Thank you so much for the wonderul comments. Says a lot when you are able to please a customer over a 19 year span! Of course it probably helps that a lot of the people that were here 19 years ago are still here today! Thank you again for taking the time to write a review and post some truly kind words about us.

This is the third fence that Glidden has put in for us. Again, they did a great job from start to finish. They removed an old fence, carted away the debris and replaced it with a new one. A visiting dog had knocked over a portion of our old fence (18 years old!) and we needed it replaced quickly. We were concerned because it was winter but they assured us they could do the work and they did. They were prompt, professional and fair with the pricing.

They were very good. They were always on time whenever they said they would be here for something. They worked quickly and it was a good experience with them, it was really pretty painless. They did what they said they were going to do in a timely manner and were in & out quietly, not big deal. I would definitely use them again.

We didn't have them do any work for us. The estimate that they gave was very high and I didn't like the person who came out, as I thought that he was condescending. I felt that the job was too small for him or something. He was here along with his crew fairly quickly. They came out on the same day I called them. He was terribly unprofessional, but not mean. He was not really eager to help.

Okay, this is the strangest report I have read to date. I looked up his bid which we ran for him on May 19, 2009 not April. Our estimator does not travel with a crew so I am thinking that this Angie's List member confused us with another company. We do many little jobs each year and this estimate was for more than just replacing a board or adjusting a gate so to us it doesn't even qualify as a little job. Very confusing report. Wendy

Could NOT have gone better. Sean showed up at 9:00 AM on the dot just as scheduled. I have seen the silly things on here about missing an appt by 20 minutes etc. Having worked for years in the services business I don't think people appreciate how hard it is to run projects and be across town at the exact time you are trying to be there. After arriving Sean introduced himself and did a walk around to get a quote together. The price he proposed was by far the best we recieved and the materials were first rate. When I added in the pay early discount and the Angies List discount we saved over $300. We went ahead with the order on a Wed evening and by Thursday the next week the complete install was done. The fence looks great. What really did it for me was Wendy or someone from the company calling AT&T to let them know that they accidentally cut a wire out back. For the record the entire neighborhoods phone lines go thru my yard so there was no way to avoid this. The next morning the AT&T guys showed up and we never had to lift a finger. It turns out it was a dead line anyway but just the follow up showed by Glidden was a real differentiator. It looks like my two neighbors are going to have fences installed by them as well. When I told Wendy this she reminded me to use my referral cards and they would send me $25 for each one that moves forward with the project. I can't recommend Wendy, Sean and their crew enough. -Tom

Thank you so much for the page of happiness nomination and all of the kind words. I think this is my favorite report this year! You hit on everything. I don't think I could express my gratitude properly even if I used all 4500 characters that I am allowed! So I will simply end with Thank you, thank you, thank you. We have been with Indiana Underground since it first started. As a matter of fact we were the 54th contractor to get signed up! We follow all of their guidelines and always report a cut line even if we think it is a dead line. It's the right thing to do and that's the way we operate!

WOW, the entire process was a pleasure. From Sean doing the estimate, to Wendy on the phone answering all kind of questions we had. You can really see that everyone really cares about their product! Fence was built when promised and to our wishes, We chose the board on board with 2 gates. even with all the questions we had a little bit of a mix up... they quickly fixed the issues. I would highly recommend this company!

They did a good job. I had a few concerns about how it was supposed to rain when they came out. They did a good job of reassuring me and explaining all of the guarantees. They came out right when they said that they would. I was pleased that they were careful around my vegetable garden. I thought that the price was reasonable, however I did not get any other estimates. I have found some splitting with the wood, however the fence looks very good. I would hire them again in the future.

I would not entertain using this company again.
Description of Work: Scheduled an estimate for a fence build in our backyard. The Glidden employee was 25 minutes late, and interupted a meeting with the home builder already in progress. When I mentioned him being late, the employee stated that he had been "driving around" looking for the place and calling my contact number. I had no missed calls or voicemails with excellent reception in an subarban part of Indy. The estimate was dropped off to my realtor in the front of the home with no explanation.

I have refrained until know from posting a comment on this report. Every time I read it, I am dumbfounded. My mom always said, "If you are right, don't defend yourself, it only makes you look guilty." When I was young, that comment only made me mad because I would think, "I'm only defending myself because I am NOT guilty and I'm upset by the accusation." So I have written to this post and deleted it every time because I did not want to come across as angry or justifying. All I'm going to say is this. By my clock, Sean was exactly 11 minutes late. He did apologize for being lost in a subdivision loaded with dead ends. The other person was early as we were told the husband had another appointment with the inspector at 1. It was raining that day and after walking the yard Sean's boots were covered in mud. He knocked on the door to present the estimate and the realtor answered the door. She took the estimate from Sean and he, seeing the member standing at the kitchen counter, asked if he had any questions to which the member answered, "If I have any questions, I'll call you." We did get a call from the number that we had left a message with requesting guidance to the home. Unfortunately I, the office girl, wrote down the wrong number. I was honestly offended by the report as they went out of their way to lie. Yes, we were late. Yes, we apologized profusely. I am going to chalk this up to someone having a bad day and taking enjoyment in trying to ruin a good companies reputation and nothing more. I hope this does not come across badly as this report still upsets me. I am going to blame those emotions on the fact that I am now 4 months pregnant! To anyone reading this, We are an Awesome Fence Company with a great staff and a great finished product. If you allow us the opportunity to BUILD your fence, I can promise you will walk away happy!

The work looks great! They were very careful of my neighbor's plants. The fence is solid, straight and good looking. The workers were very nice and answered my questions. I wish I had called them two years ago. I would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: My cedar fence had been "repaired" two years ago by another company and now it was leaning again. The new cedar posts put in by the other company were not working. I was also uncomfortable by the demeanor of the people from the other company--didn't come when they said they would, and seemed unpleasant and unapproachable. So when the representative from Gllidden came out I was pretty blunt--in a nice way--but I said i wanted the repair to be lasting and I wanted repair people who would be approachable. He said no problem--the repairs would be guaranteed and I would like the people who came out.

We had the estimate done one week and the fence built by the end of the second week. They were even able to be a bit flexible with the price. If you give them customer number 40590R you can get an additional $20 off your fence or deck installation. While the price was high, the quality of work makes up for it (and it was comparable to another estimate we received). They explained we would probably have to restain in 4-5 years but that seems pretty reasonable. We are very happy with our fence!
Description of Work: Glidden provided us with an estimate for a shadow box (red cedar) privacy fence. We were very impressed with their professionalism and suggestions to meet our needs. They actually came out twice to give us a new estimate when we changed our minds. We were impressed with their documentation (warranty and information on the wood used).

I think it went great. I had three companies that I got estimates from. They all came on a Friday. One company did not give me a written estimate and could not get back with me until Monday. Glidden had prompt response in coordinating with checking with underground utilitites and get the job done by the deadline. There were a couple delays, but they had reasonable explanations for them. They were able to get it up by Friday deadline. It is high quality fence and the work was done well. It was excellent craftsmanship. In addition to the fence they are putting up, I am putting up a couple sections of vinyl fence on myself and they provided some great information for completing the project.

All we can say is we were very sorry for the mishap. We did attempt to get an estimator out immediately, but were told we were already 10 minutes late and he would be moving on with another company. In life, mistakes happen. We realize that and have tried to improve our game. This is just another mistake that has brought to our attention other ways to improve our office in hopes of making it more efficient! We do still have that human factor so... we will be vulnerable to making mistakes until we die!

This job was fantatic. Glidden came right out to give an estimate and we sent it through the homeowners association approval process. They were extremely helpful and felxible during the process as we made some changes to the original plan. Tom the owner came out to draw the string line and the crew came the next day to set the posts. Two days later the fence was completed. It's beautiful and the quality is very high - it looks to be of higher quaity than the fences built by other companies in the neighborhood. We are EXTREMELY pleased.

I had them out last year to give a quote, now this year I was ready to get started. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the quote after all that time. And that is where my story begins: I decided to log onto Angie's list to get info to reestablish contact. The email address, as reported on Angies list is incorrect (or unmonitored). Three business days after submitting an email, I called them on the phone. I asked if they had my estimate from the prior year, and they did. I asked that they emailed it to me so that I can look it over. They were very responsive, and emailed me the quote. I replied to the email that was sent to me, asking for pricing on a different fence style (something they said they could do). Two business days later, I hadn't gotten a reply, so I called them again, I left a message with whoever answered the phone. A week went by with no one contacting me. If this is how they treat potential customers, I can't imagine how they treat actual customers. I went with another company for an $8400 fence. I don't know what the issue was?
Description of Work: Attempting to get a quote to build a fence. Made the mistake of using email, instead of phone call. I found out that the phone call didn't work either! After repeated attempts I couldn't get anyone to provide me with an updated quote. So, I went elsewhere.

I am not sure what happened here. I remember pulling that original quote to be emailed but do not know anything about a phone call for a different quote. We did have some temporary help in the office this year due to my grandmother needing time off for medical reasons. All I can say is sorry and I wish we would have gotten the message. Hope you enjoy your fence and sorry for letting you down. I really do not know what happened but to all of those out there, we would love to build your fence.

They were great. They showed up on time and completed work perfectly as promised. They tried to use existing fencing where repairs could be made. They replaced what could not be reused. Their estimate was competitive with the others I received. I felt like they were trying to offer me a quality job while trying to keep the cost down. They are professional and honest. I would recommend them.

First they never showed for my estimate appointment.....I had to call them and they had messed up the time and date. Second, the job was not done right. The fence post they put in was cut 4 inches shorter than the top of the fence.....very little concrete was put in the hole to hold the post, and they never touched the rehang of the section of the fence. I called, they sent the crew back over later......then the crew lied to me that they did the job previously....but I knew they did because they told me they were sending the same crew that had done the work. So, I had to oversee them that they corrected the problems. Finally, they sent me an incorrect invoice saying I owed $245 when the estimate was for $245 minus $50 for messing up the appointment. When I called about ther error on the invoice.....they had the nerve to say they would not do any more work for me because I was upset with their company!!!!! I had already told THEM....I would NEVER use their company again...nor would I recommend them to anyone else!!!!

My 80 year old grandmother set up an appointment for a repair at 4:30 on a Wednesday and then accidentally put the estimate in the anytime slot because it said repair estimate on the cover. We apologized severely for the missed appointment to no avail. After being yelled at for over 5 minutes I finally said, “Look I am not going to fire my grandmother. She’s 80, I love her and she simply made a mistake. I am not sure what you want. Did you call to simply yell at me or do you still want an estimate? If you would still like an estimate, I can have someone there in 15 minutes.” He said to send someone over and Jeff was there within 15 minutes of his call. We should have never agreed to send someone over because he was extremely irate and rude and demanded I fire my grandmother for the mistake. From that point everything went downhill. The repair was not done to his satisfaction and he called Jeff to complain. Jeff said we would send a crew back over to take care of his complaints. When two of our men went back to the job he immediately began yelling at them never talked, just yelled. Our guys called into the office and we could hear him in the background screaming at them and telling them they were liars. Jeff dropped what he was doing and raced to the job to settle things down. He was quite shaken over what he had heard on the phone. This man informed our crew leader (not a family member) that he was a man hunter and he better be careful. Among other simply unspeakable words and outrageous language, he also told our guy that my grandmother was stupid and called her by various cuss words and yelled that I was a problem because I would not punish my grandmother. He told our guy every company he has out this year (from A/C to roof to the garage door guys) were all incompetent and all of the companies had to come out multiple times to satisfy him. He was still angry that we had refused to fire or demote my grandmother for her mistake. I would warn all contractors that this man has some real anger issues. In 34 years of business we have never had a customer threaten our men like this. Simply put he is volatile. The last time I talked to him was when he called to yell at us for invoicing him for the full amount. I told him he could simply note the discount and send in the money but he demanded a new invoice with the deduction typed out. We sent that last week and we have yet to be paid. I did tell him at that point that we would send a new invoice and I let him know that we will never be willing to do any work for him in the future at which he began screaming and I simply said “I do not have to take your verbal abuse ” and I hung up.

Glidden installed the fence in Oct 08. Wendy, who estimated the project, did a great job & left me feeling confident that Glidden would be a good company to do business with. Glidden sent out a crew to complete the work within 10 days of when I called to schedule the work. The fence looked great, but the gates looked horrible. Boards on both gates are uneven & jagged along the bottom. The arc cut on the top of both gates is off center & lopsided. Instead of using 6in planks along the whole width of one gate, they've got two 3in planks toward the middle. It's as if they ran out of 6in planks & used two scrap planks instead. One of the boards on the other gate was used as it had pencil marks & nail holes in it. I called Glidden & complained about the gates. I explained what the issues were & that the quaility of the gates didn't match the quality of the fence. They assured me that they'd send someone out to repair the gates. It took a total of three phone calls over a month for them to come out & "fix" the gates. One of the gates they did no repairs on. On the other, they replaced the used board, but didn't fix the poor arc at the top or the jagged bottom. I originally had them finish the fence so that the posts were on the outside. My HOA didn't approve & asked that planks be put up on the outside. I called Glidden at the beginning of Mar 09 & requested an estimate for the additional work. I also explained that I still wasn't happy with the gates. I was assured that an estimator would be out the following day & that an estimate would be left on my door. The following day came & went & no estimate, nor did I get one by the end of the week. I called Glidden the following Monday to see if they were going to get me an estimate. Rather than have the estimator call me, they gave me his cell number & asked that I call him! I called the estimator, Jeff, & left him a voicemail. Three days go by & no word from Jeff. I called Glidden again, & they try to give Jeff's cell number. I explained that I had already left Jeff a voicemail & that he needed to call me. Jeff finally called me back nearly two weeks after I had requested the estimate. I agreed to the price he quoted & complained about the gates. Jeff assured me that the gates would be fixed to my satisfaction & that the work would be completed by the end of the following week. The following week comes & goes & no work was done. I call Glidden, again, the following Monday & ask why nobody has been out to do the work. Again, they ask me to call Jeff directly. No, you have Jeff call me. Jeff gets back to me the next day & explains that the work wasn't done because it was overlooked & wasn't put on the schedule. He said the work would be completed by the end of the day on Wednesday, which it was, but they didn't fix the gates.
Description of Work: Glidden installed approximately 250ft of 6ft board-on-board cedar fencing and two 4ft gates.

Response from Glidden Fence Co Inc
We installed the original fence in October of 08. He did not call in to complain about the gates until late March, when he had been told he needed to change the way his fence was finished to the neighborhood. The middle of March is the beginning of our busiest time. We like to make our customers happy. He has yet to pay us for the additional work we did do. The repairs to the crowning of the gate were at no cost. I have not heard that he is still unhappy about the gates. I apologize for offering to give him a direct line to Jeff. I guess some people don't like to have a direct line to the person they are working with. I give my cell number to everyone I run a call for so they can contact me. I am not sure what happened with Jeff dropping the ball, but we will work on our customer service. Thank you for your constructive review. Wendy Glidden

I called early the morn after the storm because the fence was down between our neighbor's property and we both have dogs. I assumed they would be very busy and we'd have to get in line. They got out for an estimate that same afternoon(a Thursday)I gave the go ahead and they said it would probably be mid-next week before the repair because the utilities needed marked. The utilities were marked mid-Monday afternoon and a crew arrived several hours later and started mixing concrete for the new posts, did most of the work that afternoon and came back to finish the next morn.
Description of Work: Wind storm blew down about 4 or 5 sections of old 6 foot privacy fence and broke 6 or 7 posts.
