If you’re considering a new home, a barndominium is one of the most popular options for a new build home.
They make even more sense in Alaska, where quick build-times and no requirement for a foundation mean you can cut pricey build costs and reduce trips to bring materials to your site.
Often, barndominiums are pre-manufactured and can be shipped flat packed to your site. Shell erection then takes as little as a few weeks – meaning you can send equipment home and get started on the interior of the home more quickly.
That fast shell erection means you can often expect your build-time to be as little as 5-6 months – perfect for allowing you to finish construction inside Alaska’s warmer months.
Still, if you want a barndominium, you’ll need a builder. Luckily, there are plenty of local building companies – offering everything from wood pole barns to premanufactured metal building kits.
Whatever you’re looking for in your builder, this list includes a builder for you.

1. DC Builders
DC Builders is one of the largest barndominium kit builders in the United States. It’s also one of the only nation-wide brands to offer barndominium kits in wood or metal.
However, the brand only offers barndominium kits rather than any erection or building services. This means you’ll get a custom flat-packed building kit delivered to your lot and ready to erect.
You will need your own erection crew, however, which means finding a local building and erection crew.
DC Builders offers barn kits in wood or metal. These use pole barn construction, meaning your building is suspended on poles around the exterior of the home. It will not need a foundation or interior load-bearing walls.
The brand also offers a mix of barndominium kits and custom-engineered options – so you can either choose a ready-to-use floor plan and building kit or work with DC Builders to design your own. You’ll also need your own general contractor for interior finishing.
- Service across Alaska
- Specialized in barn home kits
- Custom barndominiums
- Wood or metal pole barns
- 1-year warranty

2. Country Wide Barns

They may also be able to help you source your own interior materials – although often you’ll want to do that with your general contractor.
Like DC Builders, Country Wide Barns only offers building kits in Alaska. This means you’ll need a building crew for the erection and for the interior.
Country Wide Barns also offers wood pole barn kits, wood finishing, and other extras. The brand may also be able to help with securing building permits and planning permission. However, availability may vary depending on how rural your home location is.

They’ll also work with you to find a local building contractor, site preparation, building erection, foundation, and even insulation. This means you can have every part of the warm shell of your building handled by one company – so you can cut planning and hassle for your barndo shell.
Otherwise, Barndo Canada offers basic metal building kits with few residential customizations. However, you can get some customizations including trim, doors and windows, and exterior additions like porches and bays.

You also get 60+ panel colors and multiple panel options, so you can design the barndominium that you want to live in.
The brand also offers extras like insulation kits, interior wall systems, and lean-tos for porches and decks. You can also custom design a building with porches and even balconies.
Worldwide Steel is also one of the only metal building kit manufacturers delivering to Alaska to offer multi-story building kits. You can also further customize your building with multiple roof options.

5. Steel Commander Corp
Steel Commander Corp is a metal building kit manufacturer based in Florida but offering delivery across the United States, including Alaska. The company also only offers the metal building kit, which means you’ll have to find a local erection crew to put the building up.
In addition, you’ll want to source your own residential doors and windows, and then install them immediately on the finished erection of the building.
Steel Commander Corp offers mostly basic and generic metal building kits. You can customize these with paint colors, some roofing options, and some panel options.
Otherwise, you’re getting a basic metal building that will be cheap, durable, and good quality. Steel Commander Corp also backs that up with a 60-year structural warranty.

6. Hansen Pole Buildings
Hansen Pole Buildings is a pole barn kit manufacturer that delivers wood pole barns anywhere in the United States. Alaska residents can order a kit or a custom pole barn and have it delivered, flat-packed, and ready for erection in most of Alaska.
Like most other kit builders, Hansen does not offer any building erection or contracting services. Therefore, you’ll need an erection crew to put your pole barn kit up and then a general contractor to convert it into a home.
Hansen only works with wood column pole barns. This means you put the pole barn up and then can choose to pour a concrete floor if you want. Otherwise, the actual building erection can go very quickly.
From there, you’ll have to source residential doors and windows and have someone convert them into your home. Hansen can also supply two-story building kits, although you’ll have to supply your own interior walls.
- Delivers across Alaska
- Limited-lifetime warranty
- Barndo home kits
- Limited custom designs
- Post frame buildings/pole barns
- 2-story builds available

7. Absolute Steel Buildings
Absolute Steel is another national metal building kit manufacturer. It also primarily specializes in metal building kits which can be assembled on a pre-poured and pre-cured concrete slab foundation.
The builder offers some barndominium kits. However, the vast majority of its building kits are simple buildings with little to no residential modifications.
This means you can get a cheap and durable building – however, you’ll have to take steps to make the exterior look like a home on your own. That includes modifications for doors and windows, trim, and other extras.
On the other hand, Absolute Steel can offer a high-quality building kit shipped to your lot for a relatively low price. You will need your own erection crew.
You also need your own general contractor to convert the kit into a home. Otherwise, this is a great place to source a no-frills shell for your new home.
- Delivery across Alaska
- 20-year frame warranty
- 20-40 year paint warranty

8. Maverick Steel Buildings
Maverick Steel Buildings ships metal building kits from Georgia to almost anywhere in Alaska. The company specializes in basic metal buildings with steel frames and metal siding.
You also get full structural engineering including foundation designs – as Maverick buildings require a slab foundation.
You can also custom order a building and have it prefabricated to your specifications, complete with the planning and architectural designs you need for local planning approval – although you will still need a local architectural stamp.
Maverick is a great choice if you’re looking for a larger building at a lower cost.
However, it offers very little in the way of residential trim or modifications. Therefore, you’ll have to work with a local builder to find residential doors and windows, trim out the building, and otherwise convert it into a home.
- Delivery across Alaska
- Manufacturer’s warranty
- Barndo kits available
- Custom engineering available
- Foundation plans included

Sherman Builders specializes in custom pole barn kits, which will ship to your location and sometimes (depending on location) erect for you. This pole barn builder offers everything from turnkey construction to a DIY flat-packed barndominium kit.
It also primarily constructs pole barns for agricultural and farm use, meaning it’s easy to get one- and two-story pole barns with agricultural and workshop spaces designed.
Sherman also uses wood post frames with concrete footings and metal paneling. You’ll have your choice of colors and ridge vents.
Otherwise, there are very few exterior customizations and you will end up with a very basic barn home. However, that does mean you can get your pole barn kit relatively cheaply and then do a lot of the work yourself to save on costs.

10. Morton Buildings
Morton Buildings is one of the largest metal building manufacturers in the United States. It’s also one of the only metal building kit manufacturers in Alaska to offer erection services.
In fact, the Illinois-based metal building company offers delivery across Alaska with erection services provided by a local crew. However, the company does not have a local office, which means that customer service may be slower than if you were living in another part of the United States.
In addition, Morton won’t handle the erection themselves. However, they will work with you to ensure they find a Morton-certified erection crew to put your building up. You can then contract that supplier for general contracting, concrete, or a number of other services.
Morton is also one of the only building kit suppliers to offer barndominium kits for a flat rate.
This means you can purchase a ready-to-ship barndominium kit complete with residential customizations. This includes one- and two-story options, exterior trim, extras like dormers, interior wall kits, insulation, and much more.

11. Wick Buildings
Wick Buildings is a post frame barndominium kit builder offering barndominiums shipped anywhere in the United States. You can also often opt for erection services as well – although availability may depend on your exact location.
However, the brand will ship you a premanufactured pole barn kit or custom design your pole barndominium around your specific needs.
Wick specializes in residential barn homes, meaning they will take the doors and windows and the exterior finish into account. You can also get a two-story residential home, making this one of the few barndo kit options for a multistory barndominium in Alaska.
The brand also offers interior walls, mixed-use building kits, and floorplans. However, you’ll need your own general contractor for everything after the shell.
Wick’s buildings are laminated column wood post frame with aluminum siding. You can also request a selection of doors and windows. However, you’ll have to pour or install your own floor, as pole barns don’t need concrete slab foundations.
- Delivery and potential erection across Alaska
- 50-year structural warranty

- Barndominium kits
- Custom design available
- Erection services available
