B & A Fencing

I had originally worked out a deal with Lowes to install a 4ft Spaced Picket fence for my backyard in Southern Pines, NC. However, they decided my business wasn’t important enough. I found Ben looking through the yellow pages. His company was the only one who listed a website (it’s 2015, companies big and small need websites). I called and left a message and he texted me a couple hours later (I was a bit apprehensive about getting a text message rather than a phone call, but it’s 2015 and I guess this is an acceptable way of doing business).
Ben came out on a Sunday afternoon and took some measurements and quoted me right around the same price as Lowes. Ben was courteous and very knowledgable. You could tell by the tone of his voice that his fences are all about top notch quality. Even more impressive is that he could finish the fence that week. He promised to get the permits and call 811 for utilities to come out and mark the lawn. We sat down that Sunday wrote out the contract and wrote him a check for half upfront for materials (Ben doesn’t use square for credit cards, and I don’t blame him. I wouldn’t want to have to pay that fee to Square). The next day Ben and a Lowes truck arrived in the pouring rain to drop off the lumber and concrete.
The fence installation was hassle free and painless. One day he told me that while he was taking a shower he realized that he placed the gate posts too low and that he would have to dig them out and reset them to standard (This guy is so dedicated to his craftsmanship that he was thinking of my fence while taking a shower). My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with the finished product (especially my wife).
If you’re getting a fence built in the Sandhills area call or text Ben and give him a shot. He is by definition a true American Small Business professional who is a talented craftsman. Be advised that if you go with someone else, you might get a cheaper fence but one that will not last long. Mine will last at least 30 years. Thanks Ben!
