I hired this firm to do a simple fencing job that has been done three times by others in the past…read more The owner did not listen to most of my instructions, installed incorrectly sized gates, did not use the material he was supposed to use to install a corner fence, and shorted me on the footage of split rail fence he installed. After he told me to stop sending him delusional e-mails when I told him the incorrectly sized gate wouldn't allow a commercial mower in, I contacted Yelp feedback. Soon after he said he would return and make repairs per contract. What he did was install agate from pressure treated pine rather than the cedar I paid for and used materials from another job on the frame he created because he didn't have a long enough support piece. The warranty gate was so poorly installed I can't even get it to open and close. He refused to replace a post that is badly split all the way down because "that's what posts are supposed to do." Many of the rails used have unsightly bark on them. He said he would take another look at it the replacement gate after being told I was filing a BBB complaint, but I responded that I would need him to honor his written warranty on the items that need to be corrected or not to bother wasting his time or mine. He did not respond to the BBB complaint that included photos and I was notified by Better Business Bureau that although his company is not a member, they have given him a D- rating based on the information and photos I supplied. To add insult to injury the owner told me he would have to trim a few branches out of his way before he began installation. His crew piled them up behind the fence line and it took me 4 hours to haul them to the curb. When returning supposedly to make warranty repairs, he began shouting at me. I have reported his conduct to Yelp, but based on my experience with this company I would not do business with them again.

I'm almost 80 and planning to continue aging in place in my own home. My plan was to join two bedrooms and have an arch doorway between the bedrooms. They made that happen and also built a wall within the second bedroom to create a bathroom with a walk-in shower with safety concerns in mind. They did all the plumbing, electrical and tile work in the bath that I had planned using ADA recommendations. They also raised the floor in the laundry room to make it level with the kitchen floor, thus removing accidents waiting to happen. My experience with the Improvement Company was pleasant, and the project outcome exceeded my expectations. The two highly skilled pros who worked in my home each day clearly knew what they were doing. Blayne and Yerber were considerate of my needs, respectful of my space, and cleaned up before leaving each day. Their can-do attitudes were consistently positive and their cheerfulness was contagious. Happy with the work and eager to move into my new space, I was sorry to say goodbye to those guys. Would I hire them again? In a heartbeat. Thanks, Improvement Company. L. Shirley Columbia, SC

Wood Fencing/ gate work review:…read more These guys are amazing, would definitely recommend their service and looking forward to future projects. They are efficient, courteous and professional. I had an idea of what I wanted but wasn't really sure how to do it. Jay came out to do my estimate and was super kind and helpful, suggesting ideas and approaches that made sense. He worked with my budget and was able to fit me in to their already tight schedule. When jay and Jake came to do the job, they arrived on time and went straight to work. My brother who is a stickler for woodwork came out and observed them, he said they knew what they were doing and he was super impressed at how quickly and properly they did the woodwork. These guys showed up when they said they would, for the job done within the timeline they promised, and produced good quality work. I am super pleased and excited. Keep up the good work!!!

Oh, and don't tell them where you live now--they will just tell you it's 'in a different world.' I guess the fence people around here are too good for us common folk.

I contracted with this company to build a 3 season room on my existing deck and then add a new deck.

For the next 7 months after he received the payment for the materials he continued to have excuse after excuse why the project hasn't been started/finished. At that point I canceled the project completely and requested a full refund. He claimed not to have any of the money I gave him and that he would need to pay me back over the next 7 months. He made 1 payment and then reneged on the 2nd. He then decided to take this to a judge in Kane County since that's the county I dwell in, because now he can't pay me the amount he originally agreed upon. Court date is coming up next month.
