We have had problems with our roof for some time! Poor installation and leaks causing rotten trusses and wind has tore roof loose. Being a Business owner I know that issues happen, the problem is we have tried to get FBI back to fix the problem for three years! Here I am still waiting! Very poor customer service! I guess when the whole roof blows off we can have insurance build us a shed with a company that cares to stand behind their product! We have to go outside when it rains, you get wet inside!

We were looking at getting a barn put up since our burned down and had contacted them multiple times and sent them our plans. We have not heard back from them since. Not professional at all.

Tried to get estimate to have pole barn built. Took a week to have guy from my county to call me, then said he would have a estimate in email in couple days for me to get the loan and now almost 2 weeks later and nothing. Obviously they don't like business nor wanna have people recommend them. I've dealt with a lot of homeowners being in the electrical field and always recommended them and not anymore after this.

I never leave a Google review but I never meet people like Ernie in recieving. As a OTR truck driver you never no what to expect when you step down from your truck. It's rare to meet a man of his quality and I was treated like we were old friends. I would think any member of management would be proud of how this man represents your company.

Didn't put center post in right for double door. Bent both doors and would not come out and fix. Built a Wick building. Lot better.
