CUSTOMER REVIEW

Working with Northern State Steel

Paul was great. I asked for a quote including doors insulation and rain gutters the quote included the full cost other companies only sent the cost of the building and I had to request the added cost of the add one again from others. He answered all my questions and even brought out larger samples of colors so we could see them at the site. I’m very satisfied with the price, which was the least expensive and the time he took to help in other areas.
