Pole barns & garages

Detached structures, oversized garages, equipment barns. The kind of build Montana ranchers ask for, finished to suburban-residential standards.

Outbuildings are where contractors most often cut corners — the structure is detached, hidden behind the main house, easier to skimp on. We build outbuildings to the same standard as the main residence. Pole barns properly engineered for snow load, oversized garages with proper insulation and finish-grade interiors, equipment barns with the kind of doors and hardware that don't fail in season three.

Pole barn engineering

Pole barns look simple. They're not. Snow load engineering, post embedment depth, truss spacing, and the connections between truss and post are the difference between a building that lasts forty years and one that comes down in the first heavy storm.

Garage finishing

Detached garage on a Bellevue lot or a Tacoma North End property — we finish them to residential standards. Insulation, drywall, electrical to code with the panels you'll actually want, epoxy or polished concrete floors, and the kind of garage doors that operate quietly twenty years from now.
