Contracting with Superior Buildings

Post-frame (aka pole barn) construction is the ideal solution for garages, horse barns, and many other structures. Pole barns are more affordable than stick-frame buildings, since there is no traditional foundation required. Post-frame structures are also durable, functional, and stylish.

At Superior Buildings, we can bring your vision to life. Our buildings are completely custom, so you can choose a design that fits your unique wants and needs. We can copy an existing building, recreate a set of plans you find on Pinterest, or start from scratch with an idea you dream up. Our gallery is also full of past projects that you can use as inspiration.

We offer a variety of pole barn styles, ranging from small garages and workshops to custom barndominiums. We also offer horse barns, farm buildings, and commercial pole barns.

As general contractors, we offer complete, turnkey projects. This allows you to avoid the time consuming task of hiring excavators, electricians, and any other contractors needed for your project. Our goal is to make your pole barn project as hassle-free as possible.

Amish Roots

Our founder, Nate King, grew up on an Amish dairy farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He started building pole barns in 2001, traveling throughout Pennsylvania and the surrounding states.

Today, Nate runs the Superior Buildings office in Virginia, but he still enjoys farm life. When he’s not working, he’s usually tending to his cows.

About Amherst County

Amherst County, located in central Virginia, is known for its picturesque landscapes and rich history. Established in 1761, the county was named after Lord Amherst, a British commander in the Seven Years' War. It covers an area of approximately 475 square miles and is characterized by its rolling hills, fertile farmland, and scenic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west.

The county seat is Amherst, a small town with a charming downtown area that reflects its historic roots. The local economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, with farming and timber playing significant roles. In recent years, tourism has also become increasingly important, thanks to the area's natural beauty and historical attractions.

Amherst County boasts several notable sites, including the Poplar Forest, a former plantation designed by Thomas Jefferson. This property, which Jefferson used as a retreat from public life, is now a historic site open to the public. Additionally, the county is home to the Amherst County Museum and Historical Society, which preserves and exhibits artifacts related to the area's past.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy various recreational activities in the county's parks and natural areas. The James River, which runs along the county's northern boundary, offers opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and scenic river walks. The county's rural charm and historical significance make it a unique and attractive destination for visitors and a pleasant place to live for its residents.
