I don't recommend anyone buying a Lester Bldg. at all, I bought one and just weeks ago had to pay an Amish Crew to come in and fix the mistakes and poor workmanship on it. I paid Lester Bldgs. extra for roof dripstop to be installed on the house portion of my bldg., but they shorted me on that, I also paid Lester extra for 3/4" plywood to be installed on all exterior walls, but again they shorted me and they incorrectly engineered the exterior of my bldg. I dealt mainly with the Lester Bldgs. Regional Manager who also provided me with one of their Lester Buildings Dealer/Builders from out of state saying he did "Good Work", which turned out to be a lie. It took this Lester Dealer less than 10 days to build my bldg. and then he left town, just weeks later we had our first rain at which time I noticed that I had 25 leaks in my roof, I had puddles all over inside my bldg. Before this Lester Dealer left town he had told me that if he had to come back for any reason it would be a $500 minimum and I wasn't about to pay him to come back and fix his screw-ups, so I got on the roof myself and found that he had installed the roof screws missing the roof purlins and some screws were too short. It took me two days, but I fixed all this myself.

It took me 2 years to finish and move into my Lester Bldg., at which time we started noticing more serious problems, to the point that I had an Amish Crew come in and check out my bldg., who found several problems, but before I paid them to fix my Lester bldg. I first called out the Lester Bldgs. Regional Manager, who was shocked by my bldg. problems, but after he spoke with Lester Bldgs. Upper Management he said Lester Bldgs. doesn't feel any responsibility for my Bldg. issues and will not be helping me, so I at that point paid the Amish to come in and fix my Lester Bldg. and the following is what they found: 8 Roof Purlins not nailed at all, the Amish actually pulled one up and out to show me, which would explain why on windy nights it sounded like my roof was going to blow off. A lot of my soffit only had one staple holding it on and when the staples tried going thru the steel they bent only allowing 3/8" to go into the facia board, which would explain the rattling we were hearing. Gaps/Openings in the roof valleys where wind was blowing in and had blown my attic insulation away in those areas, cold wind was also finding its way into my furnace plentum/duct work. Facia boards barely on the truss and nails missing the truss, we had to sister nailers on the sides of some trusses. Facia cover not cut to fit properly causing the ends to dip down an inch. 2 bird blocks not installed and the ones that were installed were not nailed at all, I personally screwed every one of them off myself. After I turned Lester Bldgs. into the Better Business Bureau they responded by putting most of the blame on their Lester Dealer/Builder, you know, the one they recommended to me. This Lester Dealer/Builders name is C&C Construction, Willis Childress is the owner and he definitely did poor workmanship on it, but Lester Bldgs. is who recommended him to me and Lester did short me on dripstop and incorrectly engineered the exterior of my bldg., but they feel no responsibility for what they call "My Building Issues", so with that in mind I would not recommend anyone buying a Lester Building at all.
