Orton Companies
Minnesota pole barn builders based in Big Lake
Anyone can raise a barn. The work is building one that still earns its keep when their kids take the key. Orton Companies is Elijah Orton’s licensed shop at 19060 253rd Avenue in Big Lake — Minnesota Residential Building Contractor BC-809449.
If you are comparing builders, three things usually settle it: a published contractor license, a street address you can drive to, and whether the people who design the building are the people who stand it up. We are a Big Lake crew — not a dealer desk that hands you to a contractor you have never met.
We build custom post-frame shops, agricultural buildings, residential outbuildings, barndominiums, car storage, and commercial shells across Minnesota. Sherburne County, Wright County, and the northwest Twin Cities metro get first scheduling because those lots are a same-day drive from the yard. Statewide jobs that fit still get a real site walk before a price.
Competitive pricing and a faster timeline come from the same place: lean overhead, one accountable team, and a bid scoped to frost, drainage, doors, and use — not a catalog average. Typical delivery is about half a conventional multi-vendor timeline because there is no handoff between the drawing and the jobsite.
