Professional welder that takes great pride in every weld I make and in everything I repair or build. I physically cannot walk away from my work until it’s 100% complete and up to my standards as well as yours. PERFECT is my standard and nothing less. I just restarted my business after taking some time off to take care of some family matters. All of my work previously was by word of mouth, I never advertised. I did 1 job and I think they bragged to the whole world because I ended up getting more work than I could handle. Every client after did the same. My work always speaks for itself. I promise to always do quality work with my safety as well as yours in mind. I can weld practically every process known to man (TIG, Stick, MIG, Fluxcore, High Frequency TIG, Oxy/Acetylene). I am proficient in all alloys (Carbon, Stainless, Chromoly, Inconel, hastalloy, Aluminum, Titanium, Nickel). Been welding professionally for 28 years. I’m very skilled in X-Ray pipe welding and structures.

"It went pretty good.  I had all the materials for them to use.  The kick plate was too tall.  Will need to find the right size.  The front door has a crack in it, which I thought would fill in with the wood filler.  It was in a bad spot, so when the stain was applied, it did not fill in. I will clear coat it, add the kick plate & insulation.   I will have John will come out again - will look at his coupons & get a list together.  Definitely need the porch light replaced soon.  We also discussed a possible electrical issue with the porch light - seems the builder /electrician (1988) may have connected the front light switch with the hall bathroom & bedroom lights.  I was glad that John was able to schedule me, it was 2 months!   John & Wayne were very nice & I will call again soon! "

"John did an awesome job adding a shutter to our house that the builder left off. He also added new interior doors to our chicken coop which turned out amazing. Give him and he will get anything you need taken care of!"

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Your foundation contractor will first need to remove the topsoil and any vegetation within 4 feet of the area around the barn. They’ll need to ensure they have clear access to the site to begin excavation, after which they can begin construction.

Skid foundations, deck block foundations, and concrete block foundations are the most affordable shed foundation options. Of these, we recommend deck blocks. Deck blocks are easy to install and level, and they raise your shed up off the ground to prevent rotting from exposure to water and moisture. Keep in mind that deck blocks won’t resist soil movement or frost heave, so they’re not ideal in areas with expansive soil or a deep frost line.

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.
