Amendola's Fence?

Anyone use them?

We're having them come for an estimate for the front of our house. We don't have the $$$ to do the entire back yard so we just need fence on either side.

Re: Amendola's Fence?

I had them come out and they were a rip off. We ended up using South Side Fence. Alot less $$ and they were in and out in no time.

We're using Greg from Farmingdale Fence - he was the best price for what we wanted to do. He actually comes tomorrow to install.

We are getting the entire back portion only of our backyard done in PVC to match our neighbors.

They were the highest so far for us as well... about 30% higher than the second two lowest quotes.

Rose was pretty reasonable but my DH noticed that the warranty that they talk up so much isn't all that great... it clearly states that they are not responsible if the fence is installed incorrectly... which makes no sense because they would be doing the installation.

I think we are getting one more estimate but we pretty much know who we are using.

Re: Amendola's Fence?

I need a gate for a 7 foot opening I have on the side of the house.

I went to one fence place and they wanted $900 bucks for JUST the labor. Chat Icon The fence with the gate would be another $600 or so. Insane!

Since it's such a small place, I am having a handyman from craigslist install the fence. Just getting standard PVC. No bells or whistles since its such a small area.

I refuse to pay for high markups from fence stores for such an insignificant area.

We used them...and we love our fence.

They were very professional and were there when they said they would be!

Thats always a plus in my book.

Re: Amendola's Fence?

I priced about 5 different fence places and they were the cheapest.

I highly recommend them!

The previous homeowners used them for the PVC and they were the cheapest they told us. The fences look good, so I recommend them!

We used Liberty Fence and were very happy with them. We did a full side of PVC with a single front gate and driveway gates. I think it was under $2k and our neighbor split the cost of the side with us and got a gate for himself. We have the BEST neighbors - thank goodness!

Re: Amendola's Fence?

we got an estimate from Amendola, they were a little pricey, but I guess I got a lot of overpriced quotes, since they were pretty close to other companies we called.

we ended up using Corral Fence on a recommendation, and they had the best price and great service!! they're based out of Valley Stream, I have some pics in my album of the railing they did for us.

Re: Amendola's Fence?

We used Roberts fence for both our front PVC and backyard Cedar & chain link. They were priced right and really easy to deal with. My husband worked for Amendola a long time ago and I don't like the way they operate.

Re: Amendola's Fence?

I have heard from many people that they are the highest price around.

Try Liberty Fence or Olympia Fence

I used Liberty instead of Amendola. Much cheaper, quality was pretty much the same IMO.

Re: Amendola's Fence?

Scott on this site referred a fence installer for us and they did an awesome job and it was really cheap! We bought the fence ourselves from Home Depot and they came to install it. FM if you are interested!

That's exactly what we did plus a gate. While they weren't cheap it was a fair price. We've had the fence 3 years and it looks as good as new. They were efficient and reliable. I would use them again!

was the fence put on your property line or just on one person's side? we're going through this now, the fence company put it two feet over his property line and we split the costs, and the company says they aren't responsible for that.

I had to do business with them about 6 years ago and they were the biggest A-holes on the planet.

Re: Amendola's Fence?

We had our fence done about 3 1/2 years ago and they were about $1000 higher than Rose Fence. It was shockingly high IMO. I was going to say that maybe that's not the case for everyone but I see a lot of people received high quotes from them. Did you try Rose? I was very very happy with them. We even had an issue with the fence a little while later and they were very prompt about coming and fixing it. We used the Freeport location.
