"We are so happy with the work Brett and others on his team did to help restore our older home after a flashing leak. He did a great job repairing ceiling and walls in bedroom, built a closet and closet organizer, and painted amongst other odds 'n ends. But even more than that was the knowledge and willingness to help us get our home healthy and safe. He helped us identify and solve insulation issues in the attic. Very knowledgeable and super happy we found them."

"The final product is good and the price was good. The structure all seems to be high quality and with double pane windows it can hold the climate or out well as needed. With screens all around we can let the air move through when we want. The design process was a good experience, but we were not warned that our decisions in dimensions would result in difficulties with regulations and the electrical work. The lack of communication between sub-contractors during the process resulted in several delays. There were times when we were told there would be hand-off and it didn't happen until we prodded them. We kicked it off in the early spring and it didn't complete until August. Early on, the delays were unavoidable due to weather and ground conditions but after the foundation was in it took to long to complete the structure. The problem is not specifically the total time to complete but being left with very little time to replace the yard and driveway before winter."

"When Mike came out to give me a quote, he told and told me he would get back to me in a week and could probably finish part of the work in the next two weeks and start the full remodel within a month. That was in January, and I'm writing this review at the end of March. I called him several times and finally caught up with him about a month ago, when he said he had had some family issues and would get back to me soon. But he never did. I spent time cleaning my house, speaking with him, writing him an email with all the details of my project, calling references, and waiting months for an answer. The very least he could have done was said he wasn't interested in the project."

For years TruBuild has been making peoples dreams a reality. No job is too big or too small for us! We do everything we can to make sure our craftsmanship and communication beats our competitors. We are a family-owned business and will treat you like our family every step of the way.

"We hired Cain to do work in our basement in November 2024, in January, he informed us that they were not doing any work any longer and the money we gave him as a down payment would be returned in a few days, it is now April and we have not seen those funds returned. We have found out since that he has a history of taking money under one company name, then stopping after he has your money and opening a new company name. We will be filing a claim against Cain and his companies to recover the money he has taken. We have contacted him many times and not received any response from him. This is a buyer beware company. I would look for someone else before working with him again"

Shed, barn or playhouse building services FAQs

Pole buildings use heavy vertical posts that anchor into the ground to support the structure, with supporting columns attached to the tops of the beams to hold the roof in place. Construction is fast without sacrificing significant support or reliability. Different types of post-frame buildings can include optional flooring or walls.

The benefits of using a post‐frame construction method are clear: it delivers significant cost savings by eliminating the need for a full foundation. This approach provides sturdy support with in-ground posts while cutting material and labor expenses. In fact, the method delivers 40% cost savings relative to metal building methods, making it an excellent economic choice for constructing barns, sheds, or playhouses with enduring stability and efficiency.

The durability of a pole barn is proven by its lifespan of 40 to 60 years and the potential to reach 100 years with enhancements. Reinforced with metal components and maintained diligently, these structures deliver lasting performance. In contrast, stick-built buildings offer durability for 60 to 80 years but require more extensive construction, making pole barns a reliable long-term investment when properly upgraded.

The best foundation for a pole barn depends on its use and budgetary restraints. Most homeowners and builders use a concrete cookie pad, which is the most affordable option while still offering stability. Perma-columns, which are precast concrete columns that keep wood out of the ground, are usually the most expensive, longest-lasting option. They can prevent posts from rotting.

Financing a pole barn with a traditional mortgage is not possible because lenders do not approve conventional home loans for these structures. Homeowners must explore alternative financing or specialized credit options. Pole barns require additional considerations such as increased insulation costs and specific permit requirements, so funding these projects demands thorough research into alternative loan structures to secure the investment.
