Initial Business Response / [redacted] (1000, 5, 2015/06/10) */ We have given the matter due diligence and followed up with our crew members regarding the items the customer complained aboutThey have stated the damage she is accusing them of causing was not caused by themAs they have no reason to be dishonest with us since we do not dock them if they accidently damage something while working, we believe their statement to be trueThis is not something that applies to the work we completed for the customer and should not be viewed as such Initial Consumer Rebuttal / [redacted] (3000, 7, 2015/06/20) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) While I understand that they believe their employees have no reason to be dishonest because they aren't "penalized" for any accidental damage that is caused, that does not mean they are always honestI suspect that because I had to insist that they get the job done in the one day I had been promised, that this may have resulted in some crews being assigned to the job who had not planned on working the additional timeI think that the damage may have occurred because they were in a hurry to complete the jobI would think that if whoever used that spigot discovered that it was broken, they would have informed me of it so I was aware of the damage and they would want me to know they weren't the cause of itBut since I did not receive any such report, I still stand my stance that someone from that crew broke the spigotI am sure it was an accident but perhaps whoever did it just did not follow their protocol of reporting it and as more time went by, it became more difficult to report itI didn't even discover it until just over a week after the job was complete and by the time I received a response from the office notifying them of the damage, it was weeks after the jobBy the time I heard back from the office, almost a month had gone bySo, I believe that whoever broke it forgot to report it and now that this complaint has been filed, it makes it more difficult for they and the company to take responsibility for the damage
Americas Backyard is fantasticWe received our quote and they were at our home ready to install our fence just over a week laterThey worked very fast, finished a big project in just over a day

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I refuse to hammer off and reuse fence posts for a third time.

All I would like are new post ordered so the job can be completed as it would have been in the initial install. I gave the owner a chance to fix the problem. He tried his way. It did not resolve the problem. I am still requesting that the owner use the remaining 4 posts from my order and one new post to complete the project that I paid IN FULL for.
