Pole barn homes use the same post frame construction as our barns and garages, finished inside as a comfortable place to live. CHA Pole Barns builds from Quarryville, Lancaster County, PA, and works with homeowners across Pennsylvania and neighboring states on post frame homes that fit their families and their land.
These homes are often called barndominiums, or shouses when a shop and a house share one roof. Many people choose them because the open span inside gives them freedom to lay out rooms, and a garage or workshop can sit under the same roof as the living space.
Begin with your land, local zoning and building codes, since a home has stricter requirements than a storage building. Then think about how many bedrooms and baths you need, whether you want a garage or shop under the same roof, and where windows and porches will catch the light and the view. Talk with us early about which parts of the project we handle and which your other contractors will finish.
Comfort depends on the building envelope. Plan insulation, ventilation and moisture control from the start, along with plumbing and electrical runs. Our article on choosing the perfect layout for a pole barn home walks through floor plan ideas.
Siding and trim colors, wainscoting, porches, windows, entry doors and cupolas let you give your home the look you want, from classic farmhouse to modern. For more detail, read Pole Barn Homes and Barndominiums: What You Need to Know Before You Build.
