Texas Rebuilt Barn Homes

One trend in many rural areas is to convert an existing barn into a barn home.  For example, enterprising Texas landowners are converting agricultural barns into unique and comfortable homes.  This trend increases with the end of government some allotments.

Even if no barn exists on the land it is still possible to add an “old barn” – if the landowner has the money.  J4 specializes in finding and providing actual barn frames, design assistance, and construction for people who want to build unique barn homes. This builds on the fact that landowners are demanding more energy-efficient (i.e., greener) homes.  This approach uses recycled materials from all parts of a barn – including frame, siding, flooring, roof, beams, and foundation stone

This approach starts with reclaimed historic barn frames as the “core” feature of a barn home.  Incorporating barn wood adds charm and beauty, as well as the character of vintage lumber. Different woods blend well with the overall theme of a barn home.

This style of barn home can encompass the entire spectrum from rustic to modern.  The reclaimed lumber does save trees – as well as the energy and costs of milling and producing new wood.  However, they are also the most expensive alternative.
