Sawyer Metal

Sawyer Metal in Tyler, Texas has spent more than 40 years supplying metal roofing and pre-engineered steel building kits to East Texas. The company manufactures panels and components on its own equipment and cuts every kit to order, so buildings arrive sized to the customer's measurements rather than in fixed configurations. Its catalog covers residential metal structures, commercial buildings such as warehouses and boat storage, and the parts in between: R-panels, purlins, entry doors, skylights, and metal privacy fencing.

The process is straightforward. A customer or their contractor consults on the project, Sawyer produces a custom kit within 1 to 3 days of receiving measurements, and the building goes up as a bolt-together assembly rather than a weld-up job, which keeps erection accessible for contractors and capable DIY builders. Metal roofing carries a 40-year warranty.

Sawyer is a member of the Tyler Area Builders Association and the Better Business Bureau, and it keeps a physical office in Tyler for in-person visits. As a shell and kit supplier, Sawyer fits barndominium projects where the owner handles or hires out the interior finish. Buyers wanting turnkey living-space construction would pair a Sawyer kit with a separate finish-out contractor.
