If you’ve heard of a barndominium or a shouse, the idea of a SHOME® will feel familiar. A SHOME® is a custom post-frame metal building that combines a fully insulated workshop with beautifully designed living quarters. Homeowners throughout Iowa and Illinois, including areas like Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Peoria, and Springfield, choose SHOME® construction when they want a comfortable, efficient space to work in without leaving home. Whether you spend countless hours in your workshop or want a workspace that keeps you close to family, a SHOME® creates the perfect balance. To learn more about how this unique lifestyle works, explore our blog on the benefits of SHOME® living.
For many people, the shop is the heart of the home. A SHOME® lets you build the shop of your dreams while enjoying the comfort of a warm, inviting living space. These buildings offer impressive storage capabilities for RVs, boats, farm equipment, hobby collections, and more, making them ideal for homeowners in Iowa City, Rockford, and surrounding Midwest communities.
Every SHOME® is built around your goals. Some customers prefer a large shop with a modest residence, while others choose luxurious living quarters paired with a smaller workshop. Greiner Buildings takes time to understand how you want to use your property and provides custom floor plans that fit your lifestyle. Whether you are sizing up or simplifying your space, we offer design options that bring your vision to life.
Your SHOME® is more than a building. It’s a long-term investment in comfort, efficiency, and practicality. Our post-frame design creates open, adaptable layouts with the strength to handle Midwest weather conditions. High-quality insulation, energy-efficient features, durable metal siding, and custom interior finishes allow your space to function year-round, whether you’re working, relaxing, or hosting family and friends.
We also offer advanced 2D and 3D design previews so you can visualize your entire layout before construction begins. From heated shop floors and oversized garage doors to spacious kitchens and lofted bedrooms, your SHOME® is built with your lifestyle in mind.

Metal Homes in Illinois and Iowa
A post-frame home is a cost-effective solution for many. This type of home construction has a lower foundation cost, and has a faster build time than many traditional homes. A SHOME® is cost-effective if you don’t want to build your home and workshop separately.
You wouldn’t believe the amount of compliments I’ve gotten about the building. I will recommend Greiner Buildings to others and use them for future projects.
