"Larry from Innovative Design and Construction seems to know exactly what a Job Requires! His expertise in the Architectural and Design Field along with a Background of Building Homes, Makes him the Go To Guy! Larry is a Licensed Contractor and that made me feel good that he knew exactly what I needed! Companies frighten me when they need to check a Computer Application to tell me how long the job will take and a General Forecast of Materials To Be Bought and Used. Larry told me the Job would take an hour or less, Quoted me a Price and was here Johnny on the Spot and the Exact Time HE Told Me! To Find an Honest, Professional, Qualified, Reliable and Trustworthy Contractor is Worth His Weight In GOLD! Kudos to Larry and his CREW!"

Pole Barn Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.
