"<p>This is an old (1864) house that is full of surprises, but the DeWalt team seemed very comfortable and fluent in dealing with all aspects of an old house. </p> <p>The work was actually done as 2 separate jobs - the porch being first.  The initial quote was to install 2 new adjustable columns under the porch. After completion, the owner inspected the work and decided to add a 3rd column at no additional charge.   For the interior plumbing, they arrived on time, with different team members assigned to the work for which they were most expert.  Lonni DeWalt, the owner, came around to help assess what was needed, and to inspect the work in progress. Once they determined the need to open walls and replace the last of the old cast iron drain pipes, they provided a separate quote, and recommended we contact our insurance to help cover the cost, which we did.  In the end, they actually came in slightly under their initial quote. </p> <p>Lonni also followed up after completion of each job to be sure I was 100% satisfied.  When I questioned the refinishing of one of the walls, he immediately sent his best sheetrock guy over to inspect and correct the work.  </p> <p>All of the workers were very professional and personable.  I felt confident in their abilities, and their sincere desire to get it right, even if it took more than they originally planned.    </p> <p>I will no doubt use them again.</p> <br />"

"The system has worked perfectly.  However, two days ago, the pump failed.  Because of the extreme cold weather, the pipe froze and the pump burned up trying to pump.   <br /> I called last night and Mike arrived about noon today. He replaced the pump and associated piping  and helped me unfreeze the pipes.  Bob called and told me they would cover the repair this time and told me how to prevent a freeze-up again.   <br /> I should have realized the potential, but the pipes have never frozen before in 30 years in this house.  Thanks to Affordable I did not have to spend the money for pump and labor.  Furthermore, I plan to install a heating coil to prevent it happening again.   <br /> They really did not have to help me out like that, but they did.  A good company to do business with. <br /> <br />"

"He did a great job and the steps are beautiful! He painted the steps to match the house and made them to be very sturdy. He repaired it instead of replacing it but it looks like new. We are very pleased and would use him again."

"UPDATE TO THIS REVIEW, APRIL 2014: <br /> Al DeRenzo, Sr., the owner of this company, died in January 2014.   To my knowledge, Al Jr. is now running the company, but I am not certain about that.   <br /> <br /> Also, an update on my fence:  It survived our long winter, but I found that the magnetic latches on all three of my gates frequently froze up when it was cold out, rendering them inoperable.  You need to keep the latch lined up with the magnetic post, and it's difficult to do that as the fence "moves around" in cold weather.  I made several adjustments over the winter, but wasn't always able to get them lined up due to the limited adjustment range.  Needless to say, I have been disappointed in the performance of the gates in the cold months.  Not necessarily DeRenzo's fault, but it seems like the latches could be made easier to adjust and more "winter-proof".  Now that it is warm again, the fence has returned to its original position and the latches are working fine again, so I don't think anything moved permanently.  <br /> <br /> <br /> ORIGINAL REVIEW: <br /> Bottom line: My fence looks great, but it took much longer than expected.  See the details below! <br /> I initially got my fence quote from Al DeRenzo, the company's owner.   I immediately felt comfortable with him and I was confident he would do a good job.  He said he would work on only my job until it was completed, and that he would personally oversee the installation.  I received the quote via e-mail within a few days, once the fencing suppliers got back to him with pricing.  Al also quoted a less expensive chain-link fence so I could compare, since the aluminum fencing is a fairly expensive type.  I felt his price was fair, since I had compared pricing for similar fences at a couple of big-box stores and I knew the installation would cost quite a bit.   <br /> After I paid a 50% deposit, Al ordered the fence.  It was supposed to take 2-3 weeks to ship, but it didn't arrive until the end of the 4th week.  I was out of town and had met with him again at my property before leaving.   At that time we made a small change to the layout which he did not think would impact the quote.  He planned to complete the job while I was away, expecting that he would receive the materials in time.  As it turned out, he contacted me on Thursday of the week I was out of town to tell me that he had just received the fencing and that he did not receive everything he needed.  I will skip the details, but the bottom line was that he failed to order (or even quote) some of the materials required, so he was only able to do some initial prep work.   <br /> It was about two weeks later before the rest of the materials arrived and they could start the installation.  Most of the work was completed in about a week, but in the end, there was another piece missing that had to be ordered separately (this time, it was due to the previously mentioned design change I had requested).  It took several more days for this item to show up, and finally the job was completed 8 weeks after the initial order was placed.   <br /> All in all, the installers did a very good job.  The two times I came home to see the work in progress, it was not Al but his son in charge of the crew.  This wasn't a problem, but also not what I was led to believe.  I never did see Al Sr. at my house, during the installation, although I believe he did come on some of the days - I just missed him.  Al Jr. seemed to be very experienced, and the final product is very professional - the fence is perfectly level and straight, and all four gates work very well.  They also fixed a couple of small issues at my request, neither of which was their fault.  <br /> I have a few quibbles about this supplier: <br /> - Inaccuracies in what was quoted and ordered caused several weeks of delay.  Al blamed some of the delay on himself and some of it on the shippers.  During the delay, the supplier's trailer was parked in my street and his equipment was in my back yard. <br /> - It was sometimes difficult to reach Al directly.  He responded to e-mail, but on occasion he said he sent me updates that I never received, and on other occasions he said he didn't receive e-mails I sent.  When I called his office, I typically spoke with his wife. <br /> - The actual installation took longer than I think it should have, partly because the crew worked fairly short hours (9 AM to 4 PM, and they left even earlier on Friday), and partly because they sometimes had only two or three people on site. <br /> On the other hand, I am very happy with the final product, and I give this supplier credit for many things: <br /> - Professional installation <br /> - Honesty about the source of the delay <br /> - Detailed updates during the work and delays <br /> - Supplier did not charge me for the parts that he failed to order (which I estimate would have been 10-20% of the total fencing cost!) <br /> - Supplier arranged to have all utilities marked and would have handled permitting, if required <br /> - Supplier used small equipment and hand-trucked the concrete into the backyard, thus minimizing lawn damage <br /> - Supplier continued to keep me updated until the job was complete and all small details were addressed <br /> All in all, I would recommend DeRenzo Fence for an aluminum fence job, provided you are not in a rush."

I do most or all of the work myself or with one of my two employees. References available upon request. Payment is expect immediately upon completion and post inspection.
