Metal Buildings: Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about design, durability, permits, pricing, and installation.
What is a metal building?
A metal building uses steel framing and steel panels for the roof and sides. It’s engineered for strength, speed of installation, and long-term value compared with traditional construction.
Why choose metal over wood?
Steel doesn’t rot, warp, or attract termites. It’s fire-resistant, low-maintenance, and typically faster to install—saving time and labor costs.
Can I fully customize my building?
Yes. Choose dimensions, roof style, colors, doors, windows, lean-tos, insulation, and more. Our 3D Builder shows changes in real time.
Are metal buildings energy-efficient?
With proper insulation and ventilation, metal buildings hold comfortable temperatures year-round and can reduce energy costs.
How long will a metal building last?
Quality steel buildings often last 40–50+ years. Galvanized/coated panels and routine checks help maximize lifespan.
Do they rust?
Panels use galvanized or painted steel with corrosion protection. Normal maintenance (rinsing debris, checking fasteners) keeps them looking new.
Can they handle extreme weather?
Yes. We engineer to local wind/snow loads. Upgrades like anchors, braces, and heavier gauges are available for severe conditions.
How much do metal buildings cost?
Price depends on size, features, and location. Use our 3D Builder for instant pricing or request a quote.
Is delivery & installation included?
In most areas, yes—delivery and installation are included. We’ll confirm availability for your zip code.
How long does installation take?
Small carports can install in a day; larger garages may take 3–5 days depending on site prep and weather.
Do I need a concrete pad?
A level concrete slab is recommended for most enclosed buildings, but we can also install on level ground, gravel, or asphalt when appropriate.
Do I need a permit?
Most municipalities require permits. We provide engineered drawings and load data to assist your application.
What warranties are included?
Material and workmanship warranties vary by configuration (e.g., 20-year rust-through). Ask us for the exact coverage on your model.
Can I add doors, windows, or lean-tos later?
Yes, many add-ons can be installed later. It’s often most cost-effective to plan them up front in the 3D Builder.
Are barndominium shells available?
Yes. We supply shells designed for interior build-outs. You can customize spans, porches, lean-tos, and openings to match your plan.
Do you offer DIY building kits?
Yes. Many models can be delivered as kits with framing, panels, and fasteners—ideal for DIY and time savings.
