I ordered the building in January 2020 and paid the required down payment. The building was engineered and I paid the required payment n March 2020. I asked for a delivery date in Montana of July 9th, 2020. I was told somewhere near the end of June that the delivery date was moved to July 16th, 2020. Another week later I was told that the delivery date was moved to July 22nd, 2020. Everything on the inventory sheets were found on my physical inventory except the windows (8) and one entry door. I understood that they were to be delivered on a separate truck but I was never told that they would be arriving on a different date. After several calls, I finally found out that the shipment was coming out of Houston on August 11th but I still did not know when they were to arrive in Montana. In short, I still don't have my building erected due to trying to reschedule my subcontractors several times in rural Montana. I understand that the virus caused many of these problems but prompt communication could have limited some of them.

Complete lack of usable information until the delivery date was set. almost six months from ordering and paying a deposit until the ship date. Could not give a date on any window of probable delivery of the plans, so I could deliver them to an engineering firm for county specific drawings. My building contractor almost gave up it took so long. Everything came in a sudden rush which left me scrambling to coordinate all the different aspects. Ordered on December 30 2019, as of today August 19 2020, the skeleton of the building is complete, siding going on. The erectors have been at it three weeks. Great quality building, some pieces missing, took about ten days to get them. I don't think any other building outfit is any better, having friends that have bought steel buildings.

We wish we had known we needed a different type of foundation before we had ordered this as we already had a stick built foundation set up. As of yet it hasn't been erected. We are trying to sell it but haven't been successful with that either. If you know anyone that can use this 30' x 50' steel garage with 3 doors, they can get a heck of a deal.

Saw an Ad online for Armstrong Buildings. I have been looking for a 40' x 60' steel barn to be built at my home. I have contacted other companies and have gotten quotes and so I thought why not try them and get a quote as well. I filled out my information on the online site expecting to get my quote, when all of a sudden it told me I would be contacted by a salesrep for my quote. (First red flag). Finally a day later I was contracted by Troy. Man he was so hip and so cool on the phone. It sounded like he was sitting on the beach with a mai tai in his hand. Then all of a sudden he had to let me go because he was getting another call. (Second red flag) What kind of salesman lets you go when they are trying to sell you something? He calls back about an hour later to let me know he has the deal of a lifetime for me. He has a building sitting on their lot that is the EXACT dimensions I am asking for and wait...just wait... It has all premium siding and trim with a 50 yr warranty and all the bells and whistles. This building typically sells for 45K but he has spoken to his supervisor and they are willing to sell it to me for 26K. WHAT!!!!! I am gonna save so much money on the materials only. Yeah that's right 26K and that is not even installed. That is for just the materials. Also that is not even delivered. I have quotes for 30K installed from other companies. I am like that is a lot of money for not being installed and then I get the whole run down of how Armstrong Steel is better steel than other companies that get their steel from China or India or wherever!. Well I tell Troy that he will need to talk to my husband because I can't make a 26K decision without him and I give Troy my husbands #. I knew my husband would see through these sales tactics just as I did. Troy calls my husband and gives him the whole rundown and then my husband said he would think about it. Next thing you know Troy's supervisor is calling like everyday. Finally I told my husband just answer and put him on speaker phone as I want to hear what they have to say. Hubby puts the supervisor on blast and low and behold they were able to drop the price to 24K and we needed to give them a deposit TODAY to lock in that price. They are barely making any money on this building. Their engineers make $200 an hour and this will barely cover the cost for the engineers. (3rd red flag). Also they don't accept credit cards for the deposit (Final red flag). What reputable company doesn't accept credit cards? I know the kind that doesn't want you to refute charges when they don't deliver...that is what kind of company. Well obviously we decided not to buy their building, even though Sam Elliott is the company spokesperson, I just felt that this company is way too much energy on the front end and will fail on the back end. I am not spending 24K on a building that is not even going to be delivered or installed. My advice is go somewhere else. Don't get scammed.

the framework was simple to put up and looking at the plans showed me i could erect the building myself
