Michaels Fencing

The provider did not show up until 2 days after the set schedule then showed up at 11:30am. and demanded 1,000.00 to begin work (I wrote him a check) He put in 6 corner post and 4 gate posts then left, a total of 2hrs. onsite. He came back 2 days later the dug all holes for the remaining post and asked for another 1,000.00 again I wrote a check. Unknown to me, his website says "NO Money Down" pay in full once the job has been completed., he left after 3 hours then finally returned the Wednesday of the following week and set what post that he brought with him. He left 27 holes in my yard without post. Two days later he texted saying his truck was broke down and he had to take it to a service station. He promised that he would touch base each day to let us know when he would be back to begin working again. Several times we had to text him in order to get an update. Truck still in the shop. My husband called him directly and he told him he couldn't talk he was in the middle of estimates. Well if your truck is your only vehicle how are you out doing estimates. After 2 weeks he sent me an ultimatum text saying he could not trust us to pay him and if I wanted to write a check for the balance then he would pick it up, get the supplies and come back to my home to start working again. My response was I wasn't paying anything further until the job was completed and that we no longer needed his services. The total cost of post and cement that he had used was 795.00 and that is at retail price and I don't believe that 1,200 labor was done! To make matters worse I received a summons where he is suing me for 1,800.00 more!!!!!!!!! I would not recommend this contractor to anyone! He is not reliable to show up when scheduled, never worked a full day. The fence was supposed to be completed in 1 week, I allowed 2 weeks because of weather. My husband had to go out and buy the balance of supplies and will have to install it himself. This is the first time we have used a contractor and what a terrible experience!

They were quick and professional. I had no problems.

Our experience with Michaels Fencing was outstanding. It is a small company and Michael will do your estimate and then will also install the fence along with his co-worker. Michael listened to what we wanted and gave us a very competitive quote on a high quality fence. The install went very well and the fence looks terrific. I would highly recommend Michaels Fence.

Michael White, the owner operator of Michael's Fencing is an untrustworthy thief. He installed our fence a few years ago and did the job for a reasonable price, he was unprofessional but did good work. We referred him to our friends and family twice in the past year, he embarrassed us by not returning phone calls and not showing up to scheduled appointments. Even after this we attempted to get a quote from him regarding a second gate- he quoted us weeks later with a time and price and the conversation ended. A few weeks went by and he showed up at our house and expanded our gate instead of installing a new one. We attempted to have him fix the situation by installing what he had been quoted for(but no contract ever signed) but he refused to do so until we paid for the work we hadn't asked to be done. No This all occurred last fall and 2 weeks ago he showed up at our house in the middle of the day and STOLE the gate he installed 3 years ago. after he had been told he was not allowed on our property(We have cameras and watched him do it). The few dollars you save by using Michael's Fencing is not worth risking this happening to you!

He sent me e-mails and I didn't respond, so there was a delay. I had to order the stuff and that takes a long time, so he had to wait. When he finally started, it took longer than I was expecting, but he has better ideas than other guys who are doing fencing. He was more creative than the other ones. The price was okay and was the same as the others. He was also responsive. I would use him again in the future.

I found Michael's Fencing through a Google search. I liked what I saw on his website and called him for an estimate. Upon meeting Michael, my husband and I instantly liked him...he was professional, punctual, listened to what we were looking for, and then made suggestions as to what he felt would be the best option. We originally were planning on doing a wood fence simply because we didn't want to spend $15k+ on a vinyl fence. When we met Michael, all that changed. His quote for vinyl was approx. $1,500 more then what we were quoted on a wood fence from another Co. His quote made it pretty much a no brainer for us! The actual project took much longer then anticipated to complete, but not all due to Michael. We 1st had an issue w/ our permit. Michael was very helpful and worked w/ us to come up w/ a plan that ultimately was approved by our local borough office so we could obtain our permit. Then there was Hurricane Irene, followed by Tropical Storm Lee. Bottom line is we are very happy w/ our fence. He does quality work and installs a quality product (Country Estate Fence, Deck and Railing). And I don't think you'll get a better price from another Co. then what you'll be quoted from Michael. He's professional, was always friendly, worked fast and hard, and usually responded to our questions fairly quickly. I would not hesitate recommending him to any of our family or friends.

He didn't know anything. They put the posts in and dumped a bag of cement on each post. It started to rain and it all got hard. Then I hired another company. It was the worst experience I've had for house rejuvenating. They ended up bringing all the supplies and I told them I didn't want all the supplies and it ended up costing me $900 for the few supplies that he brought. I paid it just to get rid of him. Nobody wanted to touch the fence after that because they didn't think that he did a very good job. I would say that anybody that gets him would be in trouble. The overall experience was terrible. I don't remember what it would have ended up costing because it wasn't complete. His quality wasn't very good. He did come out when he said he would so he was responsive. He had a helper that smoked and dumped his butts all over. It was not professional. I would never hire them again. He was terrible.

He did a wonderful job. Everything he said he was going to do, he did. It was a good experience overall. I received a lot of estimates from different companies (who just wanted to tear down the fence and rebuild it), and Michael's price was the best. He was also very pleasant and easy to work with. He took care of everything in a timely manner. I'm happy with his services.

When we were ready for quoted fencing to be installed. We signed his contract and paid the required 1/2 down. Michaels fencing showed up on time, as promised and stayed two days till finished. Used good solid thick pretreated wood, nailed everything, no staples. Used nice hardware and is perfectly spaced and measured. Every post hole was hang dug and concreted. Good solid fence !! Michael and his co-worker Josh are super nice guys, work hard, fast and clean....no mess was left behind. They are polite to neighbors, friendly to our kids and dogs.
