Every year we have a higher percentage of our customers interested in complete barn restoration, or partially restoring and returning their barn back to its original condition.
Restoration of barns involves many areas, including stone foundations, sills, barn straightening, frame repair, wood wall sheathing, and milled batten strips. We custom fabricate Dutch doors, slider doors, operable window units with barn sash, and fixed or operable barn louvers either in pine or cedar. Doors may also be covered in colored flat metal.
Most barns have milled batten strips, which are no longer available. By using special cutters, we custom produce our own to match the original profiles, both front and back in 2&1/4” widths. These batten strips cover the vertical joints of our 1x12 x 7/8” pine wall sheathing.
Generally when a dairy barn is being converted to accommodate modern needs for horse usage, the basement posts and king-beams do not match horse stall sizes. We can relocate the posts with new masonry bases, change king-beams and reinforce the mow floor framing. We turn 100 year old timber frame barns into usable modern horse barn, while maintaining the barns heritage.
Sad to say, many times a barn is going to be demolished. If the structure is in good shape, we have the ability to dismantle the structure, store on site, or relocate and erect the barn on another site. If interested, call or write to check our inventory.
