A home shop is where your weekends happen. Whether you're wrenching on projects, storing a tractor and boat, or setting up a full woodworking bench, the building needs to fit how you actually work. We build home shops that match the real job — with the ceiling height, door sizes, insulation, and electrical you'll actually use.
Metal Home Shops
Metal home shops in Central Texas. Standard 30x40, 30x50, 30x60 sizes with custom wall heights, doors, insulation, electrical, and plumbing. Turnkey install.
What we build
- Standard sizes — 30x40, 30x50, and 30x60 are the common footprints — enough room for equipment without going industrial
- Custom sizes — 40x60, 50x80, and anything in between when you need more room or an unusual lot shape
- Lean-tos — attached covers for equipment, RVs, or a covered outdoor workspace
- Fully finished shops — insulated, wired, plumbed, and ready to work in year-round
- Open-air workshops — cheaper footprint when you just need a roof and a slab
- Barndominium-style shops — workshop with an attached living quarter or bunk room
Common specs and features
Wall heights
12-foot, 14-foot, and 16-foot sidewalls are common. Go taller if you need lifts, overhead storage, or a mezzanine.
Door options
Roll-up overhead doors, sliding doors, and walk-in entries. Any size, any placement — tell us what you're driving in and out.
Insulation
Vinyl-backed or rigid foam on walls and roof. Keeps the shop usable in August and in January.
Electrical
Sub-panel, receptacles, lighting, 220V for tools and lifts. We coordinate with your electrician or bring our own.
Plumbing
Bathroom, utility sink, floor drain. Rough-in planned before the slab pour, not cut in later.
Concrete slab
Our in-house concrete crew pours a proper 3000 PSI slab sized and reinforced for what you're parking on it.
Why our buildings hold up
- Engineered for your wind zone — Texas wind loads vary by county — our buildings are engineered for where they actually sit
- Matched foundation — we pour the slab too, so the building and the foundation are designed together, not bid by two contractors who never talk
- Clear scope on the bid — doors, windows, insulation, wiring — every option is priced line-by-line, no vague 'shop package'
- Installed by our crew — not subcontracted out to whoever's available — we own the schedule and the quality
