Olympia Steel Buildings Reviews

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.

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.

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 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.

The front end of the process including dealing with Steve, the guy that sold me the building, was wonderful. He went out and sourced my doors for me. The doors cost almost as much as the building does. The building was $35,000 and the doors were $20,000. When it came to delivery, Olympia Steel sucks. I ordered the building and signed the contract in November 2020 before the price increases happened. They were supposed to be out here in April of last year. I had a shoulder surgery, so I told them they could push it off. They took liberty with it and didn't deliver the building until October.

The rep, Steve, was easy to work with. We ordered on December 1st of 2020, and he got right on it. I got the materials in September last year. Our experience has been good so far except for the garage doors. Right now, I'm waiting for some motors. They sent me phase three motors out instead of phase ones, and now I've been waiting a month to even get any response. Steve’s working on it, but the door company’s dragging their feet. But it’s a nice building and I like it.

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Shorted panels, screws and assembly washers. Attachment pieces were misdrilled. The inventory upon arrival was not completed within their 30 day window (our Huge mistake) so they say it’s NOT THEIR PROBLEM. My question is WHAT HAPPENED TO INTEGRITY FROM A BUSINESS that has clearly dropped the ball. Called 3 times to discuss and no one answered the phone, left message every time. NO REPLY. ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING ELSE FROM THEM OR THEIR AFFILIATES. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE.

I'm building a home shop and their price was better than any that I had checked. I haven’t completely unpacked everything yet, but it seems to be very high quality.

We pursued a 30x78 and got a good price on it. I had a guy look at it, and it’s supposed to be one of the best. We did two windows in the front, and we did an extra door.

I had a good experience with Olympia. The only thing I didn't like was that they misrepresented how long it would take to get the building. It took much longer than they indicated. But the product, the completeness and the plans, everything about it was excellent. It was handled very well and professionally. Their rep did a good job.

The drawings were a little bit hard to put together because when you go to do the roof, you’d have to flip back to the wall page to see how the wall landed and there was a lot of that. So the drawings could be a little bit more easier to read. But other than that, the building itself was great, and the service was great. I've had a friend of mine purchased a building through them, and I got another buddy that’s gonna buy one next month from them as well. The out-of-state service really worked for me. The price was great, and the guy I had, Patrick was very patient with me. We went back and forth discussing a lot. I did contact some others, but they didn’t wanna meet the demands that I was wanting.

My experience with Olympia Steel Buildings has been awesome. I love them. They're great. They fit all my requirements for what I need in a joint venture partner to do steel buildings and cleanroom environments under my patent. The projects I use them for are clean room, hermetically sealed glow rooms for the cannabis and food industry. The cost is very fair. They're reasonably-priced and they understand the value of using Agritech with the USPTO patent. They're bending over backwards for their clients, so far. My sales rep, Kristen, is awesome. She's very easy to work with, accommodating, very prompt and very knowledgeable. She gets everything done.

With Olympia, things have been fantastic. I had originally contracted with another company several years ago and they completely failed to deliver all. But I was able to get a garage from Olympia as about the same size and price. They have a better setup on their website and it was easier to plan the structure out and break it out. Also, the representative I worked with was responsive. I could email him or call him and he would get right back to me if he wasn’t available. I explained to him what I was trying to do and he was super helpful in just making sure that I had everything I needed. Then, everything was delivered in perfect condition. The blueprint and everything were easy to read and understand and execute. Also, the quality was excellent.

For my workshop, I've gone to Olympia for their pricing and quality. However, the plans could’ve been a little more clearly written. Other than that, I talked to engineering and they helped me through some of my questions. The sales reps have been very good as well.

So far, no complaints with Olympia. It was good with the sales rep and we got to agree on the price which was in the lowest range.
