On March 2, 2006 we signed a contract and paid in full to have Cowboy Fence & Deck replace a section of fence. According to the contract, the job was to have been completed on 3/6/06. That date came and went and no work had been done on our fence.

We called **name removed** multiple times and when he finally bothered to return our calls he was full of excuses as to why it hadn't been done.

He kept promising to get someone out, but did not get a crew to our house until 3/14/06. The crew tore down the old section of fence and piled the debris in our front yard. They never came back to put up the new fence.

We placed multiple calls to Mr. Carter to find out when our new fence would be put up, but he never bothered to return any of those calls. Finally, after three days of no fence and a yard full of debris, we had to assume that he had no intention of ever completing the job, so we fired him and requested a refund (minus his expenses for the tear down of the old fence).

We submitted a complaint to the BBB. **name removed** responded to the complaint by saying that he would give us a refund of $850. We agreed to that resolution on 3/28/06. **name removed** never sent us the refund, nor did he return any phone calls until April 14, 2006. On that date he promised to have the refund check to us the next day. As usual, he failed to deliver on that promise. We still don't have our refund from him and he hasn't returned any phone calls since then.

Unless you enjoy just throwing your money away, stay far, far away from **name removed** and Cowboy Fence and Deck.

    Sounds like a bad experience, Curly Girl...Were you required to pay for the work in full? Usually, reputable companies accept a deposit.

    Sounds like it is time for you to go to small claims court againt this guy. Good luck.

    I don't know why we do it, I've done it several times---never pay up-front! If they need money for materials, it means they have no credit. If the have no credit, it's not a good company to do business with. Even if you get your money back, the hassel takes its toll! Good Luck.

    I used Cowboy fence and deck and they were great. Please read my review for further info.

    This is the same experience I had. The owner is a liar at heart. Since he screwed me over and owes me money on a work/fence/for trade project, (he refused to pay after I did all the work.) and since his shoddy fence work is warping and gaping and the stain job is incomplete, (got more on my vehicles than the fence it seems) I'm going to make sure my page about this story comes up next to his on the internet. check it out. full story to come later - http://www.allenlharris.com/cowboy-fence-company.html

    June 2007: The Cowboy Fence and Deck scam is still in business and ripping people off.
    They stole $800.00 from me here recently.

    The business is run by a pathological Liar.
    Jamey Carter is the guy I'm talking about.

    As of 2008 they are still doing business. How I don't know! They ripped us off for $5481.66 for a deposit on fencework they never would come do! Having to get American Express involved to get our money back. Stay away from Cowboy Fence and Jamey Carter. Extremely bad business!!

    They're now ripping people off, like me, under the name Dallas Fence and Decks. They took my deposit after a month all I had to show for my money was some posts and shoddy work. Now they've begun threatening me and I've had to go to the police for help. Avoid Dallas Fence and Decks and Jamey Carter.

    Jamey Carter and his whole family are con artists. If you give Dallas Fence and Decks money, kiss it goodbye.
