Lea and Tom Sommers are very untruthful people. This report is full of lies and half truths. Lonestar Barns has filed a law suite against Lea Sommers for liable and will demand a full retraction.
Lonestar Barns delivered a beautiful barn to Lea Sommers that was to be installed by M bar R Inc who is a licensed contractor. She refused to wait for our normal installers and insisted we get an independent contractor to do the installation. We had to pull Mike and one of his employees from another job to go do hers. She was warned that it is always better to use the normal in house installers but she insisted.
This woman posts dates to give an appearance that Lonestar took forever to get them their barn when in fact she took forever to pay for the barn and had trouble getting financing and had to pay it out in payments which were always late. Then this woman did not even have the concrete foundation even ordered much less put in when it was their scheduled installation time.
When the concrete man contacted Lonestar he didn't even want to do the job and charged her an enormous amount of money to do a simple pier foundation due to the fact he did not want to do business with them. He also warned Lonestar of the type of person Lea Sommers was.
Lea Sommers bought a preowned barn from Lonestar and had us alter it to suit her which took quite a bit of time as she had us build a gable roof when the barn was a raised center aisle barn amond other changes, then complaiins it was taking so long to get an installation date etc etc.
It got to the point where Lonestar employee's would only deal with her in emails so we had proof of what was being said and when. Lonestar Barns is a material supplier only. It is stated in our web site and in the emails with the Sommers. They were told when the barn was on it's way again that Lonestar contract was complete and they were not dealing with the indepentant contractor. She received that e-mail and acknowledged it. From that point on they delt with the contractor.
The problem she has is between her and the independant contractor that installed it, Not Lonestar Barns. Lonestar even agreed to help her as a go between to help solve any problems she has but she began posting lies against Lonestar Barns and the very person who offered to help her. Her complaint should be with M Bar R Inc.
The barn was a high quality barn built better than most in the business and she received it at half price to boot. Due to all the half truths, lies, and stretched truths Lonestar Barns has filed the liable sutie against Lea Sommers and will demand a full retraction. Pictures of this barn installed are available.
