Horrible work, they subcontracted the work to A & S fencing. Stay away from these fencers. Palings nailed far apart as possible leaving visible gaps. No concrete was poured in post holes. New fences didn't align with existing fences. Worst of all was they installed new fence 20 centimeters over the neighbors boundary lines.

Approximate cost: $1500

In March 2014 I ordered a fence and 2 gates (one on the left side of the house, one on the right). They sent me 2 quotes (one for the fence, one for the gates) and asked that I pay a deposit (half of my total share) right away. I did as such, and they contacted my neighbour for his share. My neighbour was about to start building and it came to light that part of his house would be build directly on the boundary, hence we couldn't build the fence (or the left gate) until his house was done, and also meaning we would need less fence, therefore costing less. I did not receive any amended quote or invoice. I asked them to install the right hand side gate and they charged me $80 for the fact it wouldn't be done at the same time as the other jobs. I reluctantly agreed (we needed a gate as without it there was free access to the back of our house) and it then took them 2 whole months before anyone actually came and installed the gate. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago and my neighbour is ready for our fence to be installed. They came and did the job, although terribly. The bottom of the fence is so far from the ground that our dog could easily fit underneath. It also means that the top of the fence does not join up with the back fence - it sits about 30 cm higher and looks stupid. Not only that, but they installed the second gate on the right hand side of the house, instead of the left. I am still waiting for them to come and fix this.
Overall, I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Approximate cost: $2000

So bad, its the type of place you would only recommend to an enemy if revenge is on your agenda because they will run havoc in your own back-yard!!

Very pleased to see a review from a member with a reliable TrustFactor. Thank you! This business appears to be a failure on all counts. Thanks for the heads-up. Now, let me count thine enemies...

They are pretty pathetic, built a fence without replacing markers on the land, when confronted them they said its not their responsibility.
They resfuse to pay for the land resurveying and i do not recommend this company to anyone, spoke to someone from the building industrie and was told to make a formal complaint against them, which is in the process.

Approximate cost: $0

My neighbour send me this guy's quote and when I compare it against others, it was expensive. I had a good look at the other sides of my neighbour's fences and it's not pretty, lots of gaps. I went ahead with Eddy's Fencing, Cairnlea.

Approximate cost: $1800
