Our Story

Welcome to Woodys Barns, Florida’s premier family-owned and operated custom barn builder. Founded in 2008 by Elwood "Woody" Long and his son-in-law Kent Bowers, our roots in the Central Florida area have allowed us to stay connected to our customers, their animals and barns that we have built. For nearly two decades, we have proudly extended our family footprint across 44 Florida counties, designing and erecting beautiful, high-quality agricultural structures. From our office staff to our project managers, we employ family and long-time friends—including Kent Bowers as CEO, Michelle Bowers handling financials, Zack Bowers managing production, Dave overseeing office and permitting, and Trinidy Bowers heading up marketing. Equally, Kevin Bowers leading the warehouse, Phil and Billy working to ensure we have everything we need to run smoothly. This tight-knit structure makes our internal communication simple, streamlined, and near flawless. Because we operate as a true family business, we treat every client like one of our own. We guide you down a dedicated, custom-tailored path from initial design concepts to final inspections, ensuring your livestock, vehicles, or equipment get the rock-solid structural home they deserve
