What Customers Say About Working With MQS

“
Erin O

“MQS was awesome to work with from our initial meeting at our property with Chris, followed by the continued support throughout the rest of the project by Merv. They were always responsive, communicative, had great attitudes, etc. In addition, their construction crew that was lead by Jonathan worked HARD, fast, but didn't sacrifice quality! Our shop and concrete (which they also did) was completed in 2.5 weeks! Merv did a walkthrough with us at the end to make sure EVERYTHING was up to his expectations as well as ours. We would recommend them over and over again to those looking to have an awesome post-frame shop!”

Jaclyn S

“I cannot express my gratitude for this company and the entire process from start to finish. I have been dreaming of building my barn for over 15 years - and MQS finally made my dream come true. I had reached out to over 5 shop contractors in my area to interview. Only 3 returned my inquiry. Steven Palmer was our salesman and he never once made my questions feel silly. His communication was top tier and he was prompt in returning calls/emails. He put together multiple scenarios and drawings and customized our build to our budget. Once we were ready to pull the trigger, Steven helped us through the permitting process with the county. Once we finally had permits, the Yoder & sons company did the actual build. They were prompt, kind, respectful and clean. I would choose this company every time for a build. You wont be disappointed!”

Tim T

“Our experience with MQS was terrific from the initial email through the end of the build. Our salesman was able to take down our needs and came up with the perfect design for our shop/garage.
Throughout the process, he was quick to respond via phone and email to our questions and was very helpful in guiding us toward a solution that matched both our budget and needs. The Amish crew that built the garage were professional and quick without compromising quality. Now that our MQS building is completed, we couldn't be happier with the process, craftsmanship, and value. We highly recommend MQS!”

Stacy O

“I had high expectations and MQS exceeded them in every regard. The sales, planning and construction process were seamless. The construction team was absolutely incredible. If you are in the market for a high quality shop at a fair price, I could not give MQS a stronger recommendation.”

“
Jim J

“I had MQS build my 40'x60' shop last year. They did and amazing job and built it lightning fast. The quality and workmenship is all there. Recently I had a dump truck driver accidentally run into the shop and do some damage to the soffit. I called Steven at MQS and he was able to get a crew out here to make it look like new.
The crew was very professional and efficient with their time as well. I highly recommend this company to handle any post/frame builds as I have worked with multiple contractors and builders over the years and these guys are definately in my top 3. I also found out they are a solid Christian company making it a bonus to support them and their integrity!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind Of Warranties Come With An Hobby Shop Workshop Pole Barn From MQS?

Each building from MQS comes with a one-year workmanship warranty. This covers problems that could occur with the building’s construction. If issues with a building occur within the first year, we will gladly come out and fix them as soon as possible. Typically, most repairs take 2 to 3 weeks, depending on whether or not replacement parts need to be ordered and their availability.

We take pride in the quality of how our buildings are built, so if something does happen with your MQS building even after one year, please give us a call. We will assess your situation and work with you to find the best solution possible.

We build all our hobby shop workshop pole barns with the highest-quality materials, most of which come with their own manufacturer’s warranty. For example, our garage doors, metal roofing and siding panels, and posts highlight warranties of 10, 40, and 50 years, respectively. To find the specifics of our product warranties, please visit our building process page, our warranties page, or give us a call!

What Is The Typical Start-To-Finish Time On An Hobby Shop Workshop Pole Barn From MQS?

The entire process from initial contract agreement to finished construction of your custom hobby shop workshop post-frame building can be as little as 4-6 weeks.

Completion times will vary based on seasonal and local demand, if custom parts (such as special Dutch or steel insulated garage doors, cupolas with weathervanes) need to be specially ordered, if there are delays in obtaining needed permits, or if site prep is not completed by the scheduled start date.

If you have any questions about the process for your build, please give us a call!

What Site Prep Is Needed Before Building An MQS Hobby Shop Workshop Pole Barn?

  • If you are providing your own concrete, dirt, or other pad, you must provide us with a level building site of approximately two feet larger than your building’s specs on all sides.
  • Site prep should include the site being sloped off around the perimeter to ensure that water drains away from the site.
  • Final cosmetic leveling and grading may be needed after the completion of your building.

Site excavation for your building may be available through MQS, depending on your location. If unavailable, we will work with you to find the best solution possible for you in your area.
If you have any questions about this process, please give us a call.

Does MQS Offer Any Financing?

Yes, we now offer financing options on our pole barn and post-frame buildings.
We always want to keep things local and are actively expanding our local lending connections to serve as starting points alongside our larger region-wide lending option.
To learn more, please visit our pole barn financing page or give us a call if you have any questions.

What Finishing Out Options Are Available With A Hobby Shop Workshop Pole Barn?

Our standard building packages come with an unfinished interior, providing a clean starting point to customize your space as needed. Additionally, you can individually select finishing options, offering you the flexibility to craft a high-quality space while staying within your budget.

Common finishing options include installing a concrete floor (before or after construction), full fiberglass insulation, Therma-Guard as a moisture barrier, and finishing interior walls with steel panels or OSB.

Additional framing and insulation options may vary by region. Currently, electrical work is not included and should be arranged separately.
