What Sets Wick Apart

Exceptional Engineering

Wick's Licensed Professional Engineers (PE) stay current with the latest codes and building technologies. Using those standards, Wick's trained designers custom design each building to meet your needs and stand the test of time.

Reliable, High Quality Lumber

Wick uses only lumber that meets or exceeds machine graded specifications for all structural components, from trusses and columns to girts and purlins. It's at least 15% stronger than regular lumber so you'll see less maintenance down the road.

Extensive Warranty and Service

Wick proudly stands behind every building warranty and is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau. We offer two types of warranties:

Wick Construction Services Warranty (for Wick-employed crews)
Building Packages Warranty (for a local builder’s crew)

Without all of the small print you find on other builders’ warranties, you’ll clearly know what is covered with Wick’s warranty.

(Note: Wick Buildings provides crews only within certain geographical areas.)

Local Builders You Can Trust

We partner with independent builders from your area. They live and work in your community so you'll know who to contact should you need service, an addition, or another Wick building.

Durable Steel and Paint

Steel and paint are critical building materials for withstanding harsh weather conditions.

2X more impact-resistant. We use full-hard steel, 80,000 PSI hardness or better. It’s two times the impact resistance of the 30,000 PSI commercial-grade steel used by other builders. You'll appreciate that when hail falls on the roof or the mower throws stones at the wall – fewer dents and repairs are needed.

50% more corrosion protection. Our exterior steel is G-90 galvanized, compared to commonly used G-60, so your Wick building will look great longer.

Warrantied not to chip or crack for 40 years. Besides our Sherwin-Williams paint warranty, it's highly reflective for energy efficiency.

Highly-Trained, Award-Winning Crews

Wick trains our crews regularly on technique and safety to ensure every building meets our high quality standards. In fact, we have won safety awards (click below to learn more). We also insure all of our crews, which protects you from liability. Several Wick foreman have been recognized as Foreman of the Year by the National Frame Building Association.

You understand that barndominium/shouse pricing is comparable to studwall home construction, particularly those with traditional 2-3 car garages and basements. Interior finishes are the same in either building type, and the advantages of a barndominium/shouse largely go away when the garage/shop space is modest and a basement is required. In many cases, you can expect to pay the same as studwall construction (i.e., somewhere between $175 - $250 per square foot depending on your market).
You want an attached garage and/or shop space > standard 2-3 car garage (i.e., > 1,200 square feet). Using post-frame building design, a barndominium/shouse is able to create large usable spaces cost-effectively in ways that traditional studwall construction cannot.
You like the aesthetic of steel (for the roof and sidewalls) typically used in a barndominium/shouse. Alternate materials may be used on the exterior, but they add cost.
You are comfortable using a concrete floating slab (or equivalent) to meet your foundation needs. A barndominium/shouse can be built on nearly any concrete foundation, including traditional basements. However, traditional basements are not necessary with a barndominium/shouse and having one increases cost.
You want to do some of the interior work yourself (such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fixtures), or you want to be the general contractor for that scope of work. While some builders will do full turnkey projects, most prefer to perform work through completion of the building shell.
