Fence & Concrete Masters

Vince Anderson of Fence and Concrete Masters took our deposit for fence work, but did not complete our fence. I do not recommend him or his business. If you want to search for the breach of contract or multiple small claims lawsuits against him, you can go to [*** Link removed ***] search for cases in Buchanan County 5th Judicial Circuit, then search by either Fence and Concrete Masters or his name.

BEWARE. We met Vince( the owner) early last November when we needed concrete work done that included a property entry gate and a sidewalk. He was very friendly and seemed to be an honest person. We paid up front for the gate openers $5,500 which was to be applied to our quote for the sidewalk and gates. We had hopes and asked if the sidewalk could be poured before winter hit. That did not happen and we were understanding and flexible with his excuses. However, by the time he poured the sidewalk in March it was done poorly and he agreed to tear out and redo because it was not poured to slant away from the building. After waiting 3 months to be redone we finally had to end our relationship because he would not show up when he said he would. We felt we was not a valued customer and he was putting other jobs before our small job. We would have loved to do business with him if only he would show up and do what he said he would do. It is a very unfortunate situation as we are out of the money and his mess created much work and cost for us to clean up.

I typically would never write a negative review ... .but if I could save someone even half of the trouble we’ve gone through, it’s worth it! We reached out to Vince Anderson and his girlfriend Megan DeAnn, the owners of Fence and Concrete Masters in August of 2022. We planned to have an inground pool installed in September by Clark Concrete (AMAZING). The pool was installed September 19th with another contractor, 120 feet of retaining walls completed by October 6th. Vince with “Fence and Concrete Masters” & his son-in-law, Cody Perry, owner of “No Limit Construction Crew” was contracted for additional concrete around the pool/pool deck, “cool deck” overlay colored to go over the existing concrete around the pool, custom pergola, fencing, and new railing around the deck. He came to us before Christmas and asked us to pay him so he could pay his guys before even one job was completed. After discussing this, we decided to go ahead and pay the remaining amount since it was right before Christmas. He also requested cash and we agreed. So not only did we pay before he was done….like 5 months before he quit without finishing. Thank goodness for our other contractors and their willingness to help us finish. To date, he has not finished the fence, the railing, the caps…..he left the overlay incomplete and refuses to come back to finish anything. We went without railing on our deck and around a 12 foot drop off on our driveway for 8 months…..we used a fence panel as a gate for 8 months. The concrete around the pool is completely stamped in some areas and not at all in others. He splattered concrete all over our new retaining walls. The stamped concrete is multiple different colors….not intentionally different colors and is already cracked in multiple areas. The overlay was supposed to be a consistent color and texture…..it is drastically different! The white portion of our pool is scratched and dyed from the colored overlay that ran into the pool that they just left. There are many, many areas on the white pool rim itself that have paint tape that will not come up, scratches galore, and concrete mix stuck to it. We have tried everything and the pool rim is completely ruined. We also paid them $8,000 for a custom pergola but ended up buying pre-made kits (another $7,000 out of pocket) because he refused to give us any materials he stated he purchased. Three weeks ago, he came to us and said we owe him more money because “the concrete got bigger, the fence doubled in size, and I’m not working for free!” We pulled up our contracts and had another contractor measure to be sure…..our contract says 450 feet of fencing, we have 424 feet. As far as the concrete goes….he asked us to come and approve the “form” that they laid out and we said it looks great. It’s exactly as big as we agreed upon. I went back through text messages, contracts, etc. We tried to explain this to him but he said he “I don’t give a F*** what it says” He finally came two weeks ago to pick up the fence railings to weld a gate. He also told us he wasn’t finishing anything else for us unless we paid him $10,000 more than our contracts. We held on to the concrete stamps and asked him to bring us the gates back and at that time we would give him the stamps. One hour later, the sheriff showed up saying that Vince told him we were stealing his “stuff”. The sheriffs both agreed that the work they were looking at was less than desirable and it’s unfortunate that they couldn’t do more to help us. We were SO patient with him and the excuses as to why he couldn’t come, why he didn’t reply, or show up. So here we are from contracting in August…….to MAY and he quit without getting one job completed. I have attached multiple pictures for reference and can also produce contracts, text messages, etc if he attempts to contradict any of this. So friends…..pass this along so no one else goes through the 10 month battle to simply have a contractor complete the work he was contracted and PAID to do! Reminder, the pool and retaining walls were completed by our first contractors and were completed on October 6th of 2022…..it’s almost June of 2023!! PLUS…..they have utilized pictures of our property ALL over their facebook, website, and produced a commercial on local TV with our property, all without our permission. We have requested them to be removed and the response we received from Vince, “Uhhh, sorry. It’s not illegal. LOL” Fence And Concrete Masters, LLC - Fence Contractor in Saint Joseph (business.site) (1) Fence and concrete masters | Saint Joseph MO | Facebook Vince Anderson (1) No limit construction crew | Saint Joseph MO | Facebook Cody Perry HUGE THANK YOU TO Clark Concrete Construction and Hunters Tree and Lawn Service for coming to the rescue!!!! AMAZING customer service and quality work!!!

Project wasn’t completed when promised. Poor workmanship. Fence posts not backfilled with dirt. After calling them, they came back and kicked dirt in holes with their boots. Left metal debris from chain link fence throughout yard. One gate won’t open properly. We won’t be calling them back to fix it; it’s easier to fix it ourselves and know it’s done right. One section needed a tension strand in the bottom. They promised to do that for us. After countless text messages, they finally showed up and installed it; however it appears poor quality material. Please don’t use these people; they do poor quality work at a high price.

Good work, good communication, very reasonable. Would hire again for future jobs.

Repeat customer wouldn’t hire anyone else. Did by driveway really happy with it. Highly recommend!!

Last May we gave Vince $1000 to put fencing around a concrete porch. My husband was anxious to get this done and called him several times. There was always an excuse , I’m too busy, I’ll get to you soon, I’m on vacation, I have Covid. Finally was told he wasn’t go to do it and he would refund our money. He also said he was out money for the fencing he supposedly bought . We told him he could bring us the fence and we would pay for that. Didn’t hear from him again for 9 months until I told this story on Facebook. His story is now he had to take back the material, pay a restocking fee and once again I reminded him we told him to bring us the fencing. He offered to pay us $500 through the attorney General’s office. I want my full amount I paid him.

Good!! Would definitely hire again.

We hired this company about 2 months ago and it was so hard to get Vince to answer us back for anything! When they finally did come, after many messages and threatening him to give us our deposit back, there is nothing good about this privacy fence! He tried to have his worker collect the other half of the money and we told him that Vince can come get his check. The 2 gates they had put in was already sagging after 2 days and there was about a 2 to 3 inch gap where I could stick my hand in and open the gates. Well he showed up the next day all because he wasn't getting paid. Now fast forward to today! The 2 gates are sagging, boards are starting to warp on the bottom and it just looks crappy! We have a deck guy working on our deck that happens to do fencing and said it was just a s***** job! Please for the life of me do not hire these people! You will regret it! I hope this saves someone else from this mess!

Hired Vince November of 2021 to put in 2 double gates into an existing fence. Worst decision I have ever made. No showed multiple times when he said he would be over to do the work. Then when he did install, he put gates in that look like a 10 year old welded them. No Latches sharp bare metal on every gate and now they are rusted. Vince claimed he would come fix them but I'm still waiting. This guy is a joke!

Horrible, they were very helpful and responsive when we first hired them and once they were paid it all went down hill. Our fence was not properly installed we have had issues since the completed the project it’s supposed to have a 5 year craftsmanship/workmanship warranty that’s a joke. My fence is falling down all the posts are loose, 1/2 of the fence has 1 gauge of fence fabric and the other 1/2 has some cheap fabric that almost melts in the heat and gets distorted. We have called Vincent for well over a year trying to get the repairs made he scheduled times about 20 to be exact and never would show. He came up once and put some foam around a post and did a horrible job at that it stayed tight for a week or less. None of the fence posts were put in level, the fabric was not stretched, The gates were not the correct size and one side on the double gate is different then the other. The top caps on the posts are all different. The fence was not tied or braced correctly. We have to use rubber bungee cords to keep the double gate from twisting open. We had another reputable fence company come out and look at it to give us a quote to fix it right and they said it was put up so bad it would be better to take it down and put a entire new fence up with quality matching materials. The last communication I had with Vincent was in May 2021 and he blew off our scheduled appointment to take his kids to a parade and have a family day as he stated. Then when I got upset because my husband took yet another unpaid day off from work Vincent text me and said never to call him again he was turning this over to his attorney, really?? I would never do work with this company I should have done more research about them before hiring them. I have pictures and proof of all of this stay away from this guy!! I’ve also spoke to another customer of his who had the same issues and took him to court and won but has yet to receive any of the judgment money.

We hired Vince to install a wood fence at our new house. At first they were responsive and got it installed when they said they would. They were less expensive but came with a 5 year warranty, so we hired them. Except both gates fly open in the wind, one gate wont open due to the slope, but they left it that way, and sprayed stain all over our house. Many exposed nails where they missed the boards. Sad part is that’s not the worst part…at least 14 posts are completely loose and 2 sides of it are leaning bad. They installed the fence in April 2018, I called and sent him video of how bad it was in May 2018, its now Jan 2019! He has no showed us at least 15 times and is now claiming it’s a water issue??? Making a huge deal that he’s agreed to fix it for FREE, but never has. We have 2 posts remotely close to a drain and they aren’t the worst ones. A reputable fence company came out and confirmed they did a poor job. So now I’m fighting just to get this fence fixed. Vince, do what you say you’re going to do and honor your commitments. DO NOT hire him under any circumstance. The contract is fraudulent claiming a “warranty” that they won’t honor. We have been EXTREMELY patient and given him the benefit of the doubt over and over and over. I can’t believe people treat customers this way. Very Dissapointed.

All A's. I would use Fence Masters again if need be.
