    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    Spence Fence (SF) was hired to replace a 96' section of my shared wood fence, because the posts had rotted through. The same company installed my less than 5 years old fence; however, they would not assist without payment. My neighbor contacted our home builder and SF was hired to do the replacement and as per SF’s advice, steel posts were to be used instead. The builder, my neighbor, and I evenly split the $3,264 cost. The fence SF installed on May 3, 2023, has caused me to lose access to a portion of my property, they used the wrong wood, and they left several other workmanship related issues. Attached, you will find pictures I both texted and mailed to SF plus a copy of the form given to me on the install day which I signed and returned with my payment that day. I'd like to share the letter I mailed and invoice but you warn about including personal info. Per Sam, SF agent, the new fence was to match my old fence, they’d fully cover the steel posts, and they would use the existing fence line, that they also removed that day, for proper placement. I now understand the new post size affected placement however, they still got it wrong. Also, they used different wood, there are black mold and ink stamps in many places, my landscape rocks and mulch are heavily covered with dirt (but not my neighbor’s side), and there are other issues. I reported the most concerning, which is the placement issue, as soon as I noticed and was assured that the fence was placed on my property line, which wasn’t true as they never found the rear marker. I noticed the wood issue later on. Because of the builder’s involvement, we allowed the project to proceed. I’ve since tried to get someone from SF to visit so I can show them, but they refused. They have also not responded to my letter. As a result, I am submitting this complaint and looking into doing the same with the California Contractors board and going to Small Claims Court. Your assistance will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Don't hire them!!! Got quote for fence (type, style, design)all that goes into the finished product you have "requested and paid for". Spence built an ugly, extremely poor constructed fence "NOT at all" what I paid for nor agreed and discussed upon with Rick who came to my house and gave quote. Requests, decisions all made and the fence that was built 5/25/2021 "IS NOT" what I ordered!!! I want my money $2,295.00 back and the ugly fence removed. The 2 men cut boards with chain saw not skill saw boards look terrible, "did not" build correct style, horrible construction work!!! Boards with no nails on top (2x4)cracked boards, warped, mismatched, cuts not straight or level. Boards, posts showing that were to be covered as per Bonnie on 1st phone conversation. Huge gaps at bottom so fence does not seperate neighbors yard. They used 2x4 at bottom ..omg. Fence style was not to have cross board (base board) at bottom then with 2ft boards on top (ugly ) Not what I agreed and ordered! Planks were to be 3ft to ground. Did not taper (step down fence) as was to also be done. This is only a bit of what's wrong with the ugly, poorly built fence now on my property. Worst built fence I've ever seen!!! I called Spence fence yesterday told them, didn't hear back and today no answer, no call back, no messages as to their plans to refund my money and remove a fence I didn't order. Not pleased!!!
