You’re about to make a very important investment, and you want the finished product to be as close to perfect as possible. You will need someone who’s trustworthy and knowledgeable to help guide you through the process. Here’s what sets King Construction apart from other custom builders.
Horses are our business. We understand the importance of light, ventilation and the many structural elements needed to keep them safe, healthy and performing their best. And we know how to design and organize the space to maximize your storage and convenience, while reducing your workload.
We have been in business for over four decades. We have grown our business through sound management practices and honest representation. This means you can have complete confidence that your deposits and payments are secure and properly applied, and that we will be here if you need us, long after your project has been completed.
We have been building quality horse facilities since 1978, and no two are exactly alike. In addition to construction drawings, we can provide three-dimensional color renderings of your custom project.
We can handle your project as a turn-key, or collaborate with your architect and with your own trade subs. Over the years, we've developed strong relationships with support contractors and other industry professionals. Whether your project is located inside or outside of our building area, you can still have a King-designed barn or arena. For customers not in our service area, we offer design and building plan services, and knowledge of building code requirements in many states and local municipalities.
We are dedicated to exceptional customer care before, during, and after the completion of your project.
We provide detailed specifications so you know exactly what you’re getting. We do not take shortcuts with the quality of our material or with our construction practices. We believe all our customers deserve fair and honest treatment, so we price all of our projects using the same cost basis.
Our Amish and Mennonite heritage forms the framework for every King building. We use the highest quality materials, fine details, and expert craftsmanship on every project. Sometimes that means our bids are not as low as others, but our finished product is truly superior in appearance, durability and longevity.
“As one of the lucky residents, this is even more heavenly than it appears.
Thank you for a fantastic experience King Barns.”
King Construction believes our most important competitive advantage is the creativity, skill, dedication and longevity of our employees. As a team, we focus on rewarding our customers with a superior product and personalized, attentive customer service.
