Pole Barn Buildings
Tru-Bilt's pole barn buildings combine durability with customization for agricultural, commercial, and residential applications. Constructed using high-quality materials, these structures withstand 85 mph winds and 3 feet of snow while offering flexible layouts. Customers can choose from multiple size options, color schemes, and insulation packages to meet specific storage, workspace, or living requirements.
Agricultural Buildings
Designed for functionality and longevity, our agricultural buildings include equipment garages, horse barns, and portable greenhouses. Engineered to meet seismic 3 standards, these structures protect valuable assets from extreme weather conditions. Customization options include door placements, ventilation systems, and specialized flooring to accommodate livestock, machinery, or crop storage needs.
Commercial Buildings
Tru-Bilt's commercial metal buildings provide cost-effective solutions for office spaces, event centers, and storage units. The post-frame construction method allows for rapid assembly while maintaining structural integrity. Features include energy-efficient insulation, customizable bay sizes, and exterior finishes that meet branding requirements for businesses seeking durable, code-compliant facilities.
Pole Barn Homes
Modern pole barn homes offer an affordable alternative to traditional construction with faster build times and lower maintenance costs. Available with full porches, lean-to additions, and customizable interior layouts, these energy-efficient homes meet residential building codes while providing flexible living spaces for families seeking durable, weather-resistant housing solutions.
Spray Foam Installation
Our spray foam insulation enhances building energy efficiency while creating airtight seals against weather elements. Applied by certified technicians, this closed-cell foam provides superior thermal resistance and moisture protection for both new constructions and retrofit projects. The service includes professional assessment to determine optimal R-values for different climate zones and building types.

Really disappointed. Recently I had a similar experience with Trubilt as I did about 5 years ago. No call no show to collect measurements for my estimate. This time was worse. The day before I drove to Marion from south of Harrisburg to sit down with Randy and he drew something up, planned my entire day around being home for the measurements the next day. 45 minutes AFTER the time someone was suppose to be there I called Tru-bilt and the secretary doesn't apologize and recommends that I call and track down the guy who was suppose to be there. obviously I don't do that and have not heard from anyone since. This was at least 2 weeks ago.
