Design, price and lead time
You get a 3D design, a written price from Metal America's current pricing for your ZIP code, Metal America's current estimated lead time, and our site and permit checklist. The quote lists what's included and what isn't.
- When you're ready
Check your site and permits
Before any deposit, confirm you can get a level site and a permit if your county needs one; you're responsible for confirming local requirements. Engineered drawings and certifications are included. Site prep guide.
- Order
Approve and pay the deposit
You sign Metal America's order and pay the deposit it sets. Your contract is with Metal America. Your Metal America contract includes a 48-hour cancellation window: cancel within 48 hours of signing and your deposit is refunded. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
- Order to install
Prep while it's built
Metal America confirms your order and schedules production. You prepare the base. We check in and pass on any updates from Metal America as soon as we hear them.
- A few days before
Install window confirmed
Metal America's installer contacts you to confirm the day. Clear the site and the truck path.
- Install day
The crew builds it
Metal America's crew delivers and builds it, free anywhere in the continental U.S. Large shops take longer than garages. Walk through it with the crew when they finish.
- On completion
Pay the balance
The balance is due to Metal America as written on your order.
