My entire building experience with Morton was nothing but outstanding. My salesman was great and the building crew was always polite, professional and answered all my questions courteously and with simple facts for me to understand.

Morton Buildings recognizes that a superior building is best accented with an outstanding paint coating. That’s why Morton offers the FLUOROFLEX paint system. FLUOROFLEX 1000 provides superior protection against fading, chalking, paint peeling and red rust. Because it resists the effects of ultraviolet rays, rain and pollution, it retains color and gloss far longer than standard consumer or commercial paint coatings. Morton is proud to offer a 35-year warranty for most colors against chalking, fading and peeling of FLUOROFLEX 1000.

benefits of a morton metal garage building
Whether you need a metal garage building for a second vehicle, guest or children’s vehicle parking, or to store a boat, tools, lawn tractors, UTVs, motorcycles, work truck, bus, RV, or just need extra workshop space, Morton can deliver a strong and durable building to meet your needs and style.
Second and third generation owners will tell you their Morton buildings look like new after decades of use. From foundations to fasteners, every detail is designed for minimal maintenance. In fact, the reason we offer the industry-leading warranty is because Morton buildings:
- Use FLUOROFLEX® paints because they resist moisture and UV light
- Won’t corrode or rot because of treated wood, true stainless steel screws and rust-resistant ring shank fasteners
- Stand strong against high wind and snow loads
- Eliminate leaking and condensation build-up through roof pitches and ventilation systems
- Control condensation and thereby protect insulation from moisture and sagging
Compared to steel structure garages, our post-frame buildings are highly engineered and structurally sound with truss to column attachment options that can be customized to your load requirements and climate conditions.
Insulated Morton buildings are more efficient than other types of steel structure garages. Additionally, Morton offers ways to make your energy dollar stretch even further with ENERGY STAR® components and the Energy Performer® insulation system.
Also, our type of construction is fast in many ways. First, you can begin any time of year, as weather-related construction delays are rare. Once you begin, the amount of time it takes to get “under roof” is approximately half what you would normally expect from other construction techniques.
From the smallest fastener to the trusses overhead, Morton leaves absolutely no detail to chance. If we’re going to put our name on it, we’re going to make sure it’s done right. That’s why we employ the people who manufacture the building materials, deliver them to your site and construct your building. It’s the only way we can assure you the high-quality, energy efficiency and “new building look” that defies time—guaranteed.
