The wife who owns the company is nice enough to deal with/very professional but her husband who does the actual construction can be really nasty about wanting his $ asap. I learned a long time ago not to pay in full until a job is completely done. He wanted me to pay before the posts from my old fence were buried (which I had written into the contract) and thus anyone walking barefoot/or my dogs would cut their foot badly if they stepped on them.

Trusting his word that they were found, I paid him and subsequently hired him to build a fence. However, when he returned to mark the yard for the city, it became clear the pins were never actually located. His markings were significantly off and did not match my official property survey--at one point, his 'guess' even marked my own trampoline as being outside my property line. He began digging in multiple areas, including near my neighbor's property, without any certainty of where the lines were. When confronted, he admitted in writing that this was his first time performing this service and that the results were incorrect. While he refunded my $500 fence deposit, he refused to refund the $100 for the failed pin service. Following this, his communication became incredibly unprofessional. Homeowners beware: Incorrect property markings can lead to serious legal disputes with neighbors or city code violations. If I had built my fence based on his markings, it would have been a disaster. I strongly recommend hiring a qualified professional for property lines and being very cautious before hiring this business.

Numerous safety, building code, manufactures installation, and cosmetic issues have not been addressed. As you follow the time line of events you will see that I have made multiple attempts to meet with, talk to and email Fox Valley Fence to resolve the issues with the incomplete installation of the fence. Fox Valley Fence refuses to meet, call back or return emails. June 2nd received a quote on a fence. June 17th signed contract with Fox Valley Fence and gave the salesman installation information from the manufactures web site. The contract was for 372 linear feet of PostMaster 4 foot cedar, dog ear, 4 inch picket fence with 2 gates. Week of June 23rd called to check the scheduled installation date. Was told July 3rd. July 3rd installation of the fence was supposed to start. July 8th contacted Fox Valley Fence. Was told that they were waiting for their best crew to free up and would start on July 14th. July 12th Fox Valley Fence showed up unannounced and started digging holes. July 13th I checked the holes and found them to not meet building code requirements. The holes were between 22 and 36 inches. The building code requires 42 inches. July 14th contacted Fox Falley Fence and told them of the depth issue along with issues of how the PostMaster posts would not be at the correct depth. July 14th contacted the city building inspector and told him about the depth issue. July 14th the building inspector failed the inspection of the holes. July 14th talked to Fox Valley Fence and was assured that the fence would be installed correctly and by code. July 14th the building inspector passed the initial re-inspection July 15th upon arrival at home noticed that the fence was not properly installed. The foreman told me that someone would be by the following morning to discuss the problems with the fence. July 16th I stayed home from work to meet with Fox Valley Fence. After many calls and messages I was able to get ahold of the salesman who stated that he would not be able to make it until that afternoon. July 16th Late in the afternoon Greg Dienhart General Manager of Fox Valley Fence (Northern Illinois Fence) and was told that no one from Fox Valley Fence would be able to stop by that day. Greg scheduled a meeting for 5:30 on the 17th to meet. July 17th at 12:24 pm I received a call from Greg Miller from Fox Valley Fence who stated that he had stopped by the house and looked at the fence. Greg stated that he did not see any problems. Greg did not pick up pictures, notes and installation manual that I left in the front door for Fox Valley Fence. July 17th I talked with Greg Dienhart and he refused to have anyone meet with me. I emailed Greg a copy of the notes of the issues that I had at the time. July 17th Called to talk to Greg Dienhart and was told that he would call me back because he was in a meeting. July 23rd Greg Dienhart emailed back with a partial list of issues that they would correct. July 25th I received an Invoice from Fox Valley Fence. I called Fox Valley Fence and told them the fence had not been completed and asked to talk to Greg Dienhart and was told that he was in a meeting and would call me back. July 29th I emailed Greg Dienhart again with a full list of issues that needed to be addressed. August 4th I received a phone message from Fox Valley Fence that my final payment was due on receipt of invoice. August 4th I called Fox Valley Fence and explained that the fence had not been finished and asked to talk with Greg Dienhart, again Greg was in a meeting and I was told that he would call me back. August 14th I emailed Greg Dienhart again to schedule a time to finish and repair the fence. August 14th I called to talk to Greg Dienhart and was told that he was in a meeting and would call me back. Following is a list of some of the issues regarding the fence installation by Fox Valley fence: 1) The fence installation has not been completed per the contract. o 6 inch boards were used instead of 4 inch boards. o End posts are missing trim pieces. o The PostMaster posts are not installed per PostMaster installation instructions. o All the needed materials have not been delivered or installed. 2) The fence installation has not been installed per the manufactures requirements and installation instructions. o Pickets are not centered over the PostMaster posts and do not cover the steel posts. Corner posts are set in backwards. o Rail pieces are not attached with clips and are splitting due to improper installation. PostMaster posts protrude above the wood pickets. They should not protrude above the top rail. o Wrong size wood pieces were used. o Missing trim pieces on ends of fence. o Corner, gate and end posts not properly wrapped in wood.

Responsive Roofing

Homeownership is hard. It comes with decisions. BIG ONES. Decisions that are not only costly, but…read morecomplex. Making the wrong decision on a contractor can not only cost you monetarily, but can have a heavy price if the work is done cheaply or by cutting corners. This being said, roofing contractors have gotten a bad name over the last decade or so due to the prevalence of "storm chasers", or contractors that travel around, quick to promise new roofing and exteriors fully paid for by insurance and without a cost to the homeowner. There are contractors who lack integrity and honesty, and will pull any string available to get you to sign for subpar workmanship and materials, while you pay the premium. Enter Responsive Roofing. My first encounter with Ron was several years ago, when I had been in my home for a few years. At the time, I was worried about the age of my roof and had called his company to come inspect it. To my surprise, Ron told me that while my roof was older, it still had some time on it and that he would suggest coming back in the next 3-5 years to check again. I've gotta admit, I was impressed, if not a little shocked. He didn't try to use fear tactics, or sell me on something I didn't need. He spoke honestly, and gave me an understanding of the true situation and timeline I was looking at. As you can guess, this left an impression on me. Fast forward to summer of 2025. Remembering my encounter with Ron several years back, I again called him to inspect my roof and give me his fair opinion. He of course did exactly that. It was time to move forward with our project. We decided to add on improved shingles and venting, new gutters, and some Hardie Board siding to replace wood paneling that was deteriorated on the front of our house. Such a large purchase is nerve wracking, to say the least. But I cannot stress enough how absolutely ACCURATE the name of this business is. "Responsive Roofing" is not just a name. It encompasses every aspect of how Ron runs his business. From promptly answering every possible question I could have, to providing estimates and brainstorming solutions for what we wanted to accomplish, I could not be more impressed. His crews were friendly and polite, and left not a trace that they were here each day. Ron was on the job site, and was so proactive in protecting our landscaping and house exterior so that we never had to worry that something would go wrong. The finished work (see pictures) was impeccable. Every detail was perfect, and the value of our home and increase in curb appeal was everything we could have wanted in this project. Lastly, I learned SO much from Ron. It is evident that it is important to him to make sure his clients understand exactly what they are purchasing, as well as the function of each part. At no part in this process did I stress that I had made the wrong decision because Ron's responsiveness and attention to detail was so strong that I never needed to. Today, as I admire my home every time I pull into the driveway, I am so thankful that I chose Responsive Roofing. I sincerely hope that anyone in need of roofing, siding, or exterior work will consider them as well. You won't regret it!
