Creating Homes From Barns

One of The McKernon Group’s favorite projects involves salvaging the timber frames of Vermont barns and rebuilding them for clients who are looking for an ambiance that cannot be duplicated. These historic structures were raised with a level of skill, materials, simple tools and labor, and it is estimated that Vermont loses over 100 of them each year from lack of upkeep.

Salvaging a barn is a labor of love. It is taken apart piece by piece, numbered and rebuilt elsewhere. The end result is entirely unique and the ultimate in building a green structure. These frames can be used for great rooms, additions, businesses and barns and we can size them to accommodate your design.
