I chose Jason, partly because of other good reviews, and partly because I felt comfortable about him when he came to give a proper quote. I also found he was responsive to texts - I find non-communicative tradespeople are a nightmare to deal with! I was grateful to one reviewer who shared that she had been worried about paying for all materials at the time of signing the contract, but that it had all been fine. I too was worried, so her reassurance helped. I did, however, insist, before I paid, on being sent a draft contract before Jason came to ask for signing, and on having a date agreed for the work. Jason was accommodating in both respects.
In terms of the work itself, I found Jason and his colleague had integrity, and were professional in their dealings with me and in the quality of their work. The work proved to be more challenging than they had expected, but there was no suggestion I should pay more than agreed for their labour. They were also self-contained - I could get on with my day, without feeling I had to keep offering drinks etc. I am very pleased with the resulting fence work. I highly recommend Jason, and will use him again, if an appropriate need arises.
