The Right Horse Barn Builder Is a Crucial Choice

AFE Builders: Expert Craftsmanship, Enduring Quality

We get it—finding the right builder for your barn can be tough. No one wants to deal with a company that cuts corners or delivers a building that doesn’t meet your needs.

At AFE Builders, we understand because we started on a farm ourselves. We know how much safe, functional, and durable structures matter—not only for your animals’ health but also for your bottom line. With farm-tested experience and superior craftsmanship, we’re committed to building exactly what you need while keeping the process clear and stress-free from start to finish.

Custom Design Solutions

You get a detailed sketch of your project to visualize the end product, and each barn, arena, or garage is 100% custom—never one-size-fits-all.

Amish Craftsmanship

Old-world honesty meets modern, practical design for results that last. Quality is non-negotiable to us.

Built to Last

Every building is engineered with
more snow load and wind bracing
than required, so your structure
stands strong for generations.

What Homeowners and Horse Enthusiasts Are Saying About AFE Builders

"We had a 20x24x12 pole garage built by these guys, and it far exceeded our expectations! The whole process was a breeze. The communication was excellent throughout the build, and the crew worked really hard in both heat and rain to get our building just the way we wanted it. We are super pleased with our new workshop, and we would definitely call them again if we need more work done."

Eric

"I was very satisfied with the work AFE Builders did on building my pole barn. They always showed up when they said they would. Their work was efficient, fast, and excellent. Their workers were very respectful and polite, always leaving the area neat and clean when they left. I will certainly refer them and would use them again."

Butch Groom

“Aaron and his staff worked very closely with me to make sure I received exactly what I wanted. His crew showed up when expected and completed the work a day early. Knowing construction, I inspected their work as they progressed and found that not only did they not cut corners, but in many cases, they did better than required. The extra finished details in the stall doors and barn doors are just one example. The finished project was better than I had expected. They were not only very neat but also extremely courteous and well-mannered. There is nothing involved in the construction project that I would have changed.”

Do you handle the entire project, including site work like excavation?

Clients often ask if we manage turnkey projects and handle excavation. Yes, we do!

This allows us to create a comprehensive plan that is tailored to your property and project needs.

How long does it take to get a quote?

This is a common question from our clients. Because every project we build is custom, our quotes are based on a unique design developed just for you. After our initial consultation to understand your goals, we will create and deliver a detailed quote. The exact timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your project.

How long has AFE Builders been in business?

AFE Builders, LLC was started in 2015 in Quarryville, PA. The company was started by Aaron Esh, who is Amish and lived on a dairy farm. His firsthand experience with the housing and safety needs of horses and cows was a key factor in starting the business.
