I really enjoyed working with this company. They responded to our call immediately and came out right away to give us an estimate. Their crews started when they said they would, and worked diligently. They installed the fence posts, and built the entire fence board by board. They did not use pre-fab pieces, but installed each individual slat and cross piece. They worked with us to get the sizes of the gates just right, and installed really nice locking latches. Our backyard is not level, and they were careful to level the bottom of the slats so they would look nice. My husband asked them to come back out and cut the fence a little shorter in some places so we could mow and trim more easily, and they did with no complaint. They were easy to work with, and very professional. We recommended them to friends, and they had a very good experience, too.
Description of Work: Glidden built and installed a shadowbox wood fence around the backyard, including installing all posts, 3 gates and latches, etc.

They were rated extremely well, which was one of the reasons I chose them. However, I am not completely satisfied. They were on time and they followed a schedule. They even stayed with the quoted price. I even paid extra for two gates, but neither of them close properly. When I called to see if they could fix the gates or refund the difference in price, they said they would call me back. Four days later they called and told me to adjust a screw. We couldn't find that screw, I need to call them and ask THEM to come back out. Other than that I was reasonably satisfied.
Description of Work: I actually had fencing on both sides and the back, so they just filled in the gaps from the neighbors fence to my house on each side.

I just started going through these comments as I have time and stumbled upon yours. I am a little confused as to what you were told regarding your gates as we service our gates for free in the first year. If you are still having problems, please let me know. I will look up your record and give you a call myself. I am shocked that someone in my office would have told you to adjust a screw. It does not make any sense. Looking forward to talking to you and getting this taken care of. Sorry that I did not see your comment sooner. Wendy

I called Glidden and explained our situation, that we needed a privacy fence installed asap. They were prompt in sending someone out to give us an estimate and just as quick at getting the fence installed. We did get several other estimates. Glidden's price was the best. The salesman described exactly what the work would entail and how long it would take. The work was done exactly as described and in the right amount of time. The workmen were courteous and efficient. They cleaned up after themselves so that there was no mess for us to deal with. We inspected the boards as they directed us to do after the work was done. There were a few boards that we didn't like. Glidden replaced them right away. We would recommend Glidden to anyone wanting good quality work at a fair price.

They came and they cleaned the fence. I was requesting to them to make a bigger gate for it in order to get a big lawn mower through. So they built a double gate and they used part of the other gate to lessen the cost. They got it done quicker than they originally thought it would be done. They inspected the fence on both sides and one side was not damaged as much. They put concrete around the post to keep it in place without charging me. They cleaned the grate around the fence. When I came home I couldn't believe how nice it looked over there.
Description of Work: The water from the floods had shifted part of the fence so they came and fixed it.

This company epitomizes great customer service. Sean, the estimator, was very prompt, informative, and involved both my wife and me in the discussion. He provided a copy, on site, of their license, bond, and insurance, along with great background literature on their products. They really explained why we should chose them over anyone else. Tom Glidden personally came out to measure and layout the fence, gave me his cell phone number, answered every call I made, and ensured that all the work was completed. He even coordinated his work with our landscaper, who needed to remove the world's largest yew in order to install the fence. He made sure everything was right - when I noticed that some hardware on the gate hadn't been replaced, he apologized (which was nice but not necessary!) and had it done the next day. We were supposed to have our gate put in on a Monday, but it didn't get done that Monday. When we called Mr. Glidden to find out what the scoop was, we learned that he'd wanted to have his "gate-specialist" guy on our job site, and he had already been scheduled for another job on Monday. Mr. Glidden had meant to call us to let us know that he had moved our job to Tuesday, but forgot to call. When we called him that afternoon when we got home from work, he was profusely apologetic that he'd forgotten to call us. He really just forgot to call us! We were ok with our fence being built on Tuesday. :-)
Description of Work: Glidden provided us with an estimate, one of two estimates we had for our project. Their price was better than the other company we received an estimate from. So, we hired Glidden to built a 65' long four-foot tall cedar shadow box style fence. They removed an existing fence that was being replaced by the new shadow box fence. They also moved and repaired an existing gate which is connected to a six foot tall stockade style fence.

Wendy Glidden came to my home, showed me several pictures, and worked up the price. I entered into a contract. I indicated that I have a dog and removal of the fence would need to coincide with the installation of the new fence. Wendy stated that on the day the fence would be removed, the new posts would be set and two days later, they would return to install the fence. This was on a Friday. No fence on the following Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. I called on Thursday and spoke with Erin in the front office. She apologized and told me she would check into the matter and call me right back. No call back. I called her and she told me that they would be out to put in the fence on Friday. Friday came and went ... no fence. I called them and Erin put my call through to Jeff (Glidden?). Jeff was extremely rude and made excuses telling me that he wasn't the one who sold me the fence so he isn't responsible. I reminded him that he represents the company. I complained that no one calls to communicate (which, earlier, Erin confirmed stating this isn't their practice to call). Jeff told me I should be speaking with Wendy Glidden. I called Wendy. Wendy told me that Erin, or no one, had told her that I was calling. She apologized and told me that she would check into the matter. She called back and told me the company that supplies their fence (in Indy somewhere) didn't have my fence made yet and that it would be delayed. My fence was eventually installed; however, there were no finishing caps on many of the individual pickets and none of the posts had caps. I called to find out why. Apparently, the company didn't have them made yet. I was told they would be installed as soon as they arrived. To make a long story short, three weeks later, the caps were finally put on the fence and the drama is now nothing more than a terrible experience that I want to put behind me. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if you decide to use them, avoid working with Jeff. Make sure that you work only with Wendy and ask her for her cell phone number so that you can find out the status of your fencing if things go south as they did on my job. For $5,000, one should expect better.
Description of Work: Glidden was paid to remove a wooden picket fence and replace it with a high-quality white vinyl picket fence.

Their phone person was very courteous. She took down my information and someone came out to do an estimate within 2 days. They left a written estimate, complete with a drawing of the area to be repaired. At my request, they had also given estimates on replacing the chain link portion of the fence with other types of fencing. I declined to have that done at this time and instead just authorized the repair work. I mailed in the paperwork and called to ask about having the repair to the chain link corner posts done at the same time which was no problem. They required a 25% deposit; I mailed them a check. Within 3 days, Glidden had arranged for someone to check and mark underground utility lines before they did any digging. The next day, when I came home, the guys were just finishing up the job. The wood fence panel had been uprighted and repaired. The two corner posts on the black vinyl chain link had been straightened and the gate was working properly. They put a new piece of pipe in the ground to hold the bolt that secures the gate. They even spray painted the old scuffed fence caps and rails so they looked like new. The crew was courteous and cleaned up after themselves. I had obtained one other estimate. Glidden was cheaper on the estimate to repair the privacy fence panel and left a thorough written estimate, complete with drawing of my yard in relationship to the house, garage, etc. It was more professional. The total repair costs for both the privacy fence and repair of the black vinyl corner posts were less than an estimate received from a handyman company.
Description of Work: They repaired a section of wooden privacy fence that had blown down during an early spring storm. They also had to replace one of the 4 x 4 posts which had snapped off when the section of fence blew down. That meant digging a new hole in which to set the post, plus reconnecting the panel to the rest of the fence. In another area of the yard, they straightened two black vinyl chain link corner posts that over time had started to tilt due to tree roots.

Glidden was easy to work with. The job was very competitively priced. After they received the down payment, they began work right away, removing the old fence and installing the new one. They did a great job and the fence looks wonderful.
Description of Work: I'm treasurer of my HoA and we hired Glidden to replace an existing fence that was falling down between our neighborhood and another large piece of property. The fence was very long, over 500 feet spanning several homes. The above price is the total cost of the job. We split the cost with the other property owner.

I originally called Glidden to get an estimate on fixing the gates on my chain link fence. The receptionist was extremely helpful and friendly and told me Sean would be the rep to come. He arrived on time and when I showed him the gates, he said he could probably fix them with a hammer. Which is exactly what he did. And by showing me how he did it, I should be able to correct the problem if it happens again. He was probably here no more than 15-20 minutes and didn't even charge me for it. Since I'm now retired and on limited income, that made my day.
Description of Work: Two gates to my chain link fence needed repair. One was hanging by only one bracket and the other was mis-aligned. Sean was able to fix both of them in a matter of minutes with a hammer and showed me how I could repair them on my own if it happened again in the future.
