Metal Garage FAQ by National Custom Builders

 Will I Need To Get A Building Permit for My Metal Garage?

​

 

Answer: The necessity for a building permit is dictated by your local building codes and enforcement. While we don't mandate permits in most areas for installation, it's advisable to consult with your local authorities for a smooth construction experience.

 

Additional Information: If a permit becomes essential, we will supply engineered plans stamped and sealed to meet your state's wind and snow load criteria.

​

Do These Buildings Come With A Warranty?

 

Answer: Yes. Every metal building sold by National Custom Builders comes with an impressive 41 years of combined warranty. This coverage spans from the raw steel materials to the craftsmanship of the installation.

 

What Size Does My Concrete Slab/Foundation Need To Be?

 

Answer: At a minimum, the concrete slab or foundation should match the building's perimeter measurement. A 6-inch (or more) perimeter footing is also suggested.

Additional Information: Local building codes might set forth more specific requirements, so always check with your local officials.

 

Can I Order My Metal Building with Insulation?

 

Answer: Absolutely. Given the varying climatic conditions, insulating your new metal garage is often indispensable. We extend a thinner, foil-backed, vapor barrier insulation as an upgrade. However, for the most effective temperature regulation, we recommend spray foam insulation.
