# Barn Reviews

> Barn Reviews is a national directory of pole barn, post-frame, and barndominium builders in the United States. It lists 801 builders across 5 states, with per-builder service areas, building types, and published price signals where a builder discloses them.

Notes on the data:

- Price figures are quoted from builders' own published material and carry the source text. Where a builder publishes no pricing, no figure is inferred.
- Listings are compiled from public sources; a builder can claim and correct their own listing, and a claimed listing is maintained by that builder.
- Coverage is uneven by design and follows where post-frame construction is common, which is concentrated in the Midwest and Appalachia.
