Description of Work: We used Helm Fencing approximately 7 years ago to install side fence along perimeter of yard and attach to house with gates on both sides. This time we had them replace the gates and fencing that attach to the house with taller more dense fencing. This way the dogs can't see who or what is walking past our yard. The guys were friendly and very professional. I can tell you that they had a heck of a time taking out the old fence that they put in. It was almost comical but they finally succeeded and the new fence went up just as strong as the previous one. They asked for our input before and after the job was done. I should mention that this was all done in 100 degree heat. While the guys may not have been smiling, they were extremely upbeat and very professional. We have had a minor issue with one gate since and Helm came out and fixed it right away. I am sure it was just because of settling. We are very pleased and will definitely call them again for any fencing job. P.S. They were great with all our dogs too!!

I do apologize that you were unsatisfied with your contact with us at Helm Fencing. I recall that we were un-interested in quoting the project, as I recall we let you know with a follow up call that we were unable to quote your project. We strive to provide industry leading customer service and again I do apologize but there are occasionally some projects that we feel it's not economically suitable for the customer for us to quote and therefore we will on rare occasion decided to decline to quote. Sincerely Helm Fencing Inc.

Many were not interested in a small job - Helm not only was able to do the work quickly, but the result is beyond expectations! Much nicer than anticipated. While they were at my home, they noticed a gate was loose and just fixed it before they left - no additional charge! We have used Helm for various fencing jobs over 15 years - always the best price with excellent quality and workmanship!

Response from Helm Fencing Inc
I understand your fustration in our not responding promptly. I do apologize. Once hurricane Sandy hit we were overwhelmed with calls and our usually quick response to any problems were delayed significantly. I understand you had a problem with the gate with the wood starting to split. We can not gaurantee that any piece of wood as it dries out will not split. That is one of the downsides of a wood fence. I can assure you that the repair was done properly and if there is a problem in the future with the gate during the warranty period we will will honor that and repair or replace your gate if needed.

Description of Work: Helm Fencing installed 67 feet of "Bufftech Vinyl" tongue and groove privacy fence. They also removed and took away 67' of wooden basketweave fencing. This is the second time we have had Helm Fencing for our fencing needs. The first time they were so professional: timely, cost effective, thorough in the installation and removal of old fence, I was a little nervous that this time around the installers might not be as good. They were wonderful as well. Helm came to estimate when they said they would, they told me exactly how long it would be until installation and they installed exactly when they said they would. The two young men who did the installation worked without a break until lunch time. They were polite and careful in their work. The installation was done beautifully - the fence is level and straight as an arrow. They spread the extra dirt exactly where I asked. I could not be more pleased with every aspect of the work we had done.

We did not use Helm Fencing because their estimate was significantly higher than another company we ultimately chose to do the work. Having experience with negotiations, I felt that asking them to reduce their price by 20% to match a competitor was not the right thing to do (if they had that much "fat" in the job, they would have lost all credibility matching the other company's proposal). As a result, my wife and I chose a company that quoted the lower (but not lowest) price and had a multitude of positive comments on Angie's List (Mainstreet Fencing).
Description of Work: We called Helm Fencing for an estimate. Making an appointment was simple. They were pleasant, responsive, and very professional.

It's an expensive fence. It goes all around our back yard which is a half acre and has 2 gates. I definitely recommend Pete Helm. I had a problem with one part of it, he came out personally and made it right. The guys had to work in mud. It was spring and it rained so much, we were pretty much under water. They were slopping around in thick mud to install the fence, but they did it and I was really impressed. Each pillar had to be put into concrete so it wasn't easy. This fence will last for eternity.

I discovered Helm Fencing by driving by their office on the way home from work, and later found they had an A+ rating with the BBC. We did not know about Angie's list at that time. The Owner Peter Helm was very courteous, and knowledgable, when speaking when I stopped by to make an appointment for them to come to the house to provide and estimate. And Peter gave an even better impression by coming to do the estimate and speak with us himself. He provided various options, and advised us about which types of products to use and avoid to maintain the fence. In addition, when we mentioned our future thoughts of adding an arbor to the end of the fence and connecting it to the house, he suggested that it would be in our best interest to install the arbor first and then finish the fence section afterwards. His estimate of $1,780 was very fair for the 72 ft of 6 ft high 1 x 4 red cedar domed top solid board fence with gothic 4x4 posts, and was appreciatively lower than the original contractor we were considering. Although we were a bit worried that they would be able to schedule the fence to be done before our party, they got it in a few days before, and did an excellant job. with both the installation and cleanup, with the barest minimal disruption to the yard. Although his final cost of about $1,900 was higher than the estimate, that was only due to the additional cost of removing the exiting fence sections. Peter did tell us what the cost would be during the estimate, but we only decided to pay them to remove the fence afterwards, as we realized that we just didn't have the time and energy to deal with it ourselves as we thought we would during the estimate. We have nothing but good things to say about our new section of fence, and we have since have received numerous praises about the fence and how much it add to our yard from people who have seen the yard without the fence, as well as those who have only seen the new fence installed. Peter Helm and Helm Fencing is definitely a company I would do business again for any future fencing needs, and my wife and I highly recommend them to everyone.

When the gate and portion of fence was initially installed, the gate was hung improperly and several pieces of fencing were damaged. I asked the installer to correct the problem but he refused. I contacted the company owner, Pete, who came to inspect the work a couple of days later at which time he promised the problem would be corrected and that he, himself, would be doing the work. Since then, over the course of more than 6 months, I have placed several calls inquiring about when the work would be corrected. I have repeatedly been told "you are on the project list". During my most recent call,a Helm employee, Michael Zumstein, informed me he thinks it best "we cut our losses" and that the improperly hung gate and damaged fence pieces will not be fixed. I asked to speak to the owner but my request was refused and Michael Zumstein became extremely rude. I requested the owner return my call; my call has gone unanswered. I am extremely displeased with the quality of the work that was done, with the unwillingness to address a problem that was created by Helm and by their complete lack of customer service.

We only charged her $725 for this job which included 12' of fence and a doubel drive gate in which she only paid us $242 of that. As stated in her complaint we did just decide to "cut our losses" and did not bill her the balance of $483.00. We realized that some customers can not be satisfied.
