Construction In Watertown: Garages, Pole Barns And Homes From A Builder
Construction in Watertown from Strauss’ Houses: detached and attached garages, room additions and sunrooms, post-frame pole barns and machine sheds, and a small number of custom homes a year — priced from drawings with a fixed written scope, one project at a time, built to the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code where it applies.
Builders first, roofers by demand. Roofing is most of what we do now, but the business began with construction and we still take it on. That matters for the obvious reason — we understand the structure under a roof, not only the surface of it — and for a less obvious one: a builder prices from a drawing, which is a discipline that keeps roofing estimates honest too.
Everything we build to live in is built to the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code, which sets, among a great deal else, the snow and wind loads a roof in this state has to carry. A pole barn is not a dwelling and the code does not govern it; what does is your municipality and county, and we say so on that page rather than pretend otherwise.
