HOUSTON – The northwest Harris County family scammed out of $1,550 for fence repairs received the perfect gift just in time for Christmas.
Last week, KPRC 2 reporter Rilwan Balogun told you about homeowners Robert and Paulla Berry who said they paid Big City Fence Corporation to repair their fence after Hurricane Beryl and then was ghosted shortly after.
The couple said they reached out to the company for weeks to no avail.
Now, a week before Christmas, the family has a new fence provided by a KPRC 2 viewer who heard the family’s story.
The Berry’s said Joey Martinez reached out after seeing KPRC 2′s report and offered to repair their fence for free.

Martinez said he doesn’t want to pass judgment on the previous company but said the actions of one hurt the confidence of the industry.
“I’m not here to judge anybody. I don’t know what the circumstances are or why the contractor didn’t complete the project,” he said. “Like I said, I’m just here to help somebody out.”
