Do you really work as far as the Shoals?
The owner confirmed RBC serves about a 100 mile radius of Blountsville, and Florence is near the edge of it. The drive is longer, so call early to talk about scheduling and details.[2]
Tennessee River city and the Shoals
Steel buildings in Florence, from the riverfront to the university district
Florence is a long drive from Blountsville, but RBC Buildings serves a wide radius and the Shoals area is part of it. This page covers what makes Florence distinct and what that can mean for a new building.
We have one office, in Blountsville. We do not have an office in Florence.
What Florence builders and owners ask
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
I own a small business near downtown. Can steel serve for a shop or storage building?
Commercial metal buildings are used for shops, storage and service space, and commercial turnkey work can include workmanship warranties. The fit depends on your lot, so describe the site.[2]
Is a metal roof sensible on an older historic home?
Some owners of older homes choose metal roofing for durability, and colors can be tested before you decide. Properties in historic areas may have extra review, so ask the city first.[2]
What about outbuildings on land outside the city, toward the river?
Properties outside the center often use pole barns for equipment and hobby space. Low ground near water calls for good site planning, which is worth talking through.[2]
A river city with a deep history
Florence is the county seat of Lauderdale County and had 40,184 residents in the 2020 Census. It sits along the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama, and its founders named it after Florence, Italy.[2]
A city this size has everything from campus and downtown buildings to farm and edge-of-town properties. Commercial lots may want warehouse, shop or office space, while outlying properties often ask about pole barns and equipment sheds.[2]
