Orton Companies designs and builds barndominiums in Monticello in Minnesota — living space, shop, and storage under one roof, detailed for Minnesota weather.
A shop-house in Monticello has to work as a home and as a building you can pull into. We plan the living layout with the bays, the doors, and the insulation so the structure is permitted for how you will actually use it. Design and construction stay with the same crew from the first sketch to move-in.

Monticello is a 15-to-20-minute haul from 19060 253rd Avenue — close enough that we schedule it with Big Lake and Buffalo work instead of treating it as a special trip.
Owners here split between in-town shops that need to look finished and rural buildings west and north of the city that need doors, drainage, and a slab that survives spring. We bid those as different jobs, not one catalog building with the city name swapped in.
Post-frame living works on Monticello-area acreage where a conventional house plus detached shop would cost more and take longer. We keep the living plan sound on insulation, utilities, and code.
What Monticello sites usually need
Monticello sits on the Mississippi and I-94, so we see river-adjacent drainage issues, highway-adjacent commercial lots, and township acreage in every direction. Access for concrete and truss delivery off county roads is part of the first site walk.

Minnesota work we do for Monticello owners
Finished buildings from the Big Lake crew — the same work we do for Monticello owners. When we complete a project there, it will sit here with the city and size.
Yes. Orton Companies designs and builds barndominiums in Monticello and throughout Central Minnesota — living space and shop under one post-frame roof.
Can you build a shop-house near Monticello?
Yes. Shop-houses with living space and garage or workshop bays are a regular build for Monticello landowners.
Do you handle the design and the construction?
Yes. The same Orton crew that draws the Monticello building can stand it up, so the living plan and the shop bays are one job.
Can a barndominium be a full-time home in Monticello?
Yes, when the parcel and the permit path allow living space. We confirm that before the floor plan gets expensive.
Do you work with Monticello owners on shops and barns?
Yes. City of Monticello and Wright County township parcels around Monticello are in our primary Minnesota service area. We confirm jurisdiction before we price.
Can you build a commercial shop near I-94 in Monticello?
Yes, when zoning and the site support it. Commercial pole buildings and shop shells are a regular ask along the Monticello corridor.
How long does a Monticello site visit take to schedule?
Monticello is 15–20 minutes from our yard, so we can usually walk the site in the same window as other Wright and Sherburne County visits.
