Refused to come after approving and also let me know homeowners should not purchase own supplies because we don't know what we are doing or get the wrong stuff. I advised him that the experts advised me what to get but they have a difference of opinion. Nor did I want any of his parts to purchase. Wasted my time!

Response from Sims Fencing
First off, everything i brought up to her she told me I was wrong, according to her "online experts". Lies and very rude. 5 pounds of 2 1/2 inch screws for entire job, these would stick out beyond the framing over a half inch...dangerous and lawsuit waiting to happen. 1 3/4 inch needed for pickets, 3 inch for framing. She had wrong hinges which would never hold a double 10ft heavy treated gate. I offered to include proper nails and bring the right hinges. I advised her of the correct items to swap out. I'm never rude to a customer and always get great reviews on my work. There would have been no way to make her happy and meet the expectations of her "online experts"...who were all wrong. I did not take a dime from her, did not perform any services other than free advice on wrong materials. But Angie's List allows her to give a review, so I'm gonna leave my response. Sorry to say, but this isn't McDonalds..customer's aren't always right. So I eventually, and gladly refused to do her labor only job.

Mike was prompt and worked feverishly to finish the job as promised. I would highly recommend him as he has a great work ethic and he explained (and followed through) on every step required to complete the job.

Excellent. Michael came out quickly to provide a quote and was able to arrange gas line marking and start work within one day of quote. The fence looks great and provides the security we needed for that area of our property.

Response from Sims Fencing
First off, you were never out a dime...or time. I never require down payments. I apologize for not getting back with you about your fence project. I'm a one man operation and get behind sometimes on returning calls on new requests. I've just been busy on fence jobs. But in response to you giving me a low rating, I've never had communication problems once I start a job, and leave every customer satisfied and always exceed expectations. But I do sometimes miss calls and requests for new projects. This just hurts me and does not cause any delay or monetary loss to a prospective customer I have not met. Again, sorry for the missed opportunity to gain your business and prove how I always get great reviews and make new friends. But in regards to your "F" rating, I feel that it's not deserved. If I had missed an appointment, didn't complete work as described, or stiffed you on a downpayment...I'd be more than deserving a bad review. But a "F" review? I hope all goes well with your fence project.

Mike was very professional and friendly. He removed the old wood (not privacy) fence and installed new fence as we discussed and agreed to. He completed the work in a reasonable time and price. I definitely recommend Sims Fencing.

Went very well, work was done quickly and just what I needed to have done. I would use again and would highly recommend. I did not get other bids since it was hard to find someone who would do repairs. Price was ok, I rated a B since I had no other reference point on price.

Mr. Sims was very prompt in contacting me about a quote. He was able to stop by the next day to assess my needs and provide a quote. On the day of the scheduled repair and staining of my fence, he was punctual, professional and very polite. He was able to complete the job in a matter of hours and the staining & repairs look wonderful. He is truly a top notch professional that I plan to go to for all my fencing needs. He accepts multiple forms of payment making it a very smooth transaction. I highly recommend him for your fencing needs.

Michael was very prompt from coming out to give an estimate, to responding to questions, and then to come do the work and complete the job. He did an excellent job and I will likely hire again to do the fence on the other side of the house.

A+! They got the job done fast, and done well. They were friendly and professional, and even helped build something to block our curious puppies from running along the length of the rock wall. Our neighbor saw the good work they were doing and wanted his fence done too!

On Feb 20th, I left a message with our contact information for a call back. To date there has been no response. Last week my husband called and talked to Michael (owner) and he told my husband that he would call him on Saturday and if it was not raining that he would come out after noon. He told my husband if it rained on Saturday he would come out early the following week (this week). It did rain on Saturday, however Michael did not call as he said he would . We have not heard from Michael this week. My husband called him on Tuesday and left Michael a voice mail asking for a call back. It is now Thursday and there has not been a call back.

Mike (the owner) was able to come out and give both me and my neighbor an estimate. He was thorough in explaining how he does what he does, but more so, WHY he uses certain nails/wood/etc. For someone who is a novice when it comes to home projects, I felt super relieved to have someone with so much experiencing taking care of my fence. I asked a ton of questions and he answered them all professionally and personably. When the project was completed, I couldn't have been happier. Now my dog can't dig his way out of the fence and it looks BEAUTIFUL too. So happy with the result. Would 10000000% hire him again. And for what it's worth, my neighbor ended up using him as well and his fence looks great too!

dont know. Never got an estimate.
Description of Work: He did nothing. Called him 3 or 4 times, texted him and sent him a request through the Internet and never got a response. Not sure how a business can keep going when they don't respond. If he can't respond to inquiries then not sure about the quality of his work

Response from Sims Fencing
Hello, sorry I wasn't able to contact you in a timely matter. I've been extremely busy with work and also with damage to my home from the hail. But, I also don't understand why you would give a rating on a company that did not provide a service or a monetary loss to you? Not every company can promptly return a call or email request..but that shouldn't mean you give them an "F" rating on a national website? Why would you make a comment on the quality of my work? Every customer is extremely satisfied with the work I perform, and most of my work comes from referrals from pleased customers. I called 5 companies for roof repairs. 2 called me back, so now I should cry about the 3 that didn't get back to me? Really?

He came out and did a quote, then came back and removed the old fence and gate, and replaced them. Something that stood out to me was when he removed the slat to the old fence he was very careful with the phone companies box and made sure nothing happened to it. He arrived on time, and it was done in a timely manner. He did a good job. His quote was higher than one other company and close to another companies quote, but I felt most comfortable with him and felt like he would do the best job.
