General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
Can I add a shop beside my house in a small town?
A steel shop or garage is a common addition, and size depends on your lot. Ask the town about setbacks first.[2]
How should I think about storm safety when building?
Falkville has been hit by strong tornadoes in the past, so many owners ask careful questions. We can talk about how a building is designed, and you should check with local officials on requirements.[2]
Does RBC do metal roofing for old farmhouses?
Metal roofing and siding can go on existing homes and barns. We can discuss panel and color options.[2]
A farm town with a storekeeper's name
Falkville was named for Louis M. Falk, a Prussian merchant who came to the area in the late 1850s, opened a general store in 1859, and became the first postmaster. The L&N Railroad came through in the early 1870s, with a station opening in 1872.[2]
Falkville lies about 5 miles south of Hartselle with access to Interstate 65, and the land around the town is mostly rural. Properties like these often fit pole barns, equipment sheds, shops and small agricultural buildings. Your site and plans decide the final design.[2]
