Although they first began as just a materials supplier, Summertown Metals has expanded to become a full building contractor. They can build custom barndominiums in a 150-mile radius of Summertown, TN.
For those just looking for materials or build kits, they can deliver up to 300 miles from Summertown.
Summertown Metals Services

Summertown Metals can also create fully custom plans that include all of the features of the stock plans but give you complete control over the design.

Connie Nichols, Google review – “We chose Summertown Metals based solely on references. We did have a few issues with communication and concrete, however once we received a call and visit from Derek, All issues were resolved within a couple of days. Derek was extremely kind in making sure we were satisfied with our building. We can honestly say that Summertown Metals did an amazing job in fixing our issues and we are more than pleased with the outcome.” (4/5 rating)
Steve O., Yelp – “This is a mixed review. Summertown Metals has a quality product and I am happy with the service at the main office. On the other hand, the contractors they use are beyond shady. They will leave the job site a total mess and do not pick up anything. Also, the contractor doing the concrete is horrible. See attached. Bottom line – find someone else to do the installation and stay away from the concrete guys!” (2/5 rating)
