First Choice Metals

First Choice Metals is a metal panel manufacturer rather than a construction firm, with a plant in New Boston, Texas and a 2nd location in Adel, Georgia. The company roll-forms steel roof panels, metal siding panels, and trim accessories for the shed, carport, and pole barn industries, which makes it a materials source for barndominium projects rather than a builder that erects them. Product lines include Ag-Panel, PBR Panel, Standing Seam, Board and Batten, and skylight panels, with custom trim profiles in 26 and 29 gauge steel and panels cut to the specifications of each order.

Orders ship directly to job sites, wrapped in plastic for transport protection, and order fulfillment runs through the company's own software. First Choice Metals states it staffs its locations with regional sales teams rather than call centers, and a direct sales manager stays with each order through delivery. Markets served fall into 3 groups: residential work such as barndominiums, farmhouses, and garages; commercial and retail buildings including offices, storage, churches, and hangars; and manufacturing facilities such as warehouses and distribution centers.

Builders and owner-builders sourcing panels for a barndominium shell can order custom cuts from either the Texas or Georgia facility.
