Able Fence and Deck

Unfortunately a zero rating is not an option. Hired Able Fence and Deck to build a 600 SF above ground deck to match up with the 14 ft elevation of our home. We detected many problems and poor workmanship and Jason and Chasity assured us that any and all problems would be corrected at their expense. They have completely ignored calls and texts. Decking boards popping up (was not aware that the we’re using nail gun instead of screws til too late), deck sloping wrong direction ( channels water toward house instead of away from house and off deck), many, many boards split by sloppy nailing at end of boards, sloppy cuts, railing not notched out at posts, posts extend above railing on steps (also railing is uneven), structural support (8x8) tied to the frame with 3/8” lag screws instead of galvanized bolts, stair stringer cut too short and instead of starting over with new boards they scabbed off of the short boards , did not install any flashing against home and basically left a mess upon completion. Do not rely on Facebook posts as they have blocked my review. Pictures and explanations available.

This company put my fence up a few years ago. In less than 6 months my gates began to fall inward at the top resulting in a gap at bottom of at least an inch and the top rubbing so bad I had to kick the gate to open. I called and told them the problem and even texted pictures. I was told they would be over in a few days after finishing up another job. 2 weeks, no show. Left several voice mails with no reply. Then a month later I get a text that things were slow so he had to take a job as a painter in a plant. Less than 2 weeks after that message I'm driving down I-10 and who do I see? The owner and his wife hauling material for another job. I pulled on the side of them blew my horn and they saw me but chose to keep their eyes forward. I called them and watched her look at her phone and let it go to voice mail. I tried to give the little guy my business and got screwed.
