While we'd love to save and preserve every barn and granary out there, we understand it is not always practical for any number of reasons. We can create great heirloom tables, mantels, and other furniture from your family's old building. Beautifully designed and hand crafted to your tastes and needs.
Here's some pictures of table that we recently created with a customer's wood...

I have been doing restoration and repair, tuck pointing, on many old barns for the past several years. I specialize in foundation repair, replacing stone and tuck pointing. Located just across the Mississippi River in Pepin, WI. The majority of barns I have done are close to the river area, but I have been as far as Iowa, west of Minneapolis and north of Eau Claire. My website has a page specifically devoted to barn restoration with pictures of past projects.
