“Updated Review”

Bill T.
2/1/21

As a pastor i look for businesses such as this one who post a testimony of their relationship with the Lord. In dealing with the issue of the install now being estimated well past their 120 day goal I hit some snags in dealing with the company. However Alan himself expressed that his desire was to make things right and that is exactly what he did. A person's character shines true when the situation becomes difficult and in this case Alan showed his genuine concern for his customers.

“Feeling scammed!”

David F.
4/3/24

When I ordered my carport on-line I selected the color CLAY for my sides. At the time I made my selection selection CLAY was a fairly dark, reddish color. By the time Alan's arrived to install my carport, at least 4 months later the color of my sides were very different from what I'd ordered. As of now the color listed as CLAY on their website has changed to a light tan & the color I'd ordered is no longer available. I had ordered a sandstone roof and on my installed carport I can't tell the difference between the color of the sides and the roof. On-line when I designed my carport the CLAY was darker & redder & set off the sandstone roof nicely. Now the carport appears to be entirely the same color and looks dull and kind of ugly. Also, my garage doors were not installed correctly and need to be corrected as they can't be latched. Also they latch from the outside, which seems kind of dumb and adds the need for a padlock to secure them. The actual installation of the metal building was well done though. Overall my experience with Alan's Factory Outlet was not a good one. I wouldn't deal with this company in the future. I was never informed of the color changes or contacted to see how my installation had gone and I feel cheated.

I thought they were great. Great product - great price - superb customer service. They made everything really perfect. The only thing that would have been better is better instructions on assembly.

I cannot give Alansfactoryoutlet positive feed back as they are dealers for Carolina Carports who after 4 months from my original order, I still do NOT have a completed garage installed. Very POOR customer Service.

Heaven forbid any thing goes wrong! Good luck getting ahold of anyone by phone. Nothing wrong with merchandise, Coustomer service leaves much to be desired.

Received shed sooner than expected. Team assembled unit in less than a day. Great quality product. Have had many compliments from neighbors. Color combination allows unit to blend in well with surrounding area. Base floor plan (12x21) gives plenty of storage space and interior dimensions allowed a combination of 3 & 4 foot shelving (18" depth, 6' height) to cover two walls (one 12' and one 21') from corner to corner. No wasted space. Window placement was centered over one of the 4' shelving units that was half the height (3'). Couldn't have designed it better. Nine foot ceiling allows a very open feeling when working inside. Roll-up door is the best feature. Light weight, but solid feel. Easy to open and close. Dual locking on roll-up door is a plus. Vertical roof is highly recommended. Can't wait to see how it handles 6-12" of snow. Siding on other 3 sides hang about 2-3" below concrete slab so when it rains, very little moisture gets inside. Nice touch and looks very professional. Do recommend you place a water-tight gasket between slab and metal base frame to keep interior perfectly dry. Only one con and it's very minor. Wish screens on windows could be opened.

So far so good, easy to purchase, lets see how it go's from here!
I had no idea when I ordered the carport that it would take over 2 months to get it.

Absolutely a great experience from order to installation. Super fast and the workers that constructed our garage were great. The garage itself is of great quality and I am very happy with it.

The carport is well made and sturdy. The installers were very professional and did a great job. Only down side is the time frame it takes from placing the order to when we received our order.

My carport look great and is very sturdy. It adds more value to my home than I paid for it. I'm looking forward to many years of service. I recommend one for everyone that needs one.

This is the only way to design your own building. Use the online tool, make it yours and watch it get delivered and installed exactly as you designed it.

During the process there was confusion on total cost as added "hurricane feature" was necessary. The delivery was much longer than originally anticipated. The product though met my approval.

I was pleased with the service and impressed with the short time of installation! My 24' X 30' carport was installed in one afternoon and one morning. The three guys were finished before 10:00 AM.

Only complaint is I paid for 8 mobile home anchors and 4 of them they used was drive in type and not screw in. I guess they were out on the truck and used what they had.

Web site was easy to use. Loved the 3D builder. The delivery time was over 60 days but once they arrived they had the building up in a day! We love the look of the building and the quality!

Everything was pretty good except for the installers using my neighbors pavers to level it. I would prefer to know the people installing it in the future.
