"Canâ t say enough good things about these guys. Our Willow Glen home dates back to 1947 and required a lot of prep. They spent over a week, laboriously preparing the siding, going over it in great detail. I have never seen people work so hard at such a painstaking and arduous task. Sarai, and Ivan were great to work with and were very accommodating of the scheduling problems involved with getting other necessary repairs done. Sarai, worked with my wife to get the color just right, and we went through about 10 color samples, and finally ended up with a custom mix. All in all, a fantastic house-painting job!"

"Mauricio did an excellent job of clearing my very dirty brick patio, front steps, paths and driveway. He was efficient and the result is amazing. The bricks on the patio were black with moss growing on them. Now they look like new."

"Nextprogen replaced our old deck with a beautiful new deck. They were always on time, worked steadily and cleaned up after each day. They did such lovely job on the deck, we had them replace our roof, build a retaining wall under the deck, and build a second deck downstairs. The crew was courteous, accommodating and they built beautiful and sturdy decks. They worked steadily and were very professional. We have used them for all three projects based on how well they replaced our first deck. I will definitely use them again, and recommend them to others."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations. 

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.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.
