Paid $7,200 deposit for a commercial grade aluminum fence on December 7, 2021 to Freedom Fence Builders. It is now July 5, 2022 and no work has been done. I have called to speak with the owner Jake Beerman but he will not return any of the calls. It does not look like they intend to install the fence or return my deposit. Craig B.

I've wanted a vinyl fence for quite some time. Jake and company went out of their way to make sure I was completely satisfied. I am in love with my fence and plan on enjoying the beauty for many years to come. Thank you Freedom Fence, you really did a wonderful job.

The project went smoothly from beginning to end. The company as a whole was very responsive, informative, professional, and polite. They matched the design of the existing stock (installed by the previous homeowner by a well known company I decided not to do business with even though their price was lower) as much as possible, pointing out the slight differences to me with a sample before I hired them, and did a nice job in a timely manner. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, and would highly recommend Freedom Fence Builders.

Went very well even though I had to change the installation date a couple of times to accommodate some other work we were having done. I was not present for the installation but our son was home and said it all went smoothly. This was not a big job as fences go but I never felt that I was valued less because of this. There was always quick replies to my emails.
Description of Work: Replaced sections of old wooden fence with new wooden fence to match neighbor's. Also installed 25' section of aluminum fencing to make a rectangular enclosure for dogs.

Luke and his team were great! Luke was able to come out and give us an estimate the same day that I called. The posts holding up our deck had never been replaced, and were rotted through at the bottom. He explained in detail what the repair entailed, both at the time of the estimate and while his team was doing the work. It was very easy to schedule the work, and his team finished everything in two days. They did a great job - their work was very clean, and everything stayed on budget. Luke is really communicative and a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Replaced and re-braced three support posts holding up our deck

Luke was very responsive and reasonable from the beginning. He provided a fast, competitive quote and performed the work just as he explained it would happen. He was respectful of our property and that of our neighbors. He was great to work with and provided us with a great service.

I waited a year to write these comments as a new deck has to age to see the workmanship. As far as getting it done it was all right. The young man came out and completed the whole job in one day by himself.)Kudos but I would have preferred a little more time and workmanship.) A year later when decided to paint the deck when I had some experts correct some items, I noted the annoying shortcomings. The material: he used the cheapest boards possible. They were not matched and the railing had developed 2-3 inch gaps on the handrails which could give you splinters in no time. Also several of the main studs are split and will have to be replaced. Although he used screws but apparently too sparingly, as the handrails around the stairs are loose and had to be refastened. The reason: he did not put the bottom of the rail in concrete. He may do different level of quality work at different price points but if he uses low quality material his workmanship as it may, is useless. Using him cost me an additional few hundred dollars to correct the flaws in workmanship and weak material used.

Response from Freedom Fence Builders LLC
Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the feedback. I remember enjoying working with you and it was sobering to read the disappointed review. I know we worked hard to get the cost as low as possible for you and I included some extra things, I think I fixed a door and did some work on the fence. I don't remember hearing anything from you about being disappointed with the work. I would have been happy to discuss repair options with you. Part of the issue with building exterior wood products is that the lumber comes treated wet and over time as it sits in the sun it dries out and shrinks. I would guess this would be the result of any gaps you are seeing. I hope to hear from you so I can make things right for you if that is what you would like. I wish I heard from you before this was posted, Luke (919) 909-1853

When he said he was coming, he came. He did really good work. He did all the work himself -- he had no helpers. He was a very hard worker. He was very communicative with us, as well. Toward the end of the project, I think he missed a few finishing nails and he forgot to put locks on the gates, but we took care of that ourselves.
Description of Work: I hired him to build a giant deck around our above ground pool. It took about 2 weeks to complete.

When Luke (he's the owner) showed up my wife pulled me aside to say "We've hired a boy!" Apparently sensing her dismay, he said his father is in construction and that he's been framing houses for years (he's 22 and married). He did the job to perfection (I do construction, myself, so have high standards, but am too old now to have done the job), exactly when he promised, and we couldn't be more pleased.
