Built So-Well, LLC - Manhattan, Kansas

I recently heard about an extremely disappointing experience with Built So-Well LLC. From the outset, their performance was far below acceptable standards. The quality of their welding work was subpar, resulting in multiple issues that needed correction. This not only delayed my project significantly but also added unnecessary costs.

Communication with Built So-Well LLC was consistently poor. They rarely responded to calls or emails, and when they did, their responses were vague and unhelpful. There was no transparency regarding the progress of the work or any issues that arose, leaving me in the dark throughout the process.

To make matters worse, Built So-Well LLC proved to be entirely unreliable. They missed several scheduled appointments without any prior notice or explanation. Their lack of punctuality and accountability made the entire experience incredibly frustrating and stressful.

Overall, I would not recommend Built So-Well LLC to anyone seeking professional and dependable welding services. Their poor performance, bad communication, and unreliability are significant red flags that outweigh any potential benefits of working with them. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for your welding needs.

I purchased a trailer in the back handles for the tailgate were cracked and not working properly so I took it into bill so well and while I was in there just having a conversation I mentioned that the trailer lights weren't working. They worked my trailer in in between the jobs they had. They did a fantastic job got the door locks welded the way they should be and fix the trailer lights ! I highly recommend built so well !!!

Scott and his crew are fantastic, courteous, and honest. He got the TIG weld project done in 2 days and it's exactly what I needed! Thank you Scott for getting me in on such short notice, and helping me out before my trip! My horses and washer and dryer can ride safe now over 1400 miles because of you guys!

Fantastic local business that does quality and efficient work. Built So-Well is a stalwart supporter of Green Apple Bikes, Manhattan's free bike-share program. Whether welding and repairing our bike racks or upgrading and improving our volunteer trailers for hauling more bikes, Built So-Well has been exceedingly generous with their time, materials, and work. Can't recommend Scott and Debbie enough.

A week before building a deck, I decided to get custom built heavy duty post bases. My posts are 20 ft tall. Regular post bases sold in lumber yards do not have the mechanism to help keep the posts up straight. I talked to Scott and showed him a light sample to help explain what I wanted. Scott was really nice and proficient in coming up with the design details/specifications. He also introduced me powder coating, which is done by a different shop. Scott contacted the powder coating shop for me while I was in his shop. Within one week, the post bases were beautifully done except for the insert that was thinner than originally planned. Scott honestly told me that they had trouble to bend the thicker material. My deck builder said that the post bases were so well done that the design and workmanship should be patented and sell them in market. I know from the first meeting with Scott that he and his screws are honest people with warm heart. They are willing to help.

Great service! Called for estimate, they were there in less than 30 minutes. Estimate delivered, job scheduled for the next week and completed in 1 morning!
Many Thanks!

I had a trailer that i needed re-wired. I had just purchased it and was working out of state at the time so i asked them how big of a deal it would be to do a complete rewire. They said it shouldnt be a big deal and would only take a week or so because they had a couple people scheduled before me. Makes sense. We discussed what i wanted done, which was 100%new wiring. Thats a new plug, new junction box, new brake disconnect, all new wires wrapped in split lume. I supplied all materials except the wire itself. .. I was quoted 250 for the job and was told they would call when it was done.

3 weeks go by and i hear nothing so i called them. They had ran into an issue and instead of finish it. They pushed it to the side and would be beginning work again on it shortly and they asked if they could run conduit instead to keep the wires safe. I was told it would be about another 100. Im good with that.

3 more weeks go by. Nothing I call again
They still have not finished it. Claimed they think something is wrong with the ground.
All the wires are new. They installed them. There shouldnt be a grounding issue unless it is caused by them. But whatever.
Fast forward another few weeks of rinse and repeat. Same conversations.

I finally get told that the trailer would be finished that friday. So my father goes to pick it up because i am out of state.

The final bill was over 700$. Fine. Parked the trailer at the house.
Went to check the lights on it 2 weeks after we got it back before we put the deck on.
Half the lights on the trailer are dead when you turn on headlights. And they did not install any of the lume. There are entire sections of wiring that are unprotected.
They had the trailer for almost 3 months to do rewire job with no deck on the trailer.
They consistently put my job on the backburner. And upon completion did shotty work.
Normally i would request they finish the job i paid for. But i dont want to wait another 3 months for a job that should have only taken 4 hours.

I do not recommend this company
