History

Established in 1984.

In the summer of 1984, Steve Buyers (then a superintendent for Walker Construction), was servicing a job at DFW airport. Needing traffic control services, he hired a barricade company to handle things. Or so he thought.

Unfortunately, after three days of minimal help and zero service, Steve called the barricade company and in so many words was told «They would get to him when they get to him». Before Steve even hung up the phone, he realized that barricade companies were few and far between, and that choice and competition were sorely needed.

Within 24 hours, Steve started Buyers Barricades with nothing more than his ’65 Chevy pickup, a 16-​foot trailer and the vow to run his new business by the golden rule.

While we’re proud of our steady growth over the years, we’re even more proud of our unwavering dedication to our customers. Steve’s commitment to run a service-​focused barricade company — as strong as it was in 1984 — lives on as Shelba Buyers takes the helm. Everyone at Buyers Barr

Meet the Business Owner

Shelba J B.

Business Owner

Over the last eight years, Shelba has learned the business from the ground up. Often tasked with activities that are not very glamorous, she has helped build on the foundation that Steve poured back in 1984. Leading the company is only part of what makes Shelba special. As a breast cancer survivor she is a firm advocate for cancer awareness, which has led her to pursue a philanthropic lifestyle. From the Ronald McDonald House charity to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, Shelba gives her heart to many different organizations all in the name of paying it forward. Buyers Barricades has been a vital community partner, and Shelba pledges to keep it that way.
