About us

Pole barns and barndominiums, from the dirt work up

Minnesota Barn Builders is Olson Built and Excavating, based in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, in Goodhue County about 40 miles southeast of the Twin Cities. We're a licensed builder, and we build anywhere within 100 miles: the Twin Cities metro, southern and southeast Minnesota, western Wisconsin and northern Iowa.

We do our own excavating, so a job starts with our crew clearing the site, building the pad and cutting in the drive and the utility trench. Then we put up the building: pole barns and pole sheds, barndominiums, post frame buildings, machine sheds, horse barns, garages and shops, from the posts and trusses to the steel, doors, liner and insulation.
