"A decorative wooden fence had a gate which fell off of its hinges. Because it is a custom fence, the gate could not be purchased, and had to be built from scratch. The finished job was very well done at a fair and reasonable price. The crew was on time, knew what they were doing, and completed the work as scheduled and as promised. I am very pleased with how the gate turned out, and would hire TME again."

"I needed a new house built on a complex foundation. Construction Masters did an amazing job from start to finish. Mickey and Moshe listened to everything I was looking for and worked with my vision to turn it into a reality. Their attention to sight lines and details are excellent. Mickey took me through all the work of choosing lights, cabinets, fixtures, etc. The two of them work so well together! Mickey and Moshe were there every day of the week to provide oversight on the project. The philosophy of the company is one of excellence and honesty. I do not know this because it is on a website or brochure; I know it because I had the pleasure of being their client. If they create anything, from a stair banister to a luxury bath or a whole house, it will be done to the highest standards. The work they did building the whole house was so superb that when they finished, I asked to be their client again without considering any other builders. I am going to build an ADU on the other side of my property and it will be built by Construction Masters."

"We purchased a home with a renovation loan. Since I had hired Victor several times over the past couple years, he was my first choice for the project. We needed our kitchen installed, the laundry hook-ups and the popcorn ceiling covered up with bead board and trim and recessed lighting added. Victor is very easy to work with and communicate with. He is skilled and knowledgeable in every aspect of home renovations (electrical, plumbing, painting, carpentry, etc). We were extremely pleased with the work he completed and will hire him again for any and all future projects."

"We recently had KN Remodeling (Nathan) install a new alumawood patio cover in our backyard. We had an excellent experience with Nathan; he made sure that we got exactly what we wanted, and it was clear that he actually cares very much about  what we want, which is rare these days. I would recommend KN Remodeling to anyone who is looking for an honest, hardworking, and caring contractor."

"The adage “You get what you pay for” rings true with MF Construction. When we were in the market for a general contractor to build our two-bedroom/two-bath ADU in San Marino, we interviewed several general contractors. Mike Maman of MF Construction was one of them. Mike showed us several of his projects as well as his own custom home. We were extremely impressed with the end results. After reviewing several competitive bids, we selected Mike because of his 40+ years of experience in building high-quality homes. During the construction of our ADU, Mike was just a text or phone call away. He kept us informed of upcoming events and visited our job site almost daily, sometimes more than once a day. He was present at all 12 of the City inspections. Every step along the way, we noted the high quality of materials Mike uses from the Ganahl lumber to the thick insulation and roofing paper to the copper pipes and shower hot mop, and mold-resistant drywall. Mike uses materials which meets or exceeds code requirements. Everyone on Mike’s team is extremely skilled in his/her craft, many having worked with him for decades. Mike is old school and does not take any shortcuts. Along with high quality construction and materials, Mike is extremely efficient. Our ADU was completed in four months, as promised. Progress was made every day. From the rough work to the finishes, Mike scheduled his team members just in time which resulted in an extremely efficient and smooth workflow. Mike builds with his heart. His passion is infectious which inspires his team members to do their best work. The results are evident in the finished product. Our neighbors and friends are extremely impressed with the quality and build of our ADU. If you value a well-built home and appreciate attention to detail, you will not be disappointed with Mike Maman. You WILL get what you pay for with MF Construction."

"I highly recommend Josh Matus from SC Home Repair. We needed to have a ceiling replaced in a closet after it was damaged by water. The plumber who originally fixed the leak cut out the ceiling to fix the leak, but was not able to reinstall it. We hired Josh to replace the ceiling. He did an excellent job. He was punctual and polite, and kept me looped in on the entire project. He got my sign-off on all of his decisions and ran pricing by me when he needed to buy supplies. He knew exactly what he was doing. Josh finished the job quickly in two days and did excellent work while paying attention to detail. I would certainly hire him again!"

"Universal Home Design, Inc. did a fantastic job. The remodeled bathroom looks like an upper class hotel room. The owner, Oury, expertly coordinated many different groups of people to get the general work done, the electricity wired, and the permitting process completed and approved. He kept us informed at every phase of the project. Oury is very knowledgeable and very personable. I will recommend Universal Home Design, Inc. to family and friends."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.

Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.
