Testimonials

  • ~ BLAKE SHIPPE DULUTH, MN

    “In 2019 my girlfriend and I had a playhouse designed and built by Dan Hanes of Barntiques Custom Wood & Design. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dan to develop this project for us. Everything about the experience has exceeded our expectations (service, price, communication, quality). One of the most appreciated aspects in working with Barntiques is how dedicated and genuine Dan was in delivering exactly what we wanted. He has a very artistic approach, which for us, made him the perfect person for our Daughter's playhouse. He takes great pride in his work and wants each piece to stand uniquely on it's own.

    We would HIGHLY recommend Barntiques to anyone who's considering a custom wood design project. You will not be disappointed!”

  • ~ BETTY FOLEY, MN

    “I drove past these whimsical buildings for 2-3 years with the dream of owning one someday. We finally stopped and found the perfect building for my garden. It is exactly what my garden entrance needed. Every time we drive into the yard we look at it and smile and we have had so many compliments. I am trying to figure out where I could put another one.

    Love his work!”

    “Working with Dan was a pleasure. He understood our project and budget and went the extra mile to bring us the perfect little shed. If you’re looking for the typical builder you’ll find them for a dime a dozen, but when looking for someone who can create something that speaks to your uniqueness don’t hesitate to contact Dan and let him create a garden oasis for you.”

CROOKED CREATIONS

I love the creative process and enjoy helping people. My “Crooked Creations” are the perfect marriage of these two passions. The roof is what makes my buildings stand apart from the rest. I hand-bend each rafter and use reclaimed materials to create that fairy tale look and feel. We build our quirky sheds with various unique features, including driftwood railings, cedar shake roofs, salvaged stained glass windows or reclaimed barn wood siding, to name a few.

No two sheds are identical in shape or appearance. These outbuildings are used as Garden Sheds, Greenhouses, Chicken Coops, Outdoor Saunas, Custom Playhouses, Outhouses and She-Sheds. If you want a building that turns heads, please reach out, and let’s create your vision together! We will create a conversation piece for you that is as unique as you are.
