East Coast Fence

Ken and Dave talk a really good game. They had all the right answers beforehand. My biggest mistake was operating on a handshake agreement. Usually I get everything in writing. Like Dave, I'm from the south. Difference being that when I say my word is my bond, I mean it. If I make a mistake, I'll make it right. Ken & Dave submitted my fence to my HOA with setbacks of 10' off the rear property line, and 3' off the side property line. I went to work, and my fence was erected 13.5 off the rear property line and 4' off the side property line. Dave's answer is that I need to pay more money to have it moved to the correct spot. They talked in circles blaming me, my wife, our pool installer, ...even proposed that somehow the property stakes magically moved before their initial measurements, and then miraculously teleported back to the proper spot. Long story short, they are forcing me to take them to the magistrate to recover my losses. I'll win because what they submitted does not match what they actually did. Word to the wise, use a reputable fence company and get everything in writing. PS - I'll be happy to share my plat, emails, and text messages (corroborating my complaint) with anyone who would like to make an informed decision. Message me.
