MINOR'S FENCES

Minor’s responded to my request for a quote. I wanted the work done in the winter and that was not a problem. They put up a picket fence in the front and a privacy fence in the back. There is now a gate between mine and my Mother’s house. Minor’s also fixed the gate that a previous contractor had improperly installed.

This was a smooth sale! Several people have commented on how good my fence looks.

They never responded to me even after several attempts.

On 6/5/16 I emailed through Angie's list for a visit and quote. No response On 7/10/16 I emailed again and received response on 7/11 where the apologized and indicated that I would be contacted. No one ever followed up. I went with another company for my $6000 fence.

Bill Winters came out to give us an estimate, he was a pleasure to deal with. Minor's completed the work to our specifications and when they said they would. No issues and I would absolutely use them again. I'm moving and am about to price them out for a fence at my new place.

They did a good job.The work was completed on time and the prices never changed.

It went very well. We were changing the layout of the yard, and the designer came out to the property on the same day as the paver company. They developed an excellent solution, and then Minor's Fence provided the installation. We are quite pleased with the final result!!! We had a question about something after the installation, and they came out the following week and made a change and resolved the issue. True professionalism, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!!!

Great. The fence is sturdy and well built. The worksite is neat and tidy.

We were pleased with the quality of the fence and the installation process. The company even followed up about one week after installation to be sure we were happy, and we reported favorably. The problem arose about 5 months later when we began talking to swimming pool contractors. Several visited our house, and all of them within 5 minutes pointed out that our fence did not meet code. The gates opened inward, but the building code for a swimming pool area requires them to open outward. I contacted Minor's Fences. They immediately acknowledged the mistake, saying that the gates do need to swing outward. They said they would come out and fix them. However, one of the gates is positioned on a slope. The gate could not swing outward without the bottom of the gate hitting the driveway. When this was pointed out, Minor Hairfield, the owner, refused to do anything. Minor said that they put the fence where we told them to, so they have no further responsibility. I said that they are the ones who know and understand building code, so they should have told us that the fence would not meet code if it was located in that position. It would have been easy to move the fence three feet. The gate could have opened outward, and we still would have been happy with the location. What professional contractor would do work that they know does not meet code? I asked Minor Hairfield to correct the fence so it would meet code. He refused to take any action at all and referred all further communication to his attorney. I reported the problem to the Better Business Bureau. Again, Minor's only response was for the BBB to talk to the attorney of Minor's Fences. I think it is terrible that a company would: 1. Knowingly install a fence that does not meet the building code 2. Refuse to take responsibility for the error 3. Refuse to correct their error If you want to work with a professional contractor who puts the customer first, I recommend staying far away from Minor's Fences.

I originally signed a contract to have the fence put in in June of 2013. The purpose of the fence was to contain my dog. Unfortunately, I had to give up my dog and therefore requested cancellation of the fence. They were wonderful about it. In December of 2013, I called them back and signed a new contract to install the fence for my new dog. They did a great job. They were professional and completed the work within one day. I asked them to come back out to reinforce one of the places where he was trying to dig out. They were back within a day and reinforced the area that I was concerned about. I would recommend them to anyone. They were not only good at what they did, but they were decent, honest people.

This job required he driveway to be cut to accommodate new posts to hold the gates. They cut and set the new posts in about 2-3 hours. They totally cleaned the area after they set the posts. They returned about 2 weeks later to re-hang the gates and fill in the side pickets to close the back yard again. My husband had asked for the 2 weeks for the new set posts to cure. They did a great job and were $450-500 less expensive than every other bid.

They did an excllent job. I was very pleased. They were very punctual and their pricing was very good. The fence is very heavy duty. Also, the gates are four feet wide, which makes it easy to get lawn equipment through the gates. The hinges are also heavy duty and we have never had an issue with it. They also use seasoned, quality wood. The fence is still in wonderful shape. The fence is 36 inches in the front yard and 41 inches in the back yard and the transition is very good. Once the work was done, the owner called just to be sure everything was done to our satisfaction.

I got this company from Angie's List and they did a very good job. They were quick, worked within my schedule and didn't leave a mess. They just finished about a week ago and I would recommend them.

They did a very good job! They worked cleanly and hauled away everything afterward.

Minor was hired to take out an old chain link fence and install a privacy fence and put up a new wood scalloped fence. It looks great.

We requested a quote for new driveway gates and a separate quote for the rest of the fence, since this would be done at a later time. They showed up on time, provided the quote quickly and did exactly what they said they would do for the price they quoted me. When there was a small issue a few months later they quickly returned to fix the problem to my satisfaction.

Never responded with promised fence estimate **Update - Bill did email us with a fencing quote after I posted my review. The quote seemed fair but we did not pursue it further.

Called about getting an estimate to install a new fence. Gave company my address and other contact info and three weeks later have still not heard anything. The lady on the phone told me she was going to give my information to the "Estimator" and he would contact me, and said that he is very busy.

We got estimates from four different fence companies and picked Minor's to do the work. They showed up on time, got right to work and the fence and four gates were installed in just a few days. They did an excellent job. I believe this fence would last for 100 years!. It is made with good quality materials and is very sturdy. We had them make it slightly higher in the back yard to be sure and contain our Great Pyrenees who loves to visit neighbors. Also, we had them raise the bottom of the fence so a grass trimmer would go under the fence all the way around. We chose to have the posts on the outside to break up the long run of pickets down the side of our lot and I'm glad we did. All of the these and quot;customand quot; things were included in the price. I would highly recommend this company and if this fence doesn't last for 100 years, we'll use them to build a new one. (If we're still around, that is.)

The estimator, Bill Winters, came to the house and gave me an estimate on the spot, with options for fence height, post type, gate size, and fence type. From the beginning, everything was straightforward. Minor's called me on numerouse occasions to make sure everything was scheduled and the crews (both the posts and the fences) called before coming and I was able to answer questions that the supervisor had just to make sure everything was going in the way we wanted it. The total project was finished a day later than they thought but the job was done first-rate. The fence crew supervisor made a point of telling me to make sure I gave them a call if anything went wrong at any time (such as a gate or latch) so that they could come back and fix it free of charge. The crews cleaned up everything before they left and it was difficult to tell a construction crew had been on the site. Minor's also followed up with a phone call to make sure the job was satisfactory. I found out after I had hired Minor's that they had built the fence around the yard of our prior house. We never had a problem with the fence the 15 years we lived there.

Pretty quickly the gate didn't work. I made 3 calls to them and each time they said they would come and fix it, but never did. I finally gave up, don't use the gate very much so this is an annoyance more than anything else, but I figure if I need a more substantial repair will they in fact come do it?

It took them a while to get to the work after the estimate, but I guess the weather didn't help. The work was done well and quickly. The gate did not work right and they came back and rebuilt it. They said the sun would continue to warp the wood and they would come back again if need be. I would use them again.

I would highly recommend this company, everyone was very polite, helpful and prompt.

Minor's was quick to return my calls, was on time for my first appointment, provided me with an accurate, written quote. The quality of the fence is great and they worked quickly. We were very pleased with this service and plan to use them for the rest of the fence once that needs to be replaced.

They were very nice and very helpful. I had the new fence put in before I moved into my new room. There was a small problem but they were able to correct it. I would use them again and would recommend them other.
