Olympia Steel Buildings Reviews

I got a 30 x 40 metal shop from Olympia Steel Buildings. The building's quality is fine. I was happy with the price. I also like the salesperson. He was courteous and friendly. They could definitely do more detailed work on their plans, though. Trim, especially, was very difficult to figure out. I'm in the building industry, and I put it up myself. If I didn't have a background in reading plans, there's no way someone who doesn't know how to read plans at all could do this. They need to dumb down their plans a little bit for most people in a lot of cases. It's a typical plan. So, it's not specific to your building. And there are a couple of things that had to be changed because of that. Other than that, all the parts were there. I got it done, and it looks good.

I ran across Olympia Steel someplace when I was looking for buildings, and I looked at all the literature that I found, and I never talked to anybody. I still don't have it built. We're just finally getting around to getting the gravel and getting everything ready to pour cement. I've been so busy; I haven't had time to build it. I'm in the center pivot irrigation business. I'm going to use it as a shop building to work on my equipment. My experience has been all good so far. They did what they said they were going to do. They delivered it when they said they were going to. Everything I've seen on that building is top-notch. I unloaded it myself, and I have not seen anything that I didn't like.

I built a building with Olympia six years ago. The most recent building was building the next one because I liked the product. It was good. The first building experience was a little rough. It was delivered late. I'm in Wisconsin, and we did this in the late fall, which rolled into winter. So, building in December, January, or February gets tough, and because it was delivered so late, it was a bit difficult to get the building done.

When I was calling around, I liked Olympia Steel Buildings the best. I liked what they had to offer and what I could do. I bought a metal building with a steel formed beam. It was a good value for the quality I got. It was perfect and I was impressed. I told my son it was a good way to go and it was fairly easy other than the roof to put together. However, it seems like as soon as they got my check, the rep was hard to get ahold of when I had questions. But other than that, he was good. The truck driver during the delivery was really good to work with as well.

If you want the best, you purchase the best. If you're stuck in the old-fashioned like Mueller’s, you’re missing out. When I was doing storage facility, the company that I've used to build some big dealerships couldn't do it and recommended two different companies, one of which was Olympia Steel Buildings. I gave them a shot and started using them. I always deal with Charles, the guy I buy all my Olympia products from, and my experience has been great. The quality of their buildings are next to none, the way they get galvanized purlins and all their main beams are all painted nice. And the structure separates itself from other builders or building companies. I use them for big projects, about 120 x 100, which are storefronts and Cary Services.

I'm having some difficulty finding people to put the building together. When I contacted Olympia to ask if they have local people that are experienced with their product, they weren't very helpful with that. It's still in crates up at the job site. I wish they would've had some better contact information for people in this region that have existing customers who they went to for construction. I've discovered some competitors since then but they might be a little bit more horrible on the price.

UPDATED ON 09/28/2026: Not when your salesperson sends the contract over at 2pm in the afternoon and says we need it back by 4pm in order to get the pricing we offered you. They don't give you adequate time to read the contract thoroughly or to have a lawyer read through it because it is written in lawyer jargon just to make it difficult to understand. It also shouldn't be just in the contract; it should be conveyed by your salesperson. They talked me into being able to construct the building all by myself. Had I known that it was going to cost me 1K to rent a 5K telehandler or that you wouldn't take a credit card on delivery, I would have order from someone else. Especially when I specifically told your salesperson, I went to USAA to get a credit card with enough balance to pay what was due on delivery.

At first, the customer service with Olympia was good. Then, I got shifted over to somebody else, and it was piss-poor. The guy was very rude. Olympia told me one thing, and it didn't pan out. But I've got the building, and I'm just dealing with it.

My experience with Olympia Steel has been all good. They’re also cheaper than other companies.

I like the way Olympia’s built and what they provide. They provide all the plans for you to go right to the zoning office and the building office. I got a 30 x 30 16-foot-on-the-walls steel building. I'm still building it right now. The quality is good, but the instructions are poor. It's like getting an IKEA piece of furniture. So unless you know what you're doing, it's really not for DIY. The cost was great, though. The sales representative was great. The liaison with the shipping was great, too. Nothing was damaged in shipping. I would recommend them. They were great to work with.

I bought a a 30 x 40 garage from Olympia. The quality is not too bad but the directions that came with it were very vague and confusing. It has been very trying. Maybe they're made for people that do this every day of the week, but we don't. My son has erected steel buildings before but not of this style. We know how to read prints but their prints are terrible.

Olympia Steel Buildings was recommended by a business acquaintance and as a contractor, I purchased a steel fabricator machine shop for a customer. The sales rep was very responsive. Olympia treated me right, and the prices were competitive.

I shopped online, and then I spoke to Bart, a salesperson from Olympia Steel Buildings. He was very nice. I'm a general contractor, and I like dealing with people that are pleasant. Bart was very technical, and got back with me right away. The drawings were all done nicely. So, everything was a good experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.
