A place to live and a place to work under one roof: the shop, the garage, and the living space you actually want, framed in wood and built to house standards by a licensed Delaware home builder.
The basics
What is a barndominium?
A barndominium is a post-frame building with finished living space inside it: a home and a shop, garage, or barn combined under one roof. It can be a full house with a workshop attached, or a comfortable apartment over the garage. Because part of it is a place people live, the living space is engineered, permitted, and finished to the same code as any Delaware house.
Why a licensed home builder matters
As a licensed Delaware home builder, we construct the residential portion of your barndominium to the same standards as any house; from the footings and framing to the insulation, electrical work, and inspections. The result is not simply a workshop with living space added. It is a comfortable, code-compliant home built to be financed, insured, and enjoyed for generations.
IllustrativeWays to build it
Full living + shop
A complete home on one side, a working shop or garage on the other, sharing one roofline and one build.
Apartment over the garage
Keep the garage below and finish a full apartment above: a guest suite, an in-law setup, or a rental.
Shop now, finish later
Build the shell and rough in the living side now, finish the interior when you're ready. Planned as one build so nothing has to be redone.
Priced by conversation, not by calculator
Every barndominium is a custom home, so accurate pricing starts with understanding your plans. We will discuss how you want to use the space, review your design priorities, and walk your property before preparing a detailed quote.
You can use our Barn Builder to explore the size, shape, and exterior of your building. Once you are ready to discuss the finished living space, we will provide a complete, no-cost quote based on your vision and property.
