Inside a Custom Barndominium with Reynolds Custom Homes
Barndominiums are quickly becoming one of the most popular building trends across Texas. Combining durability, efficiency, and wide open design, these structures offer homeowners flexibility that traditional homes often cannot.
JR Insulation recently partnered with Reynolds Custom Homes on a custom barndominium project that perfectly showcases the advantages of this building style.
A Builder’s Vision
Brian Reynolds, owner of Reynolds Custom Homes, has spent many years building both residential and commercial structures throughout North Texas. Much of his work has traditionally been commercial construction such as medical offices and professional buildings.
Recently Brian has been exploring the growing demand for barndominiums.
This project began as a temporary living solution on his 10 acre property. The original plan was to build a barndominium while preparing to construct a traditional home later.
But once the project began taking shape, the plan changed.
The space, efficiency, and flexibility of the barndominium quickly won them over, and the structure is now becoming their permanent home.
A Structure Built for Space
The project features a massive 5,000 square foot structure with approximately 3,300 square feet of finished living space.
- 22 foot center ceiling height
- Large open span living area
- Second story loft
- Metal stud framing for durability
- Expansive garage and shop space
The tall open interior creates a dramatic entry experience and allows the living space to feel much larger than a traditional home layout.
Why Barndominiums Are Growing in Popularity
Barndominiums offer several major advantages compared to traditional construction:
- Faster construction timelines
- Lower overall building costs
- Large open floor plans
- High structural durability
- Flexible interior design options
In this project’s case, the structure went from framing to sheetrock stage in just about two months.
For many landowners in Texas, barndominiums are becoming an ideal solution for building custom homes while maintaining affordability.
Design Features
This custom home will include several standout design features:
- Custom built chandeliers
- 20 foot decorative beams
- Barrel ceilings and arches
- 100 inch fireplace
- Dedicated coffee bar
- Sports bar with dual televisions
- Large garage workspace
The design blends rustic character with modern living comfort.
The Importance of Insulation in a Barndominium
Large open spaces and metal structures make proper insulation critical for comfort and energy efficiency.
JR Insulation installed 1″ closed cell spray foam insulation plus 4″ open cell spray foam insulation on the walls and 6″ open cell spray foam insulation on the roof. This is the ideal combination for metal structures.
Quality insulation helps:
- Regulate indoor temperatures
- Prevent condensation inside metal structures
- Improve energy efficiency
- Reduce heating and cooling costs
The installation was completed quickly and efficiently, allowing the project to stay on schedule.

Brian was referred to JR Insulation through a trusted industry contact.
After comparing bids, JR Insulation provided a competitive price and completed the installation quickly with excellent workmanship.
The entire insulation installation was completed in just two days.
