Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness Requested quote in early May for 2 replacement post. Gentleman told me 4 weeks from signed contract. No follow up or work yet to be completed. Called 3 times with no returned phone calls. Finally requested a refund and will find someone else.

Butch did a great job explaining the product and answered all of my questions. My fence looks amazing as well as the custom gate works well. The installers were professional with high quality standards and very punctual. Thank you Butch, installers, and Action Fence Services: Wood fence installation, Fence installation, Custom fabrication

I have used this company in the past and they were great. But now not at all. I need some repair work on my fence due to the high winds. I called end of Feb and left my contact#. After 2 weeks called back and couldn't leave info as mailbox was full. Called again in a few days and message stated to fill out form on website (this is now March) which I did. Heard nothing and am perturbed, but since they were great in the past, thought I would give them a courtesy call to let them know before I left a review.
Finally got through to a person who apologized and stated they were going through changes. Took my info and stated he would have someone get back to me. Guess what - no one did. Called again, got through to an estimator Anthony on April 12 who said he would come out the following week and gave me his #. So heard nothing and followed up via text on the 21st and 25th. I'm done. Worst service ever. Not sure how long they will be in business with this crap

The workers are very nice and hard working, we had Robert. It's unfortunate for this review since the reason is Butch. If you run across him he'll be very difficult to get ahold of (especially when he has your money) and was very disrespectful and rude to me as the customer. They need to hire a better front man, and I'm not the only one who's run across this issue with him. Just be warned.
