We hired Haley Brothers to install a fence in May, with a $1,000 deposit. The whole summer went by…read moreand we never heard form Haley. We tried calling but couldn't leave a message. We tried e-mails with no response. Eventually we hired another company in September and they installed the fence. The end of September we got a call From Haley saying they were ready for the job. We told them we tried to contact them to check the status of the job long before. They kept my $1,000 and blocked my phone whenever I called. They robbed me out of $1,000. They Clearly did not do the right thing. BFS

Haley Bros truly did nice work. The employees were professional, they were communicative and they…read morewere always on time. Their prices do reflect the quality of work, so don't expect them to be lowest cost, but in 5 to 10 years I believe you won't have to spent a ton more to fix problems caused by shoddy installation. My parents are dealing with a gate that won't close after 10 years which was caused by poor foundation issues, exacerbated by time. Everything is so solid. I interviewed 3 companies. Two of those showed up late, provided quotes either late or not at all, and one of those didn't quote what we discussed. Haley Bros showed up on time, listened, quoted what was discussed (which was special order) and turned around a quote quickly. I was very pleased and would recommend to anybody.

Shear came out for the estimate and s couple days later, 2 professionals came out and did the job. Kenny, the owner was wonderful to deal with. My husband Kevin talked so highly about him and we will not go anywhere else. They are conveniently located in Schenectady and they do lots of work we see around our area and upper union street. Thanks for a great experience Shear, we highly recommend you guys!

I found his name on Angie's List and included him in our quotes, because of the glowing reviews about him.

Highly recommended.

I have posted this same review on other sites after having Josh come do some work for us…read more My fiance and I just bought a home in Glenville in December and we had Josh come the week of June 8th to replace an old worn out wood fence and a chain link fence with a new wooden dog ear roughly 6ft fence. He was recommended to us by my fiances mother who had him do some work in her backyard, including her fence. He was very responsive over email, text, and phone calls and willing to work with us on timing. He quoted us just over half the price that Lowes did. He did great work, the fence looks solid, straight, and exactly as we wanted. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend him.

I had a surprise during the appraisal on a house I was buying on the other side of the country and needed someone to do the work fast. John was over there that day, sent photos and gave me a quote, asked all the right questions, and kept me well-informed of everything that was going on throughout the process. It was clear he took a lot of pride in his work and he made sure the work was going to meet my needs, knowing I was 2500 miles away and eager to close on the house. I absolutely recommend!

I could not agree more with Nick's review. Even 3 years later, not one thing has changed and I was…read morein complete denial until I experienced everything he described. I went through it during the construction process first hand and I'm still dealing with them almost a year after signing my contract. I wish I had never done this. I was constantly stressed out and this was and is still a completely awful experience. Whoever gave this company 5 stars was clearly paid to, probably so they wouldn't have a 1 star rating. I honestly don't know how Frank can legitimately run a business like this. Not one person working for him will care about you, your family, or your situation. All they want is your money and they will say anything to get it. A perfect description, as Nick said, is over promised expectations and undelivered results. That should be their slogan. If you do choose to go with them, be prepared to: 1. Overpay for your house by thousands of dollars for pretty shitty work and low quality materials. It's what Frank calls "affordable". Do your research and the math on the outrageous upgrade costs. You will realize you're getting screwed. 2. Have zero communication between the site coordinator, operations manager, construction manager, and the construction team... you might as well kiss your blueprints goodbye because what you sign won't be followed and the things listed as standard features in your contract won't be included. I know this sounds crazy and you're saying to yourself, "how can that be?", but it really is true. 3. Have plenty of incompetent subcontractors working on your house. 75% of the guys are still learning how to do their jobs or are in training and the construction manager is never there to supervise anyone. This is because Frank is so cheap he's not willing to pay for people who actually know what they are doing. I am afraid for what is behind the walls, seriously. The day we closed on our house, we had no hot water and our dishwasher wouldn't turn on. How bad could it be, right? After being present for the necessary repairs, we found out that our hot and cold water lines were connected together and the water line to our refrigerator had never been done at all. The main electrical wiring to our dishwasher had been nearly cut in half and could have started a fire if the dishwasher was able to turn on. I thought you're supposed to have peace of mind building a new house... not so much. One more example, our neighbor's house was built 6 months before ours. Their sump pump failed a weekend when they were out of town. They came home to 2 feet of water in their basement, everything was ruined, including the furnace, and they did not have flood insurance. They had quite a battle getting that taken care of with BH. 4. Deal with their greedy real estate agent/site coordinator, Maryellen Blair. She is a complete bitch and has a serious conflict of interest with this type of home purchase. Unfortunately, she is the only tether you have to your house after you've signed the contract so get ready to deal with her for 4+ months. Be sure to have your own real estate agent with you for every single meeting. I would highly suggest one with new construction experience who will abdicate for you because Maryellen is a snake in this industry. I could not stand this woman, by the last walk through I wouldn't even speak to her, let alone shake her hand. 5. Be lied to...constantly. We were rushed into making decisions and signing off on things that were not correct. If we didn't, then we were told that we are holding up the building process. This is a complete lie because they already have their own agenda (and blueprints apparently) and the time frame in which you make your decisions has little effect on that when they are just starting to build the house. What they don't want you to know is they are rushing you so you don't look at the details. They are vague for a reason, which allows them to get away with shit behind your back and still make you pay for it at the end of the day. Clearly, I am very unhappy and I do not recommend BH to anyone. Everything I've had to go through has been a fight because nothing is ever done right the first time and no one cares about my house. I paid more than market value for it, so I've literally thrown my money out the window and I won't be going get it back anytime soon. No amount of remedies has made up for what this builder has and continues to put me through. I don't care about his reputation in the Capital Region because it is a bunch of bullshit. It is unfortunate that more people don't voice their experiences to warn others from going through this fate. He should not be allowed to lie to people and use and abuse them like they are garbage, it is absolutely disgraceful. Save yourself the aggravation and build with or buy from someone else...
