Local Building experts
Custom Metal Garages, Shops, and Barns in Center
Center is a town of about 5,200 people in Shelby County, and the county seat, about 60 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Severe thunderstorms and high wind roll through every spring and summer. Our metal buildings are made from galvanized steel with Sherwin-Williams coated panels, so what you store inside stays dry.
Every building is custom: choose the bay count, roll-up and walk-in doors, windows and color. We recommend a vertical roof for the best wind rating and fastest runoff. A concrete slab gives the strongest hold. Level ground with auger anchors also works on many lots.
From garages in town to shops and barns out in the county, we build for every kind of property. Check with the City of Center about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Center and the surrounding communities of Carthage, Nacogdoches, Henderson and Lufkin. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
