Bump. Vertical height correction: approx. 6.5', not 8'.

I've been quoted approx. $2000 to prep a 28' x 30' x 4" deep area in advance of a pole barn installation. This includes excavation and grading of a relatively level area, as well as soil disposal. A little over $2 sq. ft. Sound right? Thanks.

James, PM sent.

Using Conestoga for a 24' x 26' pole barn garage in northern NJ. Cheaper than Pioneer, more expensive than Shirk. Very accommodating though; I needed a 1 hour fire rating on one wall due to setback issues and they had no problem doing it (extra $ of course, but Shirk really wasn't interested in...

Its been a while since I've posted but I'm happy to report that after starting this project back in April, (survey, zoning, research, plans, fence relocation, etc.) I finally picked up my permit this morning. Demo/site prep begins a week from today, and weather permitting, Conestoga should start...

Fixture cost isn't so bad: approx. $225 for 150w. I need three for general illumination; one over each bay in a three-car garage. I plan to use T8 fluorescents for perimeter work lighting.

I'm thinking of using either 100w or 150w fixtures by Everlast in a new 24' x 26' x 10' pole barn. Anyone have any experience with this type of fluorescent lighting?

Thanks for the interest. Door was $900 new; I'm thinking $500...

8' x 8' insulated door in excellent, functioning condition. Installed in 2001; have Home Depot receipt. Will be demolishing existing garage to make way for new Conestoga pole barn. Hate to see a good door like this go to waste. Looking to de-install in the next two weeks. Open to reasonable...

Update: Pole barn company's engineer is discussing the situation with my township's (Teaneck, NJ) building inspector to determine exactly what I need re: sealed plans. No definitive conclusion yet... Anyone know the link that would direct me to NJ's state residential building codes? Thanks.

I've spoken w/ Shirk; they told me that they use an engineer's seal for all NJ work and have never had a problem, unless maybe the requirements are changing? I'll be pulling the permits...

My pole structure has been approved by the Teaneck zoning department, now the building department wants 3 sets of sealed plans. They're specifically calling for an architect's seal (according to them, this is mandated by NJ state residential building codes). I'm ready to contract with Shirk, but...

Hi Mike, Thanks for posting these and for chatting with me about your Shirk experience. I've now spoken to three satisfied Shirk customers, which always eases the decision process. Hope to see my garage up in the near future. Len

I don't have the quotes in front of me, but approx.: Pioneer - $31K Conastoga - $27K Shirk - $23K

I understand the concerns re: galvanization ratings for steel, but I've decided to go with roof shingle and vinyl siding to match our house. 26w x 24l x 10h, 3 windows, 1 entry door, 2 10w x 9h garage doors, 4" slab, R 30 roof and R 19 wall insulation w/ liner panels, NJ sealed plans. I have...

I appreciate your insight, but could you be a bit more specific? Are the two companies you mentioned GCs?

I got a quote about 1 1/2 years ago to double the square footage of my existing 13 x 19 concrete block garage—$35K! That's when I started to look for alternative solutions...

I finally have three quotes in hand from the above mentioned companies. I have to sort through them but at first glance I'd say that Pioneer and Shirk submitted the most detailed breakdown. (Shirk even supplied plans that I can submit to my township for zoning review.) They all seem to be...
