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.
