Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness First impressions are lasting impressions. I was so excited to find Yankee Barn Homes and did all my research. Finally decided to call and WOW! Rude, un professional and basically could not be bothered to even say her name. Sorry, but I will take my money and business to another company.

Beware. Seller provides only small sample of speculative staining direction for the post and beams, while end result may wind up very different from the sample. YBH promised us grey tone beams, which when stained and shipped appeared distinctly blue. Up to the CEO level the company was quite defiant that the stain was similar to the small sample mailed to our home.
Long story short it's quite a gamble to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a post and beam kit, and then have little recourse when the product isn't as promised. Unless you are comfortable with natural only, you may be stuck with a permanent eyesore.

Our home we recently purchased is a Yankee Barn Home originally built in the 1980s. We bought it knowing nothing about the company or these types of post and beam houses until much later in the closing process. Despite no renovation other than regular maintenance, the house has held up beautifully to the elements all these years. We had a thorough home inspection top to bottom and it passed with flying colors.
The inspector noted its superior construction and materials as a large reason why it had held up so well. It had appreciated a lot in value since the 80s and more than similar homes that were not Yankee Barn. Chris Sevigny also answered our question about it via email despite not being "real" customers. We have a lot of respect for a company that builds a home to last like this one has and will, and for providing customer service just because I'm now part of the Yankee Barn "family."

We built a Yankee Barn Home in 2010 & 2011 - and the experience was wonderful. We cannot say enough about the extraordinary quality, the customer service and how happy we are with the home. It is a unique and beautiful home that enjoy every day and when people come to visit they are awed by how it looks and how high the quality is. In addition, it is extremely energy efficient and filled with light and air due to the high ceilings and large windows.
The troubles they experienced a few years ago are hopefully behind them and the person involved in the car dealership has moved on. Please give these extraordinary, local, New Hampshire craftspeople a chance. We let them bring potential customers to see our house, that is how much we love it.

Our experience with Yankee Barn Homes from the professional approach to their business, the excellent architectural service right through to the finished product was commendable. We choose a Vermont vernacular design which at the time was a deviation from the standard Yankee Barn Designs but they created a post and beam design version that met all our criteria.
During the building process there were a few details that needed to be changed, modified or corrected and YBH responded with the best cooperation we could have hoped for. Yes, we highly recommend YBH!

From start to beautiful finish Yankee Barn Homes proved to be the very best. Their architectural design, their flawless delivery, their beautiful beams and windows; their attention to details and craftsmanship; their customer service were impeccable.

We presented a custom design and asked to have it converted into a YBH. Our experience with the engineers was comfortable, friendly and helpful. The site coordinator sent to help our contractor build our new YBH was also helpful and not afraid to get his hands dirty. Our contractor said it is the strongest home he has ever built and he had experience with another type of post and beam construction. We are very happy with our home and with our experience with YBH. Thank you.

Our family is arriving at our move in date for our amazing Yankee Barn Home this fall! We began at Bensonwood, and just could not get our needs met there. We have been nothing but pleased with the quality of workmanship, high level energy efficiency, and creative design put forth by YBH. Jon Sevigny listened to all of our wants and concerns and delivered exactly the design we had envisioned. Andrew Martin and his construction crew worked with an eye to precision, neatness and quality execution of the design.
I have read 1 other review concerning Andrew Button, he is no longer with YBH. He was when we began our home construction, but whatever problems he may have had, did not impact the quality of the product delivered to us by YBH. We have had nothing but complements and praise from individuals in the construction industry who have visited our home to provide other services.
We have complete faith in the quality of the product delivered to us and would not hesitate to recommend YBH. We are on their list of references. If anyone would like to speak with us YBH can provide our contact info.

After much time spend in back country and national park lodges, the decision to build a timber frame home came easily for our family, it just fit our personalities. After that, we did what seemed to be endless research before making a decision regarding builders across the country. Selecting Yankee Barn Homes was the best decision we could have made.
From our very first visit to the model home in NH, through our search for the perfect location, to our recent move in, YBH always provided the right amount of information and guidance to make informed decisions, without ever being burdensome or leaving us with questions. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant, patient, knowledgeable and willing to share his or her experience for our benefit. YBH made every decision and step in the process as painless as possible, and the result is our beautiful, energy efficient "forever" home. Specifically, Chris Sevigny at YBH was incredible to work with - a talented designer, knowledgeable and experienced in his craft and just a generally good person.
Other reviewers have made comments about a former employee. I can say with certainty, the personal issues of that former employee never impacted any interaction with YBH. Furthermore, the actual product, our new post and beam home, is amazing. Since the day construction began, total strangers have stopped in to ask us about our "beautiful" home, and our new neighbors tell us that people on the street affectionately refer to our home as "the barn".
I can easily say that Yankee Barn Homes is by far one of the best companies I have interacted with, across any industry. I can certainly recommend YBH without any hesitation.
