Our Fences Are Built to Last ! Having seen the failure points of the fences we have torn-out and replaced over the years, we incorporate innovative touches to the most commonly known failure points of residential cedar fences. Fences fail at the post at ground level and we have developed the post cement dome to effectively combat this. We PREMIX all of our post concrete and do not dry pack post co
ncrete as this is a lazy practice and never sets-up properly. All of our posts are at least 24” in the ground with a full 80 lbs post concrete each.
2. No money deposit policy! Why would you give money to a stranger before any work has been done? So many customers all over the country have been ripped-off by giving deposits to contractors. We maintain an operating budget and never ask for any money up-front.
3. 18 years in business without a single complaint! With over 10 miles of residential fencing installed over the years, we have never
had a complaint of any kind and maintain a perfect record at the Oregon construction contractor’s board. Customer satisfaction is what we are all about and we accomplish this by delivering on time and on budget leaving the jobsite clean and neat.
4. Coated exterior screws as standard! There is no substitute for using exterior screws in the construction of your fence and gates. At $8.00 per pound most contractors will not use screws due to the cost and time to install. Most contractors use nails or staples and these come loose over the years.
5. All fence boards are ¾” Canadian cedar! These is a huge difference between the 5/8” American cedar you get at the big box stores and the ¾” Canadian cedar Embassy Enterprises uses in all fencing applications. Canada has a much slower growing season, so there is a tighter ring pattern in Canadian cedar. The material between the tree rings represent the spring and summer growth of the cedar tree. This is soft material and will soak up moisture in the winter causing the fence boards to swell and will shrink up like a sponge on the kitchen sink in the hot summer months.
6. Metal-framed gates and heavy-duty strike latches! Embassy Enterprises guarantees all work for one-year. The most common reason for a call-back is the gate not latching properly. We have virtually eliminated this by using a metal-framed gate that eliminates sagging and have upgraded all our gate latches to a gloss black post-mounted strike latch that has been a huge hit with all our customers.
7. One millions dollars insurance! Embassy Enterprises carries much more business liability insurance than the state
requires. This high level of insurance is designed to add peace of mind to our customers knowing that in the unlikely event something happens, their home and financial future is not at risk.
8. $10,000.00 Bond! A bond means that in the event that the contractor has acted dishonorably to the
customer, the customer has recourse knowing that the state is holding $10,000.00 to cover a dispute involving money that is available to the customer in a dispute resolution.
9. Interest free financing! This could be the difference between a yes or no to getting your fence built now instead of later. Typically 50% of the total job price is due once the old fence is gone and the new posts are up with the balance due upon completion and final inspection. With the interest free financing program, only 25% of the final payment is due upon completion with the final 25% due either 30, 60, or 90 days later without interest.
10. Service from respectful friendly professionals! Embassy Enterprises is a drug and alcohol free company and we conduct ourselves as dignitaries in your sovereign territory……your home.
