We sent a formal demand letter and ultimately had to pursue small claims court to resolve it.

We wish we'd done more due diligence before paying anything upfront.

That's when I looked for companies that do flatwork. I like the idea of local, family-run companies and found Hoffman Concrete. I also like that their website says they offer "Excellent Customer Service." I haven't had a chance to see that firsthand. I called them on a weekday mid-morning and got their voicemail. I left a message and then later received a message back with a callback number. I've called three more times since then and got voicemail.

Soulard Garage Door Co fixed our doors and did a great job! The home insurance company sent another company first and then sent Soulard to help us out... and we are glad they did. The gentleman who performed the install was helpful, friendly, polite and capable. In 2-3 hours he installed two new openers and replaced the inside buttons and the outside keypad. His work was neat and clean and now our doors open consistently and both of the cars are connected with HomeLink! Thank you, Soulard Garage Door and Fence Company!

I highly recommend them.

I recently had Select Fencing replace the 6' privacy fence around my property, and I couldn't be…read morehappier with the results. Since my house sits on a double lot with an automatic gate, this was a fairly involved project, so I got bids from three different companies before deciding who to hire. Casey Arnold, the owner, stood out from the start. He was personable and easy to work with, and his bid was not only the most competitive of the three but also by far the most detailed. Where the other estimates were vague, Casey's spelled out specifics like post depth, the amount of concrete used, the type of fasteners, and hand-picked lumber. That level of transparency gave me real confidence going into the project. Casey and his crew showed up on time and worked with genuine care throughout -- both tearing out the old fence and installing the new one. They were mindful of my landscaping as well as my neighbor's, and nothing was damaged in the process. The finished fence looks fantastic -- the top line is perfectly level from end to end, which really shows the attention to detail that went into it. The whole job was also completed on schedule. If you're looking for a local, small business that combines fair pricing with real craftsmanship and professionalism, I'd recommend Select Fencing without hesitation.

I chose Select Fencing based on their positive reviews, but unfortunately my experience has not…read morematched that. Early in the process, they removed a gate I had specifically asked to keep. I let it go at the time, but in hindsight it reflects a lack of attention to detail on the initial installation. I wish I had paid closer attention at the time of install. While the fence looked great at first, multiple issues have come up within six months. There are nails protruding through several areas, some boards were never properly attached, and both gates have repeatedly failed to function correctly--we often have to force them open just to get in and out of the yard. A wooden topper has also come loose and is now flapping in the wind. To their credit, they did respond to my initial concerns, but new problems continue to surface. Taken together, this raises concerns about the overall quality and durability of the work. I would recommend thoroughly inspecting the installation before considering the job complete.

Update 1-9-26: The sales manager reached out to me directly after reading my online review. He…read morelistened to my concerns, asked how he could make it right, and agreed to make a price adjustment. As noted in my original review, the work was done well, and I am now satisfied with both the repairs and the resolution. ******** I wish this were a more positive review, but I would not recommend Kirkwood Fence. Our salesperson estimated that our fence repair would take 4-8 hours. He explained that the company subcontracts repair work and books labor in half-day or full-day blocks, at $750 or $1,500 respectively. Based on his estimate of the scope of work, I agreed to a full day of labor. The written estimate sent later that day initially overstated the cost by about $600, which was later corrected and approved. On the day of the repair, the crew arrived on time but had been given incomplete information and brought only half of the required materials. They were able to return to the shop, pick up the remaining parts, and complete the repair by lunchtime. Once work began, the repair itself took just over two hours. Despite this, I was charged for a full day of labor. I tried to discuss my concern with the owner, but was referred back to the salesperson, who indicated that no adjustment was possible. The repair work itself was well done and the installation team was great, but my experience with the company left me feeling I'd been suckered.

Almost every single post had multiple scratches. We called and complained the first day and was told they would touch it up. After installation was complete, it was evident no touch ups were done. The owners stated that they can't control how the poles arrive to them. They suggested we buy paint and touch them up ourselves. When you spend 6 grand on a fence you expect there to be minimal damage to start. After multiple emails, they stated that when they had time they could bring a can of spray paint to try to pacify us. Also gate was very uneven among other issues. Still charged us full amount even though the poles were all damaged.

We engaged Nicholas Womack to install our kitchen and kitchen island…read more The install was not an easy one. It's our first home. So our first kitchen. And we went in blind. Bought some cabinets from Menards and boy was it hard to install. But Nicholas was a joy to work with. He didn't rush and scrimp on quality. He made sure to take his time and ensure the cuts and measurements were correct. And he is very honest as well. What was supposed to be a 2 day install, he was upfront, and immediately told us he needed more time. Which we are glad he told us. So we extended the project for another day. Overall, happy that we worked with Nicholas. He even gave us a discount. Despite the extension.

I recently used Womack Home Improvements for a pretty big job: completely remodeling our main…read moreupstairs bathroom and building a new full bathroom from scratch in the finished basement. Nick handled the whole thing himself, and honestly, it was one of the best contractor experiences we've had. Nick's straightforward and easy to talk to--he showed up when he said he would, kept me in the loop every step, and never once tried to upsell me on stuff I didn't need. For example, when we were picking out fixtures for the upstairs bath, he pointed out a couple of more expensive options that looked flashy but wouldn't hold up as well in our hard water, then suggested solid mid-range ones that were better quality for the price. Same thing with the basement: I was worried about moisture issues down there, and he recommended adding a good exhaust fan and specific waterproofing under the tile without pushing a full waterproof membrane that would've doubled the cost unnecessarily. He just gave honest pros and cons so we could decide. The work itself is insane. In the upstairs bathroom, he tore out the old awkward layout and reconfigured it so the shower feels spacious now instead of cramped--he tiled the shower floor with these little hexagonal tiles and there's not a single uneven edge or lip anywhere--you can run your hand over it and it feels like one solid piece. He built a recessed niche that's actually deep enough for full-size bottles (most contractors make them too shallow and you're constantly knocking stuff over). Down in the basement he basically turned a blank corner into a full bath without tearing the place apart. The walk-in shower has a little built-in bench and a handheld wand he mounted exactly where I use it every day. The floor tile he picked has just enough texture that it doesn't feel like an ice rink when it's wet, but still looks clean and modern. He even threw in a moisture barrier and mold-resistant board behind the drywall even though I never asked--he just said "I always do it this way so you don't have problems later." He cleaned up meticulously after each day (no drywall dust tracked through the house), and when a small delay came up with a delayed vanity delivery, he communicated right away and adjusted the schedule without drama. Nick works completely solo, shows up every single morning at 8:00 sharp, sweeps up before he leaves, and answers his phone when you call. The guy is just rock-solid honest and genuinely nice to be around. If you need real work done right the first time and you live in the St. Louis area, call Nick. I already have him booked for the kitchen next spring. Highly recommend.

If they screw something up and say they will be back... you can count on a no show, no call, and the silent treatment. As someone who has spent north of ~40k, it's sad. You wouldn't expect that from Mike. Still have the red wax and colored caulk smeared all over my new deck boards and face boards. They did make sure to soak it with gasoline before leaving. Thats awesome on composite. Like Mike says, "just hide it with WD40 if it still shows." I'd love to remove this. I'd love to have him call me back. If you see this and are considering using him and he picks up the call. Ask about me. Tell him I'd love a call back. Respect is earned just like reputation. Sad. Mike if you see this, don't worry about sealing the colored and stamped concrete I had you do under the deck. You can keep the money. I got it taken care of. If you needed to borrow money you should've just asked. Taking advantage of people is the wrong way. Karma sucks, I hope you work it out.

We were very excited about what we heard from Mike, so we hired them. We were given a time frame that they would start, but it ended up being several months later. That winter was an extremely cold one. No problem! We also agreed that they would take down the leaning part of the fence right away. They did not do that. As a result, we received a violation notice from the city. Mike was nice enough to contact the city and let them know we had hired them and came and took down the leaning part. Fast forward a few months later, they finally get the fence up. Shortly thereafter there was an issue. We were told we have a 7 year warranty, so we called them. After multiple calls, they came out and fixed it. Great! Currently, one of my gates is literally falling apart. So, of course we reached out to Mike again. My husband initially reached out to Mike at the beginning of last year. He told my husband, they were behind again because of the weather, but they would take care of us. Great! No problem! Quite a bit of time passed so we started reaching out to Mike again. We texted and called all of last year and have not received any kind of response. I don't typically do reviews, but to be completely non-responsive is not ok. Unfortunately, they do not honor their word, so we will have to find another company to fix our fence. I really hate that they have chosen to do business this way. I would not recommend them.
