Basically the building they installed was not at all what I was expecting. The columns and rafters they brought out were rusted and they installed them that way anyways. Most of the columns used for construction were spliced together (they spliced their columns from another job that finished so basically I got someone else's scrap steel installed) When they came out to install the building, they used ropes to lift the columns and rafters up like something out of amish country. To me this was very dangerous for the employees since it could have fallen if one person dropped the rope. Not to mention none of the employees had hard hats on which made me worry since I asked for a copy of the general liability and worker's comp before they started construction and never received one. There are a few spots on the metal that were scratched, but I did not bring up a fuss about it because I just wanted them to be done and gone. I spent around $100,000.00 with Callahan and I feel like I got a $50,000.00 building.

Make sure you hold out on the final payment until it is all dine. Be patienr, we started late spribg but due to rain. Heat, muktiple projects, etc, didn't finish until late July/early August. Their recommended electrician never called us back so we found another one to do the work from your list and will hopefully be totally comolete soon. Like the garage, but took alot longer than we were ked to believe and they were way more friendly when they were couting us than they were towards the end of the job.
Description of Work: built steel garage. Was ok, got permits, we had 2 remind them during "final inspection" that they still had large globs of concrete in front if one of the doors and around the yard area, woukd have been impossible to have driven car into one if the vays. They did clean it up. Workers were intermittent, they do several contracting jobs simultaneously so several days would go by without seeing workers, then they woukd wirk part of a day and then disappear. They brought wring doir handles and contractor promised to bring correct ones in about 3 days, but once he had final check we never heard back and he wouldn't answer phone calls or emails. Then we got an email from their accountantant thar they had erred in estimated dirt cists to level the yard. I finally told them we never got the door handles and they finally got someone to bring them out.
