See What Our Past Customers Have To Say About Heritage Restorations

We adore our “Heritage Barn” and we proudly show it off on all occasions. We have had it included in house/garden tours. And it has been part of an article written about its surrounding gardens and will soon find it’s way into a coffee table book on Connecticut gardens. It has been the sight of family parties, benefits for our philanthropic causes and many other occasions. In every case, each person walking into the barn is rendered speechless!!! We are now hanging contemporary art there to show it off against its beautiful walls. Our barn is truly a work of art and it has been a joy doing this project.

We purchased a Dutch Barn frame to form the heart of our home in Telluride, Colorado. From beginning to end, we had a wonderful experience with Heritage Barns. We watched the men from Heritage raise our frame after a big snow storm. It was wonderful to watch these talented craftsmen carefully construct our frame. Our home is now complete, and we could not be happier. Every room has exposed beams, constantly reminding us of the history of our structure and the talent and care taken by Heritage to make it possible.

We could not be happier or more pleased with our barn and our working relationship. The barn has transformed our business. The project turned out great and now the barn is the number one reason people choose our facility for their functions.

M. M. - Barr Mansion Dutch Barn, Austin, TX

Just a note to say how impressed I was with your crew that erected our barn. It was refreshing to see a team of craftsmen work in unison with honor and pride. Throughout the process every detail was addressed and every question answered with a smile. They certainly exceeded my expectations.

R. P. - Fairhope, AL

What can I say but our deep thanks to you and the Heritage Team for a most unique place and a process that was more fun, so carefully managed and so above our wildest dreams. We could not have imagined those beams we saw in Waco, hewn 250 years ago, could become such a overwhelmingly beautiful environment and so rich in history. We are thrilled!

We recently had a wedding for 150 in the barn and people are still talking about the absolute beauty of the beams and frame and the "specialness" of being inside such a place. Keeping the authenticity of the original design and construction (for the most part) has made the barn "a place": of history, of fun and entertainment and a place just to be. We spend every night we are home in the barn so our main home is rapidly becoming our guest home! (:

Your team was amazing from our first discussion about "should we build a barn?" through the construction process. Steve, Tony and the rest of our architect/builder team feel as we do. How many times in a construction project do the team so significantly exceed expectations coming in on budget and ahead of schedule. And your team that we hosted at our home during the 'barn raising', couldn't have been more respectful, appreciative and fun.

We look forward to doing another one!

Our Heritage Barn experience was pleasant from beginning to end. They did what they said they were going to do when they said they would do it. It was an exciting experience and we love the barn. We also became friends with the folks at Heritage Barns.

B. W. - Fredericksburg, TX

What an inspiration to watch you and your crew of 6 work in perfect harmony together raising the barn on a very hot, hot day in middle Alabama. We could not be more pleased with the end results. Your crew were all so polite, kind, efficient, and professional. Thank you for everything you did for us. We will be happy to highly recommend the Heritage Restoration Company. In great appreciation,

A. F. - Selma Lake Retreat, Selma, AL

Having Heritage Restorations here to put up our barn is a family memory like no other. We are truly blessed to have this barn. The beams and workmanship are remarkable. The whole process was smooth and rewarding. We hope to do it again.

C. K. - Helotes, TX

The barn is everything we hoped it would be. It is fabulous. It has set a magnificent tone for the rest of the project! I just want to personally thank everyone at Heritage for the wonderful experience we had with your company. Keep up the great service.

B. & S .H. - Riverbend Barn Home, Medina, TX

The products and services provided by Heritage Restorations could not have been better. In addition to the barn frame, we ordered stairs, counters, and additional beams. [The Heritage Restorations staff] was always available and provided excellent, timely, and professional advice. We are extremely pleased with our barn project.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are There Different Types Of Barns?

    Yes. One of the wonderful things about barns is that no two are the same. While a barn's frame usually follows one of several traditional designs, there are variations in its overall size, wood species, and the timbers' girth.


    The farmers who used them, the craftsmen who built them, and the region in which they are located all play their part in making each barn unique. 


  • Is it Difficult To Turn a Barn Into A Home?

    No, not at all. There are unlimited options available when transforming a barn into a home. Some ideas include using multiple brands to build your house, adding a loft, and using conventional framing to add to the barn frame.

  • How old are your barns?

    Most of our barns were built in the 18th and 19th centuries and range from 125 to more than 250 years old. Many even pre-date the American Revolution of 1776.
