I don't recommend buying a Lester Bldg. at all, I bought one and just weeks ago had to pay an Amish Crew from Graber Bldgs. to come in and fix the mistakes and poor workmanship on it. I dealt mainly with the Lester Regional Manager who provided me with one of their Lester Dealer/Builders from out of state and said he does "Good Work", which was a lie. First I paid Lester Bldgs. extra for roof dripstop on the house portion of my bldg., but was shorted on that and I had to pay someone to fix that area, I also paid Lester extra for 3/4"plywood on all exterior walls but again was shorted, and Lester incorrectly engineered the exterior of my bldg.
It took the Lester Bldgs. Dealer/Builder less than 10 days to build my bldg. and then he left town, before he left I asked him, if I had any problems I just call you back and he said yes, but it would be a $500 minimum. Just weeks after he left town it started raining at which time I noticed I had 25 leaks in my roof, I had puddles all over inside my bldg. so I got up on the roof and found that the Lester Dealer had installed the roof screws missing the purlins and some screws were too short. I ended up fixing the roof leaks myself, it took me 2 days, but I did it myself.
It took me 2 years to finish and move into my Lester Bldg. at which time we started noticing more serious problems, so earlier this year I call in an Amish crew to check out my bldg. who found several problems. Before I paid them to fix these problems, I first called the Lester Regional Manager out for help, this manager was shocked at my bldg. problems, but after he spoke with Lester Buildings Upper Management he said Lester doesn't feel any responsibility for my "Building Issues", so just weeks ago I paid the Amish to come in and fix my Lester Bldg. and the following is what they found: 8 roof purlins not nailed at all, they actually pulled one up and out to show me, which would explain why it sounded like my roof was going to blow off on windy nights. A lot of my soffit only had one staple holding it on and the staples bent trying to go thru the steel only allowing 3/8" to go into the facia boards, which would explain the rattling we were hearing. Gaps/Openings in my roof valleys where wind was blowing in my attic and had blown my attic insulation away in those areas, rain had to be coming too. 2 bird blocks not installed, the ones that were installed were not nailed at all, I personally screwed everyone of them off myself. Facia boards barely on the trusses and nails missing the truss, we had to sister nailers on the sides of some trusses. Facia cover not cut to fit properly causing the ends to dip down an inch.
Before I paid the Amish to fix my Lester Bldg. I first called the Lester Regional Manager out and asked for help, who was shocked at my bldg. problems, but after he spoke with Lester Bldgs. Upper Management he said Lester does not feel any responsibility for my "Building Issues", so I paid the Amish to fix my Lester Building.
After I turned Lester Buildings into the Better Business Bureau they responded back to them by putting most of the blame on their Lester Dealer/Builder, you know, the one that they provided to me and said he did "Good Work". This Lester Dealer/Builders name is C&C Construction, Willis Childress is the owner and he definitely did poor workmanship on my bldg., but Lester Bldgs. is who recommended him to me and Lester is who shorted me on dripstop and 3/4" plywood and incorrectly engineered the exterior of my bldg. but they feel no responsibility for my "Building Issues".
