In 1965 the Woodford boys Dick, Tom, Art & Harry started Woodford Brothers. They were well known for building structures that were unique. In the early 1970’s they became very busy fixing structures, most commonly old timber framed barns. The typical customers back then were small dairy farms that were operating in these old structures as their primary place of business. Through the years the Woodford brothers developed a few unique repair techniques that served their customers well. Today Mike Woodford and his team are continuing the traditions as Woodford Barn Repair. In April of 2023 brothers Tom and Mike Woodford decided to to focus on the parts of the business they were most passionate about. According to Mike ” that is why Woodford Barn Repair exists”.
