Is $1,500 to install a fence and two swinging gates a fair price?
Project Details
I paid $1500 for the fence and gates, and also tipped $300. After only 3 months, the post that digs into the cement on one side busted, and the other gate is sagging and warped, making it unusable. I've asked the contractor about it multiple times, and he initially claimed that most people use cinder blocks to protect against wind and that I need to adjust the gate often, which he never mentioned before. I'm upset and unsure if I paid too much for the quality of work received. I've tried contacting him 4-5 times, but he keeps making excuses.
