    Fence install June 2021, which cost $14,000. On day of install, Tom Leader told me there was a potential for problems with fence posts and footers due to not being able to install them the way they wanted. Subsequently, the fence began falling over just 6 months later by Dec 2021. Leader fence attempted a temporary fix in the summer of 2022 that I said wouldn’t work and wasn’t the permanent fix we discussed. He then decided that the fence was fixed in a permanent way and is structurally sound, but if the fence starts falling again that he would return in the spring of 2023. The Fence began falling over again by Dec of 2022. Despite numerous text, calls and emails, they have not returned to fix it. I have pictures and videos of the fence posts and footers from when they were installed as well as after each time the fence began falling. They didn’t remove old fence footers from my previous fence and some of them were in the way of the new footers they were putting in which is why the footers didn’t hold up. Also, some of the footers they installed weren’t dug deep enough which caused the footers to heave and split. A neighbor of mine is a soil engineer and he assessed the fence issues and said that the problem with the footers is due to poor installation. I have emailed Tom Leader and he has either provided an excuse as to why he hasn’t fixed it yet or most recently hasn’t responded to my last few emails. Tom has said he has had health issues and a surgery, but I’m sure his company and crew has been taking on new jobs this year in his absence. It’s not acceptable that it’s been 2 years and the fence isn’t fixed properly. I’ve been very understanding and patient throughout but I need assistance so I’m reaching out to BBB as well as the AG. In addition, I’m considering taking to social media with the pictures and videos of the failed fence.

    I highly discourage anybody and everybody to do business with Leaders Fence Co Inc. My 6 month old vinyl fence came apart and allowed my dogs to get out in the middle of the night while it was below freezing. There had been absolutely no wind that day. I called with the expectation that they would be able to send somebody out to check the work and assure me that no other pieces would just fall apart again. The woman told me their mother died and one of the boys had a heart attack and they had closed due to this until spring. Which is 100% understandable. However, I paid $12,000 for their services and that should come with, at the very least, some sort of reassurance that my fence won’t just fall apart. I asked if I called another fence company to just come check things out, if they would cover the bill at the very least and her response was “NOPE”. She had nothing but an attitude and towards the end of the call accused my 15lb dogs of jumping on it and breaking it. If my 15lb dog can break a fence (even though they have never once jumped on it) maybe you shouldn’t be offering that product. They don’t stand by their work and I’m glad we were handy enough to put it back together ourselves or I obviously would have been stuck with this gaping hole until at least spring.
