E-mailed service provider February 16th. Received quick reply that he was in the area and would drop by to check it out and provide an estimate that very day. I e-mailed back to thank him, confirm we had no dogs in our back yard and he could drop by in our absence. Also mentioned that we had another crew providing an estimate that he might bump into but no problem, stop by at his convenience. No further contact. E-mailed the following day, 02/17 to ask if he had in fact stopped by, no contact still. Today, 02/21, still no contact. Unless something unusual has befallen the service provider (in which case I'm sorry and will gladly revise this review post explanation...) he/they are turned off by the mere thought of a competitor's estimate.
Description of Work: Services were not completed. We were attempting to have a privacy fence installed.

Set up an appt with this company. When he didn't show up after being 1.5 hours late, we contacted him and he said he was at another "big" appt. at USC and would be there soon. Came and surveyed the fence. Didn't hear back from him for about 5 days. We contacted him, left a message and he returned our call after another 3-4 days. We missed the call and called him back about an hour later. He acted like he didn't know who we were (mind you, he just called us) and said he would call us back shortly. He never did.

My request for an estimate was totally ignored even after a second phone call. That kind of lack of responsibility or incompetence does not bode well for them actually performing a fencing job. Very disappointed in what looked like a respected contractor with good reviews.

Demolition was a breeze and the installation went fast. Clean up was excellent. Loved the staff, too.
Description of Work: Completed a landscape architect's design for a formal garden. I've waited 30 years to finally get this done and they were nothing but professional! The job was obviously important to me...no disappointment here! Brick walls, brick curbing and wrought iron gates all turned out beautiful.

Thank you for your comments. We worked closely with the designer to ensure the ideal outcome. The brick wall, lattice and planters truly defined the garden. The brick columns and ornamental fence create a tranquil, safe feeling inside while offering security and curb appeal.

The sales rep responded promptly to our request for an estimate (others didn't return the call). She came when she said she would measured and gave us an estimate and a tentative schedule for installation. We paid a down payment and got a call a couple of days later to confirm an installation date. The installers came when scheduled, did the work quickly, cleaned up and left and we had a fence. We have used Guardian before and this is consistent with past experience. They may not be the cheapest around but they do quality work and have a quality product and are very responsive and customer focused.
Description of Work: Installed an aluminum fence along 2 sides of our yard with a double gate to match a fence already installed on2 sides of the yard.

My experience with Guardian fence suppliers went fine. I know the owner personally, that's why I chose them. Everything was done nicely there are no complaints.
Description of Work: Guardian Fence Suppliers had repaired and fixed the fencing for me. A tree fell on one of my wrought iron fences and bent it, so they took it back to their shop and straightened it out painted it and put it back in place.

The fencing was heavy commercial grade mounted on top of a retaining wall, on a hill, so not so easy to reach. They had to clear underbrush and weed trees before the fencing could be replaced. They did a great job and hauled all of the debris away with them.

Fence installation was the start of the problems. They tried to install a fence post up against a tree as if that was okay -- meanwhile the tree would grow around it and/or it would be difficult to cut down the tree without removing the fence post first. After I insisted, they reluctantly moved the post. However, the gate is still a mess -- very low quality -- paint is already flaking off and rusting. Everything was supposed to be powder coated so that it would not rust. They are extremely difficult to work with and keep trying to pass of bad workmanship as good by using a little sandpaper on the flaking paint and spray painting over the old paint! The gate looks like garbage, but they still seem to expect the full price they quoted even though they have not performed to the contract. They have also damaged the metal of the gate. The only good thing I can say at this point is that the Ameristar fence manufacturer does make a good product -- too bad they don't make custom gates to go with their fences -- if they did I wouldn't be having so many problems with it.
