The Process We locate old barns which are unwanted, yet still structurally sound enough to be given a new life. Then we look for someone like you to give the barn a new home. Once we successfully match an old barn to a new owner we carefully document, label, dismantle and deliver the barn to its new home for reassembly. Whether you want to add an addition to your current home, build a new home or business, or simply reuse an old barn as a new barn we can help you find that perfect old timber framed piece of American History. Here are the ways we can help you proudly own an early timber framed structure: Inquire about the details on the dismantled frames we currently have available in our inventory for immediate delivery. In order to help you decide if a frame we have is exactly what you are looking for we offer the following:
These frames, while already disassembled, are available to view. Please call or E-mail for details and to make a viewing appointment. Through agreements with the current land owner we secure a barn and leave it standing until we have a buyer for it. This is the ideal way to view a barn in its vernacular setting. Standing barns that we offer for sale have been surveyed and photographed to supply you with as much sight-unseen detail as possible. Barn Search If we don’t have a frame that meets your needs, you can give us the details of what you are looking for and we will keep your desires in mind as we look at prospective barns. Call us today with details on the frame of your dreams. Barn Preservation The best kind of barn is the kind that is still standing proud, serving it’s intended purpose on its original sight! There is a special feeling when you pass by a well cared for barn that may be over 200 years old and is still storing hay and a wagon under its solid roof. If you have a barn that you are interested in keeping in service, we can perform repairs to ensure your barn lives on for you and future generations to enjoy. Misc. Barn Timbers and Barn Board Often times a barn reclamation job will yield some timbers which cannot be reused in the rebuild of the structure. These timbers, sometimes of hand-hewed oak or even chestnut, make beautiful decorative additions to your home such as fire place mantles, faux beams in a living room for that “rustic look” or furniture made from re-sawn boards. Old heart pine planking and siding as wide as 18” is not uncommon on old barns and makes fantastic redecorating material. Please call or E-mail for availability on loose timbers and boards. |
