DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!!! We ordered a car port, we were told if we installed it ourselves it would void the warranty, which we were fine with. When I said that was perfectly fine to send the new contract they took days to respond and when they did they changed it to they won't deliver it and we can't do a rent to own option like originally agreed upon if we install ourselves. So I asked for a refund. And they now REFUSE to issue my almost * ***** deposit because they want to make the extra ** on the installation that was supposed to be "free" to begin with.Garage Buildings Response

I apologize about the miss communication between the customer and our representative. The customer was originally having the building installed by our authorized install crew and purchasing the building utilizing our rent to own program. When the scheduler called the customer they discovered the customer did not have the required work area clearance for the crew to properly install the building. At that time, the customer decided they wanted to self install the building. The customer can self install the building; however, the bank who finances the rent to own buildings, will not cover a self install building. The only way to do a rent to own is with a authorized crew install.The customers can still get the building delivered and not installed but they would have to pay the COD amount at the time of delivery. They also have the option to change the location of the building allowing for the correct work area clearance and then the crew can deliver and install and the customer can move forward with the rent to own. During a recent conversation our rep had with the customer they were stating they were going to move the building and our rep was waiting for the new delivery address. Here is the text message transcript:
***** ********· 11:13 AM
Whats RTO? And I was going to have them install it but we don't have 3 feet of clearance all around so in their email they said they won't do it if they don't have the clearance

Rent to own
How many feet do you have ?
***** ********· 11:21 AM
Like a foot maybe, I have a back neighbor and a side neighbor, I measured it to have it almost against their fences.
If they won't deliver it or do a rent to own I will have to cancel the order and get the $***0 deposit back.

I always leave on the quote that there must be 4' clearance, if you check on the quote; you have that information there
Are you able to go smaller on the unit ?
***** ********* 11:24 AM
No I can't go smaller my truck and car won't fit if we do.
VM
vanessa ****** 11:30 AM
Is it a small or mid - size car and what kind of truck do you have ?
***** ********* 11:31 AM
Mid and a **** long bed.
My husband wants us to cancel the contract and get our deposit back. We can install it but we need a rent to own. I can find a different company

Lisa, I added that information on the quote so refunding the deposit is not an option. It's on the quote
let me see what solution I can get
***** ********* *1:35 AM
It is. I read it. It said cancelation before the unit is delivered results in a refund. And I appreciate your help.

Take a look at this picture. It's a 22x28 with a mid size compact SUV and an Estate car. I was checking with my superiors and they say you have enough space if you 22x28
***** ********* 11:57 AM
There is absolutely no where in the SIGNED RTO forms that says we aren't able to receive our deposit back. They just have clauses for missed payments they have a right to remove the unit so on so forth. I was told by you it would be delivered when I called the other day and that it just wouldn't have a warranty. I was not told it wouldn't have a rent to own option and that they wouldn't deliver it.
VM

You signed two forms: the roder and RTO order. Right here it says
***** ********* 12:09 PM
I read over the RTO and signed that one. Even in my emails I don't have a signed anything other then the RTO. Which doesn't say anything about a non refundable deposit ma'am. I want the unit but if you guys can't honor what I was told then I want my money back and I want my order canceled please. I want to install it myself and void my warranty which I understand and and am fine with. But now I'm told I can't have it delivered and I can't have a rent to own?

vanessa ****** 12:11 PM
Lisa, you did sign. You click on "click here to sign" and signed. I can forward that email to you if that's the case. I'm giving you solutions but my installers won't do it with 1', they don't even have space. We need a support do RTO and that's the installation of the unit
Here is the prove
***** ********* 12:15 PM
What if I change the address and have it put on my property. Would THAT be acceptable for you guys.
VM
vanessa ****** 12:16 PM
Will you have 3'of clearance ? and what's the zip code
(719) 334-4920· 12:16 PM
I checked my email multiple times I don't see anything signed other then the RTO. I am just frustrated that I am told 1 thing and now I am being told something different. That is not not we agreed on or talked about. And I called and asked you questions before I signed.
VM
vanessa ****** 12:16 PM
Lisa, It was always on the quote and on the order. That's an E-sign and I apologize if you don't remember, I can send you the prove that you sign it
I'm here to help and get you solutions. But it's not possible to refund the deposit, I apolgoize
what is your zip code on your property and will you have 3' of clearance ?
***** ********· 12:20 PM

I understand you're trying to help. I'm just frustrated is all!
I appreciate your help
VM
vanessa ****** 12:25 PM
Yes, Lisa. We can change the address and the unit will be installed there
***** ********· 12:45 PM
Okay I'm trying to talk Chris into just getting a smaller unit for our house here and see what he says. Can we put this on hold and I will let you know first thing in the morning what we decide to do?
VM
vanessa mejia· 12:49 PM
Sure, take your time
***** ********* 12:57 PM
Thank you ma'am (END TRANSCRIPT)We will contact the customer again regarding the change of address. If the customer has decided they no longer wish to move forward with the project, we will refund their deposit due to the circumstances of this cancellation.

Well all I can say is if you gonna do business get in line to get screwed again. It doesn't matter as soon as they get your money you get in line get ready for all the excuses on why its taking so long. What about the customer that last minute cancelled so heres a building we can give at this price. I need a blue print before I can get the permits, so i paid the ******* dollars we will get them to you in about a month, the one employee that draws plans is way behind. Because everybody is putting in their order before the holidays so they can relax BS. I've been told the building will be delivered in December. I placed the order on Nov. 1st. Lets see thats 61 days to the end of December and it takes 5 weeks for the drawings. Maybe in Dec 2024. And since it is close to the holidays I'm sure I will be hearing every excuse after another on the delay. I am just relaying the conversation I just had with ***** ****. I don't wish to hurt anyone I just want to be treated fair and not have to listen to Excuses. I was told it usually takes 10 days to 2 weeks for the blue prints?Garage Buildings Response

We are working with the engineer and doing everything possible to have the drawings completed and delivered to you as soon as possible. I realize we have not met the expectation we set for you. Please be assured we will do everything we can to ensure all goes smoothly from now through delivery of your building. As always, please call Hayden or myself with any questions or concerns and we will be happy to assist.Review from Michael C

I was purchasing a garage from my son back on 06/13/2022. I placed a ********* deposit on the order at that time. I was advised it would be the end of August or September before they would be able to build. On 06/27/2022 my son decided he did not want to put up a garage on his property. I notified ***** at Garagebuildings.com and he said that he would put in the cancellation. In a series of about 28 emails, I asked for the refund of the deposit. ***** told me he would contact the business to see about the refund. I had several of the same emails through to 09/21/2022. On that date I got a call from garagebuildings.com and they wanted to know if I was ready for the install. I told them the order was cancelled about 3 months ago and he said that he never got the cancellation. He then went on to say that all deposits were non-refundable. I explained to him that was not what the contract said. He again repeated that they did not give refunds on the deposit.
Upon checking my contract it states in one place the the deposit in non-refundable and then in another paragraph it states all money including deposit is refundable it cancelled prior to delivery.Review from Alex M

Ordered a building May *****
We kept getting the run around after paying deposit. The delivery company cut off all contact with us in November ***** After multiple calls and emails we couldn't get a response. May 2022 we began calling this company again to cancel as we inherited property elsewhere. After a month of constantly calling they are only giving back *** the deposit. Would not recommend.
