Had Jon build my deck two years ago. Was friendly and accommodating at first but when 3 of my bannisters broke and foundation deteriorated he told me he no longer worked for Midwest fencing and deck.

They build a good fence. But don't call Jon for any kind of repair work. He won't give a clear estimate and then pads the bill with labor. There is no way that it took 6 hours to replace one post. $500 bill with less than $70 in materials is ridiculous.

Received Jon in my house for a quote, I also provided measurements and drawings for reference. I never got the quote, when I called he said to me I didn't want a quality project so he did not send it. After I called and left messages 3 time. After another call he agreed to give me a ballpark estimate before doing a full quote, but I haven't heard from him since. And all that right after he did my neighbor's deck. Way to go!
