THE PROCESS
"e company looks at approximately
four hundred to !ve hundred structures
a year but will only acquire about 10
percent of them because not all barns
can be restored for use as functional
homes. So the ones that are used are
given the attention they deserve—from
start to !nish.
“"ere’s a tremendous amount of
expertise and care that goes into the
dismantling process,” Tittley explains.
“We take the barn down, literally piece
by piece, and label every single piece.
We then put them on a truck and
ship them to one of our two locations:
Waco, Texas, or Big Timber, Montana.
From that point, we put together shop
drawings, which will allow people to see
the basic dimensions of the frame and
how it would lay out. We also have a lot
of examples on our website of !nished
projects so people can get a sense of
what they can accomplish with the
building. When clients reach out to us,
we start to assess their hopes and dreams
for their home and try to pair them with
a barn that may be a good !t.”
