickly to any followup questions. Initially, their quote was not the lowest, but they happily matched it. I also liked it that they sent me reminder emails when their crew is going to come and what to expect. On the fence install day, the crew was polite, professional and fast. They arrived on time, very organized and did their work fast. The workmanship was very good too. There was no need for rework or corrections.

EXCELLENT!! Russell in sales did a great job understanding what we wanted, was very responsive to calls/emails and design changes. Great guy to work with. The crew showed up on time, was very friendly and professional and worked diligently all day. They showed up the next day early, worked diligently again all day (never saw them take a break) into early evening and finished a day ahead of schedule and left the site clean. The fence is beautiful, sturdy, and of excellent quality.
Description of Work: Purchased new home on 1/2 acre and needed combination wood privacy fence as well as 6' and 4' metal (alum) fence on a yard with varying elevations and some very dense wooded areas.

Installation was done very well but it took much longer (3days) than expected and one day they did not show up until afternoon. However, they worked hard and did a good job. It did take quite a while between the quote and the actual installation as they seem to be very busy.

Initial job went well - installed entire fence in one day. However, I had asked that they replace existing fence in same footprint as original; they put back wall of fence a foot or so further back. When I called about the problem, it took a week for someone to get back with me. Ultimately, it took more than a month and two trips to get the problem resolved and then the staining did not get scheduled until over 2 months later. Although there were some weather challenges, I really feel like the entire process took too long. Workers were professional and ultimate job is of good quality. My impression was that they took on too many jobs to handle in a timely manner. They could also do a better job of keeping the customer informed when there are delays.

We at First Fence believe that the true measure of a company's integrity is not how they behave when everything goes smoothly but how they react when challenges arise. Construction projects have many variables. We are glad that you are ultimately happy with your fence project and the quality of our work. Please understand that the delay in staining your fence was in your best interest. The moisture content in newly installed pressure treated lumber is too high to allow the stain to properly penetrate into the [Member Information Removed]. By allowing your fence to dry, the resulting stain application will look a lot better and last much longer. We take pride in our work and want your fence to look the best possible for years to come.

We got quote from 4 different companies but decided to go with First Fence for several reasons: our next door neighbor has been happy with the work they did for him; they seemed like the highest quality work and materials for not much more (heavy duty gate hardware, aluminum nails, cedar gate frames, etc for about 20% more than the other quotes); they could get us on their schedule fairly quickly (others were scheduling a month or more out). It was estimated the job would take 1.5 to 2.5 days of work. The two man crew showed up at 8am on the scheduled day and, after confirming the fence and gate locations, got right to work. They worked right through some medium rain when I thought they would have to stop. The two guys worked so hard in fact that they were able to finish the job completely by 6pm the same day! We did the walk-through inspection and everything was great. It's been over a month now since the job and we are 100% happy with the work.
Description of Work: Install new fencing and replace some old fencing. We wanted 6' privacy fence on the street facing areas with a 4' walking gate on one side and an 8' double gate on the other side, about 120' of 5' black vinyl coated chain link to close off on side of our property, and about 30' of 6' cedar privacy fence to replace an old broken down section of ranch fence in the back corner of our yard.

We were very pleased with First Fence and would absolutely use them again. When the fence was initially installed, we noticed some issues and First Fence sent out another crew to investigate our complaint. The matter was resolved satisfactory and we have nothing but complimentary praise for First Fence. Everyone was courteous, communicative and punctual. What more could one ask!!

They were expensive and the materials weren't as good as I thought they should have been. They did do a good job. None of the materials were that good. As far as them coming out and doing what I need done with regards to the installation I would give them an "A".

First Fence of GA did a great job rebuilding our fence gate. We had a double gate that was previously broken and sagging and they reconstructed it with new materials and it works great! The amazing thing was how quickly they were able to do this - they had it rebuilt within 45 minutes of arriving at our home and it is very good quality. They arrived when they said they would, and completed the work very efficiently. We were concerned about it sagging again in the future (as our last gate had), so they listened and rebuilt it in a way that it was "lighter" and wouldn't pull down over time. I appreciate their professionalism, their concern about our feedback in the process and completing the job in a very timely manner. I would definitely use them again in the future.

David Barrows came to my home to assess the repairs that would be needed. I don't think I've dealt with a nicer sales representative in quite a while. He was attuned to my concerns about the cost of repairs, and he could not have been more thoughtful. Tricia Ball, who works in their office, was also very nice and professional. If I do decide to replace my existing fence, I would definitely contact this company. I highly recommend them.

For weeks we went back and forth via email and telephone with First Fence of Georgia negotiating prices and comparing fence styles. They were patient, professional and kind. When we zeroed in on a fence style and price, they set up contracts and we signed them. All was well. Then we received a call that the original price we had agreed on for that particular fence style was incorrect. That it was actually $1000.00 more than the price given and that we all had agreed on. They were very apologetic and offered to do something else at a reduced price but we were profoundly disappointed and no longer trusted them since this resembled a "bait and switch" tactic. Unfortunately the order was cancelled and we cannot recommend First Fence of Georgia. Update: First Fence followed up on the mix up and corrected the error. They fulfilled the original contract at the originally agreed upon price. They did exactly what they agreed to do. You can't expect more from a company. Sad to say but I rarely see business people applying the principle that the "customer is always right" nowadays. However, First Fence of Georgia not only believes it, they put their money and their work to prove it. Outstanding.

Response from First Fence of Georgia
This was a very unfortunate event which now seems to be on the path to be rectified. As was mentioned by the customer, there was much back and forth on varying fence styles and prices between our customer and the estimator. We had distinguished ourselves as the company this customer wanted to work with. An error was eventually made when the estimator accidentally underpriced one of the proposed versions and the customer, for good reason, chose to go with this style. The estimator took it upon himself to reach out to the customer to correct the error. The customer, rightfully so, was unhappy with the requested pricing increase. Once management was made aware of this incident, the decision was immediately made to install the fence and the original price provided by the estimator even though it will result in a substantial loss to the company. In this case, something that sounds too good to be true is actually going to be true. Steps have been taken to hopefully keep this from happening again including training for the estimator. Management has reached out to the customer and he has gladly accepted our offer and scheduled his fence installation. We hope that the customer will be thrilled with the finished product and will recommend First Fence as a quality company of extreme character once the project is completed. We know that most fence companies would have walked away and not accepted the loss. That's one of many differences between us and our competitors. Thank you for your understanding and we commit to become a better company by learning from this experience.
