The building was well built efficiently within three days, and the workers were very nice. However, when we signed the sales contract, we were told that the building could be matched to our house color. However, the final color is a light beige, and our house is light grey with white trim. When we discussed this with the salesman, he said that he didn't match the color since we never brought him any paint samples. We were never told to do this, and I had thought that since they were supposed to inspect our house before installing the building that they would be able to match the paint color themselves. Our contract actually listed the color as and quot;whiteand quot;, so we couldn't really argue with him about matching the gray color, and we thought that maybe the building just needed another coat of paint, that maybe the beige colored hardyboard was still showing through. So, they came back and painted another coat, which didn't help. They then told us that they could match the house color for an additional cost. Needless to say, we are just going to paint it ourselves. So, just be sure that you read the contract with these guys before signing it. Make sure that when they say they'll match the color, that they actually put that in your contract.

Ordered and paid in full for the work on 2/25/2012. Chip said someone would be out to assess the location on Monday, 2/27/2012, and the work would be done on 3/1/2012 and 3/2/2012. No one showed up or called, on 2/27, to say they were not coming. Called office, we agreed to have location manager come on Thurs, 3/1/2012. Roger did come that day. I advised him of the work to be done and showed him the additional items to be taken to the dump. He agreed that it would be no problem. I asked when the work would occure, he had to call his boss, then said the work would be completed the following Thurs. and Fri., 3/8 and 3/9. I asked if that date was to change, please call me to let me know. He agreed. Thursday came, no one showed up, no phone call. We called the office, they said someone would come Saturday, 3/10. The workers did show up on Saturday about 10am. They worked about 1 hr., then wanted to leave because it began raining. I told them I had been waiting for 2 weeks in good weather for the work to be done, so I really wanted them to get it done. They stayed another 3 hours and left, without telling me when they would come back. They did haul away the old shed but left the additional items. They came back and finished erecting the new shed on Monday, 3/12. The shed looks fine and seems to be well built, but they refused to remove the additional items that his company had agreed to remove. My yard was left with wood chips, nails and screws all around the work area. There was paint on the grass and one sprinkler head has been painted over. They left the area very messy. We have more projects to be done in our yard, but we will not be calling Atlas, nor will we recommend them.

The guys from Atlas were very easy to work with. They answered all of our questions before building the Arbor. They did exactly what they said they would do. The Arbor looks great. We are very pleased with the whole process. The price was a little cheaper than any body else we priced for the same work.
