Olympia Steel Buildings Reviews

I wrote Olympia a check and they brought me the product for a business use. The quality is fine and I like their price. All is well. I’ve recommended them to folks before.

I did a lot of online research, and the salesman from Olympia that I talked to seemed very nice. He helped me get things when I needed it. I called him up, and he seemed like he took a personal interest in my ordering from the planning all the way to delivery. He was very thorough. I pursued the steel storage units with Olympia. The cost and quality are very good. We had a delay, and Olympia didn’t really waste a lot of time. The rep got his boss involved and they got to the bottom of it to get our metal to us when we needed it. I’d tell my friends to definitely purchase from them. We’re actually in the process now of purchasing another piece of land so we can order another building from them.

Olympia's reps are fantastic. We're still doing a 40 x 60 building with Olympia. The cost is a little much, and some of the stuff's not threading on right. Also, the truck driver was terrible. He couldn't back up the trailer. It's hilarious. But the building was delivered in one load. It wasn't that bad. Olympia should maybe hire a crew. It's a lot of work.

The quality of steel from Olympia is great, but their customer service is lacking. They don’t call people back. The first time I called, there was supposed to be an insulation. I called back to get it. And then, when we got our shipment, we didn’t know the insulation came at a different shipment. Nobody even told us that. It’d be nice to know that instead of calling and spending two days on the phone. Other than that, it's a great building.

I started working for a company that built their buildings with Olympia for about 13 years ago. And I’ve been in contact and worked on and off with them for the last 14 years. They’re good buildings. We actually built buildings and we built several different kinds, but theirs is right up there with the top-three that we enjoyed building. Their reps have also been very cordial, very professional and good to work with. When I’ve reached out to them or needed to call them they’ve always got right back to me. It’s been good working with them.

I purchased a storage building from Olympia and dealing with their sales reps was very good, easy and quick. Everything was on time and right when it was supposed to be scheduled. Also, the cost looks good in relation with its quality. I haven’t had a chance to put the building up but once I get my building permit, I'll be ready to go.

I looked online and saw Olympia Steel Buildings' ad and those of other different places. I called Olympia and talked to Stewart. He was very helpful and though Olympia's billing was a bit more expensive than the other provider, because of Stewart being so helpful, I chose to go with Olympia. While we haven't erected our building yet, the quality of work has been excellent thus far.

I needed a wide span for a club that we use for a recreational building. Olympia Buildings had a good price and I went with them. The cost was a little high but it was accessible. For the most part, their reps were fine. However, we ran into a small problem, and when I had a small problem, I heard crickets. They were nowhere to be found. No engineers. No salespeople. We solved the problem on our own but I was a little bit disappointed. Still, their buildings are of really high quality which I like.

Olympia Steel Buildings is the best. I’m a builder and an erector and their customer service makes them the best. The customer service is top-notch. I bought a bunch of buildings off of them. We put those buildings up for churches and horse races. I put them up in Texas, Indiana and all over the place. The overall quality is very good. That was a story. We put up roof braces for the fire, and we put up several braces in a couple of years. And Olympia is a good business to deal with. You’re gonna get something messed up on them every now and then but they're really good about getting stuff back out to you and making it right. The way the rack goes together, there's a lot of forethought engineering into it. It’s a good product.

Olympia's communication and straightforwardness were the biggest things why I went with them. They do what they say they were going to do, and they do it on time. My biggest complaint with other companies is getting people on the phone. It's very uncomforting. So, what Olympia does is they respond. They return phone calls and they answer the phone. Then they do some things with their product that you don't have to ask for, too. You get more top-of-the-line type accessories with the building. With other companies, you have to pay extra for those, and if you don't ask for it, you don't get it. I'm a contractor and I've pursued building projects with them that are like straight wall buildings like we've used for airplane hangars and warehouses -- anything from small garages to large warehousing and manufacturing facilities. The quality of their steel is as good or better than any other companies out there. The cost is excellent, too.

I went online and shopped around. There were only a few in the services I needed, and Olympia had the best price and were professional. I called and asked for a price quote, and Mike, the rep, gave me the details I needed. It was on point, and he was good.

I was doing a lot of research online and Olympia seemed to have the best quality product. They were also willing to work with me on different things. I ended up doing a did a 30x50x16 steel building with Olympia. I got a 14x14 door and two 10x10s and went with the four-inch insulation. Purchasing through Olympia was easy-going. We didn’t have to play much phone tag. They always answered the phone and were able to send me to the different departments if I had questions on different things.

Olympia gave me the price that I needed but the sales representative was very much a used car salesman. He gave me numbers and changed them. He gave me colors and changed them as well. In fact, the building isn't the color he told me it was gonna be. Luckily, I like it. It’s dark green with light trim. But it was supposed to be Sahara tan with a chocolate trim. It’s gonna be a workshop barn type of thing and at first, it seemed like a good building but the plans were a little more confusing. I was really confused and my builder was confused as well. But we eventually got it up and I appreciate it, like the thing that went into the seam. I found that’s to help keep it watertight. We had our first rain and it kept all the water out. So that was good news. The quality of the steel seems good so far. If friends and family ask me about Olympia, they are welcome to come look at the building. I would them it’s great and that it should work.

Olympia gave me a good deal on a build of a two-car garage and the cost was fair. I dealt with so many different salespeople and everybody was good to me. Olympia did me good and I'm satisfied with their service.

I decided to work with Olympia Steel based on their price, but I am not impressed with them. I was promised dates when I was gonna receive the building. I had contractors working but no steel showing up. It sucks as far as getting it. I thought they were extremely busy. They are behind the schedule and we are four weeks past what they said. We were supposed to get insulation for the ceiling, the roof, and we never did get the insulation. They ended up crediting me the money. Even so, I would not go with them again.

I just got 55 acres in West Virginia and I’m building a fabrication warehouse. I run a company that does big commercial fabric buildings. Sometimes we have custom pieces that go into these buildings. For instance, in the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium, they have these fabric funnels that funnel all the water into their drainage system. I make those custom funnels and similar pieces for the building that they can’t make in the Malaysian warehouse.

I’m happy with Olympia Steel. They're one of the companies I called out of a dozen, and I decided on them considering their price. They were fantastic to work with and seemed to be of good quality. My experience with them has been perfect.

Olympia has a really good product. The design and the materials are really good. And everything was galvanized. You look at the building, compare it to some of the others around in this area, which looks puny compared to what we got. The sales guy who sold me the building was great. He pushed me over. I would call him and he would get me in contact with the people I need to talk to. Because I was so anxious to get my building up, I kept buzzing him. He tried all he could, but he was limited to what he could do.

We got Olympia Steel for a steel building project. Everything was good with their sales rep. It was delivered two weeks ago, but we haven't put it up yet.

Olympia Steel Buildings was willing to conform to the city's procurement rules. They weren’t the cheapest but they were the easiest. We have certain procedures that the state of Arizona requires us to follow. The industry is collect on delivery and we're not allowed to do that. We are building for business and this is the first one I’ve done with them. We haven’t constructed it yet but I've looked at everything because we had to check. It was there and everything appears to be in excellent working order and good quality. Laura, the rep, was very helpful and the shippers were excellent. I would recommend Olympia.

I had a good experience with Olympia Steel. On one of my trips to Ohio, I drove to Pennsylvania to Olympia Steel, and had a face-to-face with the vice president of the company and my rep. It was a pleasant meeting. She gave me a little extra because I worked with them on it and they worked with me. The rep worked with me on the building I'm putting up in Ohio. She constantly called me on it. She was very polite and very helpful. I unloaded the steel two weeks ago. We haven't been able to erect it yet because of the fact that they've had so much rain that I put everything behind and I didn't get the concrete worked on yet. But from what I unloaded, everything looked good.

I wanted a building for farm equipment storage and when I was looking online for different people that had buildings for sale, I ended up with Olympia. They have what I wanted and they understood what I wanted. They were also very courteous. This is the first time I’ve worked with any kind of building. I tried two others and one of them never called me back and the other was too expensive. Olympia's saleslady was very helpful. I liked her. When I called her for a question, she would answer it. Plus, she returned my calls. However, the truck driver from the trucking outfit they chose could not speak any English. He didn’t know anything. He didn’t know I was supposed to give him a check and I almost kept it. Plus, he knew nothing about the paperwork. But we had a wonderful time trying to unload the truck. I’m still working on getting the foundation put in, but from what I could see, the building looked fine.

I had a US Steel building that I did once before and it was nominally less for the Olympia. I have Olympia to work on a 25x30 shop building. It seems to be good quality steel. But the only issue I have at this point is the quality of their prints and directions. Their prints are a lot harder to deal with than any of the others I've ever done. It makes this a tough project. Other than that, the sales and the delivery departments seem to do what they said they were gonna do. I never had any issues with them.

I bought a 40 x 60 building with 18-foot walls from Olympia Steel Buildings. The sales reps answered the questions that I was asking. It’s just that when you got a question that you thought of at 4:00, the boys would not be there any more so you gotta wait till the next day. I own my own business and I’m a fireman at the same time, so every day I got something to do. So, it’s kinda hard for me to remember to call people. Other than the time difference, getting a hold of them was good.

Olympia had a sale on a building and I got a rectangle gable with a simple building, a rectangle, 90 x 50. Everything was good with the sale but they need to improve their communication after the sale. The salesperson went off the radar and I had to reach out 30 times. As a matter of fact, I thought that I might have been scammed. I was wondering if I just wasted my money. But the building is on the ground at my house now. It took about five months to get the building to me. Olympia also tries to hold you to a certain timeframe. But I reached out and told them I haven't built it. I'm planning on putting it up here in the next month or two. The question is if it would go together well. If things go wrong there and I'm missing something and they don’t help me out, I'll be pretty upset. But I sell buildings and equipment. I know how it works. You need people to inventory them.

We bought a piece of property and my husband wanted a metal building to put all his equipment and trailer into. And then his friend told him that we'd better get it this year because it would be more expensive next year. We had no idea who to go to to buy a steel building, but Olympia Steel Buildings was rated highly online. Their rep was great and very efficient. We ordered the building May of last year and it took 11 months to be delivered. My husband jumped the gun on ordering the building and it was originally supposed to be delivered last August, and there was no way in this world that we would’ve even been close to being ready for it. So, we were grateful that they were late. We’re just now getting started on our project. So, the building is basically a bundle sitting on the property. We closed it up in a tarp and waiting for all the permits and everything to go through.

I liked the way Olympia's buildings looked. And I settled on one that's 30 feet wide, 40 feet deep, and 12 feet walls. The quality of the building is really good. I'm happy with it. I shopped around, and I felt like this was a good deal. The salesman told me that him and two other people put up a building this size in a weekend. After about a month, I said, "Wrong answer, pal." Their blueprints aren't very clear. And the materials in the framework aren't marked very well. For example, the back wall, I built it, stood it up, took it down, rebuilt it, stood it up, took it down, and then rebuilt it and stood it up because the directions that the pieces needed to go aren't marked. It doesn't tell you what side of the girth needs to be facing the outside of the building or what needs to be facing up or down.

I was online looking for possible external storage units. And I came across a request for quote and I filled one out, and Olympia Steel Buildings responded. I sent out multiple requests and they were one of the first responders. I purchased an outdoor storage facility steel building. And the cost was appropriate. Their sales representative was impressive and responsive. Charles was the main guy that I dealt with, but the others have been very helpful, too.

I got Olympia to do a residential shed, and everything was great on their end, but I'm having a problem with the bank.

Olympia was the best priced for the amount of squarage for the shed. They were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions, and they were very quick to reply. I got my building and everything is fine.

Inquired about a 30x40 building. Received a call the next day saying they have a building that just got out of production and the previous buyer decided not to buy it. Pulls of the "It's only 30x38, it's similar to what you want but you can get it now" Ben, who I was speaking to that said he was only the truck driver, said the info he has is the building cost $19780 originally, then total payoff amount is $14950 because the previous owner decided to back out, then proceed to tell me it's actually $13500 delivered. I asked for him to send me an email of everything, he said he can't. I told him I will think about it, and proceed to force me into buying the building for a couple of minutes. Buyer beware.

Olympia was a great opportunity to get me a building at a good price, and get it shipped down here and put together. I just now opened my shop. There was some issues on some of the assembly. I had to call them back several times just to try to understand the diagrams and the drawings. I've got an Engineering degree but I and even my contractor that was assembling the building had a little trouble figuring out where these braces went. But the building went together really nicely. And it's a good looking building. I get a lot of compliments on it.

I was looking for a steel building and I got a quote from Olympia and from others. And I chose to purchase from them an out building for a residential property in the back. The quality of the steel Olympia has looks good. But I haven’t gotten it up yet. I’m still working on the foundation. I dealt with a phone representative from Olympia and I got a bunch of quotes on buildings that I was looking at. They had an I-beam building, then, they had channel steel building. And I thought I was working with an I-beam building, and I ended up purchasing a C-channel steel building. Not by my choice, but by their choice. I thought I was dealing with an I-beam instead of a C-channel beam.

Olympia's rep, Pat, was the only one who responded to me. I put a bunch of feelers out there about six months prior to Pat getting a hold of me. I guess I was just a small DIY guy. Nobody wanted to bother with me. And he happened to call me, gave me some prices, and called me back to tell me they got some special deals. He was very upfront with me and very clear. If I had questions, he answered them. I’m fairly convinced he even answered his phone on some of his time off and personal time. So, he made sure that I was comfortable with the purchase.

I wanted to modify the inside of the building for the church. I searched and when I talked to the Olympia salesperson, he convinced me that they were the right one. He was very knowledgeable about what he was talking about and he knew exactly what I was trying to do. It was very easy to contact them and the cost was excellent. I would recommend them.

I went to Olympia for my garage and storage. The sales rep was knowledgeable about it and seemed very nice.

The companies are all the same and use the same steel but I’m more focused on the relationship that I’ve built with people. I liked the communication with the sales rep from Olympia Steel. He was always willing to take care of whatever I got going on and we communicated all the time. We called and sent text and emails.

I got a quote from Olympia Steel Buildings for a steel garage and then a few weeks after that, I got a call and they had a good deal on that day. They saved me the order and then I cancelled the order. I wasn't ready to buy it yet but the salesman kinda pressured me into buying it. He wasn't really letting me off the phone so I ended up just doing it. The product has good quality and I'm happy with it. Just the customer service wasn't very great. I had a hard time getting answers off things. Also, the delivery of my building was a huge change because I didn't get an answer on when it was gonna be delivered. I ended up having to take a day off and rent an expensive machine. They also didn't tell me that I had to unload it myself. There wasn't much information given on that part so it made it a lot tougher than it had to be.

A friend of mine had used Olympia and I decided to go with them when we building a a 36 x 36 metal building. I'm pretty happy with their building. The trim was pretty cheap stuff, but the rest of the building materials were pretty good. Communication wasn't the best. Their staff that we worked with wasn't always responsive or returned phone calls in a timely manner. But we got through it.

Olympia is a bigger company, and they've been building buildings for a while. I got a good price when we bought the building and decided to do a little maintenance so I got a better deal because of it. I'd gone on the website, looked at a building and asked for quote information and they called me on a weekend and asked me what I was looking at and the initial part didn’t take too long. Then they handed the salesperson and after we did the initial down and signing of paperwork, they handed me off to a delivery supervisor. They coordinated and made sure you have all the colors you want to have from the roof and the siding and all the parts. And then there's a delivery person after that that schedules the delivery that called to set up the time.

Olympia Steel had a delivery date set but it wasn’t flexible at all. I was leaving for Spain the same day. So, I had to have people come in and unload it, and they had to deliver it on that day. They could not bring it the day before or the next week or postpone it. It had to be that day. But the engineer and the salesperson were good. The building right now is still sitting on the ground. I'm waiting for it to be installed. But so far, I would recommend Olympia Steel.

I was looking at different companies on the internet and trying to get the best price. Olympia's the only steel building. I’ve been doing commercial all the time but mostly wood framing. And this would be the third time I’ve dealt with Olympia. I had an okay experience. We use Olympia for a church, a commercial warehouse space, and an electrical company. So far, the quality of the buildings is good. After I started dealing with Olympia, I found out I could have gotten some better deals from a price standpoint. The other thing was they had a lot of things that they don't talk you through on. So, when you get to building, you're missing stuff because they're trying to upsell you. And I didn't like that about them.

Someone that had one of Olympia Steel's buildings recommended them to me. I pursued a 50 X 80 building project, which was for living and business. The building's quality is good, and the cost was reasonable. The rep that I originally purchased the building through was very good about contacting pre-sale. I was disappointed in the contact after the sale though. Prior to the sale, they called all the time, and sent greeting cards. But after the sale, it was very difficult to get answers from them. I had a couple of unreturned calls and I was unable to get a date on delivery. It took four months on the delivery for my building, and I was very disappointed with that. It was difficult to get a timeframe from them. For some reason, my timeframe got set way off and I never understood why. Overall, I wasn't happy with the process, but I was comfortable with it.

I had Olympia work on a 140x60 building, which was fairly priced. The sales rep was very knowledgeable and was able to meet my needs pretty quickly. He answered my questions quickly. They held the building and were able to meet my needs. I was very comfortable with the whole process. They have personable service with reasonable prices. The building is really nice and it has good quality.

I've used Olympia for automated steel building and the cost was fair. They were pretty straightforward and did everything they said they would. Everything matched up and we were good. The sales rep was a typical one and pushy. Once I got drawing, it was a lot more detailed than what the sales rep's knowledge was. Overall, Olympia has done great for me.

Olympia Steel stole $7,500 and has cost us many thousands more because of their business practices. I highly recommend finding another company. Their contract is so they can take your money and there is no guarantee you will get anything for it. We needed a building so we could empty our home and get it on the market. The new building was to become our new home and storage. We had a timeline but gave them DOUBLE the cushion to get it done. If they had processed our order instead of just taking our money, perhaps this review wouldn't exist. But they took our money and likes to say that we "changed" our floor plan causing them to have delays. We ordered Friday and increased the size on Monday. So their "claims" are totally wrong and they are just trying to find excuses.

Customer service is horrible! Only in it for the money! I read in another review where the customer was told of extra charges only AFTER the contract was signed. I had similar experience. I talked to Don about what I wanted in my building and was then trying to negotiate the price. He agreed to everything I asked for and then got back to me with a cheaper price. He DID NOT tell me that the price EXCLUDED some of the major things I needed most. I signed the contract without reading (totally my fault) because I trusted that the new price included everything Don and I had talked about earlier. When my building arrived it was a day late and at night which meant I had to rent a forklift for 2 days instead of 1 to unload.

So far I’ve ordered 20/30 steel building from Paul and any issues I’ve encountered he has been able to walk me through. It has not been seamless but nonetheless I’m looking forward to starting pre-construction on property zoning & permits and such! Paul has extended himself by phone and delivered.

Talked with Paul. Gave huge deposit. Was told then all I needed was a concrete slab. Was told only after I signed contract that I needed to rent equipment to unload steel building. I was told anything with forks. Was told to sign a DocuSign contract that gives delivery date time frame. Blueprints were not sealed. Just a concrete slab turned out to be an engineer to seal the foundation from the blueprints. Initial estimate for the foundation was $4150 after modifications were made with additional re-bar paneling etc that an engineer would have to seal the total cost was $6400. Using a Bobcat with forks as suggested after researching top heaviness was a danger to myself and unloading the building I had to rent an industrial telehandler that would be able to safely support the load 6,000 lbs. All the fast-talking-slide-away-from-the-actual-facts presentation got old real quick and made me question their integrity and care for their customer.

First things first. Never told me that I had to rent a forklift to unload the building myself. Second they didn't send the trim with shipment. Expect you to rent a forklift again to unload. So that another $500 to rent again. So now that's $1000 to unload your building.

Like service room a place to work, eat, sleep, store car stuff. Excellent quality craftsmanship to be respected. Buildings stand up to all weather, all conditions. Services all people can trust. Services that above the bar of customer service. Customer service you can trust. Recommend to all people the services can be trusted. 100 percent reliability that can be trusted. The reliability above all buildings. Strong strong steel you can trust layouts rooms. Trust value of each building. Value of a dollar per square foot you will love. The best buildings per square foot imaginable above all rest.

They came when expected and workers were very courteous and polite and did a wonderful on my building. They offered a great value and very timely service. They were very reliable. They showed up when expected and did a great job. Great quality work at a very good price. I would highly recommend them as a great valued company and would for sure use them again the in the future.

The experience was informative and enlightening. The work was done as scheduled and to expectations or above. Good quality product and excellent overall customer satisfaction. Installation and useful suggestions as to add ons and or other specifics were very valuable in the purchase process and throughout cold start usage of the brand. The product was definitely worth its weight as far as reliability goes. It could not have proven to be more. Withstanding all conditions and showing no wear and tear. With normal continuous usage I should well recover costs by far. The value was an immediate flag for purchase and should save money with other product protection.

Very courteous and make sure every customer is their number one priority. Quality second. Amazing responses and speedy. They want you satisfied. They have efficient services available to meet the needs of any consumers or businesses alike. Great range of services satisfies my needs. Never had a issues or a bad review about the company. Their products are the most reliable available on the market. Can't ask for better. They are the better. For the price they charge every consumer is getting the best value. They are the lowest cost with the highest quality products. Love them. Will always be number one.

Friendly employees and they answer all my questions promptly. If you ask them something that they aren't sure about, they will find out from someone who does and get back to you in a reasonable time. Very easy to do business with. They built my structure as promised and on time. The workmanship and material was more than adequate. Nothing exceptional, but everything was functional. The materials and workmanship was as advertised and promised. Everything was explained upfront so that there are no surprises at the end. The work was done promptly and efficiently. The price is a little higher than the competitors, but you get what you pay for. They never try to nickel and dime you or try and increase the price once the project starts.

These people will NOT listen to you about their buildings. If they offered them for $1, we wouldn't buy another one, knowing what we now know... RUN!!!

They had a very friendly staff especially the customer service. You could tell they were smiling while talking to you. They were very polite and never even rushed the convo. They had so many services to choose from. They guided me through every step and gave me the pros and cons of each choice before I made it. They and their products are very reliable. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends, family members, or colleagues. They definitely stand the test of time. Great value. You definitely get what you pay for and then some. It is hard to imagine this good of product quality for this low, low price. I was so shocked.

I am a licensed metal building contractor, with 18 years of experience. I want to share with you my experience with Olympia Steel/Universal Steel. My first building with Olympia came, was great! Right on time. Like Olympia said, with all building materials accounted for and in good condition. Josh was more than helpful. The second building from Olympia was a disaster!! The delivery was over 24 hrs late. The shipping manager had no idea where the delivery truck was located or how to contact him. Brian from shipping promised me a refund for the extra day of forklift rental. I have never heard back from him.

Purchased a building from Olympia, they had it delivered as promised. They also helped with recommending an experienced contractor who was great. There were issues with some of the structural components that extended to create the eaves. These did not fit. It was very fortunate that I had a very competent contractor as he had to modify the steel extensions. This cost additional time and therefore cost me additional money for the install. Not the end of the world as it did turn out and the building looks great.
