Then, after you have given them thousands of dollars, they drag their feet and refuse to schedule the job until you jump through additional hoops that were never spoken about prior to the 50% deposit. And since they have your money now, with little way to get out of it unless you sue them, you have no power to make them do what they are supposed to do. Even after that, more over-promise and under-deliver. they convinced me to let them install ahead of another yard contractor, saying they would do install the next week if I let them go first, and then backed out on the promised timeframe via text after it was too late to get the other contractor (landscaper) back in time. (and the delay will likely now turn into AT LEAST 2 additional weeks because the following week is now supposed to rain all week. I paid them over a month ago. I still have no fence and no scheduled install date. - Please don't hire these scammers. Or if you do, don't pay them a cent without a guaranteed install.

Colonial Fence is one of the best companies I have ever worked with. From my first phone call to…read morethe end of the project they were totally professional. They answered any questions we had and gave us great advice. The work crew was kind, respectful and hard working. They stayed for 12 hours to complete the project. The fence looks great! We had multiple companies give estimates and they beat them all by a lot of money. Their timeline was also about 2 weeks where other companies quoted 8 weeks. I highly recommend Colonial Fence for any fencing needs. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could.

This is the second time we have hired Clairvil X Construction to work on the property. I am…read morethoroughly impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and most of all the communication. Marc sets out realistic expectations from the onset with detailed timelines for each step of the project. In all construction matters, it seems inevitable that there are delays; from the permit to delivery of materials. Marc was surprisingly proactive in his communication with the two small instances they caused a slight delay in the completion timeline. the delays were outside of his control yet he made sure I was well informed each step of the way. I am beyond thrilled to have found such a reliable dependable, and very fairly priced professional contractor. He has a complete repertoire of subs at his disposal and calls them in when needed. I have the highest confidence in recommending Marc and Clairvil X Construction.

I explained that it was a fieldstone foundation and the guy I spoke with said "no problem." The gentleman showed up when he said he would, which was great that I didn't have to waster 2 hours in traffic for nothing. However, the oddness ensued quickly. Every time I showed him a part of the basement, he'd say "Great. I'll take a look and find you if I have any questions" but his "inspections" would only take 2 minutes. So, we'd walk to the next part of the basement, he'd say he'd let me know when he was done, then I'd wait a minute or two and then proceed to the next section. (I swear I'm not making this up.) It was really odd. After his inspection, I said "what do you think?" He said they don't really do much with fieldstone foundations (which would have been very beneficial to tell me over the phone) but that he was going to talk with his boss and that I shouldn't worry because they wouldn't "leave me high and dry" (no pun intended.) He then excused himself once again to call someone and then a few minutes later comes back to tell me there isn't really anything they can do and we should contact someone who specializes in fieldstone foundation repair and then leaves. I don't know how long I scratched my head after that encounter. Drycrete might be a magnificent company to do business with and their work might be first rate but, from my single encounter with them, I was not remotely impressed and it was a grand waste of my time.

Hired this company to restore both my garage and driveway, fix cracks on my chimney, and seal my…read morepatio. In short, the job started well but soon deteriorated into skimping on both material and labor. The end result was nothing (with the exception of the garage floor) was finished professionally. I was hopeful because they very promptly responded to my Yelp request and came out to assess the different repair items. Had asked for an estimate for driveway replacement, they responded that it was okay enough to seal it and that sealing would last at least 10 years before cracking - they would be able to combine this as well as all the other repair items (garage, chimney, patio) for $6500. I went with that offer knowing well that the amount typically balloons over the course of the job as contractors find issues that need immediate attention. Little did I know they would take advantage of "finding issues." On day one, during demolition, they told me the existing garage walls were plaster and that the bottom section, which was bowing, would need to be redone - they floated an additional $2800 for just that section. The next day, before anything was signed, they came back and said that fixing only the bottom section would leave the top part unsupported and it would eventually crack. They recommended replacing all the walls with drywall instead, along with resurfacing the concrete, replacing wooden beams if needed, and repainting. This became the second contract - $11,800, replacing the original $2800 proposal, with wording specifying drywall would be installed "where necessary." I paid this in full upon completion, before any of the issues below became apparent. At this price point, the baseline expectation was professional-grade work - not shortcuts, and not corners cut to save time. After they installed the drywall and painted, parts of the paint started cracking. They told me it was because those sections were actually still plaster, and they swore they "didn't know." To prove it, they knocked on the wall and showed me how you could hear the difference. This didn't add up. They had shown me the walls were all plaster on day one, during demolition. It doesn't make sense that only some sections would be plaster while the rest were properly replaced under the $11,800 contract. And if the plaster was that easy to identify by sound, they would have known well before they ever mudded and painted over it - not to mention that cutting into the wall would have exposed the mesh and plaster underneath. In short: they hadn't actually drywalled the full space as the $11,800 contract called for - and their proposed fix was to charge me another $6000 to do the work already covered by that contract. In hindsight, "where necessary" gave them room to decide unilaterally how much of the space actually needed it, without me being able to verify anything once it was painted over. As for the wooden beams included in that $11,800 scope: none were ever replaced, and I don't recall them purchasing any wood for that purpose. Obviously, I said no to paying another $6000 for work that I had already thought was done. Had them just fix the cracks (the paint and mud still cracked after) and just cut my losses. Other issues: - Driveway sealing: parts cracked within days; they resealed once, and cracks reappeared again weeks later - Driveway holes: poured crack filler instead of grinding and properly patching them - Mud/paint application: applied in a single thick layer instead of several thin coats, causing uneven drying and cracking (per an independent handyman's inspection) - Driveway sealing (technique): same issue - applied as one thick coat rather than the recommended thin, built-up layers - Garage wall painting: rushed and inconsistent - several areas have thin coverage or missing paint entirely - Flooring scope: "epoxy resin flooring" ended up being "paint with resin" instead - a downgrade from what was discussed, though the floor itself came out reasonably well - Chimney cracks: covered over rather than filled and repointed - Property respect: workers entered my house without asking to use my stepstool for painting. It was only later, when I came to check in, that they asked me for a ladder - which made their earlier decision to grab my stepstool without permission even stranger. Both stepstool and ladder were left covered in paint and concrete. They also broke both spigot sprinkler head attachments and left dried concrete on my brand new spigot itself. - Garage door: left with dried mud drips despite being asked directly to clean it up Looking back, the pattern is clear: thick single coats on walls and driveway, corners cut on the chimney, cleanup consistently skipped. Drywall alone for a garage this size should run under $1,000 - not $11,800. Their own quote to finish it was just $6,000. Total paid: $18,300. 2 stars, not 1. The only reason it's not lower is that the garage is technically better than before I started.
