Durham combines a thriving tech and research economy with a rich agricultural heritage.

This mix creates diverse demand for metal structures — from sleek residential garages to large farm buildings.
Durham property owners request a wide range of structures including home workshops for the city's maker and entrepreneur community, residential garages in the growing suburbs, and agricultural buildings on the county's active farmland. RV and boat storage is also popular with Durham's outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

Working with a licensed contractor means your building is permitted, inspected, and built to code. This protects your investment and avoids the fines, forced removal, or resale complications that come with unpermitted structures.
The Durham area has no shortage of metal building kit companies and unlicensed installers advertising cheap prices. But there's a critical difference between buying a kit and hiring a licensed general contractor:
Kit companies sell you materials and leave you to figure out permits, foundation, and installation on your own. If something goes wrong, you're on your own. Carolina Metal Structures is a licensed NC General Contractor who handles everything from the first phone call to the final inspection. We pull permits, coordinate foundations, and professionally install your building with a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Your building is an investment in your property. Protect that investment by working with a contractor who is licensed (#108035), insured, and accountable to North Carolina's licensing board.
We install metal buildings throughout Durham and all surrounding communities, including Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Morrisville, Carrboro, Bahama, Rougemont, Creedmoor, Butner, Stem, and Research Triangle Park.
