This is a long review, I hope you find it helpful.
I contacted a few contractors about a pole building, and after discussing with each, Parker seemed to be the best fit. My building was partially on retaining walls due to the lay of the land and part "standard" pole building.
Also, it was designed to have bay deeper than the rest of the building because I wanted one bay deeper than rest of the building, because of a large tree (roots) I could not make the entire building the full depth of the deeper bay.
Jonathan came out, had a look at what was existing, and said they could work up a bid. We discussed what I had designed in depth, I had the roof designed differently than what I ended up going with. I let him know up front that they were the pros, and I wanted the best quality for the cost. Hence, the change in the roof design.
The crew that showed up were top notch craftsmen, they worked hard in the high heat we have experienced this summer in Oregon. They,left a clean site each night, with leftover material stacked neatly out of the way. When they were done, the slab was put in. I had a contractor I had hired myself (a friend that is a contractor in the concrete industry) for the walls, and was going to use him for the slab. Things didn't work out quite right for grading, etc., and Parker recommended a guy they use. I called him and he came out for the slab. Just like the Parker workers, he was hard working, professional, very skilled at his trade and showed up when he said he would be there. In retrospect, I wish I had just given the thing to Parker from the beginning.
Living in a rural area, everyone around me has pole buildings of some type, they have all been quite impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this pole building.
I have been in the construction trades for much of my working life (I am 64) and have done foundations, slabs, framing and electrical. This entire project was top notch craftsmanship, the people were professional, cordial, friendly and easy to work with.
Sorry to ramble, but it has been some time since I have been this impressed with a contractor on any and all of the points listed above, plus a few things I forgot to say. Look no further than Parker for your next project. read more
