Do not hire this contractor. I now have to take him to court as he took my $4500 deposit and then, has been ducking me ever since. No contact after numerous email promises to do so. This contractor also hides behind his faith, saying "God Bless You", but never showing any of the traits that our lord and savior would want to see in his subjects.

Prompt response to call initially. Called me with the estimate, and progress of the job once it was started. Came back to redo some of the painting due to the rain. Excellent job done.

FENCE FALLING APART 2 WEEKS LATER. Month over deadline to get fence up. Damaged neighbors yard with trailer to the point the police were called out. Ran out of the wood we paid for and stuck some other type of wood up, stated he was going to come back and put the correct wood up and never did. Could not get them to return a phone call or email, DO NOT GIVE MONEY UP FRONT OR IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO GET YOUR FENCE UP OR MORE MONEY PARTIALLY FINISHED. They lie about giving a discount. Will not honor warranty.

We hired them, after they kept on reassuring us that we have nothing to worried about. But let me tell you they were not really quick with the work. We've just moved into a new subdivision so we don't know about the rules or anything and they told us over and over that they will do and we have nothing to worried about.. but now the job is NOT even done and yet they have our money and will not refund us.. and we cant even get a hold of them on phone or emails since the problem started. In my case I would NOT recommend them to anyone because I'm afraid it will happen to my family and friend too..

Response from BackYard Carpentries
"If our future customers will review comments below from our happy customers, in the past this comment is clearly our competition trying to ruin our good name. If there is a problem with our work we ask that our customers let us know so we can fix the problem."

Had this company do a rather routine repair that I just wasn't up to. He was prompt, and dedicated himself to a quality job. I would recommend him

The work was done well, however repeted attempts to get Mr. Shannon back out to our site to correct warped and split wood have not resulted in any corrections. Although Mr. Shannon is pleasant on the phone, and promises to come and correct the problems, after 3 weeks we have not seen anyone. Several emails to his email address come back undelivered. They were fast, especially to the bank with the check, but I do not feel they stand behind their work. I would not recommend them to others.
Response from BackYard Carpentries
"Ms. M, You need to read your contract under Terms and Conditions it does state: "Pit Bull does not warranty any materials".See the manufacturer. Which would be Lowes, which carries Georgia Pacific Treated Lumber.Even though it is not my responsibility,if you had given me time in between my other priorities I would have happily replaced the few boards that warped. I suggested to you to stain your wood to further protect it from Winter weather. Lowes does warranty their wood. Call North Parkway Lowes and I will be happy to work with them to get your fence fixed. Sorry for any inconvinience. Have a Blessed day! Michael w/ PitBull Fence"
