Did you know that restoring old barns and implement sheds can be valuable? Not only do they preserve a piece of our heritage, but they also ensure that future generations can learn about our farming roots. Restoring a barn can also be a way to pay homage to the family and community members who built and maintained it. These structures are often made with high-quality materials not used in modern construction, allowing them to last for many years with proper care.

When determining a barn’s value, appraisers typically calculate the cost of replacing it and then adjust for past use to determine its current structural value.This barn was leaning pretty badly, and many of the posts were off the pillars. We jacked it back up, stabilized the pillars, and changed the bottom parts of most of the outside posts. Our team can and will save buildings that most people will not consider salvageable.

Metal roofs can now benefit from improved coating technology that offers better performance. Reflective coatings have been specifically designed to reduce the absorption of solar heat, which keeps the roof surface cooler. Metal roofs are highly durable and long-lasting, with a lifespan of up to 50 years. They are also highly corrosion-resistant, which means they require little maintenance and will last for many years.

Have you ever wondered why old barns are often painted red? It started in the late 18th century when New England farmers applied a protective varnish to barn surfaces containing linseed oil, lime, or iron oxide, which would turn to the familiar red ochre hue under the sun. Our professional staff is here to help you keep what is valuable to you.
