Built on Engineering, Experience, and Installer Respect
Anthem Built wasn’t created in a boardroom. It was built in the field.
Anthem Built, LLC is a family- and friend-owned company based in Varna, Illinois — a small town of about 400 people in north-central Illinois. Since 1994, we’ve made our living building post-frame structures the same way most contractors do: digging holes, setting posts, climbing ladders, and solving problems on real jobsites.
For years, our focus was new construction. But around 2015, the calls started changing. More and more customers were asking the same question:
“Do you repair rotted-off poles?”
At the time, very few contractors were willing to take on those repairs. They were labor-heavy, disruptive, and inefficient using traditional methods. But we saw something different – a massive, underserved need and an opportunity to do the work better.
So we went to work.
Over the next several years, we developed and refined systems to repair and reinforce post-frame columns without tearing buildings apart. Those systems were tested, adjusted, and proven on our own jobs – often with two-person crews completing repairs in a single day, sometimes in just a few hours.
As demand grew, so did the calls – not just locally, but from across the country. Contractors from California to Maine, Florida to Texas wanted access to the same tools and methods. That’s when we made the decision to manufacture our own products, invest in engineering, and build a system we could stand behind.
Today, Anthem Built manufactures patented, proprietary post-frame repair products and supports certified installers nationwide. We still build. We still repair. And everything we provide to installers is rooted in real-world experience – not theory.
