SJS Premier Buildings

SJS Premier Buildings is a 3rd-generation post-frame builder that has been operating since 1980, based in Winterset, Iowa. The company serves 15 central Iowa counties, including Madison, Warren, Marion, Jasper, Marshall, Story, Boone, Polk, Greene, Dallas, Guthrie, Adair, Union, Clarke, and Lucas, putting Des Moines and its surrounding communities inside its working territory. SJS is an authorized Wick Buildings builder, which means projects use Wick's engineered package: its lumber, UL-listed steel, and steel fastener systems, backed by Wick's engineering.

The company's scope runs across agricultural, equestrian, commercial, residential, and suburban post-frame work, covering machine sheds, garages, shops, offices, retail buildings, and shouses, the shop-house category that overlaps with barndominiums. The process starts with 3D design services so clients can see the building before construction, moves through engineering, and finishes with construction by the company's own crews. SJS also handles building repair, and both financing and warranty options are available.

The company describes keeping customers involved throughout the build rather than handing off between departments. For central Iowa buyers, the combination of a national kit manufacturer's engineering and a local crew that has been building in the area for more than 4 decades is the core of what SJS offers.
