Kind Words From Our Happy Customers!
Built for How You Want to Live
From shop/living combos to full primary residences, we design and build barndominiums around your property, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Shop / Living Combo
Our most popular configuration — a functional workspace or garage on one side and finished living quarters on the other. Everything you need under one roof without sacrificing comfort or functionality.
Primary Residence
A fully finished barndominium built to residential code that functions as your primary home. Open floor plans, high ceilings, and custom finishes give you a living space that feels nothing like a traditional house — in the best way.
Guest Quarters / In-Law Suite
Add a finished living space to your property for family, guests, or rental income. A barndominium guest suite gives you a fully independent structure without the cost of traditional home construction.
Hobby Farm Dwelling
Live close to your land, animals, and equipment in a structure built for rural property life. Combine living space with storage, animal care, and farm operations in one practical, durable building.

Thinking about building a barndominium on your property? Here are the questions we hear most often from customers across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, answered by our team with 60+ years of combined pole building experience.
A barndominium is a pole building structure designed and finished to function as a living space. Think of it as a barn-style shell built with the durability and structural advantages of pole construction, finished on the inside to meet residential code — giving you a home that's uniquely yours with a lot more flexibility than traditional stick-built construction.
It can be — and that's the number one question we get. Barndominiums typically cost less per square foot than traditional homes because the pole building structure is faster and more efficient to build. That said, the final cost depends heavily on size, interior finish level, and site prep. A basic shell will be priced very differently than a fully finished living space with custom features. The best way to know what fits your budget is to request a free estimate.
The most popular configuration we build is a shop/living combo — a functional workspace or garage on one side and finished living quarters on the other. It's an incredibly practical setup for property owners who want their home and workspace under one roof without sacrificing comfort or functionality.
Unlike a standard pole barn or garage, barndominiums vary significantly based on how you plan to use the space. A shop/living combo with two bedrooms and a two-bay garage will be a very different footprint than a full primary residence with a large workshop. We work with you to figure out the right layout and dimensions before anything gets designed or priced.
Yes — we handle everything from the structure to the finished interior. You don't need to coordinate separate contractors for framing, insulation, electrical rough-in, or finishing work. We manage the full build so your project stays on schedule and on budget from start to finish.
Yes — we manage the permitting process for projects across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Barndominium permits require more detailed submissions than a standard outbuilding, but that's our job to handle — not yours.
Timeline varies more on barndominiums than any other project we do because the interior finish level makes a significant difference. A basic shell builds faster than a fully finished living space with custom features. We give you a realistic timeline during the estimate process based on your specific plans, site conditions, and chosen finishes.
