America is going through a rustic period in building and design, so the demand for old barns for sale, barn boards and reclaimed barn beams for sale nationwide is strong.
In many cases, an old barn that needs to be dismantled has been owned by a family for many years. Many barn owners want something good to happen to their barn (dismantled and reused) more than any money they may receive for it.
It may take many weeks to sell your old barn. There are many factors to sell old barn wood that effect the value of any barn to be dismantled, such as location, wood species of the boards, lumber and timbers, general condition, is it standing or half fallen, roof condition, safety, etc.
Some questions that buyers may have when they call or Email you are:
What size is the building? (30x50, 40x60, etc)Has the electricity been disconnected? Is there room to dismantle with heavy equipment?Has the barn/ building been cleared of "stuff" ?Is the roof intact, is it tin, asphalt, wood shingle, etc.Are the floors safe? Is there room to load barn boards, beams on a semi flatbed? Are there load restrictions on a bridge or roads to the barn? Are the beams softwood or hardwood? Can it be rebuilt into a barn home?Are beams hand hewn (with an axe) or sawn on a mill?What color is the siding, width of the boards, length?Are the boards square edge, shiplap or t&g?Has part of the barn been white washed? (removes easily) Can you Email photos?Do you have directions to the barn?What is the barn foundation?Barn dismantle or barn demolition.You may sell your old barn quickly, but it may take several weeks to work through the process of listing an old barn for sale, showing it to potential barn wood dismantlers and reaching a successful end.
You may be able to sell your barn for a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars or more. Not many barns will be taken down to be put back up. Perhaps as few as one 1 or 2 in 1000 barns. Just the right circumstance's would have to happen for a reconstruction of an old barn, particularly into a barn home, to take place.
Most standing old barns for sale are valued in the $300 to $3,000 range for salvage. Certain barns may qualify to be sold at a higher price. For example, they may contain a large amount of rare lumber or beams, such as chestnut. Some old barns have a history, and may be of more interest for this reason.
"You can have our old barn free, if you dismantle it, haul it away and clean up the site." can be a formula for disappointment, Because: cleanup should be defined in any written agreement to dismantle, also an end date to the dismantling, usually no more than 30 days.
Often, it is better to come to the understanding that there is to be addition work, or cleanup after the barn has been dismantled and after the dismantlers have finished and left the site.
**** It may be best to sell your barn with no cleanup and hire someone other than the dismantler to finish the cleanup of the barn or building, or perhaps do it yourself.
