Sell Steel Buildings. We Handle the Steel.
Add engineered steel buildings to your lot or business without buying inventory, hiring crews, or learning engineering. You bring the customer relationship — we bring the product, the install teams, and 8+ years of doing this across the Southeast.
A note before you apply: we add a limited number of dealers, by area, on purpose. Protecting the customer experience — and the dealers already in the network — matters more to us than signing everyone who fills out a form. If that sounds right to you, you're probably our kind of partner.
Recent installs by our crews — the same teams that will stand behind your name and your customers.
The building business, without the building risk.
Most people who'd be great at selling steel buildings never start — because they think it takes inventory, crews, and engineering knowledge. It takes none of those. It takes a partner who already has them.
Zero inventory investment
You sell from our full catalog and pricing — carports, garages, barns, workshops, and commercial. Every building is fabricated to order. Nothing sits on your books.
You sell. We engineer, deliver, and install.
Engineered prints, permit-ready drawings, delivery, and professional installation crews are all on us. Your job ends where the heavy lifting begins.
Financing & rent-to-own close the deal for you
Buyers who can't write a check today don't have to walk. Financing and RTO options turn "I'll think about it" into a signed order — the single biggest closing tool in this industry.
A brand customers can verify
When your customer Googles us, they find 2,600+ delivered buildings and a 4.8★ rating — not a mystery wholesaler. Your reputation is only as strong as the brand behind your quote.
From application to your first sale.
Apply
Four quick questions, about two minutes. No documents, no commitment — it just tells us who you are and where you'd sell.
Review call
If the area and fit look right, we schedule a call within two business days. You interview us as much as we interview you.
Onboard & train
Pricing, quoting, the product line, and how orders flow from sale to install. You'll know exactly how to sell this before you ever quote a customer.
Sell with backup
Your first deals don't happen alone — our team works them with you until quoting and closing feel like second nature.
Everything behind the dealer, itemized.
No vague promises of "support." This is the actual stack standing behind every Southern Garage dealer.
Selling
- Full catalog & dealer pricing — every size and configuration we build, priced and ready to quote.
- 3D design tool — customers configure their building and see it before they buy. Deals close faster when they can see it.
- Financing & rent-to-own programs — ready to offer on day one, paperwork handled.
- Marketing assets — photography of real installs, spec sheets, and materials that make your operation look as professional as ours.
Operations
- Engineered drawings — stamped, permit-ready prints for your customer's county. We've been through these inspections for years.
- Delivery & professional install crews — the same teams behind our 4.8★ rating handle your customers' builds.
- Order tracking & scheduling — you and your customer always know where the build stands. No black holes.
- A direct line to our team — dealers don't wait in the customer-service queue. When you call, someone who knows your accounts answers.
Who this is for — and who it isn't.
A strong fit
- You run a lot or storefront with road visibility — sheds, trailers, equipment, farm supply, outdoor structures.
- You're a contractor or installer whose customers already ask about garages and shops.
- You answer your phone, follow up, and treat a customer's money like your own.
- You want a real second revenue line, not a get-rich-quick scheme.
Probably not a fit
- You're looking for passive income with no customer contact.
- You plan to compete on being the cheapest quote in town. Our buildings win on value, not on being the bottom price.
- You're not able to give it real attention. A dealership that goes dark hurts customers, and we'd rather hold the territory open.
The straight answers.
What does it cost to become a dealer?+
There's no franchise fee and no inventory to buy. Buildings are fabricated to order, so you're never holding stock. Your investment is your time, your location, and how seriously you work your market.
Do I need experience with steel buildings?+
No. Onboarding covers the product line, pricing, quoting, and how orders flow from sale to install. What we can't train is work ethic and honesty with customers — that part you bring.
Who handles delivery and installation?+
We do, with the same professional crews behind our 4.8★ Google rating. You never need to hire installers, manage builds, or touch a wrench unless you want to.
How do I make money?+
You earn on every building you sell. We walk through the exact structure, numbers, and payment schedule on your review call — in writing, before you commit to anything.
Is my area protected?+
We deliberately limit dealers by area rather than stacking them on top of each other. Availability in your specific area is the first thing we check when your application comes in.
How fast can I be selling?+
Most dealers go from application to quoting their first customer within a few weeks — the pace mostly depends on how quickly you move through onboarding.
Four questions. Two minutes. No commitment.
Applying doesn't obligate you to anything — it starts a conversation. Here's exactly what happens after you hit submit:
We check your area. Dealer availability in your market is the first gate — if it's taken, we'll tell you straight.
Review call within two business days. Numbers, expectations, and your questions — everything in plain English.
You decide. No pressure on the call and none after it. If it's not right, no hard feelings.
