Steelsmith Inc engineers, fabricates, and erects pre-engineered metal buildings and design-build steel structures in Kent and throughout Portage County, delivering every project from concept to completion. Headquartered in Pittsburgh and building nationwide since 2007.
Kent's Trusted Steel Building Contractor
Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Steelsmith Inc has been building steel buildings in Kent, OH and across Portage County since 2007. We are a full-service commercial construction company specializing in pre-engineered metal buildings, steel construction, metal roof replacements, and complete design-build services.
From warehouses and distribution facilities along the I-76 and Route 43 corridors to manufacturing plants, agricultural buildings across Portage County, churches, fire stations, auto shops, and commercial storefronts, our team manages every phase in-house: design, engineering, fabrication, and on-site erection.
Because every building is engineered for its exact site, you get a structure built to Ohio Building Code requirements and the snow and wind loads specific to the Kent area, backed by a single accountable partner instead of a national call center.

Kent Steel Building Questions
Do you serve Kent and the surrounding area?
Yes. We serve Kent and all of Portage County, including Ravenna, Streetsboro, Aurora, and Brimfield. We engineer and erect pre-engineered metal buildings across Ohio and Pennsylvania, and we also build nationwide.
Can a steel building handle Kent winters and snow loads?
Absolutely. Every Steelsmith building is engineered to the snow, wind, and structural loads required for its specific location and the applicable Ohio building codes, so it performs reliably through harsh Portage County winters.
Do you help with permits and engineered drawings?
Yes. Our design-build process produces the stamped, code-compliant engineered drawings needed for permitting, and we're familiar with Ohio Building Code requirements and municipal processes in Kent and throughout Portage County.
How much do steel buildings in Kent, OH cost?
Cost depends on size, intended use, site conditions, finishes, and current material pricing, so there's no one-size-fits-all number. The best way to get an accurate figure is a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your project, and most are returned within 24 hours.
What types of buildings do you construct?
Commercial buildings, warehouses, industrial and manufacturing facilities, agricultural buildings, churches, fire and EMS stations, auto and service shops, sports facilities, and more, plus metal roof replacements and general contracting.
How long does a steel building project take?
Timelines vary with size, complexity, permitting, and site prep. After your consultation we provide a realistic schedule, and pre-engineered metal buildings often go up faster than conventional construction.
