OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office is investigating after several Oklahoma City-area homeowners say they paid a fence company thousands of dollars only for no work to be done and their calls to go unanswered.
Several homeowners told News 4 they hired Chris Papasarantou, owner of Oklahoma City-based Ace Fence Company, to build them new fences, only for him to stop returning their calls.
“So he was actually working on my neighbor’s house to build a fence,” Oklahoma City homeowner Trevor Fine said. “And I contacted him to quote me for my fence, and we came to agreement on the price.”
But five months and thousands of dollars later, Fine is still having to make do with his old, patchwork quilt of a fence.

His fence, which he paid to have replaced more than five months ago, is riddled with holes and rotting wood.
Fine hired Oklahoma City-based Ace Fence Company back in August to replace the fence.
He paid owner Chris Papasarantou $3600 as a deposit.
