"I had major water damage to kitchen, laundry room and closet. Complete tear out of floors, right down to the studs. This company treated my home like it was theirs. His years of experience he was able to give me options that I hadn't even considered. I am over the top happy with the end result. Mr. Megerell and his workers were professional, friendly and very considerate of the job being done. I would definitely have him do work for me in the future."

He was very respectful of my elderly mother and hung plastic barrier up also to help cut back on the dust through the house. which was very much appreciated. He has also helped us move, and snow plows for us - we have been very pleased and his prices are reasonable"

"BJ did a great job. He did 3 bathrooms at 2 different houses for us, all turned out great. He also installed a fence around a large backyard at one of those houses which turned out fantastic. In addition, he worked on many projects at the houses because we were getting one ready to sell and the other ready to move into. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.
