Sure, picking out building colors and deciding what interior and exterior features you may need (or essentially want) is also challenging. It’s also not uncommon for customers to second guess themselves on what size of post frame building they need. The last thing that you would ever want to happen is to run out of storage space.

If I had to guess, there’s a handful of people who would fall under each category. Right or wrong...it’s just the process of how we shop.
