SEMA booths built by people who actually fabricate

SEMA fills the Las Vegas Convention Center November 3–6, 2026 with the most build-literate audience in the trade show world. Your booth is judged by fabricators, tuners, and shop owners — so it had better be built, not assembled. Steadfast Displays welds, machines, paints, and finishes SEMA booths in our own Las Vegas shop, fifteen minutes from the show floor.

SEC. 01 — WHY US

Why SEMA exhibitors choose us.

SEMA crowds know the difference between real fabrication and rented aluminum. Our in-house metal work, automotive-grade paint, and precision millwork give your booth the same build quality as the products you’re showing.

Vehicle displays engineered properly — ramps, turntables, riser platforms, and safety rated structures that put cars at the right height and angle, with load calculations documented for show services.

We’re local to the LVCC year round. Move-in for SEMA is one of the toughest of the year; our crews work it every November, and the shop being up the road means day-of fixes happen in hours.

SEC. 04 — QUESTIONS

Straight answers for SEMA.

Can’t find yours? Ask us directly — real answers, not runarounds.

Q/01How early should we book a SEMA 2026 booth?
Custom SEMA builds should be locked by August — fabrication runs 6–8 weeks and October is consumed by crating and move-in. Rentals can be configured into late September. If you’re reading this late, call anyway: rush builds are possible at 3–4 weeks.
Q/02Can you build vehicle display structures?
Yes — engineered ramps, risers, and turntables with documented load ratings, built in our metal shop. We coordinate vehicle move-in timing and placement with show services so your build rolls in without drama.
Q/03How much does a SEMA booth cost?
Custom 10×20s typically run $15k–$40k; islands with vehicle displays start around $50k. Rentals are all-in: $3,500–$6,500 for a 10×10, $7,500–$14,000 for a 10×20, and $16,000–$40,000 for islands, including graphics, install, dismantle, and freight.
Q/04Do you handle SEMA install and dismantle?
Yes, with our own crews who work the LVCC every November. Targets, drayage, rigging, teardown — handled. And exhibiting at AAPEX the same week? We cover the Venetian Expo too.
Q/05Can the same booth work SEMA and other shows?
That’s the smart play. We design modular structures that reconfigure between SEMA, PRI, and your regional circuit, store the booth at our Vegas facility, and swap graphics per show.
Q/06What finishes hold up to SEMA scrutiny?
Automotive-grade paint, powder coat, brushed metal, and real wood veneers — finished in the same shop that does our client showroom work. SEMA attendees touch everything; we build for that.
