The "service" rep even forges your authorization signature on his iPad. The old owner handed over all customer credit card information to the new owner, so the new owners will charge your credit card even if you don't provide them credit card info and even if you decline to purchase (assuming you've used Thomas Giel in the past). New ownership is a firm called Gridiron Capital / GarageCo from the New York area. Not a Pittsburgh company. Candice Giel kept a small minority of the business, she does not control it. Services

Unfortunately at that time we weren't ready to move forward with the project. Fast forward to now. I had reached back out, Mike had double checked the measurements and provided and updated quote. We had the door ordered and once it arrived we had the installation scheduled. The installation team was great they communicated their estimated arrival and did a thorough job installing the new door. They also walked through features of the opener and how to sync to the keypad.

From the owner: At Annabella Fence, we’ve built our reputation on doing things the right way — not the easy way…read more We are a family-owned and operated company, and that shows in how we treat people. Clear communication, punctuality, and respect for your property are not extras — they are standards. From the first phone call to final walkthrough, you’ll always know what’s happening and what to expect. What truly sets us apart is our power-driven, mess-free installation process. We use professional non invasive equipment to drive posts directly into the ground whenever possible, creating a stronger, more stable foundation without the excessive digging, concrete mess, and lawn damage that traditional methods often leave behind. The result is a cleaner jobsite, a more durable fence, and a better overall experience for our customers. We stand behind our work with a 5-year craftsmanship warranty on every installation, in addition to offering professional-grade products — many backed by manufacturers’ limited lifetime warranties. We don’t install big-box materials. We use premium fencing systems designed for long-term performance and curb appeal. Our customers consistently mention our communication, professionalism, and clean installations in their reviews — and we’re proud of the raving feedback we receive. If you’re looking for a fence company that combines innovation, durability, and old-fashioned customer care, Annabella Fence delivers a higher standard from start to finish.

Our basement was a hodgepodge of three different floorings, one drop and one conventional ceiling,…read moreand two walls in the laundry area covered in plastic by a waterproofing company. Jason and his team renovated the whole basement by installing drywall, replacing the drop ceiling with a conventional ceiling and new lighting, and covering the entire floor with functional but attractive laminate. They went above and beyond to make sure we were involved in the design and satisfied with the results. In addition, they replaced our kitchen floor, which had some water damage, with beautiful ceramic tile to complement the existing quartz counters. This is the second major project Jason has done for us. He previously remodeled a bathroom for us, replacing all the fixtures and flooring, as well as installing a pocket door. We are very happy with all the work that was done and would highly recommend Building Buddies.
