Repair, re-roof & renovation
Most old pole barns are worth saving. Some are not.
Post rot, failing roofs, loose siding and sagging headers, repaired across Douglas County. We will tell you straight which one you have.
Start here
We look at it before we quote it.
Repair work is the one thing you cannot price over the phone. Rot hides, and what looks like a roof problem is often a post problem that has been getting worse for a decade. So we come out, get on a ladder and tell you what is actually happening.
Sometimes the honest answer is that a repair is throwing money at a building that has eight years left. We will say that out loud rather than take the job.
- Post rot and structural post replacement
- Re-roofing and metal roof repair

Know what you are looking at
Four signs your building needs attention now.
None of these get better on their own, and all of them get more expensive the longer they sit.
The doors stopped lining up
Doors that used to close and now bind are usually telling you the building has moved, not that the door is bad.
Soft wood at ground level
If a screwdriver sinks into a post near the dirt, the rot is further along than it looks from outside.
Daylight through the roof
Backed out fasteners and failed closures let water in long before you see a drip on the floor.
Condensation every winter
Water dripping off the underside of the roof is a ventilation problem, and it is quietly rusting everything under it.

Not sure if it is worth repairing?
Send a couple of photos and your zip code. If it is close, we will come out and look at it properly before anyone talks about money.
