Custom Metal Garages, Shops, and Barns in Rockdale

Rockdale is a town of about 5,300 people in Milam County, about 175 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Spring storms bring hail and high wind, and summers are long and hot. 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 is the most common base here, and concrete anchors give the strongest hold.

From garages in town to shops and barns out in the county, we build for every kind of property. Check with the City of Rockdale about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Rockdale and the surrounding communities of Cameron, Taylor, Hearne and Elgin. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
