Over the last three years The Barndo Co . has gone from initial concept to statewide success . Founded in 2021 , the company has taken South Carolina by storm with its second-to-none service and innovative architectural offering . Company Founder and Managing Partner , TJ Norris ,
explains how it all began : “ The company was first established by myself and my partner Ross Ledford . I had experience running a real estate company and he ’ d worked in the construction industry for a long time . I would often show him properties , and we ’ d discuss the kind of work we could do on them . One day , he told me he was building a barndominium . I was fascinated by the concept . The site for his original project was just down the road . He ’ d built it for his in-laws , and so we were allowed to go in and have a look around .
“ I was so impressed . The space felt completely different to anything else on the market . I told him : ‘ Man , we could sell a million of these .’ And that ’ s what we decided to do . We shook hands , said we ’ d both go in 50 / 50 on the project , and that ’ s when The Barndo Co . was born .
