My hope is that within the 4 years from what this made they’ve increased their oversight on the contractors/craftsmanship and materials used. That’s wild amount of leaks for a new build. I’m in N AL looking for a residential garage build I thought they looked like my best option
I feel for you. We started building in 2019 and we are still not finished with SummerTownMetals. They have cost us so much in interest from having to come back to see the issues, then waiting for them to fix them, and now waiting on them to settle with us because our entire floor is not level at all! We have a house full of problems. Josh Lapp failed to calculate the steepness of the steps in our floor plan. It took 3 tries and they are still not right! They didn’t frame a wall in stairway. They put our floor joist 24in apart instead of 16in. We are about 20ft from the ground in a 20x40 building! So thankful my dad stopped by that day and noticed before they threw the floor over it! At one point they jacked our floor up! Installed wrong doors and swapped them out with a damaged one! Left a mess everywhere! There is so many more things, too much to list! I really hope they made yours right as they are still holding us up! 2 years! Dewayne was the crew leader, Josh drew the blue prints! They are getting sloppy to say the least!
How did Summertown respond? They have many contractors that build these. It may not be a product problem but an install problem. Did they stand behind their building and fix everything? I’m getting a quote on a shop now from them.
I was about to call them to build our barndo, glad I did a little research first. I will look else where. Not coming back to fix obvious problems such as leaks helped me decide not to use them.
Update? Like others I was thinking about using them but I don't know. I just stopped to see a building they built but no reported leaks. But other minor issues. It seems to be like Russian Roulette with thier subs.
So sorry to hear this brother! Just pulled up youtube to find some of Summertowns builds and I ran across your video. Im in Lebanon TN looking for a builder. I see you have a video that was in Watertown. Are there any builders in the Lebanon area that you'd recommend?
That's some pretty shitty work... They need to just own up and replace the leaking sheets of metal on the roof instead of just trying to patch everything. Thanks for the info bud cause I'll definitely steer clear of them in the future now. Good Luck
Hey, Zack great to hear from you. I'm currently working on some of our old videos and would love to have your input. My number has not changed if you don't have it John Harkins can give it to you. Cant wait to talk
Dewayne Heatherly of STM Contracting, an Alabama Corporation. Cervando Alarcon was the crew lead. At the time of construction, Mr. Heatherly had 11 crews running simultaneously.
I just bought a barndominium that Dewayne put the roof on. Some of the worst craftsmanship I have ever seen. I'm going to have to pay to have the entire thing replaced. I would NEVER trust anything from Dewayne or STM!!
I paid for a new building with a new roof. What I got is a repaired roof that still leaks in several places when it rains and lots of repairs that are suspect to leak in the future. I was never provided with any evidence that faulty screws were to blame for any of this. Also, screws don’t cause poor workmanship.

Thank you for posting this. I was in the process of using them for a new shop and now I’m thinking otherwise. Please post a follow up.
I strongly advise against doing business with Summertown.
I second that!

Any updates? Did they take care of it for you?
Im gonna guess missed screws, leaving holes in metal

Did you ever get this fixed? I had talked to them too
This kind of thing is why I don't even want to build anything.
Who was the contractor that built the garage for you? Summertown has a few different ones, id like to make sure i dont get the one that built yours.

@@zackmagnusson8583 thanks for the reply man, hopefully you got your situation resolved
Did you build? Curious if you have any thoughts.
Update?
Did you call Summertown Metals to have this fixed..??
They’ve been here 10 times attempting to repair. Still leaks.
I just bought a barndominium that Dewayne put the roof on. Some of the worst craftsmanship I have ever seen. I'm going to have to pay to have the entire thing replaced. I would NEVER trust anything from Dewayne or STM!!
You know they fixed it and you should pull this down? It was because of defective screws but I suppose you just want money or something.

Summertown Metals is a #JOKE
