Choice Metal Buildings

What Choice Metal Buildings does

Choice Metal Buildings is a privately held, veteran-owned direct-to-consumer manufacturer and retailer of custom steel structures, headquartered in Mount Airy, North Carolina. Founded in 2011, the company designs, fabricates, delivers, and professionally installs custom metal buildings — including barns, carports, garages, and high-wind structures — for residential property owners, agricultural and rural landowners, and a secondary commercial/business segment. Buildings are constructed from galvanized steel framing with 29-gauge sheet metal (26-gauge upgrade available), a proprietary smooth-radius bend tubing process for structural strength, and coated steel tubing validated by 1,000-hour salt-spray corrosion testing. The product line offers clear-span widths from 12' to 60', three roof styles, multiple anchor systems, and engineered wind ratings up to 140+ MPH (150 MPH for Florida-certified units).

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with no dealer intermediaries. Customers initiate purchases through a toll-free phone line (877-422-1812), website quote requests, or a self-service 3D design tool that enables real-time customization with live pricing. Marketing is concentrated on Facebook (268,059 likes), Instagram, state-targeted SEO content, and email/contact forms. Pricing is quote-based with a 10-15% deposit at order and the balance due at installation; financing is facilitated through partnerships with HFS Financial (terms up to 30 years, fixed rates from 7.8%, 120% financing) and RTO National. Free delivery and professional installation are bundled nationwide across the Lower 48 states (Alaska and Hawaii excluded). The company maintains an A+ Better Business Bureau rating continuously for 15 years.
