Pole Barn Repairs, Options & Additions – Genesee

Genesee sits in the grain country between Moscow and Lewiston just off US 95, and most older pole barns out here do not need to be torn 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 – built for the open wind and harvest dust on the Genesee prairie.

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 on dryland wheat ground north toward Moscow, south toward the Lewiston Hill, and out along the county roads toward Uniontown and Nez Perce County. If you want more square footage, better organization, or a tighter envelope, we will design it, frame it, and finish it clean – code-compliant and tailored to your Genesee site.

Popular Pole Building Additions (More space, more function)

Lean-tos & Overhangs

Open or enclosed lean-to additions for covered equipment parking off gravel farm drives, grain truck staging out by the elevators, or shaded work areas on the edge of the fields. We match existing eave height and panel profile so it looks like part of the original plan.

Lofts & Mezzanines

Create lofted storage or a partial second level for seed, parts, and seasonal gear so you can clear the floor for service work during planting and harvest. Engineered for loads and safe stair or guard details.

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 for farm and trucking operations
• Garage + shop combos: partition walls, fire separation where required, tool and parts storage
• Barndominium prep: interior framing, rough ins, envelope upgrades for future living space close to the home place

Door & Window Upgrades

Taller RV or equipment doors, drive through bays, added man doors, skylights, or extra windows for daylight in deep bays.

Concrete & Floors

Slabs, thickened edges, footings, interior pads, drains, and aprons – poured for how you actually use the building, from service bays for farm equipment to clean storage near town. Concrete work can be packaged with your Genesee project.

Exterior Finishes

Metal siding and roofing in durable colors that fit Palouse farmland is our standard. Want a more finished look near the house or along the main approach road? Add LP SmartSide or fiber cement wainscoting and trim – we skip vinyl.

Comfort & Protection

• Insulation with spray foam, batt, or hybrid systems, air sealing, and ventilation for winter work in the shop
• Snow guards, gutters, and condensation control to keep interiors dry and usable through Genesee winters

Use-Case Ideas (Mix & match to fit your property)

What are some common Pole Barn Questions We Hear from local Genesee residents?

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 on Genesee farms, especially for combines, grain trucks, and equipment that currently sits out in the yard.

How do you fix rotted posts at the base?

We expose the problem area, sister or replace posts, add uplift anchors, and reestablish plumb and bearing before backfilling and flashing for long term performance on the prairie.

Can you convert part of my pole barn into living space or a barndominium?

We can frame interiors, upgrade insulation and air sealing, and plan rough openings so you have a code aware path toward future living or office space near your existing buildings.

Do you pour slabs and interior pads?

Yes – slabs, footings, and interior pads can be included so doors, drains, and equipment bases land right the first time.

Will this hold up to Genesee winters?

We design and retrofit for snow load and wind using engineered components, proper fasteners, closures, and ventilation sized for open country winds between Moscow and Lewiston.
