Testimonials
Legacy was very easy to work with.
The old buildings used tubular steel, and no matter what you do, the salt gets inside the tubes and corrodes them. They came out here with their crew, rented all their equipment, and erected the buildings in three weeks flat – a week ahead of schedule. It's a stand-up company.
Legacy met our challenges.
Merging old materials with new materials—and then using unconventional construction—were among the challenges.
Great service over many years.
The facility looks great and it is very photogenic, which is important since we get a lot of media coverage.
