Request a QuoteSherman Buildings is a Northwest Wisconsin pole barn builder based in Mora, Minnesota, with primary Wisconsin coverage in Polk, Burnett, Barron, Washburn, and Douglas counties. Since 1976 we have designed and built custom post-frame pole barns, barndominiums, garages, machine sheds, and commercial buildings — all engineered to Wisconsin snow and wind loads and backed by a 30-year structural warranty.
50 Years of Post-Frame Expertise
Sherman Buildings has been constructing custom post-frame buildings since 1976. What started as a family lumber operation in Mora, Minnesota has grown into one of the region’s most trusted building contractors — serving Northwest Wisconsin and the broader upper Midwest with the same commitment to quality that has defined the company from day one.
Our specialty is custom post-frame construction: pole barns, barndominiums, residential garages, machine sheds, workshops, commercial facilities, and everything in between. Because we operate our own lumber yard, we control material quality from procurement to installation — giving you a building that performs as well as it looks.
The Kelling family — Steve, Andrew, and Ed — have built Sherman around a simple principle: a quality building at a reasonable price. That philosophy drives every project we take on in Wisconsin and across the region.
What We Build in Northwest Wisconsin

Pole Barns, Garages & Shops
Custom garages, detached shops, and multi-bay pole barns for rural and residential properties across NW Wisconsin — from compact 24×32 garages to 60-foot-wide shops.

Barndominiums & Pole Barn Homes
Post-frame homes and shouses combining living space with a heated shop or garage under one engineered roof — popular for NW Wisconsin lake and lot owners.

Machine Sheds & Ag Buildings
Clear-span machine sheds, hay and feed sheds, and livestock buildings engineered for Wisconsin snow and wind loads. Eave-side door placement keeps access clear after heavy snow.

Commercial & Specialty
Commercial post-frame, storage businesses, aircraft hangars, and specialty buildings — commercial-grade construction at post-frame economics.
Wisconsin Counties We Serve
Sherman’s Northwest Wisconsin coverage runs primarily along the Minnesota border and the St. Croix River corridor — the Wisconsin counties within our 200-mile primary service radius around Mora, MN. Projects outside the listed counties but still in Northwest Wisconsin are evaluated case-by-case.

Northwest Wisconsin — FAQ
Does Sherman Buildings work in Wisconsin?
Yes. Sherman Buildings serves Northwest Wisconsin as a core part of our service area — particularly Polk, Burnett, Barron, Washburn, and Douglas counties, plus northern St. Croix, Rusk, and western Sawyer counties. Our Mora, MN headquarters and sales office handles all sales and admin inquiries, with our Floodwood distribution center and contractor hub where crews pick up tools and materials before heading to northern Minnesota project sites.
What types of buildings do you construct in Northwest Wisconsin?
We build custom pole barns, barndominiums, post-frame homes, detached garages, workshops, machine sheds, hay and feed sheds, livestock buildings, commercial post-frame, and specialty buildings like aircraft hangars. Every project is designed around the owner’s specific site, use, and budget — we do not ship catalog buildings.
Do you build barndominiums in Wisconsin?
Yes. Barndominiums and "shouse" pole-barn homes (combined living + shop under one roof) are one of our most-requested building types in Northwest Wisconsin. These are built to Wisconsin residential code on a permanent foundation and are routinely permitted and financed like any other single-family home.
Are your Wisconsin buildings engineered for local snow and wind loads?
Yes. Every Sherman building is engineered to the specific snow and wind loads for its site — not a generic regional spec. In Northwest Wisconsin that means ground snow loads in the 40–50 psf range and wind speeds matched to your county. Pressure-treated ground-contact columns, heavy-gauge steel roofing, and Wisconsin-rated trusses are standard on every project.
What warranty comes with a Sherman building in Wisconsin?
Every Sherman building — Minnesota or Wisconsin — comes with a 30-year limited structural warranty on the post-frame system and a 10-year workmanship warranty on the quality of construction. The same coverage applies whether you build in Polk County, Burnett County, or any other part of our NW Wisconsin service area.
