Barn Restoration

After a century or two of hard service and exposure to the elements, many of America's barns and historic agricultural buildings are suffering from structural damage brought on by decades of sustained neglect. Long experience with repairing these type of timber framed buildings allows us to understand and efficiently address their needs. Fitzgerald's Heavy Timber Construction, Inc. is the full service timber frame specialist, furnishing appropriate solutions for historic barns by combining traditional craftsmanship and technical innovation. We operate our own sawmill so that we can control the quality and availability of the timbers that we use. To protect the barns we restore, we provide complete sheet metal roofing services as well. For historic barn restoration projects experienced management enables us to control costs, deliver projects on time and to produce work which is worthy of the master joiners of the past.
