1/10

From the contract to clean-up I was disappointed with First Class Fencing. Between slow build, so-so installation, damage to my property, and threatening me when I tried to discuss the damages, I can't tell you how disappointed I am. I gave this company 1 star only because I did end up with a fence even though it was installed incorrectly in places.

Hi Laurie,

We are one to take responsibility when due and we admit we definitely wish this project went differently. The threat you speak of, as you know, was us trying to remove ourselves and cancel the project because of how difficult you made it for our crew on site. Our highest-rated and most relaxed fence installer nearly quit fencing because of the stress that was induced. I do not want to post the comments that were said here publicly but there is a lot of context missing from this review.

To address the slow installation, was there an expectation it would be done sooner? For 63' of wood fence, we budget 2 days and the project was finished in the 2 days even with the crew being removed while we handled the items above. As a specialized fence company that services 1000 clients per year, I would encourage any potential customer reading this to reach out to us directly to view the fence from the street, the final product was top-notch.

We thought we had come to terms after you spoke with our General Manager, not canceling your project and coming through on a quality product. We would encourage you to reach out so that we can dig deeper into these concerns. admin@firstclassfencing.ca or 403.991.5995.

After being quoted a diagnosis fee of $80, which would then be applied to the flat repair fee of $150 (plus parts), the technician arrived on time. But then it got uncomfortable. He spent the first half hour blaming me and the plumbing for the issue. Then I convinced him to keep looking and he found something in the drain pipe that he removed. It was still not the problem. He told me that diagnosing my machine had now made him late for the rest of his appointments and he quickly diagnosed it as the drain motor, and that the office would get back to me with the part cost and schedule the repair. Well I have spent 2 days trying to get this information from the 'office' while trying to make myself heard over extremely loud background noise. When I finally asked for the parts information they then told me it would be $170 to repair, which is more than the quoted amount. They also told me the part is not available in Calgary (although I am not convinced they looked very hard) and that it would have to be ordered from Korea. I believe that this is the old bait and switch situation where they quote a low diagnosis and repair fee, but they up the charge when they diagnose it. I have no confidence that it is even diagnosed correctly. I expressed my concerns to the office and their customer service was lacking. I asked to escalate my concerns to a supervisor and they told me OK, will get them to call you later. I have still not heard from them...a week later. Furthermore, the tech/owner did not even do a diagnostic on the machine, a process that can easily be found online. Instead he made me sit with him while he ran full cycles. And he wondered why he was behind schedule... And subsequently, I have had another appliance tech come in who did run a diagnostic and fixed the problem without any major repair, but just by running the diagnostic was able to fix it.

I have used Keith for years. He keeps my Lennox' healthy. He knows his stuff and doesn't charge you for stuff you don't need. I will continue to use Keith for years.
