First off, to answer your question, yes, we are a legitimate company. We hold ourselves to a high level of integrity and put the safety and well-being of our employees above making a buck. Upon, doing the free estimate, our employee whom your wife held in high esteem in her review, witnessed an incident that made us decide to kindly decline doing business with you. He gave us a FIRST hand account as to what happened. When I told your wife that we had decided not to take on your job and wished her luck, she pressed for a reason. Without incident, one might find that odd. I simply stated that an incident took place and made our employee feel unsafe. We let it go at that, as that was the polite thing to do despite your wife's firm interrogation. Yes, all of this happened before any work was done or before a contract was signed because WE decided that based on your action, that we did not want to do any business with you which is our right to do. The reason that we do have FIVE STAR reviews is because we have amazing people running the company, amazing people working here that do exemplary work and because of that our customers share their positive experiences with others.
Fast forward a few weeks and your wife writes a scathing one-star review on our company. An inquiry was made as to why she gave us a bad review. She still acted as though she was unaware as to why we declined to do business with her/ you, yet in her review she made mention of "an incident" that took place with her husband. We asked that you remove your review as it was unfair and stated we would respond transparently. That was not a threat, we have every right to turn down a job and give reason as to why; and we most definitely have a right to refute a negative review. I am certain that readers of this might be able to read between the lines, but we have decided to take the high road and not blatantly expose your personal business.
While reviews by customers and potential customers should be used to help consumers, I often find it helps to read other reviews that individuals have written on other experiences that they have had. It clearly shows that some people cannot be satisfied and are always negative. It also gives insight to the temperament with which they treat others as is the case in this situation. For Discount Fence, your reviews have made us all the more grateful that we made the ethical choice to not do business with you. read more
