No work was done because the company failed to respond to my email via Angie's List. I went with another company.
Description of Work: I was looking to have a fence replaced with cedar pickets. I need about 48 feet. I reached out via Angie's List to T-Bar Fence Inc on Jan 18th, 2017. Today is Feb 10th, 2017 and I still have yet to receive a response. I have no way to determine what their quality is or the value they may offer since they never responded. I had fantastic work done by another fence company in the area and they were very responsive, courteous, professional and the craftsmanship was great. As mentioned, I never spoke to anybody from T-Bar Fence. If they respond, maybe they will provide you with a nice fence. If you want a company that responds to you, is up front with the cost and who delivered a great fence to my family, you may want to contact Fence Works if T-Bar doesn't respond.

The first rep, Josh, left the company w/o turning in my order. When Boo Steen was new owner, he went over order to correct the problem. Great customer service by him and his installer.

They did a great job. They kept rescheduling the start date of the job (three times) without telling me, but it wasn't really that big of a deal and the sales guy was pretty cool. I couldn't communicate with the workers, due to them not being able to speak English, but the quality of the job done was excellent. I'd highly recommend

Sean inspected the job, asked questions to understand what I wanted and prepared an estimate. Returned several weeks later to answer neighbors questions, quickly resolved minor issue during work on fence, removal and post installation and confirmed work was satisfactory before final payment. Wife and neighbors pleased with fence!

Started on time 9:00am. They had all the picket, rails and brackets. Took old fence down in 1 1/2 hours. Finished new fence and getes by 7:00pm. Wonderful looking fence. They did a great job, worked all day and hardly took time off for breaks. We were very, very pleased and happy.

They did an excellent job installing the gates. They came when they said they would and completed the job on time. Gates are still working just like they did when they where first installed over 7 years ago. We had a misunderstanding on width of the gates after the post where already installed and they didn't dispute it they just made it right. I would use them again and also recommend them. I plan on calling them soon for fencing.

I would use them again in a heartbeat. Scott Ballard was amazingly detailed when he came to estimate the project. There was no guess work with this project because all dimensions, materials and costs were documented. I can't recommend Scott and his team enough.

Very nicely . Front yard gate is an object d'art!
Description of Work: T Bar installed bull wire on the interior side existing split timber fence, straightened up several of the posts, installed two flat board gates ( also lined with bull wire) and then installed two special gates. One gate looks like a solid wooden door ( front yard gate) and one looks like a half door) - both made to my requests. The installation crews for the posts, the wire stretching and the gate construction were neat, clean, amicable, and did excellent work. The T Bar rep, Bryan, visited everyday ( sometimes several times per day).

Scott Ballard was very pleasant to work with. He came to a property I had just purchased to measure and quote a chain link fence I wanted installed for dog enclosure. The fence measured approximately 450 feet. I wanted three gates. Not only did Scott make very accurate notes about my needs, he also let me know that some of what was quoted by another fence company was not necessary. The other company quoted gate sizes that were larger and more expensive than I needed. I appreciate the protection from spending more than I needed to. The crew came a few days after I accepted the quote. The crew worked hard and carefully and accurately. They made sure everything was the way I wanted it and to my expectations. I was given several opportunities to ask questions or clarification. The fence and gates are perfect and fit the needs of me and my large dogs perfectly. I recommend T-Bar Fence for your fencing needs.

Scott arrived promptly and measured my fencing and wrote an estimate to replace the fence and evaluate the electric driveway gate. The crew to tear down the old fence, remove it, and set the posts arrived on the afternoon of April 1 and even though it had rained all morning, they completed all the work. The new fence was completely done on the second. The electric driveway gate turned out to be unrepairable since no parts are available for it. The gate person came out three times and did his best to get the gate to work properly all for $89. All calls to this company were answered by an office person and promptly returned by the appropriate person. The fence looks great!

They are the perfect example of why Angie's List is needed so using bad companies like T-BAR FENCE can be avoided.
Description of Work: T-BAR FENCE INC. built my privacy fence. They did not pour concrete as specified in the contract for the support pillars. Then when I called them about the fences problems they claimed they'd gone bankrupt and couldn't warranty anything anymore. After discovering they were still operating I called them back, they said there was nothing they could do and tough luck. I have never had as bad an experience with a company as I have with this one. They knowingly do bad work then tell lies to avoid warranty claims.

Response from T-Bar Fence Inc
(member name removed)’s fence was built in October 2008 by T-Bar Fence, Inc. for Centex Homes. The fence was built pursuant to Centex Homes’ specifications, inspected and approved by both the City of San Antonio and Centex Homes, and paid for by Centex Homes. The fence is now almost 5 years old, and this is the first we have ever heard from (member name removed). T-Bar maintains meticulous records of customer calls, and can find no record of a call from (member name removed), Centex Homes, or anyone at his address. T-Bar does however, have a record of calls from neighbors in his area for miscellaneous fence warranty claims – all of which were honored and responded to. (member name removed)'s claim that he contacted T-Bar and was told we were either out of business or bankrupt is a mystery to T-Bar. T-Bar Fence has never gone out of business, never filed bankruptcy, and has honored all warranty claims. (member name removed) now appears to claim the fence on his property was incorrectly installed in 2008. We are unaware of the standard he claims was breached. To the contrary, the fence was properly installed pursuant to the specifications of Centex Homes. T-Bar has always honored its warranty, and as with (member name removed), had he contacted T-Bar for warranty service during the warranty period, any such proper claim would have been honored. Now, being 5 years later, and 4 years out of warranty, there is nothing for T-Bar to do. T-Bar is unaware of the conditions, modifications, or other matters which could have occurred to impact the fence. A claim such as (member name removed) for a fence 4 years out of warranty is not reasonable. Important to note is the fact that (member name removed) has specifically threatened to attack T-Bar in social media with the specific plan of harming T-Bar’s reputation, because he believes his claim for service on a 5 year old, 4 year out of warranty fence should be repaired or worked on for free. In fact, his stated goal is to “destroy” T-Bar’s business if T-Bar does not do what he requires. T-Bar will not stand for such extortion, and we would hope the BBB would not either. T-Bar has retained legal counsel to deal with (member name removed)'s defamatory threats, and intends to address them through legal processes as applicable. The facts are clear: T-Bar built the fence in October 2008 with a one year warranty per the Centex Homes specifications. T-Bar has consistently honored its warranties for all the fences it built for Centex Homes. T-Bar fence is not out of business; has not gone out of business; has not filed bankruptcy; and continues to build fences and honor its warranties. (member name removed)'s fence is 4 years beyond its one year warranty time frame, and his claims for repair to a 5 year old fence are not the obligation of T-Bar Fence, Inc. (member name removed) should contact the builder from whom he bought the home, and discuss with them the warranty and installed specifications of which he now complains. (member name removed)'s overt threats to defame T-Bar, and his stated intent to harm or as he put it to T-Bar “destroy” T-Bar’s business are evidence of his true lack of reasonableness and unscrupulous intent. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Respectfully, Mark E Spradlin President, T-Bar Fence, INC

They cleaned up the old fence after they finished and left the area neat and clean. The fence is well anchored in the ground. The welding where the sections join looks well done. The fence feels substantial. I do not know how competative the price was. (We did not get another quote.) I am happy with the quality of the fence and the installation. I would recommend them to others.

The installation went smoothly for the most part. They did nick my sprinkler system, but the salesman repaired it. The gates started experiencing problems within 2 years of install, After 3.5 years, the wood on the gate panel split, and the metal hardware broke (spring to the handle fell out). The quality of the 2 gates was poor. Also, the wood planks started develop MANY knot holes, where the knots fell out. Very disappointed. UPDATE (July 6, 2012): A little over one year after the fence was installed, I called to have a gate repair. They repaired it free of charge, but told me that any future repairs would not be free. I guess I expected the gate to last as long as the fence, not just a year. As stated above, the gates started experiencing problems within 2 years of install, After 3.5 years, the wood on the gate panel split, and the metal hardware broke (spring to the handle fell out). The quality of the 2 gates was poor. I did not call them because I did not want to have to pay for repairs on the gates. I called them in May of this year because I needed an additional short fence (to enclose my A/C unit) plus my original fence re-stained. I called them because I thought they would give me a real good price, being an existing customer. However, their price was much higher than another Angie's List company (Watauga Fence). Unlike T-Bar Fence, Watauga Fence guarantees their gates for as long as I own it.

Response from T-Bar Fence Inc
I was confused by the customers' comments, because the same day he filed this report he called our office to ask for another quote. The salesperson handling the area called him and scheduled an appointment for the next day. During the appointment our salesperson was asked to give the customer a quote for new fence work in the amount of $1,100.00. At the end of the appointment, our salesman ask Mr Tannenbaum why he would call us again after filling out this report on Angie's List the same day. Confused and embarrassed the customer was surprised we knew and gave no explaination. The salesman then explained to the customer if he had problems he should have called to ask for a repair. While we only give a 1 year warranty on our fences, we will always try and work with a customer. The current quote for $1,100.00 is pending a final decision by this customer.

This customer was a very nice lady and I was surprised by her comments. However, we do not give her an exact time when we would arrive because of the travel time between Arlington and Glen Rose. We normally tell our customers what day we will schedule their job, but the arrival time varies do to weather and the work to be preformed. We did miss a post cap on the original installation date. I am very disappointed that she would not hire us again.

Response from T-Bar Fence Inc
The T-Bar Fence contract does exempt us from liability from broken sprinkler lines and sprinkler heads. And we reinforce this with the homeowner upfront. The reason for this is two fold, one is there is no way to accurately locate lines or heads. Second, T-Bar is a fence company and not an authorized sprinkler company and therefore can not be responsible for problems that may occur later. We tell our crews to notify the salesman & homeowner when a sprinkler line is hit, so the homeowner can determine whether they want to call an authorized sprinkler company or repair the break themselves.
