It was a pleasure working with you both times and I hope that we can do more work for you in the future designing and building your pergola, benches and planters. Thank you very much for writing a review to spread the word about Richmond Cedarworks.
All the best
Hello Andrew
I am sorry to hear that you are this disappointed with the job Richmond Cedarworks completed for you. I would like to address these concerns you have because I was onsite personally and am always looking for feedback from my clients to improve our services.
I would like to address the duration of your project. We discussed that the job should take approximately 3 days under good conditions. The conditions on your property were not good as you are aware, it rained heavily and snowed while we were working there. Your old fence that was only 7 years old fell over because the builder put the posts in around a drain pipe down the shared property line. Once we found the pipe and showed it to you we had to wait for you and your neighbor to agree to move the fence 2 – 3 inches towards her house. The neighbor refused to agree to moving the fence at all, even 1 inch she told me personally. I then waited another few days for her and her son who was away to give us an answer. In the meantime, we finished closing in the other property lines for you but were at a standstill waiting for permission to proceed. I am sorry about the delays but had no control over it as I can not make decisions about property line boundaries for my clients and was at her mercy to wait. We were in fact on site during the rain and snow and took photos for the neighbor in the snow, so we could communicate via text with her. Once we had a decision about the new fence placement we did in fact finish it the next business day.
I rinsed off the rear patio where I was cutting and building for you and used a leaf blower to tidy up the yard and walkways when we left as I always do for my clients. As for the muddy hose and footprints I can not control what happened several days after we finished. I would have done more cleaning for you if requested but you said that you were satisfied with the fence and paid your invoice.
We would have been happy to fill in any hole’s leftover from removal of the old fence if you had mentioned them to me. Sometimes small details are missed, and I apologize for that.
I would have raked the stones down the fence line for you if requested. If we put too many stones in one area it would have a simple fix to shuffle them down if we were asked too. I pride myself on workmanship and client satisfaction. It’s unfortunate that you are so extremely unsatisfied, and I feel that this could have been easily remedied had you mentioned these things to me personally instead of saying nothing at all and writing a bad review for us after the fact. I hand built that fence for you and know that it will last many years as I have been building fences by hand in the Lower Mainland for almost 20 years now. Please remember to put stain on it this spring as we discussed to ensure it is protected and stays looking great.
Best regards

Hi Nicole
It was a pleasure working with you on the ground level deck. We love to hear good feedback about our company and team. We were also happy to design, plan and build the deck for you. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. I am also very pleased that you took my advice and stained it. Remember to give it a quick coat coat of stain every year to keep it looking great. As always I am available to coach you on maintenance and anything else.
Warm regards
