Icon

Enhanced Curb Appeal

A sleek, contemporary design not only creates a professional appearance but also provides a functional space that supports everything from vehicle storage to heavy-duty work activities.
01 Discovery & Quote (Week 1)

Begin with an initial project consultation to identify key needs and set clear goals. Our team will develop conceptual designs, prepare preliminary sketches, and provide you with a detailed quote so you know what to expect right from the start.

02 Design Sign-Off (Week 2)

After reviewing the initial designs, you’ll approve the final layout and contract. We’ll then coordinate the fabrication timeline and provide an estimated materials delivery date, ensuring everyone is aligned before proceeding to the next stage.

03 Engineering & Detailing (Weeks 3–5, 3–8, or 3–12)

Our engineers produce stamped permit drawings based on your project’s complexity:

  • Small Projects (Weeks 3–5): Approximately 2–3 weeks for stamped drawings.
  • Medium Projects (Weeks 3–8): Expect 4–6 weeks for simple self-storage buildings.
  • Large/Complex Projects (Weeks 3–12): More intricate designs (crane loads, mezzanines, complex rooflines, climate-controlled units) may take 8–10 weeks.
04 Initial Project Requirements & Site Preparation (Typically 4–8 Weeks)

With approved drawings in hand, your contractor handles permits, sitework, and foundation preparation. This pre-construction phase—securing necessary permits, performing site grading, and forming/pouring the foundation—usually spans 4–8 weeks, setting the stage for a smooth installation.

05 Delivery Preparation

We finalize production schedules and prepare your materials for shipment. Throughout this phase, we maintain open communication, ensuring that you, your contractor, and our team are coordinated for an efficient delivery and installation process.

06 Final Project Installation (Typically 1–3 Months)

Once materials are delivered, your contractor begins the metal building system (MBS) installation. Depending on complexity and site conditions, this can take 1–3 months, during which we remain focused on providing a quality, durable structure that meets your expectations.

07 Walkthrough & Completion

After installation, you’ll join your installer in a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets your specifications. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we’ll continue to offer support should you need any future assistance or modifications.

Steel Garage and Workshop Usage

Homeowners

A metal garage building, pre-engineered from commercial-grade steel, gives plenty of space to shelter a car, truck, boat, or lawn maintenance equipment such as a riding lawnmower, from the elements.

 

Because prefabricated metal garage buildings are customizable, they can be crafted to any size so that there is plenty of room for multiple vehicles, with a doorway system wide enough and tall enough to accept the largest of vehicles.

 

In addition to steel garage buildings, homeowners can erect steel workshop buildings. Attempting to do woodworking or enjoy a man cave in an already crowded garage can be difficult. The solution is stand-alone metal workshop buildings.  As with a garage, metal workshop buildings can be built to any specification, and the interior is easily customizable as a workshop, a man cave or a she shed (or lady lair!).

Steel garage

Commercial uses

Businesses that need to expand their premises take advantage of custom steel garages or steel workshop buildings, because these buildings are quick and easy to erect. They can be ready for use within a couple of months rather than several months.

 

And because steel is non-combustible, metal workshop buildings such as welding shops are much better than wooden buildings when it comes to fire safety. This is reflected in the annual insurance rates for the building.

 

Whether you’re a homeowner who would like a garage or a workshop or a man cave or lady lair, a prefabricated steel building is the answer.

Customization Options

There’s no need for a drab steel building if you’re a homeowner, or a business. Once the steel frame has been erected, the painted roof and wall panels are installed. These panels are formed from galvanized or Galvalume® coils. We use an industry proven silicone-polyester paint coating in the following colors:

  •    Burnished slate
  •    Evergreen
  •    Arctic blue
  •    Brick red
  •    Sagebrush tan
  •    Fox gray
  •    Lightstone
  •    Polar white

 

Our panels are available in a variety of designs as well, from “A” panels to “roof/wall panels to “reverse wall panels.” We also offer insulated panels if desired.

 

For more information on our paint standards and panel designs, go to our steel building design page.

Customizing your steel workshop or steel garage buildings

Steel garages and steel workshops can be customized to fit any need. Workshops may or may not need roll-up doors, depending on the purpose of the shop. We offer a variety of door options – from walk-in doors to roll-up doors.

 

Gutters and downspouts help protect the integrity of the building’s foundation by directing rainwater and snowmelt away. Skylights are popular for letting in natural light during daylight hours, which save on electric bills.  

Steel garage

Steel buildings for any region

Prefabricated steel garages and steel workshops can be erected in any region of the United States. They are suitable for every climate from mild winters and summers to the temperature extremes of the southwest or New England.

 

Valuable equipment such as cars and trucks need to be protected from the elements, but especially on the coasts where salt and rust can do real damage to their paint job if they are left neglected to the elements.

 

Storing vehicles and equipment in a steel garage also improves the appearance of one’s property, which is an added bonus.

 

Most businesses and homeowners can benefit from added room, and a custom-designed steel garage or steel workshop is the inexpensive solution to these needs.

"...Everyone is quick to getting you a quote but not everyone treats you with the respect and professionalism that SteelCo has done. I chose SteelCo because it didn't feel like a "sales guy" calling me and making me rush into something...I made what felt like a thousand changes to my building...but they never sounded upset or made me feel like I was wasting their time..."

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our self-storage building kits, customization options, and services.

01

What are the most commonly ordered sizes for steel garages and workshops?

Common sizes include Small (20×20), Medium (30×40), and Large (40×60). However, we can customize your building to fit your specific needs.

02

Does my steel garage or workshop require a permit?

Yes, most steel garages and workshops require permits before construction. Permit requirements vary by county and building size, so there’s no hard rule of thumb. It’s essential to check with your local zoning and building authorities to ensure compliance. We can help inform you about the permitting process and provide stamped engineering plans required for approval.

03

Does my steel garage or workshop need insulation?

Insulation isn’t required but is highly recommended to help stabilize temperatures, especially in areas with extreme hot or cold weather. Without insulation, steel buildings can amplify outside temperatures—making them uncomfortably hot in summer and excessively cold in winter. Insulation helps maintain a more consistent interior climate, reduces condensation, and can also improve energy efficiency if HVAC systems are added later.

04

Can I customize my garage or workshop to include features like custom windows/doors, partition walls, ventilation, or mezzanine levels?

Yes, our steel buildings are fully customizable. You can add insulation, ventilation systems, mezzanine floors, partition walls, and various door and window options to suit your requirements.

05

What is the typical construction timeline for a steel garage or workshop?

Construction timelines can vary based on the size and complexity of your building. Generally, pre-engineered steel buildings can be completed in a matter of weeks to months from design approval to installation. Please see our General FAQs page for more info on project timelines.
