Gara Farm built us a beautiful indoor riding arena in record time. Their attention to detail was amazing, as was the quality of their work. All of the employees worked very hard to get the project done. We would most definitely recommend them to anyone and will be using them again if we have a future project. Thank you so much for the great work!

We had a fantastic experience with Gara Farm Buildings. We built a brand new cottage from scratch. Starting with some rough ideas that Gara turned into blueprints, the process was seamless. Excellent project management lead by Chris, the workers and foreman were all pleasant and professional. The quality of work and craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with our new cottage and delighted we choose Gara Farm as our builder.

Gara Farms recently helped us with our crumbing front porch on our century home. Chris, Ryan and the team were really supportive through out the planning process, giving us multiple options for demolition and replacement of the structure and helping us decide on the best solution... Their team was very professional, tidy and efficient on site... Overall we couldn't be more pleased with the job. The new finished porch is better than we expected and has made a big difference to the finish of our house. We have even had several admiring comments from neighbors and passers by. I would highly recommend Gara and will use them again for future renovation projects.

Recently had a hobby shop built by Gara. The owners Ryan and Chris were great to deal with, knowledgeable and accommodating to my requests. Their employees were courteous and professional in their conduct on site. Could not have asked for a better build/experience. I will definitely be contacting them in the future if I need to enlarge the structure or build any further buildings. I highly recommend them!!

We are extremely pleased with the level of professionalism from start to finish from the Gara Farm team. Chris helped me out with initial planning and Ryan was there to see the project take shape. Everyone keeps asking who designed this place. Nothing but compliments, thanks to Tom and his concept drawing skills. John and the building crew were also a pleasure to work with. I'm certain that your business will continue to excel as you definitely are setting yourselves apart in your industry.

We purchased a property with a 20 year old Gara barn and shop. Chris came out at his earliest (we are about an hour away) crawled all over it, found no issues. Didn't charge for his time, made suggestions for maintenance. 20 year old building, looks amazing, no issues at all. Proof of craftsmanship and professionalism. Thanks, mm

Had Gara's guys quote and build a new shop, which we added to an existing shop. The new shop was tinned and the old shop they had to re-tin and make it look just as new. These guys killed it! Crew was on time every day. Lumber was literally flying. 50x72ft with 20ft walls up in 2 days. Tin on in 2 days. Doors on in 2 days. All the lines nice and straight. Just awesome. Tidy worksite and everyone busy. Money very well spent! Do it again in a heartbeat!

Design

If you’re looking for new, fresh, or unique ideas, we’re equipped to create the exact design you’re envisioning. We provide an initial set of drawings along with a precise 3D rendering to give you a clear picture of the final project. This visual tool helps prevent any miscommunication or misunderstanding of your vision. We recognize the frustration of dealing with multiple contractors, so our goal is to make the entire design-build process smooth, exciting, and stress-free.
