plywood left exposed on exterior of building

Read the reviews that real customers have left in multiple places! The only good part of our experience was the sales side. They listened to what we wanted and quoted us on what we asked for, which is more than what the other companies we contacted did. Once we got the construction date it was all down hill from there. We are currently 15 WEEKS into construction and they have still not completed the lengthy punch list. There is zero communication unless we call multiple times. They do not show up when scheduled. The construction on our building was sub par, and their 'standard building practices" like leaving plywood exposed on the exterior of the building, leave much to be desired. Read others reviews, there are so many I wish I would have paid more attention to others experiences before going with them!

Broken flooring

BUYER BEWARE STAY AWAY FROM Delmarva Pole Buildings! This is one of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with. I first contacted them in May 2019, left messages and texts, took days upon days to get a response from my salesman Buddy. It took until August and for us to drive there and review a contract. We had an appointment which Buddy was late because he wrote the time down wrong and went to lunch. Then trying to make decisions on the options we had Buddy started rushing through because he had somewhere to be. It then took until December 2019 and they said we were getting a delivery...they dropped off ALL the building materials in my front yard! Flooring got broken right off the truck. They finally came out to start.....after it rained all night and was still raining. Decided it was a good idea to drill holes and put up 24ft posts. They kicked mud into the holes to hold the posts and didn't even bother bracing them. So of course they started falling! We then find running water in 2 of the holes, tried to contact them, when John, the contractor, and Leroy, the construction manager, finally came out they decided that putting stone in the hole would be sufficient. I did my own research and found out that they hit the sewer line and my main line! So my entire yard got dug up to repair the lines. It took until February 2020 to finally start. Needless to say all the material was in my front yard all this time being damaged by the weather. We wanted concrete poured for footers and they wanted to charge us $6 a bag when I found it at Home Depot for $3.64, we had to go and meet with James, Buddy and Leroy to hash this problem out. The building got erected and when it was time for the floor the next problem arose. We made if perfectly clear to Buddy, and was written in the contract to NOT drive the concrete truck on the driveway. Buddy stated "they'll figure it out", no mention of additional charges for a buggy....don't forget Buddy had to leave and rushed through. So, the broke the driveway in 3 spots!!! We went back and forth with James to figure out how to deal with this until James stopped answering and returning our calls. Now into November 2020 we finally talk to Jason, reviewed all that had happened. Of course the week of Thanksgiving so he said he'd look into things and get back in touch after the holiday. Well I gave up trying to contact them, then I get an email a couple days ago...10 months later...that we still owe them $5433.80 but they're willing to settle at $3000 and be done. Just to be done with them, even with a cracked driveway, I sent them a check and cut our losses to not have to ever deal with them again. So to wrap it up STAY FAR AWAY FROM DELMARVA POLE BUILDINGS and please share to everyone you know. The only bright spot from the whole ordeal was Paul and his crew, they did a great job on the garage.

This is the way they left my building. I had to pay them $1695.00 to come fix this!

They converted our garage into a studio. Now it's my favorite space. The natural light and insulation work were top notch.

Delmarva doesn't just do the job they build relationships. Every day on site, they greeted us warmly. Small gesture, big impact.

Horrible! Unorganized. No communication between the departments. People do not have knowledge of building. Would NOT recommend.

Eric the owner came to my house and gave me an estimate. His "secretary" then emailed the contract…read more I signed it and sent it back. I heard nothing back. I left text/email/voice messages with not a word back. At that point I started to get other estimates. Eight days later his secretary text/called me back. I explained that I had been waiting to hear back and by that point started to look elsewhere. She said that for whatever reason she had not received any of my messages (which I didn't believe). Against my better judgement we schedules an appointment for a week later. I felt that if I cannot get anyone to come or respond to me what would happen if there was a problem with the work? The day of the appointment I text to confirm, heard nothing. Called twice, heard nothing. Ninety minutes after the scheduled appointment I received a text from Eric saying he was on his way. I was super annoyed and told him that his lack of respect for his customers was very frustrating. He claimed that he didn't know of the appointment and said that he doesn't answer his phone and to contact his secretary. I explained that I was trying to get a hold of him for over a week. He got annoyed that I told him I had given up and started to look elsewhere. He then text me and said that he wouldn't do work for me. So unless you're willing to be treated like you're home/job is last on his list of importance look elsewhere for a contractor. Eric said he would rather blow me off again than get a bad review because of the situation his company had created. Eric said he would give my name out to any contractors he knew to black ball me from having any home improvements done. This has been a very frustrating situation and if you want to feel like your home and money are worth anything find someone else. Apex has wasted weeks of my time. After I told Eric not to contact me back he continued to text me, harassing me. Do yourself a favor, find someone who cares about your home. If I could I would give him no stars I would

The contractor caused damage to property, furniture and the HVAC system (which was less than five years old at the time). The workers operated a saw indoors in January while the HVAC system was running and left the doors open which caused the HVAC to constantly be running. This caused damage which led to the HVAC system having to be replaced. There were also numerous deficiencies in the construction work, including Improper installation of siding, including damage of the sheathing The flooring was damaged and has visible gaps and scratches The walls were not properly prepped before painting The windows were not installed in the proper locations Interior doors and closet doors do not close properly Additional damage to furniture and property It was agreed the work would not continue.

This is one of the only businesses that I felt was not trying to scam us out of more money. If I had a question about anything, they would respond immediately. The work itself was done professionally and efficiently. We had a lot of side projects that needed to be done in one big project, which included drywall repair, entire floor replacement, the entire kitchen had to be redone, and other things. I highly recommend. It's nice to have businesses around that care about their clients and their work. Attached a before and after photo of the kitchen.
