He was recommended by Maner Co to install 330 linear ft of aluminum fencing. He claimed to know my neighbor, they attended church together. My neighbor said he came, gave them an estimate for a fence, they didn't know him, nor did they hire him. We hired, not knowing this. We gave the owner of Just Fencen' 65% upfront. They installed 200 ft w/ two gates. Terrible work. The screws just filled the hole on the posts, missing the panels metal completely. Some panels just left hanging at the bottom bracket because of the degree at the corners.The gate wasn't hanging level. Posts were off by 1"". They should've installed a wall post that attaches to the house w/brackets instead they dug up our drain tile now it doesn't pass water through it. Other panels barely hanging on by a thread of metal to the posts. After they completed the 200 ft we pointed out the shoddy work. The owner yelled he was a God fearing Christian, wouldn't fix it. After arguing with him for a 1/2hour on our property, he agreed to repair but would not guarantee his work. He said ""Once I am done I don't want to hear anything more about this fence."" We just wanted the work repaired w/warranty. Needless to say, we fired him.\r

Why he wanted 65% upfront? He knew what he was doing, got all of his money w/ a nice profit in his deposit, he could careless if we fired him. We priced the materials he purchased from Maner at his cost . One gate was $178.00 he charged us $450 plus an addit'l 4 ft @ $25.00 ft, total $550.00 at 65% deposit. Profit before job completion $189.50 after $382. We're not complaining about his profit or the estimate. We agreed regardless of the cost. We are showing his dishonesty, lack of integrity as a fence contractor and his workmanship is shoddy at best. Already one gate he installed is falling apart. The 3 screws broke off the bottom hinge, just hangs by the top hinge. Now we have to repaired a $550.00 gate. The gate was used twiced and had been installed only 6 weeks ago.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Charlie Pramley aka JR owner
