Hi All,
I hired George for a fence with a very short notice because a builder who is well-known to me who I deliberately delayed the job for disappointed me after few months wait and I was not going to leave the fence undone during Christmas.
Therefore, I hired George who I only sent couple of pictures. Due to the very tight notice and Christmas closures, he advised on the materials to purchase and I got them. When he came, he discovered other problems with the landscape, all of which did not show in my photos. He explained the problems and I recognised them immediately and I know my photos were had missed the problems on the other side, in the neighbours property.
I was expecting him to be disappointed, be put off and probably turn back given the magnitude of the problems. Yet he said "don't worry, it's not your fault, I will see what we can do". He then advised we change all the materials and he had painstakingly brought in earlier. He then took everything out again, telling me to leave them to him so that I do not hurt myself.
He arrived 9:10am but was unable to start work around 3:00pm. Yet, he was not complaining. He completed the work very late in the evening and I was highly impressed with his work to the point I decided to give him extra money. The best accolade came from my wife few days later, she said "this fence is beautiful, it gives a nice look from the kitchen".
I cannot recommend him enough. He is one in a thousand fencer!
