Did you check with Reed's Metal Buildings?

I will not use Reed's again, I had a terrible experience with my pole barn about 10 months ago. Horrible communication. The building delivery was delayed for months, kept getting false promises. When it finally was "ready" to ship, they only shipped a portion of it. Waited on roof trusses for weeks after that. They told me they didn't have any trucks with forklifts available but if I had a way to help unload it, they could hire a truck and get it to me faster. (This was supposed to get their erection crew onsite faster). So I took a vacation day from work and borrowed my neighbors tractor, received the roof trusses. Only for the erection crew to never show up, took a day off work for nothing essentially. When the guys finally got onsite to put the building up, they had not shipped the walkthrough door. So I had to go to Lowes to pick one up myself. Once the building was up, they hadn't even located or scheduled a concrete crew. So there was more waiting. When the building was done, I noticed one of the roll up doors had holes in it, looks like it had been shot through with a nail gun or something. Reeds replaced the roll up door with a new one, and even left me the old one to do with how I pleased. So I sold it and made about $900. That was a nice gesture. However the new roll up door they installed was a completely different make and model than the other roll up door right next to it. So now I have mismatched roll up doors facing the street. It's not super noticeable, and they did give me another discount of a few hundred bucks to make up for it. Either way, the whole experience sucked. I will say the crews they sent onsite did a good job on the building and the concrete. It was the communication, management, and logistics from the office that was a complete cluster f*ck. I've been working in construction management for 11 years, would have been fired a long arse time ago if I managed projects like they do.
