"Henry and his team are wonderful to work with. They communicate well, explain what and why as well as show up when they say they will. Their work is top notch. They do more than framing as our project required many different skills. They did them all well."

"I had a 24x48' RV garage built next to my house. The Corona Virus caused delays, which was understandable. However the quality of my project was outstanding. I get compliments all the time on how sturdy it is and how it matches our house. People regularly stop by to ask about it and complement it. His quote was reasonable and accurate. He will work with you on customizing any detail you want. His subcontractors he uses are all very good. I enjoyed working with them and talking to each one. They all did great work. He stays in communication with all the details of the job. I could ask weekly questions along the way that helped me understand what to expect. I would definitely recommend his company for garage builds. The building process that starts with getting the plans drawn and the city approval takes longer than I realized (not a reflection on the company). But in the end, I am very happy with my choice to select the Builders of AZ to build my project."

"After years of debating it, we finally added a large addition to our home and it completely changed the dynamic of our living space. The master bedroom/bathroom is everything we dreamt it could be. Justin and his team were extremely professional and I couldn’t be happier with the end result!!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property

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.
