Quote *******. All communications after getting me to sign a contract were dodgy texts, disappointing texts and automated impersonal texts. Signed contract on 7/16. Immediately got an email with fully executed contract and the supposed timeline of events. The very next day on 7/17, I got an automated text about it raining a lot so my project would be delayed but I had no install date so that was confusing. Two days after that I got a text message at 7pm on a Friday letting me know who my project manager would be and that the very next morning on a Saturday, I should expect a preinstall visit from the installer and to be available on site. The installer no call, no show, no apology, no reschedule. That was my original source of disappointment that led me to not trust the process, but the project manager made it clear she did not care and was not a source of reassurance. Instead, she told me the installer was busy installing a fence somewhere else. I called Ergeon twice the next week to get a better understanding of if I really needed the pre install visit and instead I was given a tentative date by phone for installation in August. Had to email and text the project manager twice again a few days later and asked to assign me a new more responsive project manager and she reluctantly texted and said 8/7/24 installation but no start time because this may change if it rains. It neither rained on 8/7/2024 nor did I get a fence. Instead I got a text that the installers truck broke down. I called Ergeon again and was transferred to a regional manager who has not called me back. No date for installation. I am now 4 weeks behind after the hurricane in ******* on finding a fence contractor at my rental property. I want resolution to be delivery of the product (fence) as stated on the contract.Business Response

Date fence was completed 3/19/24 Date First bill was sent for payment 5/8/24 Total shown in preview was $1021.50 Total when clicking the link to pay was $778.77 Date Second bill was sent for payment 5/15/24 Total $825.67 On July 6th 2024 I looked at my payment to Ergeon to which they charged a 4th number of $1467 I contacted the number from which the project manager was texting me from as well as the main number. I never received an answer from the project manager and the people from the main phone kept telling me they needed to talk to the project manager in order to get this straightened out. Between 7/6/24 and 8/2/24 I called several times to which was given the same answer they were still needing to contact the project manager. On 8/2/24 I was finally given a call back after calling them again and told they had gotten a hold of the project manager and the total I was charged was the correct amount. After asking the billing specialist why I was given 3 different amounts then charged a 4th amount they said that the quotes given during the project are subject to change. I told her that those quotes were given to me over a month and a half after the fence was completed she said she would then need to reach back out to the project manager. It is completely unacceptable to be given 4 different totals over a month and a half after the fence is done and now be taking another month now to get my first answer and still have to wait to talk to someone regarding the issue with the totals.Business Response

There have been issues every step of the process with them due to lack of communication, non-transparency with pricing, and lack of information. I was charged for them to "draw" up a site plan that was needed to obtain a permit for their project. The site plan was wrong 4 TIMES before they got it right (or so I thought). I submitted the plan to the city and was immediately denied a permit bc they placed the fence on a utility line, something a contractor should know not to do. Our Project Manager assured me they would be "virtually" on-site to meet the subcontractor (yes, subcontractor, Ergeon does NONE of the work and did not communicate this upfront) on installation day and make sure everything runs smoothly. The subcontractor arrived unknowledgeable about the project without the site plans and the project manager was nowhere to be found, not to mention they only spoke Spanish. How would you not communicate with a client that there would be a language barrier during the project? I was not happy with the end result of the fence installation. Some of the slats are broken, slanted, or have gaps and the gates are not secure and could easily fly off with a heavy gust of wind. After complaining to Ergeon and advising them I would be reporting my entire experience to the BBB, I was quickly gifted a $300 discount, a gift basket, and an Amazon gift card. Moreover, they refuse to send me an itemized invoice of what I'm being charged. They "charge you per concrete bag, rail, slat, and post used" but don't share how many units are actually being charged with you (only they know), they only give you a very generic invoice, not an itemized one. I asked them tp produce an itemized invoice 7/5 so that I can confirm that what I'm being billed is what was in fact installed, I asked again on 7/9, 7/11, 7/12 and when I still hadn't received the itemized invoice, I requested a manager. No one responded nor has anyone gotten in contact with me since that day. This company is shady.Business Response

Hello ******,
Thanks again for taking my call today! As discussed, we have been working with cx for months now. We are going back there this week to install a new latch, 24" drop rod and have provided cx with a $500 discount. Below is screen shot of our email thread, let me know if you have any questions.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22005499
I am rejecting this response because although a proposal to resolve the issues has been made on Aug 5, it has yet to get completed.The proposal does include returning to install a new latch, 24" drop rod and provide a $500 discount. One can make a proposal, that doesn't guarantee follow-through, once those items proposed are fulfilled then I can accept the response provided by the business.
Sincerely,

I hired this company to do a bew gate. Company took ***** pictures and measurements. Installer came out installed the gate, it was perfect, other then a gap at the bottom with enough space for a cat to fit thru. I phone my project manager ******, sent him pictures of the problem. He sent someone to do repairs, the guy came, it got dark, he's working with the light from hom cellphone, both times he came ,it was the same situation. The repair was left worst than when he started, he left a huge gap at the top of the gate. I again informed the project manager, only to get ran around for months, thru late winter. Today June 13th he sends the same guy, who took the gate down, to install a new one, that had the exact same gap at the top.Business Response

This is for poor fence installation at my ******************************, *********, ** property. Contracted Feb 27, 2024, project began April 8th with a 3-day estimate. It's now week ten and unfinished.Issues Experienced:Delays: The project, still unfinished, has now entered its ninth week, experiencing significant delays far exceeding the initial estimate.Persistent Communication Issues: Communication with Ergeon has been a constant source of frustration. Emails outlining critical details and requesting confirmations have gone unanswered for extended periods. My recent attempt to reach *********************, Ergeon's Senior ******************** Manager, resulted in him acknowledging my email but failing to provide any substantive response or confirmation regarding the project's status or upcoming appointments.Unreliable Information and Unfulfilled Commitments: The information Ergeon has provided throughout the project has been unreliable. Promised appointments have not been confirmed, and attempts to clarify timelines or address concerns have been met with silence. This lack of transparency and accountability has made it extremely difficult to plan around the project and hold Ergeon responsible for their performance.Disregard for Specific Requests: Ergeon does not acknowledge any specific requests, raising concerns about their commitment to addressing past issues and ensuring a successful completion.Unrealistic Scheduling: Ergeon proposed scheduling the on-site visit with the Field Director before the installation. This illogical approach would prevent a proper assessment of any remaining problems, potentially leading to further delays and rework.Frustration with Ergeon's Performance:These persistent communication issues have been a major source of frustration. The lack of responsiveness and transparency from Ergeon has left me feeling powerless and disregarded. The project significantly exceeds the initial timeframe, and the quality of work necessitates correction.Business Response

Complaint: 21819528
I am rejecting this response because:A crew did arrive on Saturday, June 29. However, instead of completing the project as promised, they proposed an alternative solution for my convenience. Unfortunately, they once again lacked the necessary materials to finish the job, resulting in another wasted weekend and at least 6 hours of our time lost.
It is evident that there are ongoing communication issues and a lack of project oversight. Essential details continue to be overlooked, causing further delays and frustration.
Given the persistent problems and wasted time, we remain highly dissatisfied with Ergeon's service. We are requesting the BBB's assistance in assisting a swift and fair resolution, including:
--Formal Request for On-Site Visit: Once again, we formally request a prompt on-site visit with Ergeon's senior and/or executive management (not a 3rd party contractor) no later than July 15 2024 to assess the project and propose a realistic completion timeline
--Contract Termination: If an on-site visit cannot be completed before July 15, 2024, we request the termination of the contract without any penalty.
Sincerely,

On April 26, 2024 Ergeons contracted fence company completed a poorly done job of installing a fence. Two weeks and three days later the fence has several issues including gaps in the fence and warping. I have contacted the project manager who said would get the guys out to fix the issue but since theyve already taken my money are being very slow in getting someone out to do it. When I first had issues before they were paid they were here the next day.Business Response

On September 19th, I had a conversation with an individual named ****** from your office. Despite our discussion almost three days ago, I have yet to receive a follow-up or the requested documentation. Specifically, I am awaiting:
The contractor's license.
A copy of the permit or the permit application.
It is essential that these documents are promptly sent to Benchmark. The delay is causing inconvenience, and I urge you to prioritize this matter to ensure that the project can proceed without further hindrances.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your prompt response and resolution.

Approaching three months since estimate performed. Project manager cannot schedule this small job (two gates). I am promised regular communication, and then mainly get responses when I ping for a status update. Cant even get a scheduling commitmentdespite being told repeatedly it will happen. [Note: order continues to have the incorrect address, despite my attempts to correct it.] Of course, nothing in the contract guarantees a specific time frame. But I have lost confidence that progress will be made.Business Response

Good afternoon, all. After checking the details of this project and reviewing communications, there is an installation date already set in our system (September the 11th). Also, the issue with the address is caused by the fact that ****** Maps does not recognize number 15 1/2, but rest assured that all parties involved have been informed accordingly.

I have made phone calls and sent emails. Nobody from Ergeon replies. The first week of July 2023, an Ergeon crew installed damaged vinyl fencing during a new fence construction. The agreement my neighbor and I signed stated that a job ******* would conduct a final walk through after construction. That did not occur. The company has ignored my request for replacement of the bad fence panel.Business Response
