Central Valley Fencing

other than the other guys horror story i just read, i could not get them to give me a quote for a fence. i needed a 30′ run installed and they wont do a phone estimate nor will they send anyone out for less than 75′ of fencing. really? i got quotes from $ 700 to $ 1200 for this job over the phone… thats not just a puddle of money.
so…if you need a small amount of fencing, save yourself the trouble of calling these folks… if you need a whole lot of fence, i would read the other guys review… then call anywhere else for a price.

we used this company to put up a simple chain link fence. everything went smoothly until the end. when i went out to the site to take a look at the finished product with them, i noticed that at one end of the lot, they had bolted the large, end support pole into the neighbor’s concrete side yard walkway, instead of digging a hole and pouring a small concrete foundation on our property. i told them that thats not acceptable and it needs to be moved onto our property. they claimed that i had given them express permission to bolt it onto the neighbors property. this made no sense whatsoever and was a bold faced lie. why would i give them permission to create a problem for myself that i would have to pay money to fix later? also, there was no ambiguity about whose property was whose.
at that point, it got really nasty and childish. i told them i couldnt pay them until that was fixed, or i would have to pay them less the amount it would take me to get it fixed by somebody else. in response, they told me that they would rather uninstall the entire fence than to fix that one pole. i ended up paying them because i had already gotten a lot of complaints from neighbors about the dust and noise from the installation, so i didnt want to go through that 2 more times.
long story short, they thought they could save money on concrete and labor by taking an unethical shortcut. they thought i wouldnt notice it. when i called them out, they bluffed their way out of the problem, knowing that i wouldnt want to deal with the neighbors.
