'Best Value, Best Security, Best Warranty'

Thanks in part to the U.S. Air Force, Dot Pantone is flying high with her decision to buy a steel storage facility from SteelMaster Buildings, which is located in Virginia Beach, VA.

As director of the Wiregrass Emergency Pregnancy Service in Daleville, AL since October 2009, Pantone saw the necessity for additional space to store cribs, mattresses, stroller, bathtubs, bassinettes, and the like for the women who are helped by the organization.

"Because our office is located on the 2nd floor of the Daleville Knights of Columbus building, not only did we need extra storage space for certain items, we also needed a solution to carrying heavy things up and down the stairs," says Pantone. "I presented the request to the governing board at the April 2010 board meeting, and now the building is being used on the property in back of our office."

"SteelMaster steel prefabricated storage buildings are perfect for equipment storage, multi-purpose farm buildings, steel barns, storage sheds, and grain or hay storage," says Michelle Wickum, the director of marketing for the company. "Our build-it-yourself prefab storage buildings are affordable and offer 100 percent usable space with a clear span design that eliminates beams and trusses. SteelMaster prefabricated storage sheds are easy to construct and provide maintenance free use for a lifetime. Reaching widths up to 150 feet and lengths as long as needed, SteelMaster prefabricated storage buildings provide the most durable, highest quality and most economical Steel Arch Buildings on the planet."

Because SteelMaster's Storage Building Kits are pre-cut and pre-drilled, they are easy to assemble in just a few days. But when the man who had volunteered to construct the new building for Pantone backed out at the last minute, she wasn't sure what she was going to do. That was until Senior Airmen Ashley Chappell stepped in. "She volunteers with us on Monday and Tuesday and is amazing," says Pantone. "She always finds time to help out our clients above and beyond the call of duty, and when she heard that we needed someone to construct the building, she asked her Air Force coworkers and leaders to volunteer."


The team put the building up in approximately 10 hours, not including prep work like moving dirt and pouring the concrete foundation.

"I also love the amount of space available in the building as well as the 30 year warranty-in this part of the country we can count on occasional tornadoes and high winds from hurricanes, so durability is a must."

According to Wickum, SteelMaster steel buildings are engineered to meet the wind loads of their destination whether that's in the middle of the country or on the coast of Florida where hurricanes are common. "As opposed to wooden structures, SteelMaster buildings remain maintenance free for a lifetime because we use Galvalume Plus Coating which offers strength, superior corrosion resistance, and an attractive bright appearance that provides excellent heat reflectivity," says Wickum. "Each SteelMaster building also comes with a 30-year mill-backed warranty by ArcelorMittal (NYSE MT)."

All of these factors added up are why Pantone says she decided to buy the building from SteelMaster. "They offered the best value, the best security, and the best warranty," says Pantone.

With more than 40,000 satisfied customers, including buildings located in every state in the United States, on six continents, and in more than 40 overseas countries, SteelMaster takes pride in knowing its steel buildings have earned the favor of people like Dot Pantone.

SteelMaster's steel and metal pre-engineered buildings are designed for a broad range of residential and commercial applications including Garages, Workshops, Carports, Quonsets, Airplane Hangars, RV Storage, Military Buildings, Commercial Warehousing, and Industrial Storageas well as a wide variety of Custom Building applications including Athletic Facilities, Retail Stores, Churches, Bus Stops, Smoke Shacks, Doggie Dorms, and Correctional Facilities.
