It can be hard to stay on top of communication, especially when you’re scrambling to catch up. But communication is very important so you’re not wrong for expecting it. I will say that the local fence supplier’s inventory is not necessarily relevant because your contractor may be ordering from a wholesaler or manufacturer, may use a different brand or grade of product, etc.

You definitely deserve an honest update regarding the timing of your project so you can plan your life and not be anxious, and your contractor should give you that. And if they won’t do that, I don’t blame you for being frustrated. Good luck!

Not an issue until January. 50% down is very standard for fence companies, so don’t feel like you did anything wrong. And delays happen… I be was about 6 weeks behind schedule earlier this season and if I didn’t stop selling work I would still be there. They should at least answer your calls even if the answer is “I don’t know.” Sorry you’re dealing with that. I hope they come through.
