I'd like people to see this as an option to the way things are done traditionally. I think it makes sense to do as much as you can in a factory environment. It is very satisfying to see what Yankee Barns did.”—R.T., Wyoming

The production office went out of their way to make the whole process pleasant. We love our beautiful home and would not change one thing.”—J.M., Vermont
Chose YBH for the creativity and flexibility of design and quality. The production office was most cooperative and patient as our direction changed several times. We love our barn, it's what we always wanted and are very happy.”—G.K., Connecticut
Chose YBH for the quick response after initial contact. Quality of product and flexibility of schedule. Russ Prudhomme was excellent. He understood what we wanted and took our plans and worked them into a Yankee Barn frame and was a great help when questions came up during the application process for the building permit. The supervisor (Ricky Bresette) was a hard worker and put together a great crew to raise our barn.”—Anon., Maine
We're happy with Yankee Barn and with our barn. You did what you said you'd do. The production office was nice to deal with.”—Anon.

Never before having built a barn. This was a wonderful first exposure. YBH personnel were always ready to listen and guide us through the process.”—J.B., New Hampshire
Chose YBH for the quality of the package. Structure and insulation better than another company who had a lot of wasted square footage. YBH made it easier to change floor plans. This experience was a lot easier than we imagined. Building a house 100 miles away could have been scary, but we had a great staff! We were treated very well, welcomed into the YBH Family. Quality of timber frame, insulation, and windows are excellent!.”—J.G., New Hampshire
The final product is definitely everything we hoped it would be. The production staff was very helpful and pleasant to work with.”—J.R., New Hampshire
Chose YBH because we liked the post and beam construction and the pre-finished wall panels. Plans were professionally done. Planner was very helpful, even when we asked for modifications.

Nothing had the pizzazz of a YBH and we liked the way it 'fit' out here in the woods. The production office were excellent.

We liked the style; we appreciated the opportunity of staying in the Gathering House, and touring your plant. We came to like the simple frame better than the ornate frame.

We enjoyed our Yankee Barn experience and would recommend it (and have) to anyone interested in a post and beam or otherwise.”—S.A., New Hampshire

Stayed in the model and it had everything we wanted, had flexibility to build what we wanted. Production office very cooperative.

The production office was very helpful. The field supervisor was very valuable to the builder, was a hard worker and pitched in during his time on the job.

Chose YBH for the ability to have ownership of the design.”—D.S., New Jersey
We went with our feeling for the people who work at Yankee Barn because you're small, we felt we'd get the attention.”—S.F., California
Best experience ever we are completing our 2nd Yankee Barn Adirondack Camp. Planner came to the Adirondacks to look at old camp we purchased and helped us make major decision to tear down and start over-we are so glad.

We love the atmosphere the wood and design give. Friends tell us they feel like they're in a vacation home you'd find on a ski mountain.”—H.L., Connecticut

We had a wonderful experience building our home start to finish and enjoyed all phases of the best things I have done. I would do it again.”—S.T., Virginia
Chose YBH for style, openness, construction, beams, blending into naturalness of the lot and immediate neighborhood. The planner was very helpful-more concerned than us to stay within our budget.”—B.N., New Hampshire
This YBH worked out great-we sat the timber-frame on top of a 'stick framed' garage and shop. Enjoyable experience all around.”—E.W., Tennessee

Working with architects was a chore. Working with YB was a pleasure. The planner was our deciding factor. He truly sold us and was so easy to work with.”—R.T., Connecticut
We knew we wanted post and beam, looked at other's illustrated in magazines. Really liked that your homes didn't look overdone with too many beams which starts to look cluttered. White washed ceiling also helps the blend/balance. The planner was always available as a resource if I called him. Even for little nit-picky things.”—D.B., New Hampshire
The communication between us, our builder and YB was regular and when we had issues or needed something, YB came to the rescue.”—M.D., Pennsylvania
A great house, but you should probably discourage people from being their own contractors. It is a complicated house to make sure all construction is done in the proper manner.”—R.B., Maryland
