Golden state steel buildings was the right choice for me, and the customer service I received was top notch from delivery to completion. No issues with the building department, drawings and details are very clear. The buildings are very attractive and don’t look like a typical metal building From the distance.

Golden State Steel Buildings was recommended to me by a contractor working on our home. Robert was professional, patient (that’s a big one) and truly cared about building a great working relationship. This was my first experience with designing a steel building and my family needed this to serve several functions. We are thoroughly pleased with not only the collaborative process but the overall quality and craftsmanship. Robert didn’t just sell me a product; he was involved in every step of the process from design, function around design, troubleshooting, additional permitting and plan requirements outside of the scope of the actual building, locating contractors, vendors, installers (etc), inspecting the delivery, checking in on construction and following up after completion to ensure the building has met our needs and goals. The affordability and versatility of these buildings are great. When we buy another lot we will not hesitate to work with Robert again.

I planned this building out to every last detail and Robert made sure it was what I wanted. I built this myself with the help of a few friends and weekend work took us about 8 months. A professional crew could have knocked it out in a couple of weeks, I’m sure.

 It’s 40 x 50 and has a mezzanine about 1/3 of the length of the building in the middle section at the back, so I have upstairs storage and nothing is stored in the garage of my house.
