Garys Post Holes & Fences

This was the worst decision we made hiring this guy! For starters the posts don't even sit straight and they are all over the place, second the spacing between the posts isn't even! We are talking from 3 inch gaps to 9 inch gaps of difference in spacing! Then when we pay you cash (before double checking your work, which should not be necessary) that you give no receipt for and then call you later you don't answer your phone! When you finally answered (after calling from different number) and you pick up you say that you aren't giving us the money back and that you would destroy us in small claims court! This is not a good company and this is not over with. We will go after the money for this hack job!

I must say I wish I had looked this guy up! I got his number from a friend usually word of mouth is the best way. He came last October/November after the big wind storm. Gave us a quote, which we agreed on and he said he would be unable to get to it before the snow comes. We were ok with that. We have tried on many occasions in the Spring to give us an idea when he would be coming… no response. Finally we got a hold of him and now he doesn’t want to do the work. Very unprofessional! Very disappointed, we could have been on someone else’s wait list. We haven’t put up our little pool as we have an open yard right now. Very frustrating!!

These are the guys if you want sub standard work...answers...and results. Had an appointment for Thursday...no show no text no call. Showed up the next day and told that although we were quoted $30 per hole it would now be $50 per hole as it would all be hand dug. This is because they bring a tractor auger...because yeah...every person who is putting up a fence has all the space in the world for a tractor to get to their fence line. Why they dont have a machine hand auger...??! Next....asked for 6foot on center posts. We have 2 at 6 foot, 1 at 5 and 3/4 feet, one at 5.5 feet. We do have one at 4.5 feet but thats because they hit some old concrete and instead of breaking it up they left a 1 foot hole with instructions for me to soak it in 4 buckets of water overnight and then break it up with a pry bar". My response.."can you not just try a foot over?" They did and the post went in. Didnt think that was a hard one to figure out. So posts are all different spacing...different depths because if they hit any roots

Gary put in post holes and fencing for me and did a great job.Communication was excellent, the crew showed up on time and really knew what they were doing, extremely professional and would recommend to anyone looking for quality workmanship at a reasonable cost.Thanks Gary's Post Holes & Fence

Gary was recommended to me by my buddy who used him on a new house fence.When I called, last Thursday, I was glad to hear Gary was going to be able to fit me in on the upcoming Tuesday.... Even more impressive considering Monday was a public holiday.Then Tuesday morning comes around, and nobody shows up. I called 3 times that day to see if maybe I was slotted as an afternoon job. Hit voicemail everytime.I call again Wednesday morning.... hit voicemail... 4 times.Thursday Morning.... Same situation, different day..Thursday evening... Gary calls me back to tell me he was going to be there on Friday morning. I told him to stay home.By that time, I had rented a one man auger, and the posts were poured in concrete....by myself.I lost 2 days of my vacation week waiting for this guy to show up.Unreliable, unresponsive, and even worse, unapologetic when he's the reason things go sideways.I'm not sure if he promises too much... or he's not able to deliver what he promises... but, for your own sanity, just don't bother.

This is copied from my friends facebook and he would not lie:To Gary's post holes and fences:Nice job Gary! You show up to my friends place without enough concrete for 5 posts. You start throwing in old chipped out concrete in the new holes and my friend takes them out. He asks you to fill the holes properly with fresh concrete and you say you don't have enough. He himself gives you another bag he had in the garage and you top up the holes . You then get in his face and tell him your going to take him to small claims court if he doesn't pay. Which he never refused to pay. You didn't even take money off for him giving you a bag of concrete to finish the job. Trying to intimidate customers by yelling at them and getting into they're faces nice job! Cutting corners and treating customers with no respect will surely put you out of business. Glad I wasn't there to witness this.Even worse my friend is one of the nicest kindest people you'll ever meet. He just got out of the hospital after 2 weeks from surgery. DON'T USE THIS A-HOLE FRIENDS

They work too quickly. Unnecessarily destroyed gardens even when clearly directed how to avoid it. Some posts out of level because they used a 6 level. Did not properly use a string line to line up posts. Did not take the extra time to dig holes deep enough

Gary and his crew set 8 post for me. Laser straight in and out quick.

This company is terrible and unprofessionalThey came and dug holes for us a couple of years agoWe had a manufactured tool to remove the existing posts that were originally installedThey thought it was a fantastic toolThey asked to borrow it, so they too could have one built.Well they have one alright , they refuse to return ours, and say that they don’t even know we are when we callWe have been leaving messages for a year and when they accideny answer my call they hang upDO YOURSELF A FAVOUR, call a reputable companyThis one is not.
