"I had been looking for someone to build an outbuilding for me in my woods without disturbing the existing woods much more than it already was. That ruled out a drag and drop shed. Atlantic was able to build to my described vision and built me a 20X14 building that I am extremely happy with. They took care of the permits, extended and framed in my existing crush and run pad to be proper distance from property line. They built a beautiful building, and a ramp walkway for me. Installed a solar exhaust fan, stained and painted. This is a super sturdy building. I have been out there during some big winds and violent storms with no real concerns. I will surely call Atlantic Coast next time I have a project. I want to include some pics, but I’m going to have to shrink them down."

"BEWARE - NOT LICENSED!! I hired Nick for a horse stall project because he installed a trailer hitch for me with no issues. I was told they were licensed contractors, they even advertise it on their page. Over a month later and the horse stall STILL isn't finished to the specifications they themselves set. It has no flashing to protect against water damage, no trim and the gate to the stall swings both ways so no way to keep it shut. Also if you look up, you can see light inside the stall coming through cracks! I would text both of them, no response sometimes for days, sometimes not at all. I would call, no response. I would be told he was coming out and he would never show. Be given excuses about projects he was doing. Finally Nick told me he would come out to finish and I asked if he could complete a whole other project we had discussed because it had been so long and I needed it done, electrical to the stall. He said it could be done, would even add water since he would already have an open trench. Paid money for materials for the new project to be done at the same time he would be finishing the stall. Again, would not give me an honest answer about timeline, became nasty telling me he had other customers who paid him larger sums of money for their projects and he could move me to the front of the line if I gave him a credit card, laughed at my frustration and concern. Stressed to him and Corrine I would no longer be needing their services for the electrical and water and I requested a refund of what I paid for the electrical/water project. They ignored me until I stressed to them I would be taking legal action if not refunded. They then stated to me they would return all but what I owed them for the stall which had NOTHING to do with the money I had paid for the electrical/water. I was current on the stall payments and my next one was not even due for another week! I am now seeking legal action. These two are frauds, not licensed and will take your money. All of the negative reviews online are true and I DON'T believe the positive ones are from actual customers. And I have found out since, this is not the first time legal action has been taken for the same thing. BEWARE!! STAY AWAY!!!! If they try to say anything to you about there are two sides to every story and use excuses as to what occurred, reach out to me, I have NO problem sharing screenshots!"

"The work that was preformed was horrible. This was new construction home and which we thought we hired this company and come to find out they sub contracted the work out. This was a total Sheetrock job. A lot of our personal property was used and damaged, none of the work was complete on 2 separate occasions, the owner was very disrespectful when we called him out on it,etc. I can’t explain everything we went through to get this job done properly. We had to hire someone else to complete the work. Keep in mind we live over 3 hours away and 2 separate trips the work was supposed to be complete. I would not recommend and be careful signing their contract and giving them your direct account information!! They will try and withdraw the money without your knowledge and claim they made attempts to collect which is incorrect!!"

With proper maintenance, shipping container homes can provide decades of service comparable to traditional construction. The steel framework offers natural resistance to common housing threats, including insects, fire, and mold.
Regular maintenance should include rust prevention, exterior coating renewal, and inspection of connection points between containers. Quality foundations with proper drainage significantly extend lifespan by preventing ground contact deterioration. With appropriate care and protection from the elements, these structures remain serviceable for 25 years or more.
When properly engineered and anchored, container homes demonstrate impressive resilience against severe weather conditions. The steel construction that withstands ocean shipping provides inherent structural strength against wind forces. Appropriate insulation systems manage temperature extremes while preventing condensation issues common in metal structures.
In hurricane-prone regions, professional anchoring systems and reinforced connections between containers create a unified structure. However, comprehensive weather protection requires quality windows, doors, and roofing systems beyond the basic container shell.
Securing conventional financing for container homes presents greater challenges than for traditional construction. Many mainstream lenders have limited experience with alternative building methods and may have concerns about market valuation and resale potential. Construction loans or portfolio lending from smaller financial institutions often provide more viable paths.
Presenting comprehensive architectural plans, professional engineering documentation, and clear permitting approvals strengthens your application. Some homeowners utilize personal loans, home equity from existing property, or specialized alternative housing financing programs to fund their container home projects.
Regulatory hurdles represent a primary obstacle, as many jurisdictions have limited provisions for container-based structures in their building codes. Technical challenges include creating effective insulation systems for metal walls, managing moisture and condensation, and implementing appropriate structural reinforcement around openings. Logistical considerations involve transporting containers to the building site, especially in remote locations with limited access.
Additionally, creating comfortable, functional living spaces within the dimensional constraints of shipping containers requires thoughtful design approaches. Addressing these challenges early in the planning process helps avoid costly complications during construction.
