The initial design process was quite easy and Alan’s was very responsive. The bad part is it takes months after your site is prepared to receive your building. The garage doors that come with the building are complete garbage. If I knew I would have ordered it without garage doors and had them installed on my own. Also, the man door doesn’t close well unless you put a shoulder into it

Mr. Burek,

I am so very sorry to hear you were unhappy with the process & purchase. That is truly not the outcome we had hoped for.

In regards to the walk-in door specifically, you should not have issues opening & closing it. with this in mind, I will email you directly to see if you would allow the builder to return to address this for you as we would very much like to make that right.

Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Don’t wait any longer!

The building and ordering process could not be easier. Signing the contract, copies of receipts and copies of engineers plans for permits all provided instantly as soon as my deposit was paid. Note: I have not received my building yet and am not fully prepared for it, this review is for building online and ordering only.

Updates, and response on calls so far.

Alans was shared from a previous company you did work for. Highly recommended the work you did for him. So far, it's been great. Only thing I recommend is to have Financing through you all and you take care of it.

There are probably better options

Let me tell you about their lack of accountability and terrible communication

Every step of this process has been riddled with excuses on why there's delays lack of communication from them when there's been delays and generally their staff has been dismissive ever since I paid my deposit. Oh, and that's conveniently nonrefundable just in case you're wondering why the attitude change.

Before you go forward with these guys, I would highly recommend you taking a look at other options, even if they are a little bit more expensive as if something isn't right they are absolutely not going to do what they need to do to fix it.

Also, they subcontract their work out therefore, you can probably save some money by reaching out to the actual providers who do the work for them.

Evan,

We were truly devastated to learn that your site was not level enough to install a building for you.

While the order was cancelled & deposit refunded fully, we truly hope you can find a storage building that will be workable within your space, even if that is not with our company.

Warmest Regards,
Suzie

So far so good

So far so good! The 3D software to configure, price and ultimately purchase a steel building is excellent. I was not made aware that the actual steel building is supplied and erected by Carolina Carports until after purchase. However, the two companies seem to work quite seamless together. The staff at both companies are good and easy to communicate with.

Missing Panels and would not stand good for them

I ordered a Gable metal roof with 10ft legs, One gable endcap and 1 side panel per side for extra strength. The building showed up and was put up with no side panels. Alans uses a subcompany Carolina Carports for shipmates and installs. When I called to let them know there was no side panels they looked at the order and agreed that it showed the color of the side panels but none was sent. A very rude lady then calls me back and says that there was nothing on the order for side panels. She was rude from the minute I answered the phone. Then a lady from Alans called and let me listen to a recording when I originally called to order and the side panels was not mentioned but had nothing of when I did speak to a gentleman requesting the side panels. This company will never get anymore of my business or any of the business owners in my area. You actually work with 4 or 5 different people from 2 different companies which is not good business at all. STAY CLEAR OF THIS SCAMMER!!!

Answer to Susies reply: I never said I didnt call back... she just conveniently said she didnt have a record of me calling back. I did speak to a gentleman and requested two 3x20ft panel for the upper walls... this is a very dishonest company.

Reply to lying Suzie:
You will say anything and come up with any kind of lie to justify your statements... you can lie all you want but there was a discussion with a gentleman and the panels were on the original order. But when the building showed up and the panels were not shipped your cover up was to say the panels were never on the order.. The panels were requested and paid for but I never received my total package. Of course your gonna say theres no other calls about this order but there was. To all others that are thinking about using this company... save yourself a headache and money and find a more honest company to deal with.

Best regards to you also lying Suzie!!

Terry,

As I mentioned when we spoke earlier today, I do truly wish you had requested side paneling be included with your carport, when you placed your order with us. We would have happily added this feature for you, just as we did with the other features you selected during that call.

Unfortunately, as you heard first hand, when the recording of your call with us was played back for you today, side paneling was never requested by you.

Additionally, as you also confirmed by phone, you never made any later calls to our company to request this feature be added either.

Like we discussed on our call today, we are happy to help you order the additional side paneling, but that is something you declined to do when we spoke. If you have since changed your mind and do wish to purchase the additional side paneling, please let us know and we are more than happy to assist!

In regards to your edit/update - we do not have any male staff members in our company, and I did confirm with our call recordings that you only called one time, which was the day you ordered. As you heard firsthand when the call recording was played for you, you never requested the side paneling be added to your purchase.

Warmest Regards,
Suzie
