Custom Post Frame Homes
Post frame is not just for barns. PNW Post Frame builds the shells for custom post frame homes across Eastern Washington and North Idaho, engineered for our climate.
Post frame construction can be used to build a full home, not just a shop or a barn. The same efficient framing that makes pole buildings affordable and quick can carry a finished residence, and it leaves plenty of room for the insulation that keeps a home comfortable through an Inland Northwest winter.
Why Consider a Post Frame Home
Lower shell cost than comparable stick built construction
Open floor plans without interior load bearing walls
Deep wall cavities for high performance insulation
Fast to get under roof
Easy to combine with a shop or garage, which is where the barndominium comes from
What We Do
We build the engineered, weather tight post frame shell that your home is finished inside. We are glad to talk through how interior finishing and systems fit in and how to coordinate the full project. Every shell is sized for the snow and wind load at your site.
