We may not always have the lowest price on a metal building, but there’s a reason for that.
When comparing pricing, it’s important to understand what you’re really paying for.
Cheap Materials Lead to Costly Problems
Some manufacturers cut costs by using lower-quality materials. While this makes their buildings appear cheaper upfront, it often leads to serious issues down the road.
A Common Example: Inferior Tubing
One major way manufacturers save money is by using thinner tubing with galvanized outer walls but uncoated inner walls. This hidden flaw might not be obvious at first, but it’s a ticking time bomb.
What Happens?
- The inside of the tubing starts to rust almost immediately.
- Over time, that rust eats away at the metal, weakening the structure.
- Years later, holes start to appear—often when it’s too late to fix.
When investing in a metal building, make sure you’re getting one built to last, not one that will cost you more in repairs and replacements.
At Hinton Buildings, we use fully galvanized, high-quality materials to ensure your structure stands strong for years to come.
Don’t fall for a “cheap” price that leads to expensive headaches. Choose quality. Choose durability. Choose Hinton Buildings.
Thin Paint, Fast Fading
Some manufacturers use fewer coats of paint on metal panels to save money. The result? Less protection against the elements and a building that quickly loses its fresh, clean look.
What Happens?
- Less UV resistance means colors fade fast.
- Sun, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures break down the coating.
- Within a year, the surface may look worn and feel chalky or powdery.
Crew Quality Matters
The skill and experience of the crew assembling your building can make all the difference. But here’s something to consider:
If a crew is paid based on a percentage of the building price, why would top crews take on low-paying jobs for the same amount of effort?
What Happens?
- Higher-quality crews go where the pay is better.
- Lower-paying jobs attract fewer crews, leading to delays.
- You may wait much longer for your building to be installed.
At Hinton Buildings, we work with skilled & experienced crews who take pride in their craftsmanship.
That means faster installations, better workmanship, and a building that lasts.
Don’t let a “cheap” price cost you more in the long run.
Choose quality. Choose Hinton Buildings.
