How a Building Recover Saves Time, Money, and Stress
Is your post-frame building starting to show its age? The siding is faded, the roof is weathered, and the insulation isn’t keeping up. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to start from scratch.
A building recover is a smart, cost-effective alternative to a full rebuild. Instead of tearing down your structure, Greiner upgrades it with durable steel siding, strong metal roofing, modern doors, and full insulation packages—extending its life and boosting performance for years to come.
What Is a Building Recover?
A building recover is essentially a renovation or remodel of your post-frame building. We take your existing structure and give it a second life—upgrading both form and function without the cost or downtime of new construction.
Across Iowa and Illinois, we’ve helped farmers, business owners, and homeowners transform outdated barns, sheds, and shops into spaces that are modern, energy-efficient, and built to last.
Why Consider a Recover?
Save Big → Recovers can cost up to two-thirds less than new construction.
Save Time → Many projects are completed in 30 days or less—some even in just a few days, depending on the scope.
Save Stress → Keep your structure’s footprint while upgrading everything that matters.
Increase Value → Modernized siding, roofing, and insulation extend your building’s lifespan and boost resale value.
