Notable Achievements
Our Story
Since 1999, Keen’s Buildings has been a trusted name in portable storage sheds, metal garages, carports, pole barns, and steel buildings across the Southeast. What started as a single Live Oak, Florida lot has grown into a multi-state operation serving more than 75,000 customers — without losing the family-owned feel.
Our journey is built on quality, customer service, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Every building we sell is engineered to exceed local wind and snow load requirements, installed by trained crews, and backed by a 20-year warranty. We believe a steel building should be the easiest big purchase you ever make — not the hardest.
“I’ve personally signed off on every building style we sell since 1999. If it doesn’t survive a Florida hurricane season, it doesn’t go on our lot.”– Kevin Keen, Founder & President

What Makes us Different
At Keen’s Buildings, we do things a little differently — and that’s a good thing. We’re all about making life easier by delivering strong, dependable buildings able to withstand extreme weather conditions without the hassle of traditional construction.
Need a garage, carport, barn, shed, or just some extra space? We’ve got you covered. We have reduced lead times in the metal building market by 90%. Our steel structures are prefabricated off-site, then delivered and assembled quickly on your property. Pre-built and custom designed sheds also show up ready to place — no construction mess, no waiting around.
But what really sets us apart is how we treat our customers. We make it easy to get the building you need with flexible payment options like Zero Down Financing, 0% APR for 24 Months, and Rent-to-Own with no credit check — no complicated hoops to jump through.
For years, we’ve taken real feedback from customers and used it to create buildings that are tougher, more weather-resistant, and made to last.
More than 75,000 people have trusted Keen’s. We’d love for you to be next.
Keen’s Buildings — Real People. Real Quality. Ready When You Are.

“Compared three dealers. Keen’s was the only one that walked me through wind ratings, anchoring, and warranty in plain English. Easy decision.”— Daniel R., Waycross, GA
