About Legacy Steel Buildings
We’re not a broker. We’re not a hotline. We’re a contractor-first team with decades of real-world experience — delivering factory-direct steel buildings with honest pricing, custom design, and builder-grade service from day one.
40+ Years of Experience
From barndos to warehouses, our team has built it, fixed it, and finished it. We speak builder — not sales talk.
Licensed In-House Team
Architect, engineer, GC, designer — our people are on staff, not outsourced. That means faster answers and fewer delays.
No Middlemen. No Fluff.
We keep overhead low and pricing fair — no sales layers, no commission games. Just what you need, priced right.
We Think Like Builders
We ask the right questions up front and don’t oversell. We help you get the job done — smarter, faster, cleaner.
Colorado Turnkey Available
Need the whole package? We handle design, permits, concrete, build-out, and finishing — all under one contract.
Custom or Simple — We Do Both
From a two-bay garage to a two-story barndominium, we design to your goals — with guidance you can trust.
Meet the Founders
John Barber
If there’s one thing John Barber knows, it’s how to build — and how to help others do it better. With 40 years in the steel building industry, John has worn nearly every hat: top-producing recruiter, division leader, brokerage founder, and now president of Factory Steel Overstock. He helped build some of the industry’s most successful dealer programs from the ground up, and his commitment to value, honesty, and customer-first service has never wavered.
Today, John brings that legacy of integrity and performance to Legacy Steel Buildings — delivering smarter systems, fair pricing, and real results to contractors nationwide.
Sean Hakes
With two decades of hands-on experience in steel building marketing, lead generation, and contractor support, Sean Hakes is no stranger to the grind. As the founder of Dream Home Innovations — a Colorado-based design/build firm — Sean has worked across every layer of the building process, from architectural planning to digital strategy and creative development.
His superpower? Combining modern marketing with real-world construction savvy. At Legacy, Sean’s mission is to empower builders with better tools, clearer communication, and a partner that actually understands the field — because he’s been there.
Why We Founded Legacy Steel Buildings
After decades in the industry, we’d seen it all — the sales gimmicks, the missed delivery dates, the “inventory in stock” that didn’t exist, and the painful silence after the deposit clears. Too many steel building suppliers treat customers like transactions. They don’t check local codes, they skip the due diligence, and they leave the burden of permitting, prep, and specs entirely on you.
We founded Legacy Steel Buildings because we knew builders — real builders — deserve better. We set out to be the partner we wish we had: transparent, communicative, and accountable from day one. No games. No ghosting. Just factory-direct steel, engineered right, priced fair, and delivered with integrity.
Whether you’re managing your own project or need full turnkey support, Legacy exists to make your build smoother, smarter, and more successful — every time.
What’s Next: The New Era in Steel Buildings
Legacy Steel Buildings isn’t just a supplier. It’s a movement — and we’re just getting started.
We’re scaling a national dealer network with zero fees, real support, and the kind of no-nonsense service contractors have begged for over the last two decades. We’re helping builders across the country level up — and delivering barndominiums, garages, shops, arenas, and commercial kits with quality that speaks for itself.
We’ll never be the biggest. But we’ll be the best at what matters: showing up, delivering, and making sure your client says “hell yes” when the project’s done.
No gimmicks. No quotas. No BS. Just real buildings, built the right way — with builders like you.
Let’s Build Something That Lasts
If you’re tired of the excuses. If you’re done with the bait-and-switch. If you want a real partner in this business — someone who knows the terrain and gives a damn about your reputation — it’s time to work with Legacy.
No sales scripts. No empty promises. Just good steel, smart design, honest service, and a team who’s on your side.
