Olympia Steel Buildings Reviews

My salesman was Mark and he was very good. I worked with him the whole time, from the onset of the purchase date to the thing and he worked with me on planning stuff, and I had a real good experience. I've tried to recommend Olympia to other people too. Matter of fact, one of my neighbors put one building just as they got mine up. I've told everybody about it, and a lot of people have been impressed with it. They like it. It's sitting out here on our family farm. It was pretty smooth as far as the transition. They even assisted with locating the contractor through erection. So, it worked out pretty good.

I've been in the market for a metal building for a long time and I was about to pull the trigger on another company that offered a turnkey concrete, just because I knew of them. It's a tube steel building and I was against one. I wanted a rigid metal frame. But in talking with that company, they said it was really not that bad. Then, I went to their website and looked at their reviews. I saw somebody call them out on not having any reviews on their website, then about two weeks later, there were five reviews, but the people that posted the reviews had the same icon.

When I reached out to Olympia Steel Buildings, the sales guy was very knowledgeable about the product and explained everything, the differences between their product and some of the other products. Olympia was able to meet my timeline. They were easy to work with. I had to negotiate the price a little bit. There was supposed to have been a price increase, and I didn't meet that deadline. So I called them and asked for help on that, and they did. So, that was enough right there for me to go with them.

Olympia Steel Buildings came up on several internet searches. There are a lot of steel building manufacturers in our area, but Olympia has some prevalence in a couple areas that are close to where we're geographically located. I was able to see a couple of those buildings just in passing and it seemed like they had the quality that we wanted to go with.

We already bought from Olympia Steel Buildings, and I kept talking to the salesman. I want to make a barndominium out of it. It's been sitting on two trailers for three months. But overall, Olympia is all right. They're knowledgeable.

I purchased a garage building from Olympia Steel Buildings, and it has been several months. I’ve had a lot of difficulty finding someone to put it up, although a third-party contractor is supposed to come at the end of the month. My experience with Olympia has been average overall.

Sales process was seemingly smooth but there was a bit of bait and switch in the end product. I worked with sales to design a 60 by 40 main building A with a 16 by 40 lean-to attached building B down one side and an 8-foot by 40 ft awning down the other. We agreed on price that included gutters. When I got the contract, it was for 52 foot by 40. After some back and forth, a new contract was sent with the corrected size. What wasn’t pointed out and I didn’t catch was that the gutters were gone and the 8-foot awning was now just roof panels without any other structural supports. The engineering plan for the building design was sent. It was pages and pages of blueprints. I signed off after asking if my building B and awning were included in the plan, as the blueprints were not easy to read. I was assured that they were in the design. The building was delivered 3 months after when sales said it would be delivered.

I would not purchase from Olympia ever again. We were shipped parts that were not for our building. We were really understanding and still excited for the new building. After working with the customer service manager to get the project moving with the correct parts it turned into a nightmare. He lied, blamed us for their mistake, the actually yelled at me on the phone when I was calm and just asking questions about how to resolve. It resulted in us spending thousands of dollars of In unbudgeted dollars to get the building up.

This company resolved all our issues.

Olympia Steel Buildings was very helpful in working with me. The project involved the design and construction of a 60x40 metal building for equipment storage and workshop at our facility in North Ridgeville, OH.

“I appreciated all the assistance that I received from Olympia Steel Buildings”. Wesley and Arthur are very professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a building.

I like the way the building is put it together and how the joints are reinforced. It has a strong aluminum instead of red steel. It was also a good choice for me to get it insulated.

I was doing an online search and Olympia Steel popped up. I inquired about it and then I received an email and a phone call saying somebody ordered a building close to what I was looking for and if I'd be interested in taking over the order. The purchasing experience was somewhat easier than when there was a modification that needed to be done. It was extremely difficult and the customer service was difficult to deal with.

Olympia Steel is a little bit cheaper compared to other companies and they seem to have a better product. However, now that I have it, I'm not satisfied very much with it because they described it as fully hot galvanized, and we have beams that are already starting to rust because they were just painted, not hot dip galvanized like I was told. The pieces are made out of galvanized steel. Certain parts are, but the main, I-beam structure is not, which was the whole point of why I bought it. Also, our concrete guy was upset because they didn't give any information on what they wanted for the foundation structure to ensure the building would stand. It was a guessing game on what they wanted for that. But the sales rep was all right. He answered all the questions I had and I had a good experience dealing with them.

Their customer service seemed real friendly and helpful. Also, it didn't seem like they were trying to take advantage of me where a lot of other companies did. The one I got was 30 wide x 50 long, 14-foot sidewalls. The whole experience was great. Olympia called and told me that I was scheduled for delivery a couple of few weeks out. It was a good heads-up. Then when we got a little closer, the truck driver called me and said, “Hey, I'm gonna be seeing you at this time probably tomorrow. Is that okay?” He was an excellent guy. He was really friendly and nice. It was easy to unload. I rented a telehandler to unload it, so it was easy. We just picked it up and set it down and that was it. The building seems like it's super strong and gonna be incredible. I got most of the frames on right now.

I purchased a building off of Olympia, and they installed it. It was hard to converse with the team because they were foreigners and didn't speak much English. The foreman on the job could hardly speak English. Other than that, the building went up excellently, and the quality is very good. They were 75% better than the first time I built a building with another company. I had one small problem with Olympia though. We had a rainstorm, and about two days later, the building started to leak. One of the screws they put in the roof broke off, and the water started coming through the hole. I called their owner who installed the building, and he came right over and fixed it. Now, everything is fine.

I like Olympia's quick response time and overall price. I got a metal steel building for a personal shop, and my finished product ended up as good as what they had quoted and promised. They also met their timelines and delivery dates that they promised. I was very satisfied.

I shopped around and Olympia was a little less expensive than others. I got a storage building for trucks and we had some serious problems with the supplier. He sent trusses that were at the wrong pitch and he fought me like the dickens, telling me I didn't know how to measure pitch and whatnot. I got a lot of pushback and they made me take down the other rafter, put one on top of the other, take a picture of it from above, and send it. That part was a little trying but eventually, they sent the right one up. When they had the one with the right pitch, it went all together beautifully. All in all, the building is good and it's working.

Nothing happened based on what Olympia Steel Buildings told me was gonna happen. So, I was disappointed in that. Me and my wife drove over to Pittsburgh and toured the plant where these buildings were coming from, and the way they described how they were being shipped didn't happen at all. I had some bent pieces that I wound up having to just deal with as opposed to going through the process of trying to get more parts. The whole door thing from Wayne Dalton wasn't as expected. Nobody seems to know anything about the ADA requirements in this day and age. I reached out to customer service, and she emailed me something from somebody that said, "No, all the doors are the same."

I went with a 90x120 steel barn and the material is easy to install. I've had the building for two years and so far, everything's holding up very well.

The Olympia Steel rep I worked with was very kind and responsive. I could tell that he wanted me to have a good experience working with him. He was very knowledgeable about the sales side of things. He had an understanding of the needs of customers. I got a full steel building that is 40x50 feet. They were great to order from and it was an easy building to put up myself. I would definitely suggest them to anyone who is looking to get a building they can put up themselves.

We used Olympia for our cabin lakehouse. The process was very difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating. We had foundation development issues with the person who was supposed to put in the foundation and with the Olympia product, I was told we could hold it at the warehouse. But then our foundation fell through and they decided they had to deliver immediately. Olympia's reps were very helpful. But there was a little bit of disconnect in the conversation between the salespeople and the manufacturing on how long we could wait to pull the trigger on having the product produced to be shipped out. There was one gentleman who was great working with me and understood we were not pulling the trigger yet on having it manufactured, then something happened and it went to someone else, and all of a sudden they said we had to have it right away.

My father-in-law bought some buildings from Olympia and recommended them because he had a good experience. They were the best price he could find for the quality. Charles was my rep. Every time I had questions or concerns, I'd reach out to him and he helped me out every step of the way. He was very good at his job and knew what he was doing. He was easy to talk to. He always got right to the point and always made me feel comfortable with my decision going with them.

The price of the building from Olympia Steel is cheaper. Kristen helped tremendously. She was very knowledgeable and was able to ask several questions through text message without having to call and really interrupt my day. So, it went really well.

The quality of the steel building was good. It was per the specification and it all went together pretty well. They had the lowest bidding and competitive process. We did the project for three months from start to finish. But that was not because they couldn't do it quicker, it was just a project thing. They were always on top of it. Any time we called them, we got them. Our salesperson was right on top of everything.

The sales rep knew his product and informed me of some things I didn’t know about. I got a 3,000-square-foot building for storage. It's a shop while I work on my 18-wheeler and then, I store off-road vehicles and tools inside of it. I’m happy with it. Neighbors have been coming over and they're interested in going with Olympia also. Everything arrived when they said it would and everything was there. There are detailed instructions if I would have put the building up myself. It was a great experience. Olympia is a little pricier than the other buildings that I looked at but I own a business so the cost at times doesn't matter to me if I'm getting the best product because I'm gonna write it off of my taxes.

I received a quote from Olympia Steel Buildings within a few days instead of a few weeks. It was a quick response and the sales reps were knowledgeable. Overall, from designing to putting up the 16 warehouses, it took a few months versus other companies who gave me double the time. The actual building has been completed and hopefully, next week, we'll have TCO. We completed with all metal. I didn't know that Olympia has their own crew who sets up the building so, I had to hire a third-party company. They said that they also worked with Olympia before and it's a great product. So, I was satisfied. The people who set it up didn't have any questions and everything was straightforward. We were not short on any bolts, nuts, or any pieces. Everything was there. We also ordered insulation through Olympia. Everything was delivered on time and it was a great experience. We’ll go with Olympia again on the next project.

The cost is a little high. But the rep was responsive.

The sales and manufacturing were very very informative and always got back to you. The building structure was well designed and installation drawings were very well detailed. The client and building officials was very impressive the completed structure. The installation of the structure does take a little more time to complete but the outcome is very impressive.

I purchased an 80Wx100Lx22H building from Olympia Steel in 2020 during the pandemic. Even with the manufacturer struggles that seemed to be inevitable at the time, the company did a great job of getting me everything that I needed. Shawn ** did a great job designing the building with everything that I had requested. Yes, there was delays due to Covid as far as the delivery date went but like I said, at the time that was inevitable. I had a contractor lined up to put the building up but due to the delays, we were not able to work it out. So long story short, my employees and I built it ourselves. Blueprints were very descriptive and easy to understand. Quality of material was great. Everything from the paint to the screws. No complaints on my end. Definitely would and have recommended this company to others.

I got to know Olympia Steel's salesman well, and he was honest. I worked with him, and if there was a shortage on products when Olympia Steel got the buildings there, when we got to the end, they just sent them down. A good company gives good service. It's what I expect. Also, the quality of the building is very good compared to some of the other ones that I looked at, and the price was similar.

Olympia Steel was horrible. They told me it wouldn't be delivered in six months but that I had to pay X amount down so I could hold that price ‘cause steel was about to go up. I paid that amount down. Then they came back two weeks later and told me if I didn't pay the rest and take the delivery of the bill, I would lose my deposit. Everybody was extremely rude after they made me take the bill. My building sat outside for a year because it wasn't ready to be erected and I couldn't get the representative who referred me to an erector that took 17,000 from me.

Absolutely stay away from this company, they are as shady as it gets. What is especially bad about them is their "head" salesman Steve. We bought a building from them last year, they re-used some of the structural steel from a project that the previous customer had backed out on and lost their deposit or so they say (if you notice this happens a lot with them, those are probably their smartest customers to get out).

Working with their rep was very good. I was very happy with the way everything went with them. When I had a 40 by 100 steel building built, they had a factory fire and it was a rough time for them. But they came through and they did everything they said they were gonna do.

Steven has been super helpful. It's been really easy with him. But the delivery was a little bit of a debacle. They showed up a day early and thank God, I was there. But it ended up working out okay. They reimbursed me for having to pay for last-minute help when I wasn't prepared until the next day.

I went with a 7,500-square-foot rectangular building. The rep was willing to do quote, after quote after quote. Over that period of time, we did 11 quotes because things changed as I was going through the process. I needed a 20-foot-add-on to onto a rear corner of the building and he was able to do that. He accommodated every time and worked with me with three different companies that could provide the wall texture that I needed.

I've got three of Olympia's buildings now - one's a warehouse, one's a freezer, and one's a cooler. I am happy. For one of the buildings, they forgot to send the end cap but they sent it to me next day. They did great.

I was scheduled to do a carport style and put the extra ribs. The guy I was talking to in lining up to get it done quit answering his phone. I got on the internet and saw Olympia. I called and a dude by the name of Kevin answered the phone. He hooked me up, and we went to town with it. I'm glad I decided not to go with the carport style because this is so much better. It cost a little bit more with the way I had to set it up with the concrete. The insulation and reinstallation that belongs to that building are pre-cut. Kevin hooked me up with a dude that Olympia got and helped put these buildings together. It would have taken me a year to put it together but this guy had it up in a week’s time. The building was sitting there before my concrete was done. But everything worked together good.

I got a 100-foot long by 60-foot wide with three garage bays and steel with an installation package with Olympia Steel Buildings. They were very cooperative. The installation package wasn’t ready, but they got ahold of the installation people, which I was supposed to. They helped cover the situation. They made a call for me and got the installation package because it was separate from their building. All the bolts were there. There were no missing parts. It took them two weeks to put it up. They still came through and on time. I gave them a check but something happened to the check and we had to issue another one two months later. Other than that, everything went about as smooth as could be.

I had some frustrations with Olympia Steel on the outset because the delay in the building arrival was so much further than what the salesman had originally projected. But when it was all said and done and we had talked to a couple other steel building manufacturers, it was the condition of the market and the nation in regards to the steel as a whole. It was unavoidable. Everything else was flawless. Those guys got their act together and gave us the reality check early on in the game. They didn’t lead us along which I appreciated. Once they gave us the revised date which was 24 weeks further, they hit it. I was impressed. We’re using the building and the quality is fantastic. They did a good job on putting together the plan. They were detailed so that the average Joe can follow the plans and instructions and put together the building well.
