So fence company is supposed to get started on a new wooden fence at the house next week. I signed the contract over a month ago. They were back logged and that's why the delay.
Well today he emails me and says that due to mills shutting down and a low supply of materials that the cost is going to increase by $2 per foot.
Now part of me wants to tell him to go pound sand and that I signed a contract for $24 per foot.l and that's what it should be done. Hell at $26 I probably don't choose him for the job. But at the same time I don't wanna a crappy fence job because he's pissed off at me.
Is it typical for a companies to do this and should I be fighting this? For the record I do believe him because I've had issue finding wood for other projects around the house I just don't think it's fair.
