Why Kemko Metal Buildings?

Over 50 Years of Proven Red Iron Excellence

Since 1965, Kemko has built thousands of metal buildings that are still standing strong today. Our veteran team – with many employees here 20+ years – brings unmatched expertise to every red iron steel project. While newcomers experiment with untested methods, we deliver time-proven construction using only first-run, premium-grade steel. When you choose Kemko, you’re choosing a legacy of durability that has weathered every storm, economic downturn, and industry change for over five decades.

 

Complete Control From Design to Delivery

Unlike dealers who ship buildings from distant suppliers, Kemko designs and fabricates your building in our 40,000-square-foot Daphne facility using state-of-the-art software that’s continuously updated with the latest building codes. Our local manufacturing and erection crews eliminate delays, material shortages, and costly surprises. You get faster delivery, better quality control, and a single point of accountability from concept to completion.

Custom Engineering, Not Cookie-Cutter Solutions

Every Kemko building is custom-designed for your specific needs and local conditions. Our experienced sales team works closely with you to understand your requirements – because we know a buyer rarely gets what they need from pre-priced kit lists. We engineer for south Alabama’s climate, soil conditions, and wind loads, ensuring your investment meets all local codes while delivering maximum value. The result is a building that’s precisely right for your purpose, not a generic structure adapted to fit.

Based in Daphne since 1965, we’ve designed and erected thousands of buildings throughout the Southeast, serving industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential customers with the same commitment to quality and personal attention.

We believe every customer deserves a custom solution, which is why we engineer each building specifically for your needs and local conditions. At Kemko, we’re big enough to handle any project but small enough to know your name and ensure your satisfaction.

FAQ

Yes. We specialize in repairs and modifications, as one of few true metal building experts, but only if we deem the building suitable. If we did not originally construct the building correctly, then there is only so much we can do retroactively. Our deep understanding of how metal buildings are engineered allows us to accurately assess and fix structural issues that are viable.

No. All KEMKO buildings are custom-designed to fit your exact needs. We don’t sell generic kits because we believe every project deserves a tailored solution that’s built to last.
