You are correct! I will check here before the next big project!
Sorry for your experince with Long. I wouldnt contract with them if they were the last ones around. There are several fence companies in SoMd I'd give my money too before them, and keep the money in SoMd.
Too late now, but there is Massey, McKee, Thomas and Clinton to name a few. I had Massey about 6 years ago, changed out chain to vinyl after I added my garage. Changed out all the chain link, on the side that faced the street, kept chain around rest of yard. It amounted to maybe 50 feet with double gate to the backyard. They did a great job. Got estimates from McKee and Massey, went with Massey, once worked with owners mother many moons ago, at the same time my son was a soccer coach for McKee's son, was a difficult decsion who to choose, estimates were pretty close.
Once had Long's down to give estimate for replacement windows, you would have thought I lived in, Potomac Md or McLean Va. Price was out of this world. Got windows done for about half of what they wanted by Tony and Mickey Graham at Southern Maryland Windows.
