What do you get when you cross a barn with a condominium? A barndominium! Also known as “Barndos”, these new and popular constructions provide modern benefits in addition to the tried-and-true amenities of traditional home building. These cost effective and low maintenance designs are perfect for combining housing and workspaces together under one roof. Built of either steel or wood post framing with metal roofs and siding, these alternative living spaces offer versatility, functionality, energy efficiency, and unique aesthetic qualities. Make your dreams come true with custom barndominium construction with S.T.O.M. Contracting, the best in the bluegrass out of Richmond, Kentucky.
Fast, efficient, and practical
The possibilities are endless with barndominium construction with S.T.O.M. These structures offer an excellent combination of design options, comfort, efficiency, affordability, and functionality. There are many reasons why you should build a barndominium with S.T.O.M. Contracting. Here are just a few:
- Safety – These structures are safer from the risk of fire and weather destruction than regularly built homes. They can withstand extreme weather and fire when constructed with steel framing.
- Open, flexible floor plans – It is possible for the interior walls to be easily maneuvered and adjusted to your specific designs, which creates many options in terms of flexible layout design.
- Maintenance – Save money on upkeep. Barndominium constructions are easier to maintain because of their sleek design, steel siding and roofing, and efficient layouts.
- Prevents pests – Termites, carpenter ants, bees, wasps, and other insects cannot burrow into metal siding to build their homes.
- Extra tax credits – Qualify for potential tax credits and deductions because of the energy efficiency and overall safety of barndominiums.
- Structural integrity – There is less need for foundation maintenance due to the overall structural integrity of steel frame construction.
- Low utilities – Steel and metal buildings with quality insulation are extremely energy efficient. Many barndominium dwellers opt for solar energy as the roof provides an excellent staging site for panels.
- Longevity and durability – Barndominiums provide resistance to mildew, mold, insects, rodents, rot, and fire because of their predominantly metal construction.
- Affordability – Labor costs to construct are cheaper due to the speed of the build out process. Fewer materials are needed to build a barndominium. Clients can save up to 12% difference over the cost of a building a traditional building.
- Extraordinary speed of build – It’s easy and fast to build a post frame and steel building when compared to traditional building methods.
- Better insurance rates – Payments may be cheaper with barndominiums due to their additional ability to withstand weather and fires. Bandominiums offer less liability than a typical home or building.
