Laco of concern for quality and professionalism
I am posting this review to document serious concerns with the installation quality of my building and to encourage the company to address these issues promptly.
Unfortunately, the structure appears to have been assembled out of square. The uprights, rafters, and door openings are misaligned, which has caused the roll-up doors to repeatedly bind and become stuck when closing. I have had to continually adjust the doors just to keep them usable, which strongly suggests the framing was not properly squared during installation.which also caused all the roof panels to be out of square and lot lay flat with the next panel causing multiple leaks.
The roof installation is also very concerning. More than 40 screws appear to have been installed in incorrect locations, including on panel angle transitions where a screw with a rubber washer cannot properly seal. This has already resulted in multiple leaks. In addition, most of the screws were driven so tight that the rubber washers are already splitting, which will cause additional leaks over time as the seals continue to fail.
These are basic installation issues that should not occur with a professional metal building installation but that company only seemed to care about quantity over quantity getting one building done so they can move on to the next one as quick as possible cutting every corner they could to finish quickly. Proper roofing practice requires screws to be installed on the flat areas of the panels and tightened only enough to compress the washer without damaging it. Likewise, the frame should be squared before installing doors and roofing components.
Because these problems affect the structural alignment of the building, door operation, and the weather-tightness of the roof, they need to be properly corrected rather than temporarily adjusted. I would appreciate the company reviewing this installation and contacting me to discuss a plan for resolving these issues.
I am hopeful the company will take responsibility for the workmanship and work toward a fair and timely resolution.
