"DH Construction did a complete remodel of our very small kitchen. It entailed demolishing cabinets and a partial demolishment of a load bearing wall. We added a kitchen island, redid our floors, added barn doors, added quartz counters, additional counters and cabinets. Dave worked with our budget and gave us great ideas which we did not even know were possible. He and his crew were very professional, considerate of our time, and always arrived on time. Dave gave us great advice, and made our ideas become a reality. I finally have my dream kitchen! We would definitely recommend him! We will be hiring him next year to add an outside kitchen to our back yard."

"Dustin Evans, owner of All-in-One Construction, has been our "reno" home contractor for numerous years. From sheetrock to Hardy Board siding, to new garage doors, windows, doors, and front deck expansions, the team has touched every corner of our home, both inside and out -- except the kitchen, which will be the last hurrah! Dustin and his "guys" do a great job with each project "tasked" and stand by their work. The team is personable, honorable, and HONEST. They often offer suggestions and go above and beyond. Pricing is fair. In an urgent SOS matter, Dustin makes you an immediate priority -- which is an invaluable trait these days. My husband and l greatly appreciate Dustin's work ethic/professionalism and personal dedication to his own family and ours. HB"

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

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.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.
