Get matched with top gate for driveway or security installers and replacers in Leonard, MI

"About 100 l.f. of cedar picket fence was removed and replaced. The work was quoted promptly with an estimated start date. All questions were answered promptly. We were emailed and called prior to the work starting. The crew was professional and neat. The work took two days; one to remove the old fence and install new posts and one to install the fence. The crew was easy to work with and offered suggestions for solving little issues. They even put up a temporary fence for the dog. The old fence was hauled away. The area was cleaned when work was complete. We are very happy with the new fence. This was the most pleasant experience we’ve ever had with a contractor. I highly recommend Defence Enterprises."

They replaced the valley by interlocking new shingles. They replaced the boot around the chimney and added new shingles around the chimney.They also replaced needed plywood that had rotted out from the water leak. I watched from time to time.  It was a lot of work to be done.  A lot harder than just laying down a new roof. Alot of companies just want to sell you a new roof and not be bothered with doing repairs.

There were three workers. It took two days.They worked in the rain part of one day.Any debris was cleaned up and hauled away. Mr. Collins came to the site several times to check on the work being done.

Initially,I left a voice mail message requesting an estimate.He called back in a couple of days.We set a time for the inspection and he was on time calling ahead to let me know that he was on his way.He inspected the roof and we came to a mutual decision on the work to be done. The price seemed fair and he knew exactly what needed to be done. I had a long list of questions to ask him. He took his time in answering the questions and explained things to me until I fully understood. I felt good about our meeting and did not feel it necessary to get another estimate.The result of all of this was NO Roof Leak

"Demo and removed old gates and installed new in one day. Will be using them again."

"A-1 Roofing & Siding did a fine job on my roof. There was concern that the plywood base was spongy but it turned out that it only needed a new sheet or two. While up there, they noticed that the chimney needed some minor repair that they were able to take care of. There was a crew below to clean up as the roofers dropped the old shingles, etc. A new ice/water barrier was installed and new flashing around the chimney. 50 year shingle warranty and 10 year labor warranty was included. There was concern that the dumpster would damage my new concrete driveway (3 mos. old), but there was no damage from that. All in all, the job only took about 2 days to finish. I would definitely hire them again for this kind of job."

"This is our 8th house obviously we have dealt with numerous professional servicemen over the years. For estimates on these current jobs I had to go to electrician, plumber, painter, drywall men and a general contractor, Not discussing the estimates we were give (outrageous) but each call was a minimum of $125 just to open the front door from each. The standard line was. "Well you have to understand this is the busy time". BS! After looking on Angies list we tried AL Hoppe, Handyman. The ad should read "Handyman Extraordinaire!" After one call Al came to the house. NO COST for the estimate. He was able to make all repairs, some very involved. And stayed within the original estimate. We were very impressed with his knowledge and understandable explanations. He worked for several days and we hardly knew he was here. I from upper New England and am always skeptical. No need with Al. He was truly amazing. There are a few more minor things for Al in this house before we move shortly to a smaller old house. I have already discussed several more projects there and a complete redo of a deck. We cannot recommend Al high enough. Several of my neighbors have contacted him as well for various projects. Up to and including a new deck, and a serious drainage problem. All Hoppe is the BEST!! Take it from a crotchety old timer. Wish I knew about him years ago!!"

"Rick was very professional and timely. He came out on the morning he said he would and replaced and repaired the posts as discussed during his initial estimate visit. He was in contact with us through the entire process. I would certainly recommend him to all of my family and friends. Great guy to work with!"

"Vast majority of the work performed is satisfactory, and the attitude of the crew (2 men) was pleasant enough during work.
But there are three (3) areas that has negative impact on our overall experience:
1. Underestimated cost by $950; the final cost would have impacted our decision on whom to hire.
2. The repaired window frame is not acceptable to us: it is too wide, covers substantial amount of glass, and from inside, unfinished  wood, paint and glue stains are clearly visible. When shown that, initially offered $200 refund, then immediately reneged on it. Told us the window is right over the roof, anyway; I guess implying the job does not have to be done right, in fact making me feel that I am unreasonable in my request. The window remains an eye sore, but we'd rather find somebody else to redo it right.
3. Although not our major complaint, left pieces of rotten wood, old cauking and quite few nails under the work areas and on the roof. On the positive side, I can (and did) use those nails on my DIY projects.
We had hoped to have them do 2 or 3 major work inside and outside the house, but now we are looking somewhere else. Member response: Please note that the provider did not question, correct, explain or comment on the negative points in my review, but instead engaged in "typical" character assassination. I am not going to comment on “difficult customer”; it is his word against mine, although I thought at that time we had quite friendly relationship. However, concerning “hard to set up times “to do the work: ALL the work was OUTSIDE: I did not HAVE TO be home for the provider to do his job. In addition, my wife is a homemaker, ALWAYS home during the day. I am still finding shortcomings in his work: couple weeks ago the downspout next to both 1-st and 2-nd story window came loose, and, equally no more surprising, it exposed a wide and long gap in need of caulking that the provider failed to do. With all the experience since my last review, I am considering changing my rating of Home Aide to D."

"I had a mechanized cedar gate installed, it was customized for the space. I love it!"

"The job went well overall, the brick was matched perfectly, they were clean and polite. Would recommend.
