Where we build GREAT BARNS, it’s that Simple!

…and this is who we are                                             

 Second generation Timber Framed builders, our roots are strong in New England from early childhood in the country-setting of the Berkshires to coastal Cape Cod, where our family established a precedent for these uniquely constructed buildings. Following in the footsteps of the late James (Dennis) McGrath, Great Barns proudly continues his legacy and is committed to the kind of quality craftsmanship he represented. As our designs expand and become generationally different, they stay true to the strong New England roots and maintain their functionality.

…and this is what we do…

Great Barns specializes in the construction of , freestanding or attached structures,  garages, barns, cabins​,  ​workshops​, and great room​s ​are often the intended use of such buildings. We have conceptual designs to start your imagination moving, but also, have worked with many architects, builders, and dreamers to create a building that works for you.

Great Barns believes in a personal approach and is the main reason that Chris (owner) is in the field every day. We are hands-on, in contact with our customers at all phases of their project.  When he is sitting, he is usually drawing and/or designing buildings for his customers.

2022 CAPE COD INFLATABLE PARK ~ A COMMERCIAL ADVENTURE

Great Barns embarked on a 8 week project constructing 4 new buildings and renovating the kitchen/food building as well as the many pool cabanas as seen on site. This project was a high profile, highly anticipated water park grand opening with loads of detail and long hours of labor. Restroom buildings, pool cabanas, pump house, wave buildings were all build to spec on site with our highly skilled crew. It was a daunting task at times but one to be proud of and in completed in record time. We were pleased to be part of this project!

Cuffy’s of Cape Cod project~~~ and enormous project with details galore. Great Barns has been part of this “Great” undertaking and provided construction services for this enormous structure. We are proud to say we had a hand (or several) in completing this Cape Cod iconic name and property!
