02
Do you handle the installation or do I need a contractor?
We handle everything! Our certified installation crews deliver and install your building on-site. No need to hire a third-party contractor. Installation is included free with every order.
03
Can you install on uneven or sloped ground?
Yes, we can work with moderately sloped terrain. Our crews use leveling techniques and may recommend grading for steeper sites. We will assess your property and provide guidance during the planning process.
Permits & Preparation
501
Do I need a concrete foundation?
Not always! Smaller buildings like carports and single garages can be anchored directly to the ground. Larger buildings and commercial structures typically require a concrete pad. We'll advise you based on your specific building and local codes.
02
Do I need a building permit?
Building permit requirements vary by county and state. We recommend checking with your local building department before ordering. We can provide engineered drawings and certifications to help with the permit process.
03
How do I prepare my site?
The site should be level and cleared of debris. For ground-anchored buildings, we'll install auger anchors. For concrete pad installations, the pad should be poured and cured before our installation date. We provide detailed site preparation guidelines.
04
What type of anchoring do you use?
We use mobile home auger anchors for ground installations, concrete wedge anchors for slab-mounted buildings, and asphalt anchors for paved surfaces. The right anchoring method depends on your site conditions and local requirements.
05
Do you provide engineered drawings for permits?
Yes, we can provide certified engineered drawings and stamped plans for your building. These are often required for the permitting process and include wind load, snow load, and structural specifications for your location.

02
What steel gauge should I choose?
14-gauge steel is our standard option, great for residential use. 12-gauge is thicker and stronger, recommended for larger buildings, heavy snow areas, and commercial use. We'll recommend the best option based on your location and building use.
03
What color options are available?
We offer 16+ color options for your roof, walls, and trim. Popular choices include Barn Red, Clay, Evergreen, Pewter Gray, and Quaker Gray. You can mix and match colors for a fully custom look at no extra charge.
04
Can I add insulation to my building?
Absolutely. We offer spray foam insulation, fiberglass batts, and radiant barrier options. Insulation is especially recommended for workshops, offices, and buildings used for animal housing. It helps regulate temperature and reduce condensation.
05
What roof styles do you offer?
We offer three roof styles: Regular (horizontal panels, most affordable), A-Frame Horizontal (A-shaped with horizontal panels), and Vertical (panels run top-to-bottom for the best weather protection). Vertical roofs are recommended for areas with heavy rain or snow.

Warranty & Quality
301
What warranty do you offer?
All our buildings come with a 20-year rust-through warranty on the framing. We also offer warranties on panels and workmanship. Our warranty is one of the best in the industry.
02
What happens if my building is damaged in a storm?
Our buildings are engineered to withstand high winds (up to 170 mph certified) and heavy snow loads. In the rare event of storm damage, our warranty covers manufacturing defects and rust-through for 20 years. We also recommend checking with your homeowners insurance for additional coverage.
03
Are your buildings fire-resistant?
Steel is non-combustible and does not feed fires like wood structures do. While no building is completely fireproof, metal buildings offer significantly better fire resistance than traditional wood-frame structures, which is a major advantage in wildfire-prone areas of California and Oregon.
Service Areas
301
What areas do you serve?
We deliver and install metal buildings throughout California and Oregon. Delivery and installation are completely free across both states. Contact us with your zip code for specific availability.
02
How far in advance should I order?
We recommend ordering 4-6 weeks before your desired installation date, although rush orders may be available. Demand is highest in spring and summer, so ordering early ensures you get your preferred installation window.
03
Do you serve rural or remote properties?
Yes, we serve rural and remote areas throughout California and Oregon. Our delivery trucks and installation crews are equipped to reach most locations. If access is limited, we will work with you on logistics during the planning phase.
