When I started looking into getting a storage shed, I called Tarheel Buildings. The man I spoke to was very nice and answered all my questions.
Around that time I went to West End Buildings to get an idea of their pricing to compare. I was in a plain house dress and getting prices for a project in a few months. This young fellow, tall with dark hair had his nose stuck in the air from the moment I walked in. He only showed me the brochure of one model roughly 8'x10' metal shed for about $2,200. He didn't try to find out what I wanted it for. What size I might need. What the location was like where I would be putting it. Nothing.
I had to use the facilities, when I came back out, the office lady said he went out to talk to a customer and he'd be back. He never came back after I had waited about 10 minutes or so. I decided to leave. When I left, he was just talking to an older man, not looking through sheds.
A few months later I went to Tarheel Buildings. They were awesome. The lady there took her time. Asked relevant questions, showed me different options. It was a few days before April 1, 2022 and she let me know that a price increase was coming. So I could save money if I bought by the end of March. She walked me through different options and sizes.
I ended up buying a $6,800 12'x16' wooden Smart Shed from them. Yes, I was wearing a plain old house dress when I went there in person too. It didn't matter. I was treated kindly and with respect.
The fellow who delivered, didn't get it set up to my satisfaction and it didn't appear safe or level. I had asked him about turning it a different direction, he said he couldn't do that.
After that I called, spoke to the owner, he and two other fellows came back and got it set up safely and to my satisfaction turning it a different way. read more
