Horrible workmanship and shady work ethics!
Let's start this by saying that the job is done but I am in no way satisfied! I've accepted what they've worked on but overall the fence job was poorly done! There are still issues with the way it was put together but again, I'm accepting it at this point because I'm sick of dealing with the issues and lousy workmanship of this company!
Eli and Sam were nice guys but truthfully, they hire horrible workers to do their jobs. The amount of five stars ratings that I see across all the different online review locations, (Google, Yelp, Thumbtack, etc.), is a little amazing to me considering how half-assed this work was done!
The main issue with the fence along my driveway was in the last 24 years since my original fence was put in there have been several trees that have grown towards the fence. We planted them as young saplings and now they're quite big and have actually grown into the fence line. When I met with Eli and showed him the issues with the old fence and the tree line he said it would be no problem and they would move the fence out a bit towards the driveway. They did in some areas. They moved it out about 4 or 5" and were able to avoid several of the trees and their roots, that had grown up, but further down that same line they moved the fence line back to its original path. So now, the fence was up against a tree and they actually nailed part of my fence into the tree because they didn't have the foresight to move the fence back away from the stump of the tree that was growing!!
This is just one of the many issues that I had with their performance and job. The owner Sam came out, and we talked a bit about the issues. He told me he had problems with this worker or that worker or this team or that team and truthfully I understand he has issues but I don't really care! When I'm paying to get a job done I want it done and I really don't care about your staffing issues! I personally think they got a little too greedy, tried to take too many jobs and rushed this one to get it done quickly. The job was supposed to start on a Monday, but they didn't show up till Tuesday and until about 2:00 in the afternoon there were only two guys. Then from 2:00 in the afternoon till 8:30 at night, when it was getting dark, there was a crew here. But they were doing the work in the on & off rain and they were speeding up the work which is why I think it was done so poorly.
I was never kept in the loop as far as when the workers were going to show up and when they didn't show up I always had to call to find out why they weren't here. That happened three different times when they were supposed to be here for various things. After they finally got the work "finished", they said they would be back the next day to clean up the debris. The debris sat on the right side of my driveway for almost a week and it took me calling the owner and raising hell for him to get a crew here to clean it up! They then came back and cleaned up their wood but took none of the trees, branches or bushes they broke when they built the fence.
As you can see from the pictures there was a lot of really poorly done work that has since been "fixed", but their "fix" is not the best and truthfully, again, I'm not very satisfied! I should have had them tear down the whole side of the fence along my driveway and redo it, but I was in a good mood & let it go.
Lastly, while going over the different reviews for Mustang Fencing and Gates, I noticed on Thumbtack that there was a review from a guy that said he was paid by one of the owners to write five star reviews for the company. I don't know if that's true but it's very disconcerting to think that all of these five star ratings are actually really B.S.
I hope not, but seeing the work that they did for me I sure as heck am wondering why I got such lousy work done when all these other people supposedly got such amazing jobs from this company!
I truly regret not going with a more reputable company, but after reviewing this company's work online it really looked like they had a good reputation. Obviously, from the work that I got that reputation is not justified!!
From my experience I would not recommend this company!
