Every building is sized and quoted for how you'll actually use it: door sizes for your equipment, ceiling height for a lift, a lean-to for overflow. Our biggest so far is a 10,000 sq ft commercial post frame building for BP Metals. Sizes, options and how a build goes are all on our pole barn builders in Minnesota page.

What we build

Garages, Additions & Exterior Remodeling

Why Image Contracting

A Local Contractor That Builds It Like It's Going on Our Own Land

We've been building around Harris since 2005. We live and work here, so every building we put up is one the neighbors will drive past.

  • One contractor, every trade

    We run the whole job with our own team and trusted subcontractors, and we schedule every trade. You have one contractor to call, not five.

  • Built for snow and frost

    Chisago County designs pole buildings for a 50 lb ground snow load with 42-inch footings. We build to the local code, not a generic kit.

  • Itemized quotes

    You see what goes into the price: the building, doors, windows, labor and any options. Nothing hidden in one big number.

  • Help with permits

    We know what Chisago, Isanti and Pine County want to see, and we'll walk you through the permit for your build.

How it works

From First Call to Final Walkthrough

Five steps, with one contractor managing all of it. Here's what to expect when you call.

  1. Free on-site visit

    We come out, walk the site with you and talk through how you'll use the building or space.

  2. Design & itemized quote

    You get a layout and a line-by-line quote, so you can add or drop options and see the price change.

  3. Permits

    We tell you which office covers your property and help get the permit and any required engineering lined up.

  4. Build

    Our team and trusted subcontractors build it, and we keep you in the loop along the way.

  5. Final walkthrough

    We walk it together when it's done and fix anything that isn't right before we call it finished.

Do I need a permit?

Most pole barns and garages need one, and we'll walk you through it for your property. The rules change by county. For example, Isanti County requires a permit for pole buildings over 200 sq ft and a Minnesota-registered engineer on larger buildings and all commercial buildings. You can read the county rules for Isanti County pole buildings and Chisago County pole buildings.

How much does a pole barn cost?

It depends on the size, wall height, doors, windows, insulation, concrete and how much site work your lot needs. The fastest way to a real number is a free on-site estimate. We'll give you an itemized quote so you can see what each option adds.

Do you do interior remodeling?

Not as a stand-alone job. We finish the inside of the additions and buildings we build, but we don't take on kitchen, bathroom or basement remodels.
