Premium steel garages professionally installed by a licensed NC general contractor. From single-car to multi-bay — engineered for North Carolina weather, built to last generations.
If you own property in North Carolina, a metal garage is one of the smartest investments you can make. Unlike traditional wood-framed garages that rot, warp, and require constant maintenance, a steel garage is engineered to withstand NC's humid summers, heavy rain, and coastal wind loads — all while costing significantly less.
At Carolina Metal Structures, we don't just sell you a metal garage kit and wish you luck. We're a licensed NC General Contractor (#108035) who provides complete turnkey installation. That means we handle everything: the building kit, delivery, permits, foundation coordination, site prep, and professional installation. You get the keys to a finished garage.
Whether you need a simple single-car garage to protect your vehicle, a spacious two-car garage with a workshop area, or a massive multi-bay garage for your car collection, equipment, or business — we build it all, anywhere in North Carolina.

Every metal garage we install is fully customizable. Here are the features and options available to make your garage exactly what you need:
Regular Roof — The most economical option with a classic rounded roof profile. Great for areas with moderate weather. Vertical Roof — Our recommended option. Vertical panels allow rain and snow to shed quickly, reducing long-term wear and adding structural strength. Required for wider buildings and recommended for all NC installations due to weather conditions.
14-Gauge Steel — Standard framing option that provides excellent durability for most residential garages. 12-Gauge Steel — Thicker, stronger framing for larger structures or areas with higher wind and snow load requirements. We recommend 12-gauge for buildings over 30 feet wide or in coastal NC counties.
Choose from standard roll-up garage doors (8x8, 9x8, 10x10, 12x12), walk-in doors with deadbolt locks, and custom door placements on any wall. Need a drive-through garage with doors on both ends? We can do that too.
When comparing metal garages to traditional wood-framed garages in North Carolina, steel wins in almost every category that matters to property owners:
Cost: A metal garage typically costs 30-50% less than a comparable wood-framed garage when you factor in materials, labor, and long-term maintenance. Wood garages require painting, sealing, termite treatment, and rot repair that add up over the years.
Durability: Steel doesn't rot, warp, crack, or attract termites — all common problems with wood in NC's humid climate. A properly installed metal garage can last 30-50+ years with minimal maintenance.
Speed: A metal garage can be installed in 1-3 days versus weeks or months for wood construction. That means less disruption to your property and faster protection for your vehicles and equipment.
Weather Resistance: Our metal garages are engineered for NC's specific wind and snow load requirements. They're certified for up to 150 MPH wind ratings and designed to handle heavy rain, snow, and the occasional hurricane-force winds that hit the NC coast.
Insurance: Many insurance companies offer lower premiums for metal structures due to their fire resistance and durability. Steel garages are non-combustible, which is a significant safety advantage.
Customization: Metal garages offer extensive customization including size, roof style, gauge, door configurations, colors, insulation, windows, lean-tos, and more — all at a fraction of the cost of equivalent wood customizations.
In most North Carolina counties, you'll need a building permit for a metal garage over 120-144 square feet. The exact threshold varies by municipality, but virtually every garage we install requires permitting.
This is where working with a licensed general contractor makes all the difference. Unlike kit companies and unlicensed installers, we handle the entire permit process for you:
This isn't just convenience — it's protection. An unpermitted structure can result in fines, forced removal, or problems when you sell your property. With Carolina Metal Structures, your garage is built right, built legal, and built to code.
