  He is not the person to deal with, I have called several times about him completing my iron gate. I gave Forrest half of the money for my gate in February 2025 and here it is May 2025 and still no gate completed. Every week I call and all i get is excuses about his workers are sick or out of town. I wished i would've done more investigation on his company. every word that comes out of his mouth is a LIE and I should've known better and did more research on his company.

  Hi Mr. *****.  I am working toward getting your fence completed as quickly as possible.

  
  

  I understand your frustration while we have been having a very difficult time with employee sickness and time off.

  
  

  I will update your later this week, as we discussed last week.

  Unfortunately I am also a victim of Forrest Scott Fencing. It seems like there is a trend to the complaints filed here. I should have been smart enough to investigate him before hiring him. All I need is about an hour of follow up work to remedy the issue. He installed a defective lock and knob on my walk through gate. Apparently he feels he doesn't have any obligation to resolve the problem. I called him at least a dozen times. I never once indicated my frustration, I merely asked for what I paid for. He promised at least 5 times, "We will be there first thing in the morning."
  So now, my number is apparently blocked because I can't even get an answer.
  At this point, I don't even want any resolution from him. I will fix the problem myself and chalk up the experience to lesson learned.
  I'm sure as long as they have been in business they probably have a few satisfied customers. But considering how easily he could be receiving a positive review from me instead of a bad one, he apparently isn't concerned with his reputation.
  I strongly urge anyone considering Forrest Scott Fencing for their work to think twice.

  The only reason I gave Forrest Scott Fencing, Inc. one star review is because review wouldn’t let me pick anything less than 1 out of 5 stars. The owner, Forest Scott business practices are unethical, and I am so disappointed that I ever trusted him to build a fence at my home. I should have checked BBB first!
  If you need a fence or gate built, my suggestion to anyone is, DO NOT used Forest Scott Fencing Inc. There seems to be a pattern based on based on dozens of BBB reviews. I needed a simple chainlink fence built at my residence. He requires half for deposits, then I waited to be scheduled and waited. When I call Forrest Scott to find out why the work hasn’t begun, I have to leave message after message and or leave a message with whoever he has answering his phone to have Forrest call me back. After I got fed up and ask for deposit back, he continues ghost and avoid me. He has obviously used the money either to pay off other debts or for his own personal gain. Very unscrupulous/criminal business ethics .
  He still owes me my deposit from 2020 and obviously seems Forrest Scott /Forrest Scott fencing Inc, doesn’t have any intentions of refunding my deposit. I had to resort to filing law suit to get his attention. I received a judgment against Forrest Scott Fencing and he still continues to ignore the fact he owes me. I also petitioned for garnishment and still no response from Forest Scott Fencing Inc. I guess since he is the owner he’s not going to garnish his own wages. This is definitely been a learning experience about the Fencing business. I guess my next resort is to try and find other people he’s done this to and file a class action suit against Forest Scott Fencing, Inc.
  I am not sure how he is still allowed to operate in a business in Louisiana. Buyers be aware!

  Forrest Scott fencing company installed a wood fence and electric gate in 2019. I have been contacting them for approximately a year after installing the fence and gate regarding the fact that the gate is leaning and separating from the fence and part of the wood fence is also leaning. They finally sent someone out to assess the situation in June of last year. The fence and gate are under warranty for five years. The repair man came out and initiated repairs to the gate, but did not come back to complete the repairs. He stated that he had to go back to the office to get a saw, but never returned. He also propped the leaning fence up and stated that he needed to pour more concrete so that it would remain upright. Again, he has not returned. Several messages have been left on their answering machine as well as a message via text. As usual, there is absolutely no response. I had problems with this company initially, when they took money for the deposit and didn’t return. After multiple phone calls, they finally came out and got the work done. I do not understand why this company is still allowed to be in business with their businesse practices. I am only seeking that the warranty work be completed, including repairing the gate and adjusting the leaning fence

  Hi Mrs. ******.
  I am not aware of any additional service work remaining at your home after our last visit.
  I will have my office call and schedule a day and time when you are available to discuss your concerns.

  This is a follow up from a review that I left on Forrest Scott Fencing in November. His response On this BBB site was that he was unaware that there was any more work to be completed. He did call and come out to assess the work that needed to be completed approximately two days after I left the message on this website. He acknowledged that there is work that needs to be completed his office staff set up 2 appointments but the workers did not show. I called the office and spoke to Mr. ***** himself and he said that his workers reported that they came out and I was not at home. I was home on both scheduled appointments despite the rain on the first appointment. Mr. ***** then stated that he was going to place me back on the schedule to have the work completed and that has been approximately three weeks ago. I can only assume that small claims court is the only option at this point. Thank you!
