From barndominiums and country homes to garages, workshops, and hobby shop, every Walters project is built with precision craftsmanship and engineered performance, delivering comfort that lasts for generations.
Whether you’re building your barndominium, a weekend retreat, or adding a garage of workshop to your property, our experienced team will guide you through every step, ensuring your building reflects your lifestyle and stands strong against time and weather.
Your Design & Build Partner for Country Living
A Walters Buildings residential building isn’t pre-packaged, it’s custom-built for your life. Our in-house engineering team, local project managers, and dedicated crews work with you to design a building that feels right at home from day one.
Most of our barndominium customers choose Walters to design and construct the exterior shell – the full structural package that includes the engineered framing, laminated STP columns, trusses, steel roof and wall panels, windows, doors and concrete foundation. Once the shell is complete, many customers finish the interior themselves or partner with local subcontractors for insulation, drywall, cabinetry and finishes that match their personal style. For select geographic regions, Walters can also provide full turnkey barndominium projects, managing both interior framing and finish work for a complete start-to-finish solution.
Your Property, Designed for You
Walters also specializes in custom garages, hobby shops, and combination spaces with optional living quarters. Whether it’s a standalone workshop, a multi-bay garage with an upper loft, or a barndominium-style structure that blends workspace and living area, Walters’ post-frame system offers clear-span interiors, engineered strength, and architectural flexibility to make your building both beautiful and practical.
