"Paul is conscientious, thorough and professional. In addition to installing door trim and crown molding for our living and dining rooms, he also replaced the flooring and trim in and on our barn. The work was done efficiently, completed on time and was cost-effective. It looks great. We would definitely call on Paul for any future need. We recommend him highly."

"Adam and his guys have been available for small and quite large projects and always pleased to be of service. Have recommended them to a number of friends. He’s done everything from painting and repairs to helping clean out my unwanted items when I moved recently. Actually I called him for everything and anything that needs help around my condo for nearly 8 years. The best, and neatest ever! Carolyn."

"The job went very well. The person that I spoke to in the office, John, was very knowledgeable, reasonable and helpful. I inadvertently sent the deposit to the wrong address. John didn't complain or change our scheduled install date. When I needed to delay the install (wasn't able to prep the site in time), he accepted it without any complaint. They built the shed on time, and didn't let recent rains affect our spot on the schedule. The builder Bob, was very pleasant and did a quick and professional job. Both Bob and John did a great job and were quite professional: they returned phone calls quickly. So, I do recommend this company."

"Superb! I can't speak highly enough about the quality work and honest pricing Jim and his team does. Jim goes above and beyond. Not only did he fix and complete remodel of 2 bathrooms that was originally botched by a shady contractor that I had to fire, he hauled away the junk that was sitting in my garage from the shady contractor for weeks and cleaned and organized my entire garage in the process! Your search for a contractor stops here with Jim Callahan!"

Pole Barn Builders questions, 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.

The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

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

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.
