Jahnke Construction

Jahnke Construction is a family-owned post-frame builder in Athens, WI, run by father and son David and Ben Jahnke for more than 40 years. The company builds custom barndominiums, post-frame structures, and ladder frame buildings, and its site reports more than 1,000 buildings constructed. Beyond barndominiums, the service list covers dairy facilities such as milking parlors, equine stables and riding arenas, garages, and commercial shops.

On materials, Jahnke specializes in FABRAL metal wall systems and Everlast metal products, and it installs in-floor heating. The company is a member of the National Frame Builders Association, holds BBB accreditation, and states it is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. The service area spans Central and Northern Wisconsin, with named towns including Wausau, Stevens Point, Merrill, Antigo, Tomahawk, Rhinelander, Minocqua, Eagle River, Shawano, Park Falls, Hayward, Ashland, and Superior.

The website does not spell out shell versus turnkey delivery, so buyers should confirm how far Jahnke takes interior finish-out on a residential barndominium. For rural Wisconsin owners who want a pole-building specialist with named metal suppliers and a long local track record, Jahnke is a straightforward candidate to bid a barndominium shell or full build.
