CertainTeed Landmark Asphalt Shingles

We have two roofing options: shingles and steel paneling. For shingles, we use CertainTeed's impact-resistant shingles because they’re high quality and provide all-weather protection. The SBS modified asphalt allows for greater flexibility, so the shingles resist cracking in extremely weather. SBS's superior granule adhesion protects the shingle against the elements by keeping the granules in place, providing durability in extreme conditions such as a hail storm. This product has a variety of color options available.

LP® SmartSide® Panel Siding

Innovative LP® SmartSide® Panels with SilverTech® feature a finish-grade radiant barrier that resists flaking and peeling. These panels also help reduce the sun's radiant energy. The panels help keep stored items cooler, they brightens the interior, and their SmartGuard® treatment protects against rot and termites.

Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint®

We use Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint® Exterior Acrylic Latex paint for our stock wood panel and lap siding buildings, and Sherwin-Williams Resilience® Exterior Acrylic Latex Paint for our made-to-order buildings that require custom paint. We believe that the paint we use should be as dependable as the materials we use to build, that's why we choose Sherwin-Williams — their options deliver outstanding performance and protect against the elements.

How It's Built

Components

Premium materials create a high-quality product

From lumber to paint, each of our buildings is constructed with the highest quality components. We only use the best materials because we believe our buildings are a representation of our integrity and our commitment to customers.

Craftsmanship

Our craftsmanship sets us apart from competitors

We only hire experienced, skilled, and trustworthy craftsmen. Our team shares core values like paying attention to details and creating a product that's reliable and beautiful. We would never sell you a storage building that we wouldn’t buy ourselves.

Customized
