I had originally intended to have a one-car detached garage constructed on-site by a builder. The highly regarded builder that I spoke with basically talked me out of using him, and into a Kloter Farms garage. He said, "I'm not one to turn down work but... Their buildings are really nice." Because I trust his judgement, I drove out to Ellington to look at their selection, and I am so glad I did.
I wish I could give them something higher than an A. Not only is my new garage extremely well-built, but every single person I met with was friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I worked with two different salesmen. Neither of them tried to up-sell me on anything; they were patient and helpful. The delivery date was settled and they were right on time. The delivery was seamless. They were able to order siding that matched my house, and the price for doing so was extremely fair.
When I was in the store picking out the features for my garage, after I finished and was paying the check, the sales rep mentioned that he is always impressed when "wives" come in and make the decisions. Now... He meant it as a compliment. And I can't really get upset because, well, I'm a housewife and I was, in fact, in there spending my husband's hard-earned money. But I definitely texted all my feminist friends to say "You won't believe what someone just said to me!!" I'm sure it popped out of his mouth without too much planning, but if I had been a crusading womenist, he really could have lost the sale. Kloter Farms, maybe remind your sales staff to avoid judging people based on their gender-- even if the judgement is complimentary.
many other furniture sources. When we first entered the store, there
was not one sofa or chair that did not feel comfortable and solid. The
storage bed and storage mirror we purchased were solid, carefully made
and beautiful in both appearance and to the touch. The sofa and chair
are just as comfortable as the ones in the store. There was no pressure
to purchase but just enough availability to provide information. Once
we decide to go forward, the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and
helpful in selecting fabrics and making suggestions. When the furniture
arrived (on schedule), Kevin(I think) called as promised. We asked him to
hold the furniture for a couple of weeks as were were going to be away
and also had some additional work done. There was no problem, with this
either. And he fit us in as the first stop on a day they wouldn't
normally be in the area instead of having us wait another week. The delivery crew,
Chris and Dom (again, I think) were as terrific as everyone had been all the way through.
This is a first rate company with a first rate product. I would absolutely check there first
in the future.
Emily, the associate we worked with, is fantastic. No pressure but guidance in our decisions. Furniture order was on time. Delivery was equally professional. Yes we would highly recommend Kolter's Farm.
I went to Kloter Farms to see the shed construction in person before purchasing. The shed uses real plywood, pressure treated floor supports and real 2 by 4 wall studs. The wall studs and the roof joists were 16 inches on center which are the best in terms of spread. The shed had vinyl siding, a shingle roof, shutters, the larger windows and a special door on one side with glass and a rounded top. The end of the shed had a double door with a ramp. We picked the next installation date that was approximately 6 weeks from purchase.
My part of the shed was to measure the distance from the property line that I wanted to place the shed and stake out the corners and attached string to each corner post. I also got the permit for the town which told me what the variances were from the property line. Kloter farm guys that install the foundations called to make an appointment. They showed up on time and in about 45 minutes had the dirt leveled, packed, and spread out the gravel. They checked the level and were all done. Really quick and professional.
A week later, one guy came with a truck and a trailer with the shed on it. The trailer could adjust the shed in both directions to get it lined up with the gravel foundation as much as possible before placing it down. the guy was an expert at his job and placed the shed down exactly where I wanted it, straight and level. He then washed the windows, attached the ramp, and then adjusted the doors to close correctly.
Overall a darn good experience except for the hit in the pocketbook. The sheds are definitely expensive, but are hand made and made really well.
