Consultation
We walk the building, talk through goals and budget, and decide what is worth keeping versus replacing.
Building Renovations.
Keep the Site.
Orton Companies renovates existing pole barns in Minnesota with extensions, insulation, new steel, stalls, and doors.
Request a renovation consult
Tell Orton Companies what you want to keep, what needs to change, and where the building sits. We will follow up with next steps for a renovation visit in Minnesota.
The process
Plan the keep. Build the change.
Extensions, insulation, new steel roofs and walls, stalls, doors, and windows. Orton Companies renovates when the pad, driveway, and utilities already work, so a tired post-frame building can look and perform like a current one.
Scope and contract
You get a written renovation plan (envelope, interiors, and schedule) before we order steel or open walls.
03
Build
Crews sequence the work so the building stays as usable as possible while the envelope and interior change.
04
Walk-through
We walk the finished renovation with you, confirm doors and weather details, and leave a building that looks and works current.
Renovations FAQs
Orton Companies renovates buildings across Minnesota, including Sherburne County, Wright County, Stearns County, Hennepin County, Meeker County, Clearwater County, and the Twin Cities metro. Also see Repairs, custom designs, or what we build.
Does Orton Companies renovate existing pole barns in Minnesota?
Yes. Orton Companies renovates post-frame and related buildings in Minnesota: extensions, insulation, new steel, stalls, doors, and windows.
When is renovation better than building new?
When the structure and site are sound. If posts, roof, and envelope are all failing, we will recommend replacement instead of a cosmetic wrap.
Can you insulate a cold building?
Often yes. Liner, vapor control, and the right heat source can turn a cold shed into a year-round shop or barn if the structure can take it.
Do you renovate buildings you did not originally construct?
Yes. We inspect first. Age, manufacturer, and hidden damage determine whether renovation is a good fit.
Can a renovation include more stalls or a shop bay?
Yes. Interior conversions and additions are common renovation scopes.
