Custom Pole Buildings. Built Strong. Built to Last.
At General Construction Services Inc., we build high-quality pole barns designed to handle Idaho’s climate and last for decades. Whether you need a shop, garage, equipment barn, or backyard structure, we deliver reliable framing, clean finishes, and straightforward service from start to finish.
We offer full shell packages or framing-only builds based on your goals and budget.
Why Choose a Pole Barn?
Pole barns offer fast, flexible, and cost-effective square footage for all types of property owners. With fewer foundation requirements and easy customization, they’re ideal for:
- Garages and storage buildings
- Workshops and hobby spaces
- RV and boat shelters
- Agricultural barns and equipment sheds
- Multi-use outbuildings
Pole Barn Design and Construction Process
Every pole barn we build starts with a clear design and ends with lasting results. We begin each project by creating a custom CAD drawing tailored to your property and goals.
From building layout to door placement, we work with you to finalize the design before construction begins — ensuring your structure is functional, code-compliant, and built exactly the way you want it.
We use durable materials and sound construction practices to deliver clean, strong structures that hold up to snow, wind, and time.
Solid – Long-Lasting Pole Barn Framing
We build with laminated posts for a stronger, straighter frame that won’t twist or bow like solid sawn lumber. Engineered trusses, quality fasteners, and properly spaced girts and purlins complete the structural package.
Metal Roofing and Siding
All of our pole barns are finished with durable metal roofing and siding, available in a wide range of colors. Metal offers excellent weather resistance, low maintenance, and a clean, uniform look that holds up for decades.
We install all roofing and siding with matching trim, closure strips, ridge caps, and proper flashing to ensure long-term performance.
Pole Barn Windows and Doors
We install all man doors, garage doors, and windows as part of your pole barn build. Whether it’s a standard entry door, an insulated overhead garage door, or multiple vinyl windows for natural light, we handle the full installation with clean framing and weather-sealed finishes.
Optional Pole Barn Features
Additional features such as lean-tos, overhangs, partition walls, and concrete slabs can be included upon request to meet the specific needs of your project.
Every Pole Barn Build Done Right
From post layout to final trim, we focus on solid framing, clean details, and structural integrity. Your pole barn isn’t just another project — it’s a long-term asset on your property.

Pole Barn Repairs, Options & Additions – Latah County
Across Latah County – from the wheat ground around Genesee to the timber near Deary, Potlatch, and Troy – most tired pole barns do not need a full tear down to be useful again. We handle repairs, lean-to additions, lofts or mezzanines, interior build-outs, door and window upgrades, and full insulation + concrete improvements – tuned for Palouse wind, snow, and year round use in this part of north central Idaho.
From re-sheeting metal to post and truss fixes, from horse stalls and tack rooms to workshop finishes with power and heat, we upgrade barns and shops on acreage outside Moscow, grain farms near Genesee, company town lots in Potlatch and Onaway, and timber parcels around Deary and Troy. If you are ready to add square footage, organize the interior, or fix leaks that keep showing up after every storm, we will design it, frame it, and finish it clean – code-compliant and tailored to your Latah County site.

Popular Pole Building Additions (More space, more function)
Lean-tos & Overhangs
Open or enclosed lean-to additions for equipment parked off gravel farm drives near Genesee, RV and toy parking on country parcels outside Moscow, or covered work areas on timber ground near Deary and Troy. We match your existing eave height and panel profile so the new roofline looks like it belongs.
Lofts & Mezzanines
Create lofted storage or a partial second level to keep hay, seed, and seasonal gear off the main slab. Great for tight parcels from Potlatch Junction up to Viola, or for large farm shops that need organized storage zones.
Interior Build-Outs
- Horse barns and stables: stalls, aisle layout, tack rooms, wash bays, rubber matting
- Workshops: insulated walls and ceilings, 120 or 240V power, task lighting, compressor runs
- Garage + shop combos: partition walls, fire separation where required, tool and toy storage
- Barndominium prep: interior framing, rough ins, envelope upgrades so you can phase in living or office space
Door & Window Upgrades
Taller RV, camper, or equipment doors, drive through bays, added man doors, skylights, and new windows to catch Palouse views and daylight.
Concrete & Floors
Slabs, thickened edges, footings, interior pads, drains, and aprons – poured for how you actually use the building, whether it is a farm shop outside Genesee or a hobby shop near Moscow or Potlatch. Concrete can be bundled with your Latah County project.
Exterior Finishes
Metal siding and roofing in farm and timber friendly colors is our standard. Want a dressed up look visible from US 95, the Troy Highway, or SH 6 White Pine Scenic Byway? Add LP SmartSide or fiber cement wainscoting and trim – we skip vinyl.
Comfort & Protection

What are some common Pole Barn Questions We Hear from Latah County property owners?
Can you add a lean-to or overhang to my existing pole barn?
Yes – lean-to additions are one of the most common upgrades we build from Genesee and Moscow to Deary, Potlatch, and Troy, matched to your current eave height and roofline.
How do you fix rotted posts at the base?
We expose the area, sister or replace posts, add uplift anchors, and bring the wall back to plumb before closing with proper flashing and grade fixes for Palouse soils.
Can you convert part of my pole barn into living space or a barndominium?
We can frame interiors, improve the building envelope, and plan openings so you have a code aware path toward living, office, or shop space tied to your existing structure.
Do you pour slabs and interior pads?
Yes – slabs, footings, and interior pads can be included so doors, drains, and equipment bases land right on day one.
Will this hold up to Latah County winters?
We design and retrofit for snow load and wind using engineered components, proper fasteners, closures, and ventilation sized for Latah County conditions.
