Absolute Steel Rocks!
Feedback like this really makes our Monday mornings. “Absolute Steel Rocks” is the subject line of an email we received over the weekend from a customer in Louisiana.
Traci and Cherie’s New Garage
In 2007 Traci and Cherie carefully researched different steel building manufacturers in search of a new garage building for their mountain home.

Hi Dean,
We assembled first Absolute Steel building. When we first started our conversations and insights into your products, I must admit we were a little skeptical, not being able to see a building erected living so far away. We had to make all of our decisions based on photos and correspondence.
I have been in the steel erection business for almost 30 years and have always had to make some corrections or field fitting on pre-eng buildings.
After receiving our building packages from your company I was pleasantly surprised to see the care and quality that went into the packaging and labeling of each building, but the true test was yet to come.
We began by assembling a 20 x 20 standard carport, we did not break out the instructions as it was a very windy day. The assembly went very well, so well that the guy helping me went to get a phone call and when he returner 25 mins later, I had the whole frame together and ready to stand. We completed that building and everyone said that was easy ! I said yes but we are doing a complete building next, then we will see.
We then erected a complete building and sheeted it in.
WELL I must say, the entire building went together like your video shows, IT REALLY IS THAT EASY.
Congratulations to you and your company, it truly has been a pleasure dealing with Absolute Steel. You delivered a product that was the same as shown. A great quality product, professionally delivered from correspondence to order to delivery.
Keep up the good work, I wish all companies could deliver what they preach !
Regards

We bought a summer home in the forest south of Flagstaff and needed a carport for protection against hail, sun and pine tree sap. Our neighbor had the best carport … read more on the block which he bought from Absolute Steel. I ordered a Mojave style 10x20 ft right off the website which was an incredibly process.
The green panels they had in stock matched my home and garage perfectly, the steel framing quality was top notch and with the help of my neighbors, we were able to use the easy to follow instructions, all the included hardware and assemble the frame, followed by the roof and side panels. Jennifer at Absolute Steel was always there to answer any questions.
This carport is built like a tank and I have no worriess about it holding up against 50-60 mph winds or 4 feet of snow that can happen in the Flagstaff winters. I have no problem giving them my unqualified recommendation. -
My husband and I have now used Absolute Steel & Storage for two different homes. The first time was in 2012 for a small home in Rimrock, AZ, and the second was … read more for our Tucson home in the middle of the Covid supply chain mess of 2022.
Both times, believe it or not, we worked with the amazing Jennifer Morton! We don't plan on any future major remodeling jobs in our future (we have just retired), but if we did, we would once again use Absolute Steel for our material.
They work with you from the very beginning, going over your dimensions carefully to make sure you will have everything you could possibly need.
The quality of the materials, and the care taken to make sure your project is completed with all materials needed, makes Absolute Steel great to work with. The instructions for installing your roof provided are excellent as well.
We've recommended the company to others already, and those who've seen our house always ask us where we got our roof. We are always happy to tell them.
I'm including photos from both of our projects. My husband and I feel a metal roof have added so much more value and beauty to each home, especially compared to the asphalt shingles they replaced. And we know we'll never have to replace them again!
We highly recommend Absolute Steel & Storage. -
We recently purchased a 24' x 40' Barndominium with 10' walls and a gambrel roof. Other than the delivery delay, due to covid and material shortages, … read more the process went very smoothly. All of the components were marked with dimensions and where they went. It assembled like a giant erector set. Customer support at Absolute Steel was very good. I called twice to get confirmation on assembly process and both times their Design Engineer walked me through the process. The only real cons were not to take the video's as the bible. They are very generic and sometimes don't apply to a larger building. For instance, we needed a crane to lift the frames into place. They weighed between 400-500 lbs apiece. Also it is highly recommended that you install the window/door trim when you install the siding, not after the siding is bolted down. Overall it was a very good learning experience and Absolute Steel makes an awesome product.

From the customer, who put together this video and sent it to us:
Jennifer attached is my building project. As you can see it is finally finished and turned out great. For all the naysayers I built this pretty much by myself. A 71 year old guy with only some minor help from my wife and a friend once in awhile.
Hope this video turns out great. This was my whole project including the rear and front block wall. Yea!
Thank You for all the help

I just wanted to drop you a note that I really appreciate you and everyone at Absolute Steel. I have finally gotten the garage/workshop of my dreams. The product is fantastic and the people involved were great. All will be highly recommended as they already have been to my friends, family members, and even some complete strangers that have stopped and asked about the garage.
I have never lived in a house that had enough room for more than one car in a garage. I can put three easily and four if needed in my new garage. Thanks for making it happen!

Dear Absolute Steel & Storage,
You were the only people that seemed genuinely interested in helping me create a unique building that would be a compliment to the “Old West” style of my ranch in northern Arizona.
And I have to say, your genuine care was only exceeded by your competence! The people you suggested I work with on the installation worked diligently–even through a snow storm!
Everything was on time, not even a hiccup in any of the pricing, timing or quality–no surprises.
Thank you and I will be ordering my second building within just a few weeks!

Ron S., Phoenix Arizona (Teton Garage Kit)
When my wife insisted that I have a shop built for my two hotrods and get them out of the garage, I contacted a local contractor to get a price. Even though I’ve always known that steel is the most economical method of building, I never really considered that a steel building would look right for our home. Both my wife and I wanted the shop to look like a guesthouse when viewed from the kitchen window which is where we spend much of our time.
Then I found out about Absolute Steel and had them give me a price. What they came up with compliments my home and the neighborhood! When we look out from our home, the shop I got from Absolute Steel & Storage looks just like a guesthouse!
The best part is that the price was over $8000 less than the next competitive bid and that was on a building that measured 24’ wide X 25’ long—I can’t imagine the savings one would get on a bigger building!
I highly recommend Absolute Steel & Storage!

Dean,
I finally have my building up!! It took me a while because I had to work in it in my (rare) spare time. It was funny, my neighbors were kind of suprised I was putting up a “metal building” – because my neighborhood is all log cabins. However, now that it’s done, and it DOES NOT look like a metal building, I’ve had a lot of compliments. The colors you recommended make the building really fit in with the terrain.
As far as assembly, it wasn’t too bad. My brother helped me build it and even though neither of us are construction types, it still went up quickly (once we could devote some time to it). Also, I appreciate the fact you were quick to answer the phone and answer my questions!

Dear Absolute Steel & Storage,
I just wanted to say ‘Thank You’ to you and the crews that helped with our building. It looks great and you were a pleasure to work with!
Again, thank you, and we are looking forward to many years of enjoyment with our new garage/workshop and rec room.
You saved us a ton of money!

Bob G in Glendale, AZ
Dear Absolute Steel,
In 1990 I retired from my own steel fabrication and erection business, Aztec Steel. Over the years at Aztec Steel we put up a great number of buildings which I was directly responsible for. So, one would be correct in assuming, that I know what a good steel building is.
The building that I got from Absolute Steel was correctly represented and was exactly what they said it was—a great building at an outstanding value. The contractor Absolute used for the erection, K&L Skyworks, did a fine job in very short order. The job was so complete, they even went over the nearby ground with a magnet to make sure loose screws were left on the ground.
I am very pleased and with all my years in the business, I highly recommend Absolute Steel!
