They say they will build a pole barn in 5 days. Let me just say I am going on 2 months of defects being repaired because they sub out the work to some incompetent crews. Brian DeMello is a nice enough guy but they have zero project management oversight and they build shoddy pole barns. I will be spending most of my Summer fixing mistakes they made. They didn't bother to plumb the trusses when installed, and all of the purlins are crooked so all of the fastener lines are crooked and look like garbage and they won't fix them. They have replaced about a dozen panels they installed dented at this point, along with other material defects and still aren't done! Run, run, run from Santelli pole barn builders. read more

Contracted and placed a large deposit with Santelli Lumber to build me a Pole Barn. My salesman was Brian DeMillo. Brian delayed multiple times the start date of the Barn after almost one year of delays I decided to write a letter to Art Santelli the owner. I got a reply from Marc Santelli claiming he is the president of the Company. Via email he decided to alter the original contract and made a large price increase and removed all the interior work that was to be done in the Pole barn per the original contract . He would only build my Pole barn if I signed his new revised contract with the large price increase and the original interior work eliminated. That is a Breach of Contract, so I filed A complaint with Better Contractors Bureau. BCB was able to get my deposit returned to me. For any business to do what they did to me speaks volumes of the type of people you are dealing with. Stay clear of this Company they are bad news. read more
