Achieve Fence

I wish I had heeded the advice of the other person who gave a D. Similar to that review: Seemed like a nice guy, will not use e-mail, and is it Achieve or Achieved, and do they even know? Well, we achieved nothing. Mike came to my home and seemed very nice, but from there it went nowhere. When I asked about fencing options he said I needed to go to some place down in Howell. I took the time to do that (an hour away!), chose what I wanted, and eventually got a quote for a few thousand, but through FAX. He doesn't use e-mail, and we had to find a fax to get the quote. When we tried to fax him back the next day, his wasn't working. For real... his only method of contact besides phone or post and it isn't working. So really the only way to contact him is text. We wanted to move ahead and make a contract but he kept changing/cancelling meeting times and what he said he'd be able to do. And... this was weird... he kept telling ME to text him another time to remind him... like I was his secretary or something. This should have been the red flag to move on. Then he said he couldn't place the order for the materials (?? Like isn't that your job???) and wanted me to order it and he would just do the installation work. Well, we weren't in circumstances where we could keep going to Howell at the time so I said how about just doing the repair work for now and skip the new install? He said no problem, but it would take a while because the heat's been slowing his work. Okay, that's understandable. So a few more weeks pass and it's been like two months of this back and forth at this point and I ask him if he'll be able to do the job soon and he says, yes, end of next week... and of course, "text me next week." So the next week I text him and he just doesn't reply to my texts at all at this point... so incredibly rude. So, seemed like a nice guy but also very, very unprofessional at conducting business, obviously. He hadn't actually ripped me off or anything, but he has wasted my time and effort, and now it's months later and my project which should have been done a long time ago has gone nowhere because of him. It looks like most of the good reviews were some time ago, so I'd be wary if I were you. Just totally unprofessional from beginning to end.

excellent. did a great repair job and even made nice to my cranky neighbor who stood their watching him. left the place nice and neat. cleaned the fence area that he fixed. price was very fair, quite a bit lower than the company that installed it. took the garbage with him. I would definitely recommend mike for your fence work.

The job was amazing! Michael is a true professional and his work is exemplary! Will definitely use again! Highly recommend!!

Michael from Achieve Fence was a great guy. He explained all the details in layman's terms which made it easy to understand . His prices were much better then the 3 other estimates I received. The installation of our Vinyl fencing was done and completed on time in the in climate weather of late December. Michael did quality work at a reasonable price. He cleaned up each night like he wasn't even there, very neat. Our neighbors were impressed at the way Michael worked and applauded us on the beauty of the new fence. We would use Michael and Achieve Fence in the future and will recommend him to all our friends. I would give this company the highest rating possible. Thanks Frank

I initially had trouble scheduling the work because he was busy, but once a date was set everything went very well. I'm happy with the work, which was done well. Moreover, the price was much less expensive than other quotes that I received. I felt smart having hired AF

Mike did a wonderful job! The fence looks amazing and is rock solid. Mike did a great job communicating everything he would be doing and worked promptly to get it done. I couldn't have asked for anything better! A+++ service

Mike is easy to communicate with via text message which suites me well because of my busy schedule. I contacted him in November of last year expecting to schedule my fence replacement for the coming spring, but he said it he could do it in December. I texted pictures of the job to him and he was able to give me an estimate that was better than another contractor who had worked on my neighbors' fences. We scheduled the time and the work went very well. The new fence looks great and he also pointed out that my neighbors' recently completed fences were actually not 100% cedar. I was concerned about laying fencing in cold weather as I was not sure that the concrete footings would set properly, so I waited to write this review until now. Eight months later the fence is still standing strong and looking good. Another plus was that the section of fencing that I share with my neighbor was put in using the same slopping section, on the street side, that we had in the original fence. My neighbors' fences lack this slopping section so they just abruptly drop from eight foot sections to four foot sections at the street side, making it look weird.

Nice guy. He came out and wasn't able to measure because he didn't bring the right measuring tool. Later, he provided a voicemail quote based on my estimated measurements. Mike came out a second time (after a number of rescheduled appointments due to other projects he was working on) and measured and then, once again, called a few days later with another verbal quote. I continued to ask for an email quote to which he said he didn't use e-mail and that he could only text me something. We finally agreed to have him mail me an estimate in writing which took another few days. We eventually decided to go with a competing company. Although "Achieve Fence" (or, "Achieved Fence" as was on the letterhead?) had the lower price, I had questions about timeliness, reliability, and having all parts of the project in writing. We were able to negotiate with the eventual company we chose so we were happy with our decision to look elsewhere. Again, Mike is a nice guy, but with a big and expensive project such as a vinyl fence, providing clear and prompt quotes is a non-negotiable.

Went very well , they started and finished as promised , they were courteous and professional

Mike was fantastic! The new fence he installed is perfect. He was neat, cleaned up everyday and made sure everything was perfect before he left. I would recommend him to anyone!

Mike the owner arrived early in the morning as scheduled to begin work. On his own installed 17 six foot sections and 18 posts in 2-1/2 days. Each post that supported the fence was anchored with cement and dirt. Despite a slight grade the fence appeared perfectly straight and vertical. The fencing had no wood knots ,whatsoever, looking fantastic. I would definitely recommend this company if you desire great quality work, fair pricing and fantastic customer service. In my opinion a five star rating is well deserving for his efforts and professionalism.

After months of trying to get a contractor to even return my calls to no avail, a friend noticed a neighbor was having a fence installed and stopped to get contact information for me. I called Mike at Achieved Fence on his cell and he returned my call within the hour. We made arrangements for him to come to my home on a Saturday morning to provide an estimate. He was on time and very courteous. By Monday he called me with an estimate as promised. He returned on Wednesday evening to write up the contract for materials, installation and removal of the old fence and scheduled the job for Tuesday Sept 10th. He arrived on time on Tuesday morning and by Wednesday afternoon the job was complete. I've had my share of disappointments with other contractor's and quite frankly was ready for more disappointment but that wasn't the case here. Mike far exceeded my expectations. He was punctual, called or texted me with questions or approval along the way and did a very professional job of installing my vinyl fencing. Additionally, they kept everything neat and clean and even cleaned down the fence and work area as they worked. They actually finished the job earlier than expected too. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Mike at Achieved Fence Co.
