"Absolutely incredible. Fast, efficient and very communicative. Highly recommend."

"Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we needed to cancel the installation. The customer service representative was very kind and accommodating, issuing a refund of our deposit (as stated in the initial agreement). This was processed within a few business days."

"<strong>Introduction-</strong> <br /> My wife and I had a need for a privacy fence installed around the backyard of our house (surrounding the back half of our lot).  We were looking for noise and visual isolation (privacy) for us and our two dogs. We wanted the fence to stand up to the elements, look good, and last a long time- all with as little upkeep as possible.  Oh, it also had to stay within our very tight budget.  A lot to ask for, for sure.  <br /> Note: I do a lot of research before beginning a project, especially one that costs as much as a fence does. Before getting to the point of asking for quotes, I had already determined that we were most likely to go with vinyl (unless the price was too high), the best vinyl products available in my area, as well as all the reputable fence installers near me.  Due to circumstances around our particular backyard (ledge, serious slope), I knew that we'd not be able to do the fence installation ourselves. <br /> <strong>Estimates/Quotes-</strong> <br /> For all the fence companies from whom I got estimates, I asked the necessary questions and tried to discuss fences in general with their on-site representatives.  I did this to gauge their overall knowledge about vinyl fencing.  Vinyl isn't as popular where I live. Partly because of that, it's amazing how different products are represented, as well as the differing techniques for vinyl post installation (concrete for 6 inches, concrete for 3 inches, no concrete, only use specific type of concrete, wood reinforcement in gate posts, etc). Essentially, what's best is really based on the needs of your specific situation (type of soil, size and weight of gate, etc etc). One-solution-fits-all doesn't work with fencing. <br /> I called to the better-known local fence installers in my town, and got three quotes. One local outfit sold the best product (the one I had identified), but gave a price for the product and installation I knew was way too high.  Another sold a different product, and in the end, was not very knowledgeable about vinyl fence products or installations in general. (They were the cheapest quote.) The third quote was from a big box store.  Their product was not as good, installation was the highest of the three, and I didn't feel too great about their installation approach. <br /> I realized I needed to cast a wider net.  Just because we have fence installers that are based out of my town, or the town next-over, doesn't mean I need to go with them... I got two more quotes, and one was from FenceTech. <br /> Mike from FenceTech came out promptly to do a walk-around for our quote.  He walked me and my wife through our options, and what his team would do. He had a friendly manner, and answered my questions with patience and professionalism. We both had a good feeling about him, but had decided he'd come in too high in price. The product he was offering was the middle-tier in the line of vinyl fencing I liked. It was utilitarian- quality, but not flashy.  Even so, we were surprised when the quote came in as low as it did.  I called him, discussed it, and made sure we were all on the same page. <br /> One thing I will note at this time, is that every single fence installer I called said my town did not require permits for fence installation.  They do.  Always ask your town's planning or code enforcement departments if you need a permit for work you'll be doing. <br /> <strong>Ordering & Installation-</strong> <br /> Because of the delay of the permitting process, and other factors, we had to wait about a month before moving forward with the quote.  During this time, I had multiple opportunities to speak with Mike and the other co-owner of FenceTech, Corey.  At all times, they were friendly and professional.  Finally, we were able to move forward.  I placed the order, and scheduled a time about 1.5 weeks later for them to begin installation. <br /> Everything went smoothly.  Mike's team was prepared to deal with the property-specific issues we had. They did quality work, did not leave a mess behind (a couple spots of vinyl shavings from where cuts in the fencing were made, but it was obvious there was even an attempt to clean the majority of that up). <br /> Mike called me a couple days after they were done to follow-up and make sure I didn't have any questions.  He told me that if a problem arose, to just call him, and he'd take care of it. When the invoice came, it matched the estimate from the initial consult. <br /> The fence looks great, and we feel secure in it being here, (and continuing to look great), for many years to come.  FenceTech does not seem to be out to make a quick buck. They seem to be a company that wants customers for life.  If this level of service keeps up, they've got it."

"Completely satisfied throughout the process of choosing a contractor and having them replace old shingles.  Brian returned my call promptly, met me when he said he would, started and finished the job on time, while keeping me updated daily on the progress, and did quality work. <br />"

"Office staff was courteous, and scheduled for next day. Workman was friendly. I thought it odd that he had to go back to his shop for something on such a simple job. I didn't get an estimate at the beginning--my bad--and the bill was exorbitant. When I called to ask for a breakdown between labor and parts, what I got instead was a different figure and an apology, saying she'd "entered the wrong job number," or something similar, suggesting that they just charge by the job category. I don't like this way of doing things. The fitting he put on my faucet is not anything like the standard fitting for an outdoor faucet, and it's mounted way off center. Sloppy job."

"One man came in advance to see the proposed site. They scheduled as son as possible.. about 2 weeks later. The crew of 3 did a great job. <br />"

"Although the project turned out to be more complicated and took longer than expected, this had little to do with <br /> the builder or his sub-contractors. Primarily the delays were due to weather, financing issues, and poor <br /> communications on the part of the town's code enforcement officer. <br /> Let me address this last issue first. Everything seemed to be alright until the pad was poured. The code <br /> enforcement officer was upset that she was not notified prior to the pouring of the cement so she could inspect <br /> the forms and re-bar. This and quot;misunderstandingand quot; occurred because the CEO never communicated to either myself or the <br /> contractor at what points during the project she wanted to perform inspections. However, from this point forward <br /> the CEO seemed to question every aspect of the project. Demonstrating considerable restraint and diplomacy, most <br /> of the time the contractor bowed to her demands (he was much , but drew the line at her trying to force him to <br /> install a water shutoff valve in a location that would likely have caused our well pump to burn out. In this <br /> case Greg Bragg stood his ground, backing it up with State of Maine statutes. <br /> With respect to the weather, June 2013 was one of the wettest on record for Maine. As far as financing, the <br /> magnitude and cost of the project exceeded what we had budgeted and we found out just how difficult it is to <br /> secure financing for rental property, especially if you are setting up a used mobile home. Consequently, we had <br /> to break the project into two phases. <br /> The demolition of the old house and initial site preparation went very smoothly as can be seen in this 8 minute <br /> YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWaJEgV2iJE). <br /> Getting the mobile home onto the pad was a bit more interesting since the ground was still very muddy from all <br /> the rain we received in June and July. Fortunately, Greg Bragg of Bragg Builders had the foresight to keep a <br /> bulldozer onsite. As can be seen in this 8 minute YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioZ1IFl-3CQ), <br /> the bulldozer was absolutely essential. <br /> The only other issue related to Bragg Builders portion of the project was a ruptured water line. Prior to <br /> constructing the gravel pad a brand new water line was installed and was even packed in sand to ensure rocks <br /> would not rupture the line. Unfortunately, a rupture occurred anyway. Fortunately, the contractor promptly <br /> installed a new water line, at no charge to us. <br />"

"Our bedroom closet was very hard to get into with the sliding doors. I thought that french door would work out for us. Also bathroom door had been dented and needed replacing .Contacted Blue Spruce Joinery about giving a estimate. Arived the same day, looked over project and gave estimate on the spot. He had several cataloges with different doors, so we could pick out he ones we liked. We agreed on the price and the doors were ordered. It took about 3 day to get the doors and as soon as they arrived Tom made a appointment to install them. It took two days to complete the installation. Tom arrived on time every day and after working all day left the jobsite as clean as when he arrived. I had no problems at all working with Blue Spruce Joinery. His work is impecable and everything is done the right way. I would not think twice about calling Blue Spruce Joinery I was very impressed with the work that was preformed."

"Excellent service, friendly workers, material quality looks good and the fence looks well put together: straight, even and sturdy. We were so pleased we asked them to come back and do an aluminum gate for our back porch soon after completing the fence; that job was done very nicely too. The dog now enjoys the back yard and the bears will hopefully be kept out. <br />"
