Highlands Ranch, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangShops, sheds, and storage buildings built for Colorado snow — posts set deep in the clay, framed to hold the load. County permits and HRCA approval handled. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for the Ranch
We build pole barns, shops, and storage buildings around Highlands Ranch and out on the bigger lots nearby. A pole barn is a fast, strong way to get a real shop or a place to park the trailer, the toys, and the mower out of the weather. But up here it has to be built for two things most kits forget: heavy snow and clay soil.
We size and frame the roof to hold a wet Colorado snow, and we set the posts down deep, past the clay, to solid ground — so a wet spring can't lift or lean it. We pull your Douglas County permit, and where the HRCA's rules apply, we handle that approval too.
“We have a real estate company and several investment properties. We use them on our projects and refer them out to our clients for decks, fences, barns and sheds. Always willing to do what it takes, on time and enthusiastic.”

Most pole barns fail here for the same reasons: the snow, the clay, the wind, or a skipped permit. We build for all of it.
The snow piles up wet and heavy out here. We size and frame the roof to hold the load and shed the snow, so a big storm doesn't sag or cave a barn built for a milder place.
The clay under Highlands Ranch swells up when it gets wet — enough to push a post out of place. We set the posts down deep to solid ground, so the building stays level and a wet spring can't lift it.
The wind really moves out here, and a tall building catches it. We anchor the posts deep and brace the frame so the barn stands up to a big gust without racking or leaning.
Highlands Ranch is part of unincorporated Douglas County, so the permit comes from the county (303-660-7497). We pull it for you. Where the HRCA's rules apply, the Architectural Review Committee (303-471-8821) checks the size and look first — and we handle that form too.
“The inspector was impressed by their system and mentioned this deck is built to withstand a hurricane.”
Dominic ValenzuelaWhat we see in Highlands Ranch
After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests around this town are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
The most common call: somewhere to work on projects, park an extra vehicle, or run a home business out of the weather. We build a shop sized to what you do, framed for the snow, with the posts set deep so it stays put.
Trailers, the boat, the RV, the mower, and the snow gear add up fast. We build storage buildings that get all of it under a roof and out of the hail and sun.
A lot of folks want a bigger, sturdier shed than a kit can give. We build sheds on a solid base with posts past the clay, so they don't sag or shift after a couple of wet springs.
Where the HRCA's rules apply, the size, design, and color of a shop or shed get checked first. We size and finish the building to fit the rules and pick materials that pass — so it doesn't get sent back.
BackCountry has its own design review on top of the HRCA — a separate form, looked at every two weeks. We've done it before and handle both, so your building doesn't stall in paperwork.
Folks often want the barn or shed to match the home's siding and color so it looks like it belongs. We tie the materials and color into the rest of the property and the neighborhood.
