From the first lean-to to modern high-rises, little matters more to building owners than keeping out the weather. Weather protection is a direct result of build quality. If a construction project was rushed, or used cheap materials, or skipped steps in treatment… well, you’re probably not adequately protected from rain, much less the tougher weather Clarksville can get.

We’ve had a lot of stormy days in Clarksville lately, so by now you’ll know if your building is weather-protected. Have you seen stains on the corners of your ceilings? Damp basements, leaky attics, or condensation on windowsills are all bad signs, too. They can even lead to mold or rotting wood! Unfortunately, the only real weather protection you can get after construction are band-aid processes, to shore up warped foundation or insulate unprotected windows.

That’s why weather protection must be considered during the build process. At Buildings Plus, we offer superior construction quality from only local Amish communities and steel developers. Their finely-honed processes check that every joint, nail, and beam is up to code. Rest assured, our buildings will weather any storm.

The last year or so has been a wild ride, hasn’t it? I don’t know anyone who has just continued with their same-old, same-old during this time. We’ve all had travel cancelled, or lost jobs, or spent long periods locked down away from family. The silver lining here is that many of us have also had an opportunity, amidst all the turmoil, to start anew. That’s exactly the sort of attitude we at Buildings Plus are running with now.

I, for example, have moved residences (twice) and managed to be among the mass layoffs at the same workplace (twice…) in the span of a year. Not bad, right? Not bad at all, because now I get to rejoin my family in Clarksville and work from home. For me, that means sitting with my laptop beside the river, while the Cumberland floats peacefully by.

Clarksville is a wonderful community, and rapidly expanding to welcome all sorts of newcomers. Restaurants are popping up down the street, and there’s a new sort of bustle. For those of us who have been here for awhile, it’s all good news. The world is becoming digital at a much faster pace now, too—raise your hand, anyone who took a Zoom call this past year? It’s time to bring Buildings Plus into the present, with platforms that allow you to connect with us when and where you need, rather than strictly during open hours at the lot.

There are a lot of changes coming—just look at our nice new website, though still in progress—but we will forever remain the same Buildings Plus that you have relied on for over a decade to provide quality and affordable sheds, garages, and much more. You’ll still see Moon around, and the same craftsmanship and dedication you have come to expect. We think you’ll like the updates just as much, and can’t wait to share it all with you. Stay tuned!
