Bob's Containers Anmeldelser 53

Very happy with the product and service I received from the Bob's team. Very responsive throughout the build process and I ended up with a quality container home. The attention to detail is exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get into the short-term rental industry.

Enjoyed working with them from start to finish.
Found Bob’s on Facebook and contacted them through the website. Their website was very easy to use and gave me an idea of to expect. Sales rep was very helpful when we met and answered my endless questions.
I enjoyed the weekly updates and constant communication throughout the process. My container home is amazing and I’m very pleased with the quality of work.

Bobs Containers is great service, fast construction, and transparent. We requested a quote on the website and Nathan (sales rep) called us the same day we asked for it. He walked us through making the right decision on financing and he even recommended a general contractor in our area for utilities. No other company was as responsive and helpful. We are now waiting for delivery and after seeing the completed photos we could not be more excited!!

I was looking for a tiny home for my mother to live in and ran across the bobscontainers Instagram.

They had a variety of options to pick from off their website and were able to help create an awesome design over a video call.

I really enjoyed the communication and the weeklyphoto updates of the home being built.

It amazes me, how it starts off as a metal box and turns into a living space.

Next year im planning to get one for myself with a roof top deck and rent it out when im not using it

Hihgly reccomend-

I purchased a backyard office made from a converted shipping container after searching online. The build network did some youtube videos about their quality which caught my attention. The majority of the builders that do shipping containers I found didn't have much info online or they didn't call me back.

This company had pricing online with options and even a process. After setting an appointment through their website I had a video conf with a sales rep who took my design and email me a quote. The time to build was faster than I thought so I told them I would call back when I was closer to being ready. 2 months later I called and the price was higher but they worked a deal with me.

After I signed and paid a deposit I was given a link to check on the progress. I was given updates twice a week with photos. When I called I usually spoke to someone in support that would just take a message.
When builders were halfway done I paid another deposit as a progress payment. Basically, it was similar to new home construction but on a faster timeline.

After it was complete I was given a link to book a facetime with my project manager or inspect in person.

After I approved the build their logistics driver called me to set up a delivery. After the final payment, it was delivered in 10 days. Everything worked out for me and I am happy with my backyard shipping container office

I purchased a container home from Bob's after discovering photos of their work on Instagram.

I called to get more info and had to set an appointment. The phone rep was able to give me basic info and direct me to their website with pricing. I was hoping to speak to a rep right away but they said it is their process and to check the website for ideas of layouts

Fast forward I bought a 40ft model called the joshua. During the process I had a dedicated project manager who updated me using their software on the progress. I was able to ask questions and make changes .

Delivery took some time as my contractor didn't get a foundation poured on time. Bob's held my container in storage while it was being completed. They mentioned a storage fee but ultimately waived it.

Overall I had a good experience with them. Few unknowns like the build speed and delivery time worried me but they made it happen.

PONZI SCHEME!!! They stole my money for a build, so I have been reaching out to current and previous customers and employees and have come to several conclusions.

They are using old clients money to pay for new project's builds. They are lying to new customers, clients, and investors. They cannot even afford to process regular payroll. It is expected that the company go under shortly, especially after suspected fraud.

Also, they are paying under minimum wage for international outsourced employees. They are living in storage containers with no running water on the site. This company is COMPLETELY unethical.

The only way to get your money back is to hire a lawyer, and they have several active lawsuits so good luck.

STRONG REC TO NOT USE.

I ordered bathrooms made out of a 20 ft container from Bob's Containers. We started working together in January of 2022. My Container was delivered on July 14th 2022. Overall, I love my bathrooms. I upgraded the tile and went with commercial grade toilets. Everything looks nice and well made.

The reasons I took off stars is that communication was a struggle. I did like the coconstruct app they use, but sometimes it was difficult to get a response and I didn't receive many updates that I hadn't asked for at least once. They did not install the towel hangers I paid for and I haven't gotten a refund. That was disappointing. I would have also liked a better layout and floorplan set to me for permitting, but that might have been available through a different invoice.

It did take longer then I hoped, although the timing worked out in my favor after all. I do feel David Salinas was the best at Customer service and being helpful. If I was closer in proximity to Bob's I would definitely order from them again, but being over 1,000 miles away makes it hard on both ends to communicate in a way that benefits both parties as needed.

This is a long review but thorough. I promised the company I would give an honest review so here it is.

Let me start by saying this has been the most dreadful and unprofessional process from start to finish. Coupled with a severe lack of communication and unaccountability. Ive felt like a transaction the whole time, not a relationship.

I started this process in March, and made my deposit in early April, I was originally told 6-8 weeks to complete, then 8-10, then 12+. Silence for weeks. On May 2nd, I was told the build would start soon to pick my finishes. I never received communication or updates on CoConstruct (the platform to track the build for owners). In Early June, I reached out to find out that they had not started the process and no one could provide a clear answer to why. In addition, the team I was to work with now was all brand new, and my build had “fallen through the cracks”. New Director, new PM, and no containers were available for a build. I, not them, provided options in lieu of my original build such as purchasing others models that financing fell through, welding 2-20 ft together, etc. Nothing was available, I asked for a refund which they quickly told me no that I had signed a contract and was locked in. I fought it for a few weeks until I posted a review and got the owner to agree to a meeting and he promised a delivered build on July 15. He missed the deadline by 6 days still. I should have cancelled but didn’t. I asked for some form of discount/free delivery for missing the deadline, they built me a deck to cover the week which was three ft less than I asked for but at that point I was over it, and waited for the build. Could not do a walkthrough because the new director was out of town, when we finally did it, I was pleased with the build, he promised a delivery of Wednesday. I drove out and waited 2 extra days for the conex to arrive because they couldn’t find a truck that could carry the weight (mind you they do this everyday). I sat with furniture in the yard for 2 days.

This is all after I received a threatening letter that they would put a lien on my property if the bill wasn’t paid, THIS WAS ON JULY 6TH, before they even finished.

I sent pictures and described my terrain and orientation of cones for delivery. It showed up facing backwards, and the delivery guy destroyed my driveway. The neighbor and I spent hours getting him in and out of the mess he created. I understand the conex was heavy but when he couldn’t get it straight several times, with no 4wd, he buried himself. The company blamed me for not having a sufficient driveway when I have drove on this 100’s of times with trailers and never had a problem. Had a dump truck literally bring in yards of fill and base for the pad because the county requires it to be 18” above grade. From 5 pm til 11 pm we worked to get him out and unstuck. When I wrote the “director” it was my fault….

Every time I called or text or emailed it would take me repeated attempts to get a response. The new “director” in my opinion is too new to understand the process, his authority, and make any promises he can fulfill, I lost faith in him in the very beginning when he couldn’t answer my questions. Daniel however seems better suited for that role and was the only reason I conintued on, he listened, tried to make things right, and was the only one who understands customer service. They have repeated let me down.

In a honest review the build looks like it was finished well, however the ac arrived loose and the floor appears to be warping.

It’s been hell to get ahold of the owner again, emails go unanswered, I’ve offered my cell phone, but nothing. I set a meeting on his calendar which I missed cause I couldn’t get logged into his calendar app for some reason. Responded to his email instantly to call me but again nothing. Silence. You are on his time and he could care less I feel.

I’ve never received a discount, free delivery, concession of any kind. NOTHING! They got their money and I was the one faced with all the pain of their shortcomings. I’ve lost a whole summer of rent on broken promises.

I don’t doubt some builds go smooth and others can be tougher but the shear lack of accountability, customer focus, disregard for my time, money, and resources, and pointed fingers to everyone but they has made me upset. I can’t imagine how a warranty is going to go I will keep everyone updated. Proceed with caution and ensure you have deadlines, dates, and clear expectations or go elsewhere.

STRONG REC TO NOT USE BOBS CONTAINERS TO BUILD YOUR HOME.
Shockingly poor experience that included a rep who was 20+ minutes late to our first ever phone call, with no notification, who went on to be unable to simply write a basic email, manipulated us into paying for a feasibility study that ended up being a week late... just to find out they never did it at all, wasting nearly a month of our building process, putting us behind.

Other issues of note:
- Quotes often thousands over other companies with no explanation
- Rude, ineffective and unintelligent representatives
- Horrific customer service that includes simply no response when questions asked about obvious failures on their part
- Dramatically overpriced, with no explanation
- Selling designs they've never produced
- Requiring up to an additional 5-10k, on top of the asking price, for any type of design to be used for permitting to actually use the unit on your property
- Unclear process that results in wasted time and scamming money

My husband and I were so astonished by the poor quality of this company. Please do yourself a favor and save yourself time, money, and effort and go to another builder. Pretty close to anyone else is better.

Bob's Container has been easy to work with.

They provide you with a timeline.

We are currently in process with building our container home with them.
