Give your barn a cost-effective, energy-efficient ceiling by Mid-Atlantic Building Solutions

Mid-Atlantic Building Solutions sells and installs engineered white poly (Triply) ceiling systems, high performance board insulation and blown-in insulation, offering quality products and installation at fair prices.

Mid Atlantic 1Its ceiling and insulation systems have been installed in countless agricultural, residential, and commercial/industrial buildings over the last 25+ years.

“If you are familiar with the large hoop buildings with the see-thru white fabric roof systems – the triply product is very similar except it has an extra coating on the one side to prevent the see-thru and provide a soft-white reflective solution for interior applications. Extra reinforcements are incorporated to support insulation, since we often blow insulation on top of this ceiling system. With a small amount of insulation, this system noticeably enhances the noise factor – giving your space a warmer, much brighter and quieter feel that animals love,” said owner Gerald Sensenig. “This is probably the most cost-effective ceiling and insulation value on the market. And we do very little maintenance work, as these ceilings have been proven to be very reliable and will be as durable as the building itself.”

Mid Atlantic 2Mid-Atlantic Building Solutions has been in business since 2002, serving customers throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding states.

“We are professionals in ceiling and insulation sales and installations. We love to transform buildings with our soft-white ceiling systems, and make them energy-efficient,” Sensenig said. The company is a member of the Better Business Bureau.

Quarry View builds relationships on strong foundations

What Your Barn Builder Isn’t Telling You

Quarry 1Ever wonder if your builder is giving you the full story?

At Quarry View, we know that the first step to “Relationships built on strong foundations” begins with being trustworthy and transparent, but does every builder operate this way?

Some of the most common things your builder may not be telling you include:

Hidden Costs - The true cost of hiring the cheapest builder may be more than you’re willing to pay - cheap materials, sloppy workmanship, and hidden costs are most likely lurking behind the attractive initial estimates and vague “allowances”.

If the price seems too good to be true, the builder probably isn’t telling you about hidden costs and the sacrifices you’ll need to make in your building design and quality.

Review an estimate with care and ask lots of questions!

Little Details - A good builder should have knowledge of suitable materials and logistics applicable for your building project and will share the best and most relevant options.

Quarry 2In most cases, filtering out irrelevant and overwhelming small details, leaves room to focus on the important ones.

If you have specific products or methods that you’d like to incorporate into the construction process, ensure that your builder is aware of this and can confirm that it will work for your home, barn, or commercial structure.

Design Improvement - Most communicative builders will provide suggestions, advice, and new ideas that strengthen your design plans.

Quarry 3As a professional timber frame builder, Quarry View partners with you for every step of your construction project.

Whether you’re building a home, barn, wedding venue, or office building, you’ll want your builder to tell you the insider information they’ve learned over the years and not withhold beneficial guidance!

Your vision, paired with a quality builder’s expertise and open communication is a recipe for success!

Who needs insurance? You, most likely! Go to Fry's Insurance

Fry's Equine Insurance has a policy designed for you whether you own your own farm or lease property to run your equine operation, or you are an independent instructor or trainer going to different locations, or you host shows and/or clinics.

Frys 1Fry’s can also help protect your equine club or association and the individual horse owner.

When a property has an equine business (boarding, training, lessons, etc.) most homeowners policies may be lacking important coverage for both property and liability claims.

frys 2An equine insurance agent can help you decide the best way to protect yourself.

As insurance companies are requiring farm owners to get proof of insurance from trainers/instructors, clinicians, and clubs who come to their property, Fry’s Equine Insurance can help there as well by providing long or short-term policies for these business and associations.

frys 3The individual horse owner also needs to think about liability coverage.

If their horse hurts someone or damages property, you could be named in a claim and your boarding facility’s policy will not cover you (and many homeowners' policies will not either).

Whether you need to insure your farm or equine business (boarding, lessons, training, shows, clinics), club or association, or your horse (mortality, medical, loss of use), Fry’s Equine Insurance Agency can help you.

Give Fry's a call at 614-875-3711 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for a free, no-obligation quote.

Crickside Barns – Quality Rustic Timberframe horse barns and shelters

LOYSVILLE, Pa--There is an art to building a good-looking horse barn, and there is nothing quite like the rustic appeal of a well built, tastefully designed barn when it is done right.

Crickside 1Having such a barn can showcase your horses and greatly add to the property value of your farm or ranch.

Timber frame construction uses large wooden beams to provide the structure of a building.

This adds a great amount of rustic appeal as well as providing a solid structural soundness that will last for generations to come.

Crickside 2This makes timber frame construction a great option when building a horse barn.

The folks over at Crickside Barns, in Central Pennsylvania, know this, and they bring a lot of valuable experience to the table when they design and build a horse barn.

They specialize in Timber Frame construction, and have built a wide variety of horse barns, shelters, and other types of structures.

All of the projects they build have a strong rustic appeal and are of a quality that will last for generations.
