The Hollow SeriesHonest Structure. Quiet Character. Built Right the First Time.
A compact, purposeful backyard building with genuine Appalachian craft in every board — for homeowners who want solid and right without pretense.
Who Is the Hollow Series Built For?
I want something solid, honest, and right — without overcomplicating it. Does that exist?
In the mountains, a hollow is a sheltered place — tucked in, purposeful, unhurried. A hollow doesn't announce itself. It belongs. That's exactly the character this series was designed to carry onto your property.
The Hollow Series is built for the homeowner who has a clear need and wants it met with real craftsmanship, not catalog corners. Whether you're reclaiming your garage, creating dedicated tool storage, or putting a proper building behind the house for the first time — this is the structure that does that job without compromise and without excess.
Every board is cut and set on your site by Ed and his sons. No subcontractors. No prefabricated wall panels lifted off a truck. What you get is a building framed the way mountain builders have always framed — plumb, square, and made to outlast the decade you bought it in.
This Series Fits You If —
You want a well-built backyard structure that handles real daily use, holds up through Kentucky and Ohio winters, and still looks right on the property ten years from now.
- You need dedicated storage that a real contractor — not a big-box kit — put together
- You want honest Appalachian character without paying for features you don't need
- You're placing it in a side yard or back corner where function matters most
- You want a structure that is complete, not a starting point for future repairs
- You want to talk to the builder directly — not a salesperson
How Every Hollow Series Build Is Framed
A Word From Ed
"The Hollow Series is the one I'd build for my own back property if I needed straightforward, solid storage. There's no compromise in how it's framed — the same beams, the same joists, the same floor system I use on every build. What changes is the footprint and the feature set, not the standard of work. If honest construction matters to you, this is the right starting point."

The Gap SeriesWhere Function Meets Architecture. A Deliberate Step Up.
More architectural presence, more included features, and a stronger visual statement — for homeowners who chose this intentionally, not by default.
Who Is the Gap Series Built For?
I want more than basic storage — but I want it to look like it belongs, not like an upgrade I added later.
In mountain geography, a gap is a passage — elevated above the hollow, purposeful in its position, chosen by the people who knew exactly where they were going. That's the character of a homeowner who selects this series.
The Gap Series is built for the homeowner who has thought about this more than once. You've looked at the property and decided the building needs to hold its own visually — not just hold your equipment. You want windows that let in real light. You want a roofline with genuine pitch. You want a wider door opening that handles what you actually own. And you want it to look like it was planned, not just placed.
This series includes more from the start. Wider entries, included windows, steeper optional rooflines, and an architectural footprint that reads as intentional from the driveway. Ed and his sons frame it on your site the same way they frame every build — no shortcuts, no production-line panels, no guesswork.
This Series Fits You If —
You want a backyard structure that earns attention without asking for it — one that looks finished and intentional the day it's built, and still looks right a decade later.
- Your building will be visible from the yard, driveway, or street — and that matters to you
- You want more features included from the start rather than added in later at higher cost
- You need a wider door opening to move equipment, lawn gear, or workspace items in and out freely
- You want natural light inside — windows that are part of the design, not an afterthought
- You want the building to complement the home's roofline and exterior, not contrast with it
- You'd rather talk to the man who builds it than explain your needs to someone who won't
How Every Gap Series Build Is Framed
A Word From Ed
"The Gap Series is where most of my homeowners land when they've actually thought it through. They came in thinking they wanted basic storage and walked away realizing they wanted a building that looked like they meant to put it there. That's what this series does — it gives you real architectural presence without requiring you to spec out every detail from scratch. The features that matter most are already included."

The Ridge SeriesThe Building That Defines the Property. Built to Command.
The highest roofline, the most included features, and the strongest architectural presence we build — for homeowners who want a structure people remember.
Who Is the Ridge Series Built For?
I want a building that looks like it was always supposed to be there — something that becomes part of the property's identity, not just part of the yard.
A ridge commands. You see it from across the property. Its silhouette is unmistakable. And in mountain country, the ridge is where you go when you've earned the view. That is the standard this series is built to.
The Ridge Series is for homeowners who have decided the backyard structure is not a utility add-on — it is a property feature. Something that a guest notices walking through the gate. Something that adds genuine character to an appraisal conversation. Something your grandchildren will still find standing, and still find beautiful.
With a steep Appalachian-character roofline — 10/12 or 12/12 pitch — a wider door opening included from the start, multiple windows, deep overhang detail, and your choice of board-and-batten or T1-11 siding, the Ridge Series arrives on your property looking finished. Not like a phase one. Not like something you'll upgrade later. Like a structure that was designed by someone who thought it all the way through.
Ed built his career in commercial construction — 35 years of it. The Ridge Series is what happens when that standard of thinking is applied to a backyard building.
This Series Fits You If —
You want the most complete, most architectural, most visually commanding structure we build — one that earns its place on the property and holds it for decades.
- The building will be a focal point of the yard, visible from the home and from the street
- You want a steeper Appalachian roofline that commands attention and sheds weather cleanly
- You want multiple windows included — real light, real ventilation, real daily usability
- You need a wide door opening that handles anything you own, from equipment to furniture
- You're thinking about this as a workshop, studio, creative space, or secondary structure — not just storage
- You want the building to feel like a deliberate architectural decision, not a purchase
- You want the man who builds it standing there when it's done, answering your questions directly
How Every Ridge Series Build Is Framed
A Word From Ed
"The Ridge Series is the one I put my full name behind. When I walk a property and a homeowner points to where this building is going, I'm already thinking about how it will look in ten years — how the roofline will read against the treeline, how the overhang will throw shadow in the afternoon. I've spent 35 years thinking about buildings that last. This is the series that reflects that standard most completely. If you want the best we build, this is it."
