"Perfect. I enjoyed getting to sit in the storm shelters at their showroom to help with size selection. After signing up for the install, they connect you to an online portal to manage the contract and to update building permit number, etc. Installation was prompt and clean."

"Graber Post Buildings, Inc. 7716 N. 900 E Montgomery, IN 47558 (812) 636-7355 Graber Post Buildings was contracted to repair a 120 ft. section of our ridge cap/skylight on our horse arena and repair leaks. The roof and skylight was damaged by storms on December 23, 2015. They replaced the ridge cap with a plastic sky light. The same day they did some repairs on the roof to stop the leaks. The next time it rained the arena still leaked and was not any better. I contacted Rich Graber and he sent another crew out to repair the leaks. The next time it rained again the leaks were still the same and not fixed. Rich said the roof now needed replaced and there was no way to repair the leaks. My insurance company Allstate came out to inspect it. Allstate noted the poor quality of construction with the ridge cap. Allstate stated that: it is not the right material that should be used for a ridge cap, almost all the seals on it have failed, the plastic is buckled and warped, the foam is falling off, and the screws are not the correct screws and they are coming out. Allstate took pictures and said that the ridge cap is of such poor quality and construction they would not insure it if something happens to it. I went up on the arena that day with them and so did, Brent (Graber Representative). Brent verified what Allstate said, and he said he had no idea why it was doing that, and agreed it should not be doing that. I called Rich Graber and he said he did not believe me or Allstate and wanted to see pictures. I told him I would get him pictures, however, I needed to get them from Allstate. I emailed Rich Graber several times after our discussion and he did not respond to three out of my four emails regarding a status and his discussions with his representative Brent. He refused to speak about his talks with Brent and wanted pictures. So I got up and took my own pictures and sent them to him. He did not respond until I sent several more emails. He then said I was trying to put Brent against him. I said no, you didn’t believe me so, I figured if you talked to Brent he could verify it. Rich and I discussed the ridge cap and he said that is the only product he has to put up there. After discussing it further Rich asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I would discuss it with my insurance company and get back to him. I’ve asked him several times questions for an official response and he ignores me. Upon speaking further to my insurance company and other barn building contractors I decided this was not the craftsmanship or material I expected from Graber. Other barn builders agreed with Allstate regarding the ridge cap. This is a poor product and has failed in many ways. I do not trust their installation methods or their product. I sent Rich an email saying that I would like a refund after I had spoken to my insurance company and other barn building contractors. Rich did not acknowledge my request for a refund and sent another crew out here instead to inspect it. The Graber crew documented the same as Allstate did, and noted the seals had failed so bad, you could stick your hand under them. They also verified the severe warping of the material, screws coming up, foam inserts coming apart, and watched the videos I have taken of the leaks. I sent Rich another email requesting a refund and if he wanted a representative here when Allstate is sending an independent engineer to inspect it during the last week of July 2016. He never responded. After discussing the matter with other contractors and my insurance, I have decided that I want someone else to replace the ridge cap with proper materials and proper installation methods. I am requesting a refund of $2,275.00 that was paid in full. Graber Post Buildings Inc. responded to my complaint in a timely efficient manner. They were polite, understanding and sympathetic to the issues. They have resolved issues with my complaint and have satisfied any problems we had. Their care regarding the issues was conveyed in our discussion. I believe a company who responds like they have to my complaint is a company that does pride itself on customer appreciation."

"They came in and took the old windows out. They put in the new windows and made sure there were no leaks. After the job was completed, they cleaned up their mess and did not leave a mess for me to clean. I paid for the job and got my reciept before they left. <br />"

"The owner was very responsive to every question I had - got back to me promptly by email. The crew called ahead to confirm the time of their arrival - which was exactly when I had been promised. The process of erecting the shed went very well and they were extremely professional. The end product looks great and appears to be very solid. <br />"

FAQs for garage building service projects in Washington, IN

A well‑constructed, properly permitted detached garage adds between $12,000 and $36,000 to a home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate the secure parking, extra storage, and flexible workspace, so appraisers often bump the property’s value accordingly. The exact return depends on the garage’s size, finishes, and how well it matches the main house, but most homeowners see a strong ROI when the build meets local codes and passes inspection.

Yes—once it meets local building codes and you secure the proper permits, a detached garage can be converted into living space. Finishing the interior, adding climate control, and ensuring safe egress effectively increase your usable square footage, though it may not always count toward the official listing. Skipping permits can trigger fines and even force you to undo the work, so always clear plans with your city first.

Most homeowners policies cover a detached garage under the “other structures” provision, but coverage limits vary. Review your declarations page and ask your agent how much protection you have for separate structures. If the limit is lower than the garage’s replacement cost, you can raise it for a modest premium. Confirming the details now prevents headaches if you ever need to file a claim.
