- MGMelanie GunterOct 27, 20251.0Was interested in some of the buildings they had spoke on the phone with Brian and found him to be very rude. Assumed I had no money and was wasting his time! So 2 hours later found a different company whom treated me like a decent human being. Elkhart is worth looking at as far as buildings go! Paid and ordered mine today after that horrible experience
- MWMaranda WaldoJun 10, 20255.010/10 recommend! Brien was great to work with. And Jason made sure that we got exactly what we wanted! And Jerry delivered it with no issue at all. We are so happy with our shed!

Frequently Asked Questions About Amish Built Barns LLC
What type of warranty is offered by your Amish builders?
Our Amish builders offer various warranties, but they all cover craftsmanship defects. This includes issues clearly resulting from the builder's work, such as leaky roofs or incorrectly installed windows and doors. We recommend documenting any problems upon delivery with photos or video and informing us promptly. We'll arrange for repairs. However, normal wear and tear, such as dings, dents, paint chipping, or door sagging, isn't covered. We partner with the finest Amish builders in the region, which is why warranty claims are extremely rare.
What is the recommended site prep for ABB structures?
For optimal site preparation, ensure clear access from the road to the installation site, checking for obstacles like trees and power lines. Choose a level location to ensure proper airflow and door operation. Our delivery typically involves using a 'mule' machine, similar to a forklift with outdoor tires, which can handle most terrains accessible by a small car without 4x4 traction. Have shims, pavers, or 4" blocks ready for leveling. We recommend a concrete pad slightly larger than the structure as the best base, followed by crushed concrete. Other crushed stone options are acceptable, but avoid round stones like river rock or pea gravel. Direct ground contact is possible due to our treated lumber runners, but this may lead to future leveling issues or floor rot if airflow is restricted.
Does Amish Built Barns move/remove sheds?
Amish Built Barns outsources deliveries to third-party drivers. We can provide contact information, but we don't control their pricing, availability, or scheduling as they're not directly affiliated with us. Regarding shed removal or teardown, we're not equipped to offer this service. While we've done it in the past, the cost was prohibitively high for most customers.
Does the color affect my price?
You can select different colors for the roof, trim, sides, and ends at no extra cost from our standard 12-color palette. However, using multiple colors may incur additional charges. Vinyl siding in darker shades does have a price markup. In some cases, our builders can source custom colors from Sherwin Williams for an additional fee.
Do I need a permit?
Permit requirements vary by county, so it's essential to contact your local building department for specific information. Generally, if you plan to anchor the structure, install plumbing, or hardwire electrical systems, it's likely to be considered a permanent structure. This classification often affects property valuation and taxes.
Can I pay for my order online?
Currently, we don't accept online payments due to high transaction fees charged by payment processors. Please visit our office at 2305 M-139, Benton Harbor, MI 49022 to make your payment in person.
What types of payment do you accept?
We prefer check and money order payments, but we also accept cash. All payments must be made at our office. Online payments are not accepted due to high fees from payment processors. Our office is located at 2305 M-139, Benton Harbor, MI 49022.
How does your rent to own program work?
Our rent-to-own program offers financing plans starting at $103 per month, allowing you to own your structure in as little as 24 months. We provide 24, 36, or 48-month term options. This program is an alternative to mini-warehousing, providing a no-strings plan for backyard or business storage. No credit application is required, and you're not obligated to keep the building. We accept payment by check or money order. We advise notifying your bank before making a large purchase to avoid payment holds and ensure quick order processing.
Can I pay off my rent to own contract early?
Yes, you can pay off your rent-to-own contract early without any penalties. We offer flexible payment options, including double payments, lump sums, or regular payments. Many customers choose to make a substantial initial payment followed by smaller monthly payments, or they make a minimal upfront payment and settle the balance during the next tax season.
Are there any restrictions to your free delivery?
We offer free delivery within a 40-mile radius of your nearest Amish Built Barns dealer. Our drivers use advanced building transport systems to place your structure precisely where you want it, aiming to minimize yard damage. A clear path on solid ground is required for delivery. American Steel products can be delivered anywhere without mileage restrictions. Please note that not all buildings qualify for free delivery, as we work with several Amish families with different terms. We recommend contacting our office staff to confirm delivery fees for your specific structure of interest.
What types of warranties do your Amish builders provide?
Our Amish builders offer warranties covering craftsmanship defects such as leaky roofs and improperly installed windows or doors. Normal wear and tear like dings or paint chipping is not covered.
How should I prepare my site for an ABB structure delivery?
Ensure clear access from the road, choose a level location, and have leveling materials like shims or blocks ready. A concrete pad slightly larger than the structure is best for the base.
Do you provide shed moving or removal services?
We outsource deliveries to third-party drivers, but do not offer shed removal or teardown services due to high costs.
Are there any extra charges for choosing certain colors?
Standard colors from our 12-color palette come at no extra cost, but vinyl siding in darker shades and multiple color combinations may incur additional fees.
Do I need a permit to install an Amish Built Barns structure?
Permit requirements vary by county. If anchoring, installing plumbing, or electrical work, it is likely considered a permanent structure, affecting valuation and taxes. Check with your local building department.
What payment methods do you accept and can I pay online?
