Cool colors mean less heat gain

Wick Buildings paint system colors are reflective and can help keep your building from gaining unwanted heat. They’re called “cool colors” by our paint partner Sherwin-Williams, and the hardness of their paint system is the ideal match for our steel. Tough and reflective paint on full-hard steel – a great combination.

Cool colors are great in the summer since a reflective roof keeps your roof system up to 100°F cooler than a non-reflective paint. That will help keep you, and your belongings, from cooking due to excessive heat gain. And cool colors are also great in winter since a cool roof is less prone to melting snow and ice damming.

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.
