Which states allow shipping container homes to be built?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.</p><p>The International Code Council (ICC) offers <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ICCG52019">guidelines for home builders</a> on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.</p><p> </p><p></p></div>

What is the best material for building a garage?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure. </p><p>Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to build a garage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually best to build a garage in the summer or fall, with most homeowners preferring the fall. Winter might bring frozen ground that can make excavating and pouring a foundation a challenge, and spring tends to bring more rainfall, which can delay the building process. Most homeowners who DIY portions of their garage build prefer fall over summer, as the temperature is usually cooler and more conducive to the strenuous work required to build the structure. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to convert a garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can expect a garage conversion project to take an average of between two and four months. Your timeline can vary, though, and it could take six months or longer if you need to run utilities to a detached garage, make structural changes to the building, or carry out foundation and structural repairs before the conversion begins.</p></div>

Q: Can garages be designed to match the home's existing style?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals offer design services that ensure cohesive appearances.</p></div>

Very professional, guarantees his work, clean up his mess and cuts the fence too size and carries it to the road so it can be picked up. I would recommend Rob The Builder LLC for anyone needing any kind of fence, deck, & anything made with wood he can build it.

We asked for the fence to be close to our chain-link fence. It had a 2-foot and larger space between the fence and the chain link. It was not quite straight either. We had to tear down quite a bit of it and redo it ourselves. They may be great at power washing but not at fence building.

"An excellent team of workers tore down the damaged exterior wall on one morning, them rebuilt it the next morning. The workers were very courteous, and friendly, worked almost silently and very efficiently. Not a lot of talk, each man knew what to do, and worked together as a well run team. They also did an excellent job of cleaning up the debris."
