Testimonials
Hiring a company to do work at your home should be an informed decision. That’s just what Angie’s List does; they provide consumers with information about companies by organizing reviews about service and quality. It is a great way to vet out the best company for the job.
Angie’s List is all about accountability and honesty. Reviews are never anonymous, and those who post reviews must adhere to the List’s rules that are in place to avoid false reviews and to prevent companies from hi-jacking the list and using it as some sort of promotional vehicle.
Angie’s List provides reviews that are in-depth and rich in details addressing many issues like price, quality, professionalism and promptness, to name a few. As a member you also gain support if a job from a recommended company goes south. Angie’s list has a complaint and resolution department that works for the consumer to help resolve problems professionally.
It is a great way for consumers and companies to communicate and talk about issues or problem they may have. Often times a company will use the feed back from Angie’s List to know how they are doing and change procedures if needed. Thanks to the good members of Angie’s List who had these kind words for us.
“They were great in all of their suggestions, sent me an extraordinary installer–who then refined the design–who understood exactly what the needs of the yard were. They were great!” – S.C. Beverly Hills, CA
“I went on Angie’s List to see if I could find a contractor and came upon Guardian, who not only had the kind of fence I was looking for but who have a special version for pets. David arrived promptly at 8:30 as promised, in the pouring rain! He was polite and professional and did an excellent job.” – R.W. Long Beach, CA
“The suggestions as to the best materials to use were just right. The configuration of the pool presented some difficulties, which were easily managed, and the workmanship is top notch.” – P.M. Pacific Palisades, CA
“They installed the fencing exactly as we had agreed upon, even modifying it slightly so that I would have an additional opening in order to water plants on the other side of the fence. When they left there was nothing to clean up and everything was ready to go.” – B.C. Calabasas, CA
ALL of Our YELP Reviews
Many people are using YELP as their first choice when they are choosing a certain business or service. Many small businesses believe however that Yelp is filtering their good reviews out, unless they purchase advertising. A Class Action Lawsuit was filed against YELP recently, where business owners accused the online company for distortion. They claimed that YELP promised to remove bad reviews if they advertise with them. We’ve been contacted numerously to sign up but we always declined. Their basic advertising costs $300/month and they require us to sign a minimum of one year contract. Even though we were not promised bad review removal, we believe that this could be the reason for our positive reviews disappearing and only negative showing.
Please take a look at the YELP lawsuit website.
Guardian Pool Fence Systems Corporate office has 3 reviews on Yelp, 2 bad and one good. You would think that most of our customers are dissatisfied with us. However when I log in to our business account I see that we have 15 filtered reviews that are NOT showing to visitors:
“I am extremely happy with the fence from Guardian Fence Co. It was specially made to my specifications to ensure the safety of our little dogs. The rep who came to our house for the original bid was fabulous and the install was done in a timely fashion in spite of the fact that this was a special order. The installer was professional, quick and very pleasant. Here is a shout out to Gabe, Steve and the great office ladies who took care of me each time I called with an inquiry.” – Valerie B – Woodland Hills
“My guardian is functional, safe and I purchased it because I have small dogs; my neighbors have small children and safety was my first concern. I wanted to reduce my liability and respect my city’s codes and for the safety of my neighbors. I am extremely pleased. I can go on vacation and feel completely secure.” – Angel T. Calabasas
“I am a dealer my self for Guardian Pool Fence in Florida. I could have chosen to become a dealer from a local company here in Florida but I did not. I chose Guardian because their product is far superior to any others in the business. Steve, the owner of Guardian was very nice and runs his business right. He cares very much about his business and he loves what he does. I am glad to have become a dealer for him and am happy I chose Guardian.” – Lee L. Tarpon Springs
“Very good customer service, when I called them to schedule the free estimate they were professional from A to Z. The installation went smooth, the guy was in and out in a couple of hours. I got follow up emails, they make you feel that you are important. I now have a nice fence around the pool. I was worried first that it won’t look good but it’s actually attractive.” – Vili O, Fort Lauderdale
“we have had our fence for 11 years, it is still in great shape, the peace of mind when the grand kids are around is worth every penny of the cost. It has also worked great to keep my golden retriever out of the pool and then coming thru the dog door wet.” - bill k. – Canyon Country CA
“We LOVE our fence! We had it installed about 8 years ago now and it is still like new! It is an excellent safety fence that also allows us to enjoy the beauty of our pool without a lot of ugly obstruction with metal gates and bars. It has given us peace of mind when the kids are out back playing. And, it look more like a creative feature rather than a fence. We are VERY happy and wouldn’t go any other way and have recommended Guardian to others!” – TKS – Exter CA
“I have had their fence for over 6 years and have recommended it to a bunch of my friends. They have stood by the product on multiple occasions. My dog has chewed throw the fense 4 times in the last 6 years and they have come out and put up a whole new section of fence for free…….yes for free. Also, the installers have been great…very helpful and nice to work with.” – Casey C – Folsom CA
“I have had their fence for over 10 years and have recommended it to a dozen other pool owners. They have stood by the product on multiple occasions, even when my pool guy fell into the pole and bent it beyond repoar. I have also since the initial install had tehm come out and add a pet fence in for me as well as anther fence around my in-laws pool. For the money and the safety awareness, i can’t see how anyone wouldn’t use the. I found the service/installation/and recommendations provided extremely valuable and proactive.” – Tim P. – Monterey Park CA
”We live in the high desert North of LA where it gets really hot, windy and very cold in winter months. This fence came down today after 13 years of life saving work. That’s right all 4 my grandchildren swim like fish!! This fence (2 gates around my 15×30′ pool) has served my family and hundreds of children at play for countless hours…but most importantly it has given my wife and I total peace of mind which is PRICELESS. Only some minor wear over the years which is to be expected. The fence never lost its strength. So contacted the folks at guardian and was able the little caps that go in the holes where the fence was located. I can’t thank the folks at Guardian enough for such a wonderful product. I rolled the fence up, bagged and stored it away for the GREAT grandchildren ….Thank you so very much” – Bob M – Canyon Country CA
“I want to thank you for your professionalism, impeccable workmanship and service in the installation of the safety fence. Your assistance and patience in every aspect of this endeavor is very much appreciated. I can’t express what a difference that extra safety precaution has made in easing my worries.” – Jennifer T – Dallas TX
“They sell a good product that is why we chose them, HOWEVER their installers and distributors are worthless and the company make no effort to correct anything nor do they care. You would think in this day and age they would provide better customer service and value paying customers. We do do our research and was provided information on a area rep, HAHAHA that is a bunch of baloney. They are independent contractors and back up none of their work.” – Marie S., Indio
HERE IS OUR RESPONSE FOR THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW:
I regret to hear that you had a bad experience with the local dealer. We strive for high customer satisfaction and open to solve any reasonable issues. I am sad to hear that you were unhappy with the installation and I hope the fence that you had installed is the quality you expected. We 100% behind our products with warranty. Please let us know if you have any trouble with our fence in the future.
”Steve Sadinsky sent a top-flight team over to install his Guardian Pool Safety Fence at a client’s home in Palos Verdes. Excellent work. Not only did they do a great install, but they also provided some insights on other pool elements that can be enhanced for safety and for the architectural look and feel of the pool. Top-notch all around. Thanks for the great experience. A happy Guardian Pool Fence client “on the hill”. – Mark – Blaine WA
“If I could give a zero star I would. First appt. with the estimator went fine. I was happy with the presentation that I decided to have the install done. Made the appt for the install with the estimator since he was my point of contact. He confirmed the appt and said we were good to go on a Sat. between the hours of 8-11am. No one shows up and the estimator takes several hours to call back and apologize. Saying there was an error made at the office. Fine I understand mistakes are made. Call the office on Monday to speak with the owner. He starts off berating me saying what did I expect since they never had a signed contract from me. After explaining the story he changes his tune and offers to knock $50.00 off the $1400 contract. (Whatever!) So I make a new appt with the owner and he takes a deposit from me even though he doesn’t have a signed contract. So the appt is for the up coming Sat. between 11am and 1pm. Guess what, come 1:15pm no one shows up or calls. Estimator does not return phone calls. At 3:30pm the installer calls and says he is on his way. He tells me that he called at 1pm and left a message on the answering machine that he was running late. Interesting considering I was at home the whole time and there was no message on the machine or number on the caller ID. I point this out to him and he tells me he had poor reception. (How can he than have gotten a message machine and left a message than?) We tell him that we would like a discount on the contract for having wasted two weeks of our time. He calls the owner and all they were willing to take off was another $50.00. We proceed to tell them to not bother coming and we will take our business elsewhere. My advice is to find another company as if their service is reflective of their product and installation I can’t imagine it lasting long and having them stand behind their warranty.” – TB Monrovia

We received this fax when we completed a job in Chatsworth, Ca. The customer was clearly not happy with his previous pool fence and he explains why he likes our fence. This is one of our Pool Fence Reviews:
Risha Pazsoldan Chatsworth, Ca
Guardian Pool Fence installed a pet mesh pool fence for me. My first pool fence was installed 1 1/2 years ago with poor results. The mesh began to sag and the poles leaned within a few months. When I called Mike Saber of Baby Guard Pool Fences his voice mail did not mention Baby guard. I left several messages and never received a call back.
When I called the corporate headquarters in Florida I was told Mike Saber no longer represented them. I was given a number in San Diego for their local rep. Each time I called for someone to come and repair my fence, with a lifetime guarantee, I was told he would come when there were several customers to service. He infonned me he receives many complaints about Mike Saber. I have repeatedly called the rep in San Diego with no results. Excuses excuses and more excuses.
A few months ago my Airedale Terrier began to rip the mesh and finished offthe rest of the fence. I called Guardian and met with Adam who helped me choose a new fence. This is a local company that has been in business for a long time. He showed me “pet mesh” which deters dogs from damaging the fence. Mike Saber had never offered that. Guardian installed my fence and it looks great. My dog has tried to rip it but has not been able.
Guardian scheduled an appointment in a timely manner. The installation is well done and I have not noticed any problems. Guardian left my yard looking better than before- I have confidence that should any problem occur a quick call to Adam at Guardian would resolve any matter-
I am grateful to Guardian Pool Fence for being a reliable company with a superior product and providing excellent customer service as well.
Yours truly;
Risha Pazsoldan
LETTER FROM A CUSTOMER
Guardian’s Angels
It’s said in life we all get a chance to act as angels. This is never more true than in any profession that safeguards the life of a child…
When I call your company to ask about your fencing or schedule an appointment, I may end up talking to someone called a receptionist, salesperson, or even an owner of the company. In reality this “label” means very little to me. What I’m really looking for is a guardian Angel – someone who wants to help me provide protection for my child, my grandchild or neighborhood children…
When you come to my home to look at my pool, answer my questions, or show me where your fencing would be best placed, again you act as angel. If I ask too many questions or seem defensive or even arrogant, please don’t get annoyed. There’s a precious life at stake. If I’m being cheap, don’t offer me an inferior product. Tell me you value the life of my child more than a quick sale.
When you drill holes for fence poles in my yard or deck and lay out fencing, please keep in mind you are literally erecting a barrier between life and death. And while I may not show my appreciation, my child is so very thankful you take your job seriously, take your time and do your best. For after your gone, a tribute to your strong spirit stays behind, guarding the pool like a sentinel and offering protection in my absence… and in yours.
I wish I knew all the names and “human” faces of all the people that work at your company… I would imagine you have a seamstress or seamstresses, and people who cut mesh, and warehouse workers, and supervisors, and welders and drivers and accountants and only God knows how many more ANGELS there are at Guardian Pool Fence Systems who deserve the thanks of families like mine around the country… perhaps around the world. If you do not hear these thanks daily, please don’t get discouraged or think you are unappreciated. Those who are most grateful and benefit most from your services are often still unable to talk or express simple phrases of gratitude. They are the world’s littlest angels and because of you, their life goes on.
“from a happy customer”
