Lester Building Systems LLC

"I would never recommend Lester bldgs. I was sent a contractor who doesn't know what he's doing, never shows up andhas excuses excuses. Was told it would take 4 weeks and is now 4 months. I was told I would be in my place by Dec and don't even have the walls up or roof up, but they have their money so I'm am screwed, plus Lester bldgs is no help or do not stand behind their product. I just hope someday it will get finished since I've paid for it. Maybe Lester should send me a different builder to finish this project since the contractor assigned to me can't seem to get it together. I have called Lester 3 times with no help at all. I would not ever reccomend. I feel like I've been used horribly with Lester not being responsible."

"I am 68 years old. I sold the business I started, bought 70 acres, had KA Witt Construction build me a house and had Lester build my pole barn. Owning and running a farm has been a life long goal of mine. Both builders have been excellent. My sales rep for Lesters was Jennifer Wight. She was knowledgeable , thorough and extremely patient. She led me without being heavy handed. The build team, led by Brad were incredible. They always had a smile for me and treated me as if I was their most important customer. The whole Lester team was top notch. The project came in on time, on budget and with a happy owner. If I build more pole barns Lester Buildings will be my first call."

"I had the roof replaced on an old pole barn last year, due to excessive leaks. I contacted my sales rep in October 2021 about leaks in the new roof and as of today, I still have 5 separate leaks in my roof, and no one has come to look at it. I still have not received any warranty information from Lester after contacting my sales rep multiple times."

"I have to update my review as we have come to a complete standstill with no action on Lester Building Systems part. As we have gotten involved in verifying the status of our final components we have learned that no delivery or install date has been established. Speaking with the vendor and installer, they have had no communication with Lester Building Systems. Unfortunately we have no fallback option as we have paid for the 40 garage doors and installation. The staff is unable to resolve coordination issues. There is a significant effort to secure the building deposit and then the folks seem to fade away with no responsibility. Caution should be exercised when selecting this firm. We are losing money on the operations side."

"My husband and I bought a mini-farm lot in 2016 and built a house on the front acre. Then this year we decided to construct a pole building. The process of interviewing pole building construction companies was daunting, to say the least. Having no knowledge to begin with as to how they are normally constructed and best practices, etc. we relied heavily on online reviews --- which, can be down-right frightening. Based on a few of the major competitor's reviews, at one point we even thought maybe we should just avoid a pole building and build a giant garage instead. Unfortunately, and understandably, most online reviews will be negative by nature. Most people who feel they have gotten a raw deal will, simply by virtue of human nature, will only speak up when they have a complaint. That being considered, we forged ahead and did as much of our own research as we could while interviewing sales reps from four of the major players in the pole building industry here in SE Wisconsin. We chose Lester mainly because of the sales rep and his awesome efforts to answer each and every question that we came up with, as well as the fact that he treated us with complete respect. He never once made us feel like we were unreasonable or that his potential paycheck was most important to him. He showed genuine concern for our needs. The other major deciding factor as to why we chose Lester was because of their superior roof system, their framing system and post construction as well as the quality of their exterior wall panels. The quality of the building materials and building process were important to us because we wanted our building to be air and water tight! To make a long story short ... the entire staff at Lester were super! Lester's staff exceeded our expectations: Brad (our sales rep), Sandra (our project manager), Bob and Martin (warehouse & delivery), and finally, and most importantly, Luke (and his whole construction crew) - We are so glad that we chose Lester Buildings to construct our pole building --- we thank everyone at Lester Buildings and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a pole building!"
