Motto: "Creating Superior, Custom Homes, Beyond Expectations!!!"…read moreRating (A - F): D-, Very Poor Based on my experience with Mr. Lewis, I strongly suggest you consider the following prior to entering into any contract with him...as you should with any contractor. Remember that "Beyond Expectations" - this is Lewis' Corporate motto - is located along a scale which can move both above your expectations (acceptable) and below your expectations (unacceptable). My experience with Lewis Construction turned out very much below expectations. Yet, in this case, Lewis' motto: "Beyond Expectations" was truthfully met. Contrary to Lewis' Internet site description of himself, on my project the President of Lewis Construction, Tim Lewis, handled mostly paperwork and was not on-site physically working with his hands constructing the residence. Almost immediately there were problems, mistakes, contract adherence and quality-of-work issues. One example: I was forced to take over calking the exterior trim and siding, for the entire house, just to assure the job was done to minimum standards. A dispute occurred during construction which resulted in initiation of formal binding arbitration. An expensive, but necessary result of a disagreement about Lewis' quality of work which I was not prepared to ignore. The dispute was eventually settled when Lewis' insurance company, not Lewis, paid for replacement of the work in question. If you hire Lewis to build for you keep a few things in mind: * Ask lots of questions about all the materials, products and methods Lewis will use in your project and get the answers in writing - do this all the way down to the sub-base for concrete and what kind of concrete mix he will use and where, check with other contractors to validate that materials listed are products of the quality you want for your home and are the correct products for the job. Then make sure that information becomes part of your contract with him. * Make sure a contract condition is included so that Lewis must follow manufacturer's installation requirements - this is very important - if you don't follow MFG 's requirements, your product warranty may be immediately void. * Make sure you require all the warranties for all the materials and products to be in your name. Some suppliers give a warranty, but only to the original purchaser, which would be the contractor unless you buy all the materials yourself. You could end up not having that 10-year heating and air conditioning manufacturer's warranty if you did not require, by contract, that it be transferred to you upon completion of the job. * Hold your ground regarding the quality of the work you are willing to accept. It is your home! Remember Lewis' promise of "beyond expectations." * Require a retainage to be held back from each progress payment - see the Washington Department of Labor and Industries web site, Hire Smart, Step-By-Step Model Disclosure Statement, (10 - 15% of the progress payment, 5% an absolute minimum) - this is your insurance that the work will be done properly or the retainage may be used to pay a qualified craftsman to redo the work. * Require progress payment requests from Lewis to be presented to you in $12,000 or lower increments - this is because Lewis' bond is only $12,000 and if you pay more and the work is not to standard, you may end up eating the difference if you file against his bond. * If Lewis still has an arbitration clause in the contract he presents to you, which he may have rethought by now, remember to look at who pays for what - and keep in mind that he can just turn problems over to his insurance and let them pay his legal and settlement expenses like he did in my dispute. You probably don't have that kind of insurance. * If you want, you can demand a standard dispute resolution clause in your contract with Lewis by which disputes are settled in court. Then if something isn't done right you can immediately file against Lewis' contractor's bond ($12,000), yourself (it cost about $250, you can get the forms from Washington State Department of Labor and Industries). It is illegal for a residential construction contractor to work without a bond in Washington State, so this gives you some additional leverage to assure the work is done properly. I suggest you use it. And, always beware of contractors, who you don't know, who want to be your friend for l

Every step added layers of disappointment. I've debated whether to leave this review or not ever since SS finished my 30x40 shop four months ago in April. But every time I go to work on finishing the interior I get so pissed. Just today I was using my laser level to lay out marks for an upcoming mezzanine build. In doing that I discovered the posts, the primary bones of the building are up to 3/4 inch from plumb at 12 feet. Some leaning one way, some another way. Some irregularities I could see as they built and called them out on it. Andy, the project lead actually showed up one day during the 5 week build because I called to complain about the building being racked. When the builders went to sheet the roof the OSB that was hanging long looked like a jagged saw blade. Obviously something wasn't square. Just so you know, Solid Structures doesn't use their own crews for every build. In my case it was a contract builder working for SS and he provided his own inexperienced crew who were left to themselves often. This contractor is still managed by SS supposedly but as I said before I only saw Andy once at my request. Be very aware this company has an extraordinary amount of overhead. Aside from the salesman and builder I spoke with 6 other people who did no actual building. Jim, the owner and engineer drew up the plans. The other 5 peeps did?? The crew that showed here didn't speak English except for the leader of the band. But he was often not here. When he was things went okay but by then a lot of bad stuff had already happened. Several times I pointed stuff out that they wound up redoing but not everything. They would have to start from scratch to fix the problems and the problems compounded with each misguided step they took. They've been " done" for four plus months now. Im glad they're no longer on my property. Standing outside the building you can clearly see the south eve line with a significant belly in it. They tried to cover the crappy build by adjusting the metal facia. Putting a ribbon on a pig. Its still a pig. Standing inside you can see in several places the purlins not parallel. The LVLs over two of the garage door are out of whack somehow. Like I said before the posts are not plumb. I reset one of the windows during construction instead of waiting for them because it was not level or plumb becausethe sill wasn'tlevel and they just plopped the window down on that sill and screwed it down. I plan to put 3/4 plywood on the walls and am not looking forward to how jacked up that's going to be at the corners. Communication with SS was terrible!! The salesman was good of course but after that it sucked. Materials just got delivered one day with no notice. That was about 12 weeks after signing papers. Good thing I happened to be home. That was like January 25th. Bobby, told me not to worry that weather wouldn't hurt the piles of lumber, trusses, laminated posts. B.S.!! I used my own materials to cover it all up. And there it sat for about 5 weeks in rain, snown etc. Then the contract crew shows up. They had l think four ladders, a four foot Harbor freight Pittsburgh level, a few impact drivers, string lines, a circ saw, and their favorite... the nail gun! Those kids may not know building or English but they know how to pull the trigger on a nail gun! In the worse case they used 12 nails at one location nailing to a truss end. Nails!!! I have no doubt the lumber is going to turn to splinters as it dries. I never saw a laser level on site. Only the 4' level. Its been mostly dry in this god forsaken Yakima Valley since the shack got built so I can't speak to how water tight the roof is. I did myself a disservice by watching post frame builders on YouTube. RR buildings, MR post frame. Channels like that. Guys who apparently really care about doing things right. Well, turns out I got something very different than that. My expectations were way off. So now I've got my 75K racked shack that looks best from a distance. Three sides actually look good from the outside. Looking at other SS reviews I see either 1 star or 5 stars. I very much wish this one was 5. Its a daily disappointment this building. Solid Structures or Shitty Shacks? YMMV

After delays on our side and county weather road closures, we finally were able to build our shop. We did this remote (while living North of Austin TX) and working with Brooke on structure details were very easy. After a few tweaks on design and finishes to fit within our budget for this project (and Brooke being very patient with us) we finally started the build in mid-April 2025. We made our first trip out there in late May (first time to see the completed project in person) and we were very pleased. We had met our custom home builder out on property and they were impressed with quality and construction. Reason we went with Solid Structures was due to their patience with our inquiries, and the fact they had a patent on the type of brackets they used - these brackets didn't go unnoticed by our home builder - they were so impressed they planned on reaching out to Solid Structures to get more information for any of their clients looking to build a shop or external garage. We highly recommend their business and our son might reach out when he's ready to build his external garage.
