What We Build

The Buildings

From a two-car garage to a full barndominium — every SMB building starts with steel and ends with something that outlasts the weather.

Garages & Workshops

Two-bay to four-bay and beyond. Roll-up doors, walk doors, windows — laid out around how you actually work.

Barns & Ag Buildings

Classic center-aisle barns, hobby barns, equipment cover — steel that works as hard as the land does.

Barndominiums & Metal Homes

Live in it. Steel-framed homes and barndos that trade maintenance for square footage.

Custom & Commercial

Bigger spans, taller walls, lean-tos, porches — if you can sketch it on a napkin, we can frame it in steel.

Featured Build · Real SMB Project

Two Generations,
One Shared Garage

A barndominium compound we built for a Florida family — a home for Mom and Dad, a home for their daughter and son-in-law, and one big shared garage sitting between them. Everybody gets their space; everybody shares the toys.

Galvanized steel framing throughout, engineered as one plan for one property. This is what "designed for how your family actually lives" looks like.

The Material

Why Galvanized Steel Framing?

Won't Rot, Warp, or Attract Termites

Built to last without the concerns that come with wood framing in Florida's climate.

Superior Strength & Wind Ratings

Engineered to withstand severe weather and meet demanding building codes.

Corrosion Resistance for Decades

The protective zinc coating helps prevent rust and extends the life of your building.

Superior Energy Efficiency

Paired with modern insulation systems, galvanized steel buildings deliver exceptional thermal performance — often outperforming traditional block construction.

Long-Term Manufacturer Warranties

Many steel framing systems and finishes are backed by industry-leading warranties for added peace of mind.

Precision Engineered

Factory-manufactured components create straighter walls, consistent quality, and faster construction.

Built stronger. Built smarter. Built to last.

Straight Answers

FAQ

What does a metal building cost?

It depends on size, doors, spans, and finish — and anyone quoting before asking those questions is guessing. Call 352-352-BARN and we'll price your actual building, free.

Where do you build?

Citrus County is home — Inverness, Crystal River, Lecanto, Homosassa — and we serve Central Florida including Ocala and Brooksville.

Why steel instead of wood?

Galvanized steel won't rot, warp, or attract termites — and the zinc coating resists corrosion for decades. Florida's humidity dismantles wood on a schedule; steel takes that whole problem off the table.

What wind rating are your buildings?

Our buildings are engineered for wind loads up to 180 MPH, depending on your location and the engineered plans for your site — designed with Florida hurricane season in mind.

Do I need a permit?

For permanent structures, generally yes — and requirements vary by county and parcel. We'll walk through what applies to your property when we scope the build.
