🔨 Another Pole Barn Transformation by DS Custom Carpentry LLC!

We gave this pole barn a fresh, modern upgrade by removing the traditional barn doors and installing accordion-style sliding glass doors, new service doors, and a new garage door!

Not only does this transformation improve the overall appearance, but it also creates a more functional, accessible, and efficient space while bringing in beautiful natural light!

Out with the OLD, in with the NEW!

Sometimes the smallest upgrades make a BIG difference!

One of our latest project involved removing an old, worn-out utility sink and replacing it with a clean, modern setup featuring a deep basin and updated faucet.

Not every transformation has to be a major renovation to make a space more functional and appealing!

At DS Custom Carpentry LLC, we take pride in every project, big or small! 🛠️

Never underestimate what the right trim can do to a room.

A few finishing touches can completely transform a space, adding warmth, character, and that custom-built feel.

Sometimes it’s the details that make the biggest difference.

From an unfinished space to a warm, Utah-inspired sanctuary.

This transformation was all about creating a room that felt warm, inviting, and connected to the beautiful property surrounding it. Our customers wanted that rustic Utah mountain-lodge feel—natural wood, stone, warmth, texture, and a space that immediately makes you want to settle in and stay awhile.

We leaned heavily into natural materials. The rich wood-planked ceiling brings warmth from the moment you walk in, while the reclaimed wood feature wall adds character that you simply can’t recreate with new materials. Every knot, grain, and imperfection gives the room its own personality. We carried those earthy elements into the stone fireplace surround, creating a cozy focal point that gives the entire space that Western mountain-retreat feel.

One of the biggest changes was adding three sliding glass doors. We didn’t want this beautiful room to feel closed off. The additional glass completely opened it up, flooded the space with natural light, and—most importantly—gave our customers the ability to sit inside and enjoy the acreage the good Lord has blessed them with. When you’re surrounded by beautiful land, we believe the inside of your home should allow you to enjoy it too.

We finished the space with warm recessed lighting, rustic wall sconces, dark ceiling fans, natural wood trim, and layers of different textures. Nothing needed to be overly polished or perfectly matched. The goal was warm, rugged, comfortable and timeless—like a little piece of Utah brought right into their home.

This wasn’t just about finishing another room. It was about creating a sanctuary—a place to turn on the fireplace, watch the sun go down over the property, gather with family, or simply sit quietly and appreciate what God has provided.

Warm wood. Natural stone. Tons of light. Beautiful views. And a room our customers can enjoy for years to come.

Another transformation we’re proud to put the DS Custom Carpentry name on.

Another gutter job in the books!

Somehow, we seem to have a special talent for getting caught in random storms that weren’t even in the forecast.

But hey… maybe Mother Nature is just making sure we get to test the product before we leave!

Gutters installed and officially rain-tested. ✅
