Our Work
While PHN Services and GetABuilding.com are willing to give just about any project a try, our primary focus is the manufacturing and selling of custom portable buildings, coverings, carports, and garages.
We take time to understand the needs of our customers and help people find quality solutions. Ted’s varied background in the sales, construction, and transportation industries makes him uniquely qualified to assess the wide array of challenges that come his way. Tracy’s years of experience in volunteering, caregiving, customer care, and project management means that you’ll be treated like a million bucks.
One of the things Ted has always said in business is that he does not have competitors: “I am the only me there is.”

Why Shelby, NC?
Shelby has been home to Ted and Tracy for the past twenty-five years. Though they originally didn’t plan on making Cleveland County home, it’s been a great place to raise a family.
They think Shelby is not too big, nor too small. Geographically, it's in a great location for business: close to the mountains, close to Charlotte, Greenville, Spartanburg, and Columbia.
GetABuilding.com is one of the most established building dealers in the Shelby, NC area and was established in 2003.
The Story Behind a Dollar Bill
Below is a story, told by Ted, about one of our early days in business. This is a customer we’ll never forget!
“A woman came in to purchase a carport for her adult daughter with Down's Syndrome. The daughter enjoyed swimming in the family pool, however the medication she was on prevented her from being in the sun for long periods of time. So the customer asked if we could put a carport over top of their swimming pool.
I do like a challenge. So we did figure out a way to install the carport over top of their swimming pool.
As we wrapped up the project on the jobsite, the daughter came to me with a dollar in her hand. The mother asked her what she was doing. The daughter with Down’s said she wanted to pay us for the carport. Of course, the mother encouraged her daughter that she didn't have to pay, but I told the family that I was happy to take this daughter’s dollar, so she could also feel invested in the project. Everyone left smiling, with full hearts.
Now, this dollar hangs in our office as a reminder that every single customer matters.”
