![]() Sunset builds a great shed! The crazy wind storm we had last winter ripped my old tin shed to shreds. I wholeheartedly recommend Sunset to anyone. Kay informed me of the situation upfront, so I am not in any way disappointed with her or Sunset. There are issues, industry wide, with availability of materials and labor which caused the delay. It did take a little longer to get started than I would have liked, but it would have been the same with any builder. The only problems were things that were out of Kay's control. A skilled and efficient crew of four women started with a bare concrete slab at noon on Monday and by noon on Friday, the building inspector had signed off on the garage. No missed nails, out of square openings, or other problems. The framing crew was very fast and did quality work. Not a big deal to me, but might be to others. I think it might be helpful if Sunset were able to offer a "turn key" package for their customers. Just be advised that the concrete is a separate bill and not part of Sunset's price and you will have to work with them as a contractor. They did excellent work and I will be hiring them for additional concrete work in the future. The concrete work is done by a separate contractor which you will need to hire separately from Sunset. I was particularly happy with the storage loft trusses and 10 foot ceilings. laid out the options and helped me get the most features possible within my budget. Kay was amazing and made navigating the whole process easy. ![]() I recently had a large garage built by Sunset. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the design of the building came out well and if it is ever done I will be happy with it behind my home. I am still waiting for 1) windows, 2) the shed to me placed in the appropriate spot, 3) the structure to be painted. Finally, to add insult the installer placed the shed too close to my fence so now the door does not open all the way. This not only damaged my trees, it also scratched the walls of the shed. I showed the installer the way to get the materials to the back yard and instead he went through a very small area with large pine trees and a travel trailer and dropped them off the side of a retaining wall. Install was a completely unprofessional job. I know this because I still do not have the windows. I was told the windows were not 'in yet', in truth they were never ordered. Time came and went and as the day approached I was frantically called three different times to reschedule. I was told after giving my deposit check that it would be a month until the structure could be installed. I should have walked away when I initially went to spec out the shed and one of the employees completely berated a younger gentlemen who was working with another customer right in front of me. The list of problems is long but I can narrow them down to sloppy attention to detail, laissez-faire attitude (not really giving an S) and failure to follow up to complete the job. I designed a custom shed for my yard nearly 3 months ago and it is still not complete. I want to support the local business over the big box store when it makes sense. If you would like to see crappie work, contact me. He added water to the mix, which created shrinkage cracks. Gary was short about two yards of concrete, so he scraped concrete from the rest of the floor to sort of full in the hole, this resulted in the waves in the floor. One wall has a place that extends past the building siding about a quarter of an inch. The floor is not flat, a two foot square bench requires almost an inch of shims to keep in from rocking, there are numerous places simular to that. ![]() Kay recommends 'Gary's Concrete" which I would not have set a fence post. The wall studs have crowns, the are placed so the crowns are opposite of each other which results in wavy walls. One corner is 'recessed' and needs about a quarter inch shim to install the dry wall semi- flat. The garage door was "offset" and required the installer to come out three times to get parts to have it to close OK. The door didn't latched so I had to shim it to latch. door's" top corner extended past the top off the jamb about 3/4 of an inch, when complained Kay said it was not an inspection item, so not corrected. I'd rate them a two except a couple of the corners are sort of square!.
