Questions from Ashville landowners
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
After storms, should I think about stronger buildings?
Severe weather has hit this area before, so it is wise to talk about engineering with your builder. RBC designs with experienced engineering professionals, and no building can be promised safe from every storm.[2]
Can I replace an old tin roof on a farm building?
Metal roofing and siding are common replacements for aging barns and sheds. The condition of the structure underneath matters, so a visit or photos help.[2]
Do you offer poultry house options?
RBC designs chicken houses and has a sister company for poultry equipment. Discuss your needs by phone. Discuss your needs by phone.[3]
A courthouse town with a long memory
Ashville became the county seat in 1821 and was incorporated in 1822. It was first named St. Clairsville and then renamed for John Ash, the first white settler, who arrived in 1817. The St. Clair County Courthouse built in 1844 still stands.[2]
A town this old is surrounded by rural land, and many properties around it are farms, pastures and wooded acreage. Pole barns, equipment sheds and shops are common building types for that kind of land, and metal roofing is a way to keep older structures in service.[2]
