We live in a fantastic neighbourhood with decent sized yards and lots of mature trees. Our area is over 50 years old and I think the original 'chicken wire' fence is all that separated our neighbours in the back. We had to put in a fence as one of the neighbours was installing an in-ground pool and worked together to find the right company to put up the wood fence. Trying to make all the neighbours happy was a challenge but in the end, we're very happy with the outcome.
Lorry measured the length that was to have the fence on our property and truly understood the challenges involved. The quote was prepared to our satisfaction. Perhaps the only area for improvement was being required to drop off the deposit cheque to their office; it's not far away but was inconvenient (Visa or e-transfer was not an option).
Being that this was not a typical fence job, I was also not comfortable with the work schedule. Considering that it was October and the weather can be tricky, I would have preferred more advance notice. Once again, I do understand the coordination effort to be challenging.
The final product is very well done. The posts were all plumb and aligned perfectly. I am skeptical as to how long the posts will stay that way given that the ground is quite sandy. I wasn't present to inspect the depth the posts were installed and trust their professionalism. We had a last minute upgrade to add lattice (not in the photo) and have to note that Lorry had the insight to know that the original 5 foot height was not going to be satisfactory. His recommendation was exactly what ensured all parties involved were accepting of the final product.
The worksite was clean without leftover debris. And I was able to mail the final payment in. I know there are less expensive alternatives available. But in the end, I feel like this was a very good decision to go with Firm Fence because of their experience dealing with multiple parties.
