TOTAL NIGHTMARE.......you are so lucky to find these reviews and save yourself the heartbreak and headache in working with these crooks! I won't write a novel but the salesman constantly called and pressured me for a credit card to get the process started....it was obnoxious! Next, the plans took forever and they told me the plans would likely be accepted by the County because they had experience: NOTHING could be further from the truth! There was no foundation plan, they had to re-do the plans repeatedly and it would take months going back & forth with the County and waiting for Barn Pro's to respond In the end, Barn Pro's left me hanging....they actually told me that the situation got so bad with them needing to hire a new draftsman/engineer that they blew my project off, stopped caring and focused on newer customers and making fresh money. Barn Pro's insisted that I take delivery of the building material.....that was a nightmare as the shipping company came, without notice, a day late and it was raining. Despite covering the materials and keeping them in the shade, the beams twisted, warped and went bad. The barn finally came out well but the contractors I hired are the reason for that. As for Barn Pro's, they have a great website with fake reviews, just look how many people on Yelp are hating on them! All true! Take the pics and hire your own local draftsman....avoid these crooks like the plague!!! read more

If I could leave no star's I would. I have never had a barn and have waited 19 years to build this one. I was just super disappointed with the building process. If you have wood that is damaged or not up to par you have to jump through hoops to get it resolved while your crew is on the clock and waiting. Also to get the barns you see in their online photos you will have to spend up to $10,000 in additional cost. After months of frustrating conversations and emails my barn is done. It has only been two months and I am already having issues with the wood on the outside cracking. To them is not uncommon. I love my barn but the additional cost to get it to look finished was stressful and way over budget. I guess I am just disappointed that they won't stand behind their product. read more

Barn Pros(?) Review I bought the 24x36 Pioneer plan from Barn Pros. I am very handy in construction ( built a house, decks, remodeling, etc) therefore I did not hire a contractor to do the work. My requirement was that the structure could sit on a ground level "deck" supported by versalams. In my presales discussions I was assured that that would be possible, so I ordered the kit and plans. When I received the plans, the foundation required the 12 10"x12"x26' upright beams be sunk 3-4' into concrete pads and that I have 4' frost walls at two opposing corners. During their scheduled follow up call with the salesman and engineer they told me to ignore that part and proceed as discussed. I asked the engineer how to secure the posts to the deck and he told me to use Simpson ties. After excavation and installing 12 4' ready cast pylons and building the deck (think about the work, time, and money involved), I could not find the the appropriate ties so I asked the engineer for a suggestion. Now he says, you can't use them and they have to be sunk into concrete per the plans. Wow! So they where either lying to me or incompetent, either of which is unacceptable. I called BS and sent the emails to their management. After a conference call that was not optimistic they said they would confer with their engineers and get back to me. After a week or so they got back to me and said no, I have to follow the plans. They admitted fault, probably since I had proof in writing, but I had to demand compensation for their mistake. They laughingly offered me $1500 (escavator, pylons, decking, labor) but I was able to get them up to $3000 which was not even close to the wasted material and labor...not mention I had to undue all of that and start over. And beyond the waste, following their plan added tremendous cost to the project that I did not budget for. Further along into the building of the barn, I came across several problems with the drawings. Several areas where just not readable i.e. Intersecting lines that should be hidden were not...try making sense of that. Three drawings needed to be cleaned up and resent. My son in law is in grad school for architecture. He brought a copy of my plan to school for his professor to review. His assessment was that those drawings would not pass Architecture 101. Additionally, I required a higher snow and wind load, so some of my wood dimensions needed to be increased. Yet on the drawings they called for the smaller dimensions. Apparently they are working from a template and update it based upon the required loads, but "missed" a few of them. Shoddy architecture. Then, for one example of many, there are dozens of short uprights that hold the purlins in place. They came precut but I noticed that they sent me 2x8s instead of 2x12s. I called the engineer and he said don't worry about it, use the 2x8s. Really? Not believing that bs, I had to purchase 2x12s and cut them all myself. If 2x8s are acceptable why does the plan call for 12s? His response was either incompetence, being cheap, or a cya that a mistake was made. All unacceptable. To summarize: - Lying and/or incompetence presales - Unwilling to fully compensate for their mistake - Poor drawings - Wrong material supplied - Lastly, through all this, all the sales rep could do was nag me for pictures. Clearly an inability to empathize for a poorly handled customer. (Hey, we screwed you through this whole process, but would you send me pictures so we can advertise them?) read more

After we purchased all the pieces we needed for our remodel (to the tune of about $50,000.) and had them delivered, we had one question, but for the life of me could not get them to call back after at least 12 or more phone calls....... Horrible follow up. read more

Worked with a sales man over a period of time to build one of their barns ( Olympic model ). We were having some issues with permitting and feasibility and asked up front what happens if we cannot build. Very jolly "oh no problem we will work with you and figure things out." Long story short we were not able to build the barn and they would not offer any refund of a significant deposit. A very strong statement to me that it is clear that the deposits are unrefunded - they went against good faith and I felt lied to. read more
