Room for Hotrods, Equipment and Tools
Randy and Kathy wanted a safe, functional and cost-effective space for their hotrod projects. Their goal was a spacious, durable and customizable metal building for vehicles, equipment and tools.
Northern State Steel worked closely with them to design a building that fit their budget and provided the space and features they needed.

Configured Around Shop Use
Vehicle Access
Three large roll-up doors provide access for vehicles and equipment, supporting the shop’s working layout.
Roof and Wall Insulation
Insulation in the roof and walls helps moderate interior temperatures and reduce noise during work sessions.
Rainwater Management
Gutters and downspouts direct roof runoff away from the building.
A Dedicated Residential Workspace
The 40-foot-wide, 50-foot-long building provides 2,000 square feet for multiple vehicles, tools and equipment. The building has a 14-foot height.

Working with Northern State Steel
Paul was great. I asked for a quote including doors insulation and rain gutters the quote included the full cost other companies only sent the cost of the building and I had to request the added cost of the add one again from others. He answered all my questions and even brought out larger samples of colors so we could see them at the site. I’m very satisfied with the price, which was the least expensive and the time he took to help in other areas.
