Converting Barns
Converting barns is no easy feat. It requires insect fumigation. It requires extreme care to maintain the structure. Many of these barns were built in the 1800’s or early 1900’s without modern living amenities. Many homeowners then decide to add plumbing, heating and air conditioning and electricity. Adding each of these major components to a structure like an old barn, takes specific skills. However, if you love the loft style look with a piece of history, a barn style house just might a home for you.
