Services
Portable Buildings
Wood and steel portable buildings provide versatile solutions for storage, workshops, and small living spaces. Constructed with pressure-treated runners, triple-studded corners, and durable roofing materials, these structures withstand harsh weather while offering customization options like lofted designs, windows, and multiple finish choices. Ideal for residential and commercial applications requiring reliable, long-term storage or functional workspaces.
Steel Buildings
Custom steel buildings offer superior durability with 2"x 3" boxed tube 14-gauge US Steel framing and 29-gauge steel roofing panels. Designed for garages, workshops, and protective carports, these structures resist pests, moisture, and warping. Available in various sizes and configurations with roll-up doors, ventilation systems, and color options to match functional requirements and aesthetic preferences.
Greenhouses
Polycarbonate-panel greenhouses create controlled environments for year-round plant cultivation. Features include proper ventilation systems and durable construction to support both hobby gardening and larger-scale growing operations. Structures maintain temperature stability while providing protection against weather elements for optimal plant growth conditions.
Custom Buildings
Custom steel buildings engineered for specific applications across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Collaborating with Sturdi Steel Buildings, we deliver structures with precise dimensions, interior layouts, and exterior finishes. Options include insulation, climate control systems, and specialized door/window configurations to meet unique functional requirements while maintaining structural integrity.
Grading Services
Professional grading ensures stable foundations through debris removal, soil compaction, and proper drainage planning. Services prepare sites for building placement by creating level surfaces that prevent structural shifting. Drainage solutions direct water away from foundations, reducing erosion risks and extending building longevity through proper ground stabilization techniques.

Needed a replacement piece for a carport they installed for me a few years ago. The were very response, a lot of companies do not want to deal with small orders. Replacement piece arrived quick, was reasonably priced and well packaged. We've been using the guys from McGuire's for years. Nick and his team have gone above and beyond on every project.

From start to finish this had to be one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had. When they delivered my building it was in perfect condition and built much stronger than I ever anticipated. The young man who delivered and set it up, from what I understand, has only been doing it for just a little over a month or so but you would never know that from his abilities. He was professional and did the job as if that were going to be on his property. From the purchasing experience to the final delivery I cannot rate this business any higher!

We shopped several places in the area, and I actually liked this companies sheds, overall they seemed decent and actually cheaper in price. I did not like the salesman at all though. I'm a firm believer in customer service, as I come from the hospitality industry. Due to that reason, I took my business to the other guy in town who is actually pleasant and acts like he wants our business!

My wife and I comparison shopped all the major shed companies in the area, and McGuires definitely had the cheapest prices. They also by far had the cheapest quality sheds around. We opted to go with Handihouse of Jonesboro, and glad we did.
