Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pre-engineered metal building?

A pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) is a steel structure that is designed and manufactured off-site, then delivered in ready-to-assemble components. Because it’s pre-engineered, each building is precision-cut and drilled at the factory to fit together perfectly on-site. This approach speeds up construction time and ensures quality. In short, you get a durable, custom-fit building that’s engineered to meet local codes and your specific needs, without the lengthy process of traditional construction.

How long does it take to deliver and install a metal building?

Delivery times can vary, but generally EMB can deliver your custom metal building within a few weeks after you place an order (lead times depend on your location and the complexity of your design). Installation itself is typically fast – smaller structures like carports might be installed in a single day, while larger garages or commercial buildings could take a few days to a couple of weeks. Our efficient crews handle the assembly, so you get a hassle-free experience. We will give you an estimated timeline when you order and keep you updated throughout the process.

Do your metal buildings come with a warranty?

Yes. All EMB metal buildings include robust warranties for your peace of mind. Our steel frames come with a 20-year warranty against rust-through (because we use high-quality galvanized steel), and our panels often have 10-20 year paint finish warranties depending on the option you choose. We also guarantee our workmanship (installation) for 1 year. These warranties ensure that your investment is protected and that your building will stand strong for decades. Be sure to ask our team about the specific warranties for your building model and location.

Can I customize my metal building?

Absolutely – customization is one of the key benefits of choosing EMB. You’re not limited to standard designs. Using our online 3D Design Tool or working with our experts, you can choose your building’s width, length, and height, as well as roof style (regular, A-frame, vertical), wall panels, door and window placements, colors, and more. Whether you need extra tall openings for an RV, insulation for year-round use, or a specific color to match your home, we will tailor the building to your specifications. Every structure is essentially a custom metal building kit designed just for you.
