Understanding Your Investment

Hopefully you will be spending a lot of time in your new building Adding ridge vents allows hot air to easily escape, making it cooler for you to work in the summer. But…probably more important than your comfort is the danger a pole building that does not have ridge vents can cause. If you do not have good air circulation, condensation and mold can build up on your roof. Some manufacturers will void their product warranty if they discover damage due to improper ventilation.

Timberline has always wanted to build structures that were functional, and looked really sharp. The Dutch corners we use makes your structure look more residential and less like a commercial warehouse. The truth of the matter is…to do these Dutch corners correctly – takes a little time. Like all parts of the building, if the crew rushes through this, it can look shoddy or cause future problems. It is probably not surprising that some companies skip this detail all together OR add up to $100 per door on top of their price.

Many customers have never thought twice about door jambs, but Timberline uses a stronger protective covering, which prevents the jamb from rotting. By spending a few dollars more, you’ll have a door jamb that is 100% maintenance free, will never need painting, and won’t begin to crack, chip aor peel when your building is only two years old.

On one of the very first pole buildings Timberline constructed, they began adding Y bracing. This single feature is almost exclusive to Timberline, and provides additional support to the roof – something you may not think about until you get 100 mph wind or two blizzards in a row and the roof collapses.

If you look closely at a Timberline Building, you’ll notice a piece of flashing at the top of the fascia. The drip cap, Timberline has found, gives more protection to the face board when it rains. Too much water on your face board means more rotting. This is a standard feature from Timberline that may be an additional charge with other Pole Builders.

Not only does Timberline pay for the trash removal during and after their construction, they guarantee it’s done quickly. Undoubtedly, you are going to be excited to use your new pole building and Timberline thinks the last thing you are going to want to do is to pick up wrappings from the neighbor’s property, scour the grass for nails, or rent a dumpster to haul everything away.

By partnering with better quality suppliers, Timberline is able to pass along wider choices for most of the details in your building. That’s why you will have 25 standard choices in colors for your roofing and siding, all without any additional “Special Color Charge.”

If you have to work to get any kind of builder to call you back or give you a quote, it does make you wonder how responsive they are going to be once they start construction. Will they dump the materials on your property then disappear for a few weeks, without returning any of your phone calls? If they can’t get a quote out to you on time, what does that say about how smoothly the actual construction is going to run?
