Description of Work: Kevin and his crew built me a 4 1/2 foot high, wood frame fence to finish enclosing my backyard for dogs. I asked him to fabricate the fence from a photo I'd taken of a neighbor's fence and they went above and beyond to create a beautiful fence within my budget. They even recommended different wire to ensure my smaller dog couldn't squeeze through the openings. I would recommend them to anyone. They are so great and very conscientious.

Description of Work: Very Poor way of running a business. In November 2015 we had a bad windstorm..which blew our fence down...Called many times and had to leave a message... Kept calling as our six foot tall wooden fence was in neighbor's driveway. Finally reached Kevin... An appointment was made two weeks after initially speaking to him to view damage and give a bid. I had a claim with my insurrance company pending and finally had to get help, as I'm disabled, to wire fence up and out of neighbor's driveway. On the day of my scheduled appointment no one showed up. I had cancelled some very important medical appointments to be home and answer questions on rebuilding the fence and finally get a bid. I called Mending Fences; and Kevin informed me he had his wife email me that day at six in the morning that day stating they would not be coming, and to just take pictures. From the pics he would send a bid. I questioned how would he know the length of the fence from a pic and the thickness of my cedar boards; let alone the access and any salvage? After my question; I was told there were many fences to fix and I was in better shape than others who had loose dogs... He never asked me if I had a dog..which I do. The tone of his response was not positive. I have copies of it. In it he also stated to call someone else. I informed him; I never heard of a bid from a pic. He said just send some pics and I can give you a bid. I took pics and sent them anyway. They acknowledged receipt of the pics and stated they would get a bid to me as soon as possible. That was done on Dec. 2nd, 2015. I never heard from him again. Because we had a storm and businees was good, Kevin's responses were not very professional. | |It took 4 days to reach him via phone calls and two weeks to schedule an appointment which he cancelled the last minute...then no respone from his requested pics...Today's date is the 14th of DEC. Now I honestly cannot rate him positively. I've never ran my business in such an unprofessional manner.

Response from Mending Fences and More Inc
We are sorry to see[removed member's name] grade for work that was not even done. We also have already apologized to him concerning our late response to his phone calls. We, too, were hit by the windstorm and our power was out for almost five days. Thus, we did not have our phone or answering machine available to us. We were doing our very best to return all the MANY phone calls and set up times to do estimates when the power returned - as well as take care of damages to our own place. My schedule for a couple of weeks was very hectic, to say the least. I had to cancel or reschedule other bids also due to many timing factors - further wind, rain, short daylight hours, many long detours around neighborhoods due to downed trees, etc. To save time with those customers who are farther out (the [removed member's name]are a 35 minute drive) I have been able to do an estimate after seeing pictures and gathering information. I have worked on hundreds of fences, and have a pretty good idea of their structure. I did tell [removed member's name] that this would be just an estimate, and if they were good with the initial cost, I would come out and do a firm bid. Yes, I did suggest he try to find someone closer to him if he needed to get his work done quickly, as I would with anyone else we were not able to get to right away. There was no "tone" in that note. I was just being honest about not being able to meet his needs as quick as he needed them to be met. We did receive their pictures on December 2 and sent Estimate #2242 out to him on December 3. We did not know that he did not receive it.

Description of Work: The wind storm blew a panel of the 6 foot vinyl privacy fence loose from the post at the top. They popped that back into place and put in a stop screw. The second repair was to the gate, which had a broken panel. They replaced it, but had to cut the replacement panel to size. The cut was not very straight and a little jagged, which I was not happy with. But they were very good in getting out here promptly to reattach the loose panel to the post, which I appreciated. Otherwise, there would have been further damage.

Description of Work: Mending Fences repaired a front area of our fence and repaired a gate. The work they did entailed installing three post supports and shoring up a gate area that we no longer wanted to use in that fashion, along with repairing a second gate. The work took just over two hours and if it wasn't for the new posts I would have never known they were in the yard. They took all the dirt they dug up and filled some holes in the yard and along the other fence line that our dog had dug. The fence, which was leaning forward, is now straight and sturdy. This is who I will call anytime I need fence work and have already recommended them to two other people. Kevin was great to work with.

I called and asked for a bid back in January 2013 and Kevin came the next day. Looked at the damage and gave us our bid by the end of the day (emailed it). We were pleased with the bid so decided to go with Mending Fences. We had to wait for the weather to improve so they could take out the old post and put in the new post and pour concrete. Kevin kept in touch with us for the two months we had to wait for the weather to improve. Once the weather improved they put us on the list and emailed us the time and date they would be at the house. Kevin and another man, came on time and went to work immediately. They were both polite and got the job completed within about an hour. Upon inspecting the chain link fence on two sides I can't even tell where the old chain link and the new chain link meet together. They did a superior job and I would use them again in a heart beat.
Description of Work: We had a corner chain link fence that was hit by a car in the December snows that needed to be replaced and repair. The old metal post had to be replaced and the chain link fence on two sides needed to be removed and replace.

Kevin called me right back after I left my initial message and came by that afternoon. I had a detailed estimate the next day. The pricing was slightly more than I had from my estimate from another company (that's NOT on AL, btw) but when I looked at the materials Kevin was using, including the galvanized steel posts he uses, the metal frames for the gates, and the high grade cedar, the quote was very competitive. Kevin and Paul came out when the said they would and got to work. As you know, the weather hasn't been the best lately, including some freezing temps, so they were slightly delayed setting posts but otherwise they moved along without a hitch. Kevin and Paul are very knowledgeable and are hard workers. They were happy to answer questions or make accomodations if I asked. They're great to deal with. The finished project looks terrific.
Description of Work: We had a new perimeter cedar fence and two gates installed.

These men are all about working hard, doing things right and caring about making you happy with the outcome. They wasted no time getting the job started, knew exactly what they were doing and were finished in no more than 6 hours, including time to clean up whatever mess there was. Every one of the men was extremely pleasant, polite and professional and it's apparent that they all get along with each other very well. There was a sense of true teamwork and friendship, not to mention an obvious work ethic that didn't depend on the presence of the boss. I never saw any of the men standing idle or even taking a break the entire time. The result is a beautifully solid repaired fence that will likely withstand the test of time and gates that are finally functional after 20+ years of weathering and the poor efforts of other fence installers. I should also mention that the other estimate I got was double the amount and that company only saw a need to replace 3 posts versus the 5 that Mending Fences replaced. In other words, Mending Fences wanted to fix the problem completely, not just put a bandaid on it that would result in another repair down the road. I strongly recommend Kevin and his amazing crew, both for their skill and their attitude. This is the rare kind of company that you could give your key to and trust while you're at work, but then you'd be missing the fun of watching and talking to them (i.e. bothering them while they try to work).
Description of Work: Kevin and his men righted a falling fence whose posts had rotted and the weight of ivy had at a 45 degree angle. It entailed jackhammering through concrete, installing new metal support posts and pouring new concrete. They had to cut away ivy in the 5 post areas, but they did it so carefully that the loss of coverage is minimal. They also did the new concrete so nicely that it's hard to tell where it was patched. The fence is completely and solidly vertical again for the first time in years. The other repair they did was to the 2 gates, one that had over the years become more and more difficult to open. The other gate worked well, but opened in the wrong direction from the back yard, making it impossible to drive a snowblower from there to the front yard sidewalks when blocked by snow.

I have to say that the experience with Mending Fences was the best I have ever had with any contractor I have ever hired and would trust the with anything i have to have done.
Description of Work: installed both chainlink and cedar fencing on a hard to work with rock wall. Workers were extremely friendly and caring about the job they were doing. Complete cleanup after completion, were very careful around flowers and plants. I will definately have them back for more work in the future and highly recommend them.

Everything went fine. He was the least expensive guy after speaking with a lot of people. It ranged from $2000 to his quote of around $600. Other companies want to remove my chain link fence but he said he didn’t have to. He came with a crew and worked hard. He came when he said he would too.
Description of Work: He put up a privacy fence for me.
