Insulate Once. Regret Never.
A pole barn without insulation is a summer oven and a winter freezer. If you’re planning to spend more than five minutes inside your building — or store anything you care about — you need to insulate it right the first time.
We don’t mess with cheap batting that droops after the first freeze or “quick-fix kits” that belong in YouTube videos — not real buildings. Our team installs multi-layer, high-R-value systems designed to keep Colorado cold out and your energy bills down.
Want comfort? Lower operating costs? A quieter interior? It all starts with smart insulation. And yes, we handle new builds *and* retrofits — so whether you’re planning ahead or fixing a past mistake, we’ve got your back.
We’ve insulated barns, garages, workshops, and barndominiums across Colorado’s Front Range. Our work holds up through blizzards, dust storms, and summer scorchers — because we build for where we live.
Serving Douglas, Elbert, Arapahoe, and surrounding Colorado counties.
Pole Barn Insulation Options
Not all insulation is created equal. From everyday use to extreme environments, we offer a range of fiberglass vapor barrier systems built to keep your pole barn dry, efficient, and comfortable year-round.
Normal Strength
A solid entry-level option for typical pole barns. This durable vapor barrier offers reliable thermal control, basic condensation resistance, and easy installability—ideal for everyday storage and light-use buildings.
Superior Strength (WMP-10)
Engineered for higher performance and tighter climates. This layer offers better thermal retention, improved moisture blocking, and dependable condensation control — perfect for livestock areas and seasonal workspace use.
Industrial Strength (WMP-30)
A step up for demanding jobs. WMP-30 insulation adds extra tensile strength, long-term vapor protection, and a more rugged facing — built to handle machinery shops, heavy traffic, and large square footage.
Premium Strength (WMP-50)
Our most advanced insulation system. WMP-50 delivers top-tier vapor control, thermal performance, and tear resistance for extreme conditions — ideal for heated barndos, year-round workshops, and mission-critical storage.

Truss Insulation: Above or Below?
Installing Fiberglass Insulation Beneath the Trusses
Retrofitting an existing pole barn? This is the move. Installing fiberglass-faced insulation beneath the trusses gives you full access without demo work. It’s fast, efficient, and still leaves plenty of space for airflow above — which means no trapped moisture and no mold headaches.
Start at one end, staple it up under each truss. Overlap the seams. Keep it tight. For extra support, use banding straps or tension wires. Want it to last? Tape those seams and seal around any penetrations — that’s how the pros do it.
This method is perfect when the barn is already built and you’re sick of sky-high energy bills. It improves climate control, keeps your building dry, and gives you a clean look with easy access for upgrades.
Why Add Reflective Insulation?
Fiberglass is your workhorse. Reflective is your secret weapon. Together, they create a powerhouse barrier that controls temperature, blocks moisture, and slashes energy costs. If you’re building smart — not just fast — reflective insulation is the edge you need.
1. Fast, No-Hassle Install
Lay it down, seal it up, and you’re done. Reflective insulation rolls out over purlins with double-sided tape and a bit of sag for airflow. It goes in quick and stays put — even when the wind’s howling.
2. Blocks Radiant Heat
Your metal roof gets scorching in summer. Reflective insulation can bounce up to 97% of that radiant heat before it turns your barn into an oven. It’s like sunglasses for your structure.
3. Fights Mold & Mildew
Mold doesn’t just look bad — it eats away at your investment. Reflective insulation helps shut down the moisture cycle that leads to fungal growth in walls and ceilings.
4. Keeps Pests Out
Rodents and birds love fluffy places to nest. Reflective insulation gives them zero chance. No fibers. No gaps. No squatters.
5. Crushes Condensation
Warm air hits cold metal? You’ve got condensation — and with it, rust, rot, and regret. Reflective insulation levels the temperature difference to keep your roof drip-free.
6. Reduces Air Intrusion
Air carries moisture, toxins, even smoke. Reflective barriers slow that airflow down, helping regulate interior temps and prevent cross-contamination between zones.
7. Stops Leak Points
No more drips at screw heads. Reflective insulation compresses tight around fasteners, sealing out moisture and locking in thermal performance.
8. Acts as a Vapor Barrier
With reinforced foil facing and a closed-cell core, reflective insulation is an elite-level vapor barrier — sealing out moisture before it ever becomes a problem.
9. Silences Rain & Hail
Steel roofs are loud. Reflective insulation dampens the sound of downpours and hail, turning your barn into a space you can actually work in — even during a storm.
Fiberglass vs Reflective Insulation
Which insulation is right for your barn? Here’s how fiberglass-faced (VR-R) and reflective insulation stack up — not the hype, just the facts.
Where We Build in Colorado
From snow-covered mountain towns to wide-open plains, we’ve hammered posts and raised steel in every corner of Colorado. Whether you’re two minutes from Main Street or off a gravel road with no cell service — we’ll meet you there.
Here’s where we build most often:
- 🔹 Pueblo, Colorado Springs & El Paso County
- 🔹 Castle Rock, Denver Metro & South Suburbs
- 🔹 Eastern Plains: Limon, Hugo, Burlington
- 🔹 Western Slope & High Country: Durango, Steamboat, Vail, Aspen, Buena Vista
- 🔹 Remote acreage? No problem. We build where others won’t.
If it’s on the Colorado map — we’ve probably built there. And if not, we’re ready to be the first.
We Build Local
While metal building kits are typically manufactured out of state, everything else we put into your project is homegrown right here in Colorado. From the lumber and hardware to the hands swinging the hammers — your build supports local businesses, workers, and families.
Our framing packages come from Moore Lumber & Hardware, Colorado’s largest independent lumber yard. And our crews? 100% local. They live here. Their kids go to your schools. And when they get paid, they spend their dollars in your town — not at a corporate office across the country.
When you choose Dream Home Innovations, you’re not just building a pole barn or workshop — you’re investing in the same Colorado communities we all call home.
