I find it a great value knowing that prices were in flux for birth steel and wood at the time. It's important to note that wood like cedar will dry and shrink and even warp a bit; that's what a lot of people like about natural cedar. He recommended a great guy to come and stain for us as well. The customer service has been amazing too! See, cedar gates will change shape over time and so the latch may need adjusting. They came out this year (a year after install) and adjusted for me. I highly recommend Family Fences and Tomas!

I give Family Fence 5 Stars!!! What a great company! I had…read moremy back gate replaced, and I am thrilled. They removed my old gate and installed the new one. When they were finished, I asked if they could make some adjustments so the gate would look aesthetically correct. They had no problem working with my request and finished the gate. I am so thrilled! This company cares about the customers and their feelings when the project is done. They will go out of their way to make the project right and make the customer happy!

Both were very minor and given the service received by these guys I am still very happy with my decision to go with them. Updated pic included.

They installed a lovely fence, but unfortunately they do not stand by their products. Less than 3…read moreyears old, my gate is falling down and they want to charge me over 700 dollars to repair it. They won't even come out and do an assessment before quoting an exorbitant price. Blamed it on weather despite not even looking at the damage. I don't recommend.

I had the same experience as several others. Lars came out to give me an estimate to repair an…read moreAlpine Fence. He agreed to send me an estimate. The first two times I called, he answered and claimed he had already sent it. I couldn't find it, so confirmed my contact info and asked that he resend. He never did and I've called at least 5 more times over a period of weeks and he never returns my call and doesn't answer any more. I'll add that other fencing companies have declined to repair the fence because of the way it is constructed which they said break too easily. I'm going to end up needing to replace my entire fence because he can't be bothered to work with me to fix a fence that they themselves built. They obviously don't stand behind their work. I'm perfectly happy to pay for the repair but they are not interested in even quoting it. I would absolutely not recommend them.

I had a very good recent experience with Joseph Birkenheier Tuckpointing & Masonry. They came as a…read morerecommendation through a trusted source that had not personally used them but had a client give that name. A couple things stood out immediately. They were very prompt in replying back to my web inquiry and scheduled a time for Joe to come out. Joe was really thorough in estimating what should be done and was nice to have. We ended up going with the full proposal since we realized that this was work that would last 15 years or so. (Tuckpointing our fronts and sides, and also repair of our front steps, recaulking). Diane from the office was very good at communicating from the outset , from what needed to get completed when , securing permits scheduling a final walk through,. The onsite crew was very diligent in getting the work done but also communicating to our neighbors and blowing off any residual dust). They also did a great job in cleanup , rinsing off anything after the work had cured/completed. Tuckpointing is certainly not a cheap project, but we have good foundational things on the outside now that will last through the rigors of a Chicago season. While their work is great, I thought the communication was above at the top of my experience with many contractors/vendors. I look forward to reaching back out to them in 2040 (if they're still doing this work then. :)

Morres and his brother John are difficult to work with. Hired to replace a sidewalk and pour a new…read moreparking pad. Work was barely acceptable. They do not know how to line up a sidewalk with the lot line. I kept mentioning the need to allow space for new fence posts. I was told by the owner of MJ Cement that their company isn't concerned about fence posts, they only pour concrete. The parking pad was initially laid out in a rhombus-type shape. After an extensive argument over who was to blame, the Morres grudgingly agreed to square the layout. Construction debris left behind. Crushed gravel for drainage was never delivered. This project was a complete hassle from start to finish. I would never use again, and recommend everyone else to look elsewhere.

I learned that they are damaging my grass when they cut it because they are using dull blades on their mowers. Then I waited at least a month to get a quote for some additional work I wanted done and got nothing. No quote, no response. Nothing. I have moved on to another company that is doing excellent work and are very communicative. It is a shame that this company has gone so far downhill from what they were when I started using them. I would not currently recommend using them.

Now that I got how awesome these people are, I just have to say that we had a Goaliath Ignite basketball hoop for 4 years and we played on it every week. From the start it had a lot of shake to it that would luckily go away after the rim 'settled in'. However, because my son and I play on it weekly with plenty of hour long sessions, the wear and tear started to become very visible. From rust spots, to the net itself not 'wanting to give our ball back' every time it went into the hoop. We also noticed a forward lean on the rim and as my son got older... So did his friends! So safety started to become a concern of mine now that he was having hoop sessions with friends and I didn't want anything to happen to anybody on our watch. So naturally, we were looking to upgrade which led us to the awesome people at FENCEWORKS. They went over step by step how the process was going to go and it was as easy as pick a rim, and they handled the rest. When it came to buying from Dick's Sporting goods... That was not the case. I had to open a Julie ticket on my own, find an installer while having big heavy boxes sitting around waiting for all of that to be taken care of. Fence Works does all of that for you and they even removed my old rim........ ALL ON THE SAME DAY! Can't recommend them enough not just for basketball hoops but if you're looking to buy a play set for your young family or even setting up an awesome fence around your property... Their white glove professional approach to every conversation and moments to educate you is sure to make you feel confident in making these investments into your home or property. Can't recommend them enough! You can clearly see why they've been in business for 59+ years. Awesome people, awesome products and awesome service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
