Terrible business, stole our money. Wow check out their Yelp reviews - 3.1/5 and none of them actually sound fake. Update 11/7/2023: Just finally got around to posting his communication referenced below. If Bob's is offering incentives for positive reviews, please let me know!! Update 10/28: Bob had once again said he was going to pay and deadline was yesterday. Never heard back. He also wanted this review taken down to free up more capital for some sort of project so he could pay me back more quickly (will post that email shortly). I’ve noticed many of the 5 star reviews lately are from people who haven’t actually purchased anything (based off some of the wording) or purchased but haven’t even started the build process or received there unit. Make what you want of that but to me seems fishy, on top of wanting my review removed to open up more capital. Can’t help but wonder if reviews are being incentivized. Regardless, I’d encourage anyone dealing with this company to either 1) go elsewhere, 2) don’t review a company on a product you purchased but have not yet received, and 3) do not sign a contract that states final payment has to be made before they’ll deliver. . Update 10/17/23. On 9/13 I sent a more than fair settlement offer which Robert Balderas accepted, but then refused to pay so we had a pre trial hearing on 10/13 (for which he was not present), and now the hearing is scheduled for January. We decided to send a settlement offer because we would rather be done with this and have money in hand. Now we will be going after the full amount in January. Background: We hired Bob’s Containers for a custom built container home in February 2022 with an estimated completion date of April/May. We had multiple issues with getting the container started and at one point their staff said we could cancel the project since the containers weren’t even scheduled to be built, and we would get a refund after a release agreement was sent. The agreement was never sent and then the owner contacted us and said there were no refunds. That became a whole other issue but ultimately all were in agreement to build. The container was started in July to be completed at the end of August. We were contacted by their finance department on 9/14/2022 and told the container would be ready to ship in 2 days time, and required the remaining 50% balance (over $50,000) which we paid immediately. Turns out, the container was not even close to being ready and would not be ready until the first week of October, 10/4. At that time, they were unable to find a company to ship the containers in a timely manner and I asked if we could find our own shipping company. I was told this was fine as long as they (Bob’s) had a chance to speak to the company to ensure they were capable of providing safe delivery. Craig Turner (Logistics), along with Dustin Hill, the COO, both were involved and confirmed the company we found would be fine, and they would process our refund as soon as the containers left their lot. We paid $15,000 to Bob’s Containers for shipping prior to this as part of the initial invoice. There would be a $500 fee per container withheld for shipping prep (reasonable) with a refund of $14,000. Our shipping company picked up the containers on 10/7/2023. We reached out multiple times after they were picked up and initially were told the refund process would be started and then they stopped responding for around two weeks. They eventually surfaced and said they needed to process a release contract. We ultimately filed in small claims court at the end of October. We had a hearing in February, to which Bob’s did not show up. We received a default judgment in our favor, however, Bob’s attorney surfaced within the appeal time period and filed for a new hearing. I’ve attached the email communications with regards to shipping refunds as proof of above, as well as when their finance team reached out for final payment. As noted before, we had many issues at the start of the container build, and we did have some quality issues including failed code inspections.

Bobs Containers = Excellent 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!!

Happy with my home I will admit I was a difficult customer to work with. That said I am fairly happy with Bob's Containers crew on putting up with me. They pushed back and guided my vision to a container in my budget. My only compliant is delay in shipping once it was complete. I was ready to received it but they held onto it for 2 more weeks waiting for my payment to clear. I feel like you should pay when it arrives but their policy is payment before shipment. At delivery it rubbed a tree and scratch the paint but they sent someone to fix it. Took a couple weeks though.

This is a long review but thorough 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.

I Strongly advise against using Bob’s… I Strongly advise against using Bob’s Containers to build your home due to numerous issues. These include the company's failure to honor the warranty, non-compliance with building code standards, delayed completion, very poor communication, and unprofessional behavior from the owner. - Water pipes froze at 20 degrees, building code standard was not followed and we had to relocate all the water pipes in the house. Bob’s refused to cover the repair cost. - The HVAC equipment came dead on arrival - They refused to fix the issue unless we signed a form releasing them of all responsibility (including the 1-year warranty) - The HVAC equipment did not comply with the building code. (there was No Disconnect Boxes) - Oversized HVAC unit was installed in the Bedroom causing the unit to continually short cycle - All the doors came wracked upon delivery and would not close properly – they did not honor the warranty - They lost the keys to the house, and we had to have a locksmith replace all the door keys - Incorrect shower faucets installed, resulting in visible patch after the repair. - Unprofessional owner with final say on decisions. I have all communications and pictures of the issues and I am more than willing to share more details if it helps you with your decision.
