Mountain-Ready Construction

Building barndominiums in Colorado requires specialized expertise to handle our unique terrain challenges and weather extremes, capabilities we've perfected through years of mountain construction experience.

Our engineered trusses are specifically designed for heavy snow loads common in areas like Woodland Park and Westcliffe, while our foundation systems adapt to sloped properties without excessive site disturbance. We incorporate additional structural reinforcements for high-wind resistance, ensuring your barndominium stands strong through Colorado's most severe weather conditions.

Every barndominium features our signature construction standards including 8-foot eave-side post spacing, treated skirt boards for moisture protection, and 29-gauge metal roofing that sheds snow efficiently while maintaining its appearance for decades. These proven methods result in structures that outperform traditional construction in both durability and maintenance requirements.

Rapid Construction Timeline

One of the most compelling advantages of choosing a barndominium is our ability to complete the shell structure remarkably fast, getting you into your new space sooner than traditional construction methods.

Our efficient post-frame construction process has enabled us to complete barndominium shells in as little as six working days, as testified by satisfied clients throughout our service area. This speed doesn't compromise quality – Reuben personally ensures every connection, every fastener, and every detail meets our exacting standards regardless of timeline.
