Buyer beware! TFG/ Shawn installed a fence for my new home. During the installation he would…read morepromise to come out and work on the fence on certain days and not show up, wouldn't text, call, email or notify me at all. He has zero respect for your time and could care less that you waited all day. He says that he warranty's his work but does not. He did the same thing when it came to warranty work he said I'll be there to check things out on this day and never shows. Then promises more dates that he will be out and again no call no show. I had to have another company come out to do repairs and they pointed how sloppy the work was. Some posts where 8 ft apart others were 10 feet. The gates are all messed up, brackets for the wood were completely missed in some cases. I have posts that are one to two inches off. Pay the extra money and go with a company that is proven and has good reviews.

2 stars because he builds a great fence. However, don't expect him to honor the warranty. Within…read more6 weeks of our fence being built, we have dozens of cracked pickets. We paid him and hired him for inside work he claimed he could do. No reason to think he couldn't, as he advertised interior work on FB. He was supposed to do a shower, seal and stain fence, and replace the cracked and popped pickets under his warranty. Fast forward about 2 months, and I've got a partially tiled floor and some tile up the walls. All done with improper materials, and the shower pan slopped into the walls and a crooked drain, along with the wet wall being crooked and not secured to the adjacent wall. In other words, set up to fail and leak had he completed the job. He stopped showing up, rarely communicating, and when he did it was excuse after excuse. I finally called him out on the shower not even being started correctly. His reason was "Herb was supposed to do that, not me, life happens ", and that he was dealing with stuff in his head. I posted a review on the group I found him and within minutes he messaged after days of no communication saying he would fix the fence under his warranty and refund our money for the shower. We have to completely remove and demo everything he started. He used mastic to set the floor and glass tiles on wall...not industry standard, and the bucket clearly stated not for use on floors that get wet! He set wall tiles with 1/4" hardy board, when it should have been 1/2". After a month he still hasn't returned. Mind you he also left all of his tools here. I was left to clean up all the debris from what he did because he only cleaned up after himself the first day or two. He showed up 4 or 5 days, the last 2 or 3 times he was here 2-3 hours at best. Our most recent communication after I posted on FB again was that he was going through his insurance, and that I shouldn't be posting about this on FB because he wasn't even supposed to do the work. Uh not my problem you agreed to do the work. He not so politely accused me of costing him work and said I just want my money I need to leave him alone so he can make money. He wouldn't give me his insurance info, said to refund me $1800 was going to cost him $4000 with his insurance. Yeah makes zero sense huh? He ended up blocking me after he went off on me. So only consider hiring him if you're ok with your fence not having a warranty. And plan on pickets cracking and popping soon after install because as he says that's what they're supposed to do. Two stars is too many, however, like I said the fence is beautiful, we just have a few dozen pickets we need to replace that should have been done by him!

We had them installed today 11-8-2024. There was a crew of 4 that installed the windows, it took them about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job. There was a bit of miscommunication about a window sill, the outside of one of them ended up being replaced. The crew didn't clean up any of the saw dust or wood chips from removing the old windows. Edit: 1/18/2025. We decided to paint the inside of our house, walls, doors entryways, windows etc. The caulking that Honey Badger used is NOT PAINTABLE. Which is a real bummer. Wish they used paintable caulk. When painting the paint just beads up and shrinks on the caulk. Therefore after painting, you have to wipe off the paint from the caulk because it doesn't dry at all.
