Testimonials


After doing research and speaking with John and the staff at Valor Steel we began the process on our new shop. We were very impressed with the entire experience and workmanship of Valor Steel. We could not have asked for a better building or experience. Highly recommend.
Christine Allen

Easily, the most honest and fair metal building company on the Gulf Coast. They've done two structures on my parent's land. We have zero complaints. Big John and Allen know what they are doing and the customers matter to them. Would recommend them to all my friends and family.
Keith Singler

We had Valor install a building on our property. I'm very happy with the quality of materials used and the construction. The team Valor sent were very professional and explained in detail any questions I had during the construction process. I would highly recommend Valor Steel Buildings!
