"Byron is knowledgeable . He had several helpful suggestions. He and his team are fast, efficient, and good. They had our deck torn apart, repaired, and painted in one day! Because the paint was so wet when they left, they came back the next day to see if it needed any touch ups. They did exactly what we wanted done. They also cleaned up and hauled off all the old stuff."

"Dustin and his team were EXCELLENT! He was a great communicator and always replied quickly to any question that I had. He showed up every day and they always worked for a full day! They began and finished the project in the promised time frame. When there were changes to the project he adjusted the needed materials list and his team adjusted to the scope of the project without spiking the cost of the bid. The finish product was FANTASTIC! I would hire him again for any project that we are working on! (His team did demolition of 700sqft, framing, insulation of cinderblock walls, textured and smooth sheetrock installed and finished.)"

"Marcus was awesome! Very trustworthy and always does quality work. We had seen some total transformation renovations he has done on other properties. So when we were renovating our home, we brought him in on several projects. He painted interior walls & trim. He also helped remove a wall between our kitchen and living room, did plumbing, lighting, garage shelving, door & window installation, floor tile, hung beadboard on a wall and ceiling & helped build a huge deck. One thing great about Marcus is he is extremely creative and has a keen design eye. He always had great ideas throughout our remodel. Finally, Marcus is a problem solver. When we weren't sure how we could get something to work or what to do, Marcus can always figure out a way. On top of he came up with several ideas to make working on a project more efficient saving time and money. We highly recommend Harris Renovations!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
