Right across the river from our Green Island headquarters, Rensselaer County is home turf. We build steel buildings from Troy and East Greenbush out to the farms of the Hoosick Valley.
Rensselaer County runs from the urban Hudson riverfront in Troy and Rensselaer up onto the Rensselaer Plateau and east to the Vermont and Massachusetts lines. Closer to the river we see demand for commercial storage, service buildings and light industrial space; further east, agricultural buildings, equipment storage and workshops dominate.
Because the plateau towns — Grafton, Berlin, Petersburg, Stephentown — sit much higher than Troy, snow and wind exposure change quickly as you head east. Pre-engineered steel handles that well, and we size each frame to the conditions at your site.
Main routes we use to reach Rensselaer County job sites: I-90, Route 7, Route 4, Route 2 and Route 22.
These are the steel buildings we're asked for most in Rensselaer County. If your project isn't listed, call us — if it can be built in steel, we can build it.
Clear-span layouts with dock or drive-in doors sized to how you move product.
Tall doors and open floors for tractors, trucks and the equipment you rely on.
Durable, low-maintenance steel engineered for Upstate weather and farm use.
Tall eaves and wide doors for boats, trailers and RVs, with room to grow.
Heated shop bays, office space and yard storage in one efficient building.
We offer two proven systems, so you get the building that fits your use, budget and timeline — not the one a single manufacturer happens to sell.
Heavier rigid-frame steel for larger commercial and industrial buildings — warehouses, manufacturing, distribution and multi-use facilities.
Light-gauge steel that bolts and screws together — no welding — for garages, shops, barns, storage and smaller commercial buildings.
We build pre-engineered and cold-formed steel buildings throughout Rensselaer County, including:
