Al Garber
Barndominium Specialist
Al's roots in the construction industry run deep. Al began his construction career as a young man at the age of 16. He set out to be the best in his field and with his combination of skills, smarts and determination was quickly the foreman of the crew. Within 10 years, Al saw a need in the community and with the skill set he had accumulated, he decided to branch out and form his own company.
Al was quickly recognized as one of the best builders in the area, building a wide variety of custom homes for satisfied customers. In the downturn of the 2008 housing market, Al pivoted and began to build post frame buildings and again became quickly recognized as a premier builder of post frame structures.
With a growing family in an economic downturn Al needed to build a bigger house. While not fully realizing what it could become, Al decided to mesh a shop and living area into one building. Acting on his needs and skills he built what is now widely considered a barndominium.
Since 2009 Al has sold and built millions of dollars worth of post frame buildings and barndominiums. When Al isn't in the office you can find him surrounded with family or tending to his cattle on his farm.

Shawn Beechy
Production
Shawn began his career in the construction industry working two jobs in Ohio. Shawn framed houses for a large contractor during the day and worked the night shift building mini barns in a factory.
After framing houses for only a few years his character proved that he was worthy to be a foreman. After his family moved to Missouri, Shawn began building post frame buildings. While his work ethic is second to none, he takes great pride in his customer service and attention to details. His charming personality makes him a natural people person.
When Shawn isn't in the field building structures, he enjoys hunting.
