"Philip (GC) used a great painting crew. I've contracted several painting jobs over the past 15 years and these guys were, hands down, the best. They were knowledgeable, customer oriented, did a great paint job, and left a spotless job site. 5 stars from me! Philip also proved to be on top of the job. Reviewed my needs before the job, and followed up after the job was completed to assure satisfaction. Very professional."

"Our 1980s kitchen was gloomy and tight, so we contacted J W Adragna for a complete redesign over the summer. They removed a non-load-bearing wall to open up the area, significantly altering the flow of our home. What jumped out was their pre-construction budgeting; there were no "surprise" charges mid-project."

"Initial contact with Acra was in mid November and went relatively smoothly.  My wife and I made our wants known and received a ball park estimate of the cost.   We left a down payment of approximately half the cost for the project as it was needed to start purchasing supplies.  This is normal and was expected. 
Project start date was set for the end of the first week in January to allow for holidays to pass without rushing any of the subcontractors.  The only problem we encountered is that Acra wanted to rush the tear out before any of  the actual installation was really ready.  This made it difficult on my wife and I as we intended to live in the house while the work proceeded.  Consequently we were without any sinks in the house except for the deep sink in the garage for a period of three days.  I believe that the work could have been staggered or compressed so as to prevent this lag time. 
There were six sub contractors involved besides Acra's own tear out and touch up technicians.  All of the subcontractors and the Acra technicians performed admirably.  We were very satisfied with their work.  This involved the following:
-  Electrical: Addition of electrical outlet, changing and addition of lighting fixtures and switching for same.
-  Plumbing: Changing of water heater and addition of hot water recirculating system, Installation of four sinks in the two bathrooms and kitchen, installation of new toilets and new faucets and fixtures in same.
-  Granite suppliers:  Providing three acceptable slabs of 3 cm Creama de Bordeau Brazilian Granite.
-  Granite fabricators:  Measuring, cutting, polishing and installation of counters in kitchen and two bathrooms.
-  Tile installers:  Install back splash in kitchen.
-  Mirror fabricators:  Installation of three custom mirrors in the two bathrooms.
Of all these the only problems we ran into is with the materials supplied by the buyers at Acra as follows.
-   One of the bathroom sinks initially ordered was broken and not noticed until the day it had to be delivered tothe granite fabricators.  This could have caused a major delay but Acra owned up and replaced with better sinks purchased in Tucson.
-   The wire baskets ordered for the kitchen sink were ordered in the wrong size.  This did not cause a delay in the work but is inconvenient for us as the sinks are not protected from scratches while the new baskets arrive.
Considering the magnitude of the project, these delays were relatively miner and cause no real additional inconvenience.

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

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. 

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

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.

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.
