I hired you on May 6, 2015. During May a lot of rain but work could have been done such as the area closest to the house and including the foot gate. Several times you've lied that you'd be here And did not show. This has gone so far as to where we are forced to seek legal remedy. The pickets that were installed only have nail in each stringer and the stringers only have screw. This is not satisfactory as I believe you were cheating me on the price. Home Depot recommends 2. We asked you for more nails. The posts have been in the ground without any stringers or pickets and almost everyone needs to be replaced. The total job needs to be finished with the replacement of all posts and all bad stringers. I gave you $at the beginning to honor your half down. I gave you another $on July 31,2015. My demand is for you to refund all that money and we will bear the cost of hiring someone to pull the bad posts and repair or replace all bad stringers and last add nails. It will cost considerably more. If you refuse the refund the Amount in court could reach times that plus legal fees. Please send the check to our address or come by and give it to us. *** ***8/11/7:AM from ***You know I can run right out there with a checkI've don't post repair for bucks other than your jobI've lost money out thereMade nothing Plus Yall have my tools.Sent from my MetroPCS 4G Android device8/14/9:sent to American I've posted on Buildzoom, Red Beacon, Revdex.com, and Craig's list on my review of your work. If you want to fix the job or pay me back for the warranty you are claiming, then I'll take the reviews down. We are in contact with an attorney and will proceed. You claim on Red Beacon that you are bonded and insured. You also advertise a one year warranty. ***8/14/10:05Yes I'd like to finish the jobWe do double nailWe only use in screw on the railsYou will find no one else to install cedar at per footI never lied to you sirIf you thought we were out working jobs no we weren'tWe did repair for bucksI Don't understand how you think I'm trying to cheat youTo be totally honest I'm behind on money due to having to move the holesAnd the rock drilling ever postI agree we should have completed your job percentBut my hiring another person would not work due to me charging you 1/price on gates and per foot on fenceIf you want me to complete what I've started let me know.Sent from my MetroPCS 4G An8/18/18:to AmericanMy fence is a disaster. You advertise that you are insured and bonded. When you got sick, and then surgery, and then dehydrated , why didn't you turn this into your insurance. I just can Not believe you this this to us. I've went to three lawyers and I really do not want to sue you but you given no choice. I really thought you were honest.***8/18/9:PMI am really honestYour fence was fineAll we had to do is change out a few postAs I've told youI have over in your jobPlus you have me tools

This job was started 3 months ago,the customer was accommodated with a vey good price, lower than most companies would have charged. enjoyed conversation with customer at bid so offered a $14 per  linear foot installation at $11.Customer said they had waited 26 years for fence so weren't too...

concerned  on time frame of installation.     73 holes were started, each hole needed  rock drilled due to cap rock. There was an issue with the neighbor on the correct survey line of the property so we waited until it was resolved to finish the side. At that time All the holes that were started needed to be relocated, adding to the holes that needed to be rock drilled out.    Posts were all set in the ground except 8 posts that were standing in water after the Texas weeks of rain, waited to dry out as not to damage the tools. The fence was started and the posts that had warped were in process of getting replaced.    The customer had asked we add a second nail to the pickets which were intended to be doubled after the fence was complete. Our standard procedure on the 2x4 rails is to add 1- 3 1/2" deckmate screw at each post. If any warped 2x4's on ground or on incomplete panel bowed, it would've been replaced.     We had a little over $5100 in the job, tools, materials and labor.  Customer paid total to us $4364.  Work process was a bit slow due to the heat and health issues which required a few dr appts within that time frame. Customer had texted us that we were no longer welcome on property.   We emailed the customer and asked to complete the project that was started,  waiting on his reply.   As for the Home Depot stating the posts were what they call rejects, we only work through the pro-desk for our ordering & these posts were purchased in a bundle, at the full price they always offer them at,  they are the same products we have used numerous times before for years, they were not purchased in that  kind of state. we had talked to their local store pro-desk about the problem, they figured per the heat after all  the rain that it dried them out, so they twisted before railing and our store offered to replace them which  after we removed them we would've done.

Contractor ([redacted] owner of A-American Fence collected $1,250 to start a 38 foot long second story deck repair job on my spit level home over two months ago. The rest was to be paid upon completion. The owner [redacted] had delivered from Home Depot interior lumber and bags of concrete that are ruined because it sat out in the rain, when he abandoned the job. Within the first week, while the lumber was being delivered [redacted] had a couple of young men dig out the support footings to the 38 ft long second story deck and failed to add any support beams. Those two young men also broke my sprinkler lines during the digging. Since the deck is attached to the house it caused my house to shift and now I have cracks on my walls and a 3 ft by 6 ft double pain window to loose it's seal and turn foggy. I have called A-American Fence and left multiple messages and texts but they never return my calls, they just took my money and disappeared. A-American Fence left me with unneeded ruined material and in a worst situation than before they started with damage to my property. The way that deck was left it could have fallen and injured or killed someone. Companies like this should not be allowed to be in business!
