They use their own crews.

Just stating facts and letting it speak for itself. Aren't you an adult? You can make up your own mind whether you want to believe it or not. If you have 0 experience with Lee Mallett then why are you trying to be his PR guy? Last time I checked this was a free country, Freedom of Speech, DUDE.

I am certainly not endorsing Reed's but I think you came out better than I did with Mallett Buildings. The following mistakes were made by Mallett Buildings on my #1 Mallett Building:
1)They gave me a 1 hour notice on delivery after delaying it for weeks.
2)The framer missed the elevation by 10" to high, which is gonna cost thousands in extra dirt for my house pad.
3)One of the walk in doors was delaminating so they suggested that I get some glue and a clamp to repair it. They finally complied when I demanded a new door.
4)Delayed construction for days waiting on screws.
5)Owner Lee Mallett chewed me out over the phone because I called him about the chain wall they promised to pour to form up to correct the elevation mistake. Also took them a week to figure out how much fill sand was needed and I had to scramble to get extra loads because they still missed on their calculation.
6)Mallett Buildings concrete finisher, Larry Louis and his crew used Georgia buggies to pour my slab which created thin areas. Core samples revealed several spots 2 1/2" thick for a 4"slab. Concrete supplier Lefarge put potash in the concrete which delayed the curing for over 12 hours. The finish surface of the slab was garbage. Had to demo a portion of the slab and repour at my own expense.
7)Mallett Buildings gutter crew replaced the gutters 4 times and they are still not correct. Paint peeling off to date. Was given a can of spray paint by the gutter crew to touch them up for future paint peeling off.
8)Recent Ida damage revealed my #1 Mallett Building was put together with nails instead of screws.
This is a what I am still dealing with Mallett Building's owner Lee Mallett. Like I noted, not endorsing Reed's, but I think you came out better than I did.

Just curious if you learned anymore information on building comparisons. Did you check with Reed's Metal Buildings? I haven't dealt with them personally but they have been in this area for a long time. Anything is got to be better than Mallett Buildings.

Thanks color is not an issue. Where can I find this Sika. Nevermind, I researched it and I like what I see.

Could anyone advise on what is the best type of cement/grout to use to patch small areas, voids on a concrete slab. I need something that will adhere to old and newly poured slabs.

I think Kwon should play special teams or retire, just my opinion.

You may be on thin ice if you choose Mallett Buildings. I purchased a building from them in 2020 and it was a cluster from the beginning. The framer missed the elevation 10" to high, core samples on 4" slab they poured revealed thin spots at 2 1/2", replaced the gutters 4 times that are still not correct, and recent Ida damage revealed building was put together with nails instead of screws. Need more evidence just ask.

I am not familiar with Carolina Carports, but I am with Mallett Buildings. First thing I would do is check the parish permit requirements for wind rating and etc. Through my experience I would pour a 4" 4000 PSI slab, with fiber, with a rebar reinforced footing with keyway for expansion.
I had to repour my slab at my own expense after Mallett poured it. The surface finish was absolutely terrible. Core samples revealed that spots were only 2 1/2" thick, and had honeycomb around the edges. Ida damage revealed that the wing of my #1 Mallett Building was put together with nails instead of screws.
I wouldn't recommend Mallett to build you a dog house. I would fear for your dogs safety!!!

I had core samples done on my slab and in several spots it was barely 2 1/2" thick. Lee Mallett declared that to be within industry standards of a 4" slab. It also had honeycomb on the edges that was 1 1/2" thick and once again Lee Mallett declared that was ok, it could be patched.
