FBi Buildings pole barn repair

Severe weather can strike when you least expect it, leaving your post-frame building with damage that isn’t always visible at first glance. From hail dents and strong winds to water leaks, your pole barn may be more vulnerable than you realize—especially if it’s aging or located in a storm-prone area like the Midwest.

FBi Buildings helps property owners restore their post-frame buildings with confidence by:

  • Responding to structural emergencies (e.g., a collapsed metal roof).
  • Conducting thorough inspections to identify hidden or obvious damage.
  • Coordinating expert repairs.
  • Guiding you through the insurance claims process.

Our dedicated team acts quickly to protect your pole barn and preserve the value of your investment—regardless of the original builder.

Real stories, real transformations

When a powerful storm swept through Farmer City, Illinois, and caused a large tree to fall on the metal roof of Walker Tire & Exhaust, owner Tom Maxwell knew exactly who to call.

“FBi was on board right away. They came and looked at the damage within a day or two. We had others lined up for bids, but we were pleasantly surprised with FBi’s estimate. Since they built the original structure over 24 years ago, we really wanted to work with them again.”

“We didn’t know how the team would prop everything up, but they walked us through the process. The speed and quality impressed me the most—it came together quicker than expected,” shared Tom.

The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Farm Bureau involvement
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
