Overall great job on the project, but terrible customer service and communication
The actual job of installing a 55 foot fence in the backyard and two 8 foot fences in the front with a gate took all of 2 days to complete, and they did an excellent job with that. However, actually getting people out to do this took over 2 months, and that was after paying for 50% of the project up front. Nobody at the main office ever had any idea what was going on and would always refer me back to my sales contact, who was pretty much impossible to get a hold of by phone and took over a week to respond to any emails. I actually had to call and email 3 different people over the course of 2 weeks after the project was done so I could pay off the remaining balance! I love my new fence, but I'm not sure it was worth the 2 months of aggravation I had to go through to get it.
Top Quality product,done on time by professional team.
The team work and professional performance was matched by the quality of their product. Top quality craftsmanship.
Poor Service / Solid Product
Splitrail was not good at all in terms of communication prior to the work being done. They did not return calls or emails. I also was required by them to meet Comcast/Xcel at home to locate underground lines. I cancelled appointments to meet them at my house at 1pm. When nobody showed up, I called Splitrail and was told that I was 'waived' given a database search, but nobody thought to inform me. However, the ultimate product was good. I wasn't at all sure there would be a fence around my yard when I arrived home on a Friday evening, but low and behold there was.
Lack of communication
The fence is great. Excellent workmanship. Quality product. I had a problem with the Split Rail Fence Representative returning my calls and emails. I found piles of dirt on my property where the drilled the fence post holes. They did not reconnect and secure my fence on my property and I had to request it be secured and reconnected in the front and back of my property. The workers seemed not to want to fix the issue. But after calls to Split Rails Fence it was taken care of. The workers did not leave my side of the property as the found it. I would recommend Split Rail Fence because of the product quality and workmanship but caution close monitoring.
Great job on our fence.
SRFC did a great job on our 4' Cedar Rail fence with welded wire. They were very professional and did the work right on schedule. We had 300+' of fencing that they finished in 2 days. I would definitely have them do more work if/when I needed it and recommended them to others. We have had numerous complements on the fence from neighbors and friends. Everyone likes it. Except our dog. It's doing a great job of keeping him in the yard. Keep up the great work.
Terrible Customer Service
Made an appointment with Larry to give us an estimate on our fence damage. He did not show up. When I called to find out why he said he thought ou appointment was 30 minutes earlier and he saw a woman driving away and thought it was my wife. When I asked why he didn't come to the door he said he thought no one was home. I informed that I was inside waiting for him. When I asked if he could still come by he said he was across town. Then he informed me that the compny didn't do repair work anyway (even though the website clearly staes they do). Glad I didn't contract with this firm. Who knows what the work woukd be like.
Disappointed
Poor customer service. I had to call multiple times to verify the install date of posts and then again for fence. Once completed, mud and dirt on fence, a small gap in one section and concrete chunks left in yard. Post caps not placed securely.
Split Rail Fence did an excellent job!
Split Rail Fence Company, lead by Chris Stephens, did an excellent job on the fence build between my neighbors and myself. He offered a competitive price and communicated with me when contractors were coming to the property. I evaluated the build with my neighbors and we all agreed that it was a job well done. Thank you Chris!
Split one section with a neighbor and added on a small job facing my street.
Pleased with the tear-out, post setting and completion.
Split rail
Had 2 8ft sections of concrete split rail wing fences and a gate with 2"x4" wire fence applied to the inside of my existing fence to contain our dogs per HOA. Things started off great they installed the wing fences within the first 3 to 4 weeks but the gate they had a little trouble with. They came out twice and tried to install a wood picket gate and I rejected the installation before they could get started. Each time I explained the HOA requires a steel picket gate and I showed him the drawing and asked both times to contact the shop with what we needed. A week or two went by and I heard nothing so I called my salesman and we got it figured out that his proposal just stated "gate" not specifying wood or steel. He got the steel one on order and 4-5 weeks later and with an additional $250 we got what the HOA specified. The HOA came out last Friday and we are awaiting their approval. I believe that the initial miscommunication as well as the general lack of communication contributed largely to the extreme delays. Split rail fence did a professional job during the times they were actually onsite.
