Alabama's sixth-largest city
Hoover steel buildings from big lots to office parks
Hoover is large, spread across Jefferson and Shelby counties, and mixes office parks with quiet residential land. RBC Buildings serves the area with custom steel buildings.
We have one office, in Blountsville. We do not have an office in Hoover.
A city of fifty square miles
Hoover covers about 50 square miles in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and spans both Jefferson and Shelby counties. It incorporated on April 28, 1967, and was named for local insurance owner William H. Hoover.[2]
With that much ground, Hoover includes everything from the Riverchase Office Park to residential parcels on its edges. Commercial owners may think of steel for shops and warehouses, while residential owners may think of garages, workshops and metal roofing.[2]

Hoover property questions
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
Do you serve both the Jefferson and Shelby County parts of Hoover?
RBC serves roughly a 100 mile radius around Blountsville, which includes Hoover. Check with the permitting office for the county your parcel is in. Then call us about your project.[2]
Can steel serve a small office or warehouse business near I-459?
Steel buildings are used for many small commercial needs. The design depends on your use and the site. We can talk through general options.[2]
I have a larger lot in Hoover. Could a barndominium work?
On a larger parcel, a barndominium is a possibility. Utilities, zoning and your site shape the answer, so start with the city or county office.[2]
How can I see what a finished building might look like?
Try our color visualizer to preview colors on a building. It helps you compare choices before you decide.[2]
