Summary of Operations & Kit Home Offerings

Barn Pros is a Washington-based designer and manufacturer of home and barn kits. Their timber home kits include barns, homes, garages, arenas, and even combination barn homes. Their service area encompasses the entirety of the U.S. This is made easier by the fact that they only sell designed & engineered plans + a kit of structural materials.

Design Overview

Their product offerings include a range of combination apartment-barn structures in addition to a series of barns & shops. When selecting a model from the online store, buyers have the option to purchase or modify components of their home such as interior layout, lighting, siding, and cupolas. So while they are unable to accommodate fully custom requests, buyers have the option to slightly modify a model. This also includes the option to select the size of their barn or barn home.

Build Process & Timeline

It is worth noting that Barn Pros is a kit manufacturer rather than a modular or panelized manufacturer. This means that buyers receive all necessary components for the home in pieces that need to be assembled on-site. As such, buyers must hire a third-party contractor to assemble the structure, or DIY-inclined buyers can assemble the kit themselves for potential cost savings. For residential models, their line of barn apartments, buyers & contractors must source those materials locally and complete interior finishes themselves.

Depending on the project and the location, Barn Pros can typically deliver engineered plans and structural kits in 2-5 months from the order date. The actual completion of the structure depends on the local contractor’s schedule and local permitting timelines.


Factors to Consider

Strengths

  • High-quality timber construction

  • A unique barn aesthetic

  • Layouts are based on a grid system that reduces the need for internal load-bearing walls and increases the possibility to personalize layouts

Reasons they might not be for you

  • You are looking for a home in a more finished state

  • Their barn-based designs are outside of your aesthetic preferences

  • You want to work with a turn-key home provider that handles all stages of the project themselves
