Jim and his team of helpers--Allen in particular--recreated my kitchen, living, dining, and laundry areas. Their first project was installing two high line toilets in the bath areas. With Jim's guidance, the decision was made to take down the two kitchen cabinets and wall that blocked the view to the living, dining and deck areas. Jim suggested the door from the dining area to the guest room be closed in so we could move the refrigerator to that area and build storage cabinets in the previous refrigerator space. It was decided that an appliance garage would be built about the counter to hide the coffee pot, toaster, can opener and two large drawers would be built below the counter to hold dinner plates, cups, saucers, bowls and other kitchen items. Instead of losing cabinet space, we added several square feet of beautiful new cabinets as well as a total of four drawers! Pull out drawers were installed in each of the cabinet areas as well as under the sink making it very easy to access the trash can and cleaning products under the sink.
Jim and Allen worked diligently to frame out the kitchen bar so that the area would be level for the granite installation. Electrical work was relocated so lights, electrical outlets and garbage disposal elements were included in the granite design. With the addition of the white Taj Mahal granite, this area is now a key focal point of the room and a beautiful design element.
Since wall space was limited in the living area, the coat closet opening was covered and the opening moved to the laundry room, thus providing much needed space for decorative accessories. Jim's experience in remodeling townhomes lead him to suggest that a vent be installed over the stove and place the microwave in the newly built cabinet.
Ceiling fans were wired in to the living room and master bedroom. Fluorescent ceiling lighting was re-routed. A rolling storage cart was created with the two cabinets that were removed from the kitchen and the property is ready for renters to enjoy the beauty both indoors and outdoors at this Segovia Lake property. Jim will be returning to do a covering for the deck once this homeowner has saved up some more money. Jim is a true professional who is honest, works hard, and gets the job done in a timely fashion with reasonable pricing. My mother and I contracted with him in 2012 in her $25,000 remodeling job. He has exceeded our expectations in both projects. He has a keen grasp of costs of materials and labor and he willingly shares his knowledge with his customers.
"Jim was great, very glad we found him. He rebuilt stairs and landings, installed stairway rails, did tile in the kitchen, replaced storm doors and more. He is an excellent craftsman, able to manage project work all by himself in good time. He was neat, respectful of someone else's home, polite, jovial, personable, very interesting person to chat with. Yes he is expensive but I understand the experienced tradesmen command a good price and his quality of work justifies it. And yes there really are is a "bird dog(s)" that we got to meet, great pups !! Thanks Jim, we will be calling you again."
"Fantastic! From start to finish!! The owner of the company could not have been more helpful! His crew were just as great! Respectful, timely and cleaned up when done?. Highly recommend!"
"Carlos and his people took great care of the painting on the interior of my home. Easy to work with and communicated well. I would definitely use CB painting again."
"He puts in the work to get the job done correctly and efficiently. He went above and beyond to even fix some items that weren’t listed and could have caused extra issues later on. Great attention to detail and could fix anything thrown at him. Communication was great. Glad to have a reliable, honest, and skilled handyman finally! Won’t use anyone else!"
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Your chicken coop needs to be off the ground to protect your chickens and avoid problems brought on by flooding, mud, and moisture. If you can't locate a high area to build the coop, you should build an elevated coop to ensure it stays dry.
Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.
Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.
