Steel buildings for Center Point homes and lots
Center Point sits in northeastern Jefferson County, and many homes there were built in a short burst of growth. RBC Buildings in Blountsville serves the area with custom steel buildings and metal roofing.

A suburb built in one big wave
Center Point began as a farm community settled by the Reed family from North Carolina. It grew fast in the 1960s and 1970s, and the source notes that over 80 percent of the homes inside today's city limits were built between 1960 and 1970.[2]
That means many houses in Center Point are now more than fifty years old. If you own one of them, a new detached garage, workshop or storage building can add room without touching the house, and metal roofing is a common choice when an older roof is due for replacement.[2]

Questions from Center Point property owners
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
Can a detached shop fit on a typical older suburban lot in Center Point?
Many lots from the 1960s era have room behind the house for a modest shop or garage, but it depends on your lot lines and setbacks. A good first step is to measure the lot and check with the city or county permitting office. We can then talk through a building that fits the space.[2]
Is metal roofing a good fit for a house that is more than fifty years old?
Many homeowners choose metal roofing when replacing a worn roof on an older home. It depends on your roof structure and the look you want, so it is worth discussing the details first. Our color visualizer can help you picture options.[2]
What should I think about after a severe storm year like 2012?
Storm damage is a reason many people look at stronger roofing and well-engineered buildings. Our buildings are designed by experienced engineering professionals, and it is smart to ask your insurer and the local permitting office about your needs.[2]
Can I turn a back lot in Center Point into a barndominium site?
Some owners with larger parcels consider a barndominium, which combines living space with a steel frame. Whether it works depends on your land, utilities and local approvals. Call us and we can talk through the process in general terms.[2]
