"I had a window that was leaking and did not know who to go to for fixing this issue. I found Level Up Contracting through Angi's list. They came and surveyed the problem area. The problem lied behind the drywall and Al told me what work was needed to investigate the issue and repair it. He walked me through the process and quoted me a fair cost for the job. Throughout the repair work he provided updates and what materials he needed to completed the work. Al provided excellent customer service and was very pleasant to talk to. I am very satisfied with his work and craftmanship."

"If I could give I'll Handle It ten stars, I would! I hired Dave, the owner, to tear down my old fence and build me a new one. The proposal price was right in line with what I was expecting and I chose I'll Handle It over the others that I interviewed because of how Dave really listened to what I wanted and although offered suggestions didn't try to push me otherwise. Dave's expertise really became apparent when a snag appeared in the installation because of how the old fence had been installed over a concrete block retaining wall. A masonry person needed to be called in to fix the problem and Dave was able to get him to come over to look at it that same day and the extra cost was right in line with what I was expecting. The masonry repair was completed the next day and Dave finished up constructing my new fence the day after that. This masonry problem really created a problem for Dave because he is very busy and had to move some other work around that he had scheduled for other people. But through it all, he was friendly and solution oriented, and very concerned that my fence was built the way I wanted it. The new fence is fantastic!! I highly recommend Dave and I'll Handle It. Give him a call at 858-449-4598 or send a message on his website at illhandleitsd.com/reques…"

"We hired DREAMCRAFT to build a retaining wall as part of a new build in Fallbrook, CA. Abraham and his team did an outstanding job. Their communication skills, dedication, and effort were nothing short of outstanding. Abraham did a great job with pricing and stayed well within the quoted price, which was extremely reasonable. We would definitely hire DREAMCRAFT for future projects and would highly recommend that if you have a project, call Abraham at DREAMCRAFT and get a quote. You will not regret it. Jay"

"I was impressed with Jessee. I had purchased a large shed that was delivered 5 months ago. I had removed it from the box and separated the pieces. I tried to assemble myself but with no success. Now it's summer and I just wanted the job done. I had likely tossed the assembly directions in the trashcan by mistake. Jesse used a YouTube video I found with the directions. Inly took him 2 hours for the perfect completion. I highly recommend Jesse. His prices are fair and service excellent"

"Nucave Construction remodeled my house and it looks great. They did roofing, flooring, interior and exterior paint, windows, wood repair/replacememt, lighting, cabinets and lots of handyman type of things for me. The crew always showed up on time and worked hard all day. Everyone speaks fluent English and are very cordial and professional. Ryan, the owner is very knowledgeable and has quite the eye for design. A custom closet with drawers was built in a room that had none and you would never know it wasn't originally built with the house. Based on Nucave's professionalism, attention to detail and fair pricing I would highly recommend them for your home project."

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"Sheen has done work for us in the past so when we had a flood in the house and needed a complete remodel we did not hesitate to contact Sheen again. Sheen and his crew, especially Francisco, did an outstanding job with this project. Once we finally received funds from insurance the work was completed very quickly. Thanks, Sheen and crew!"

"Truly the best team I could ask for! We completed our kitchen remodel and two bathroom remodels with Shir and the Shiro Builders Group team, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. They assigned me a dedicated project manager who was always available, no matter the day or time. Everything was organized, on schedule, and professionally managed from start to finish. Even the small issues that came up along the way were handled quickly and efficiently. The quality of work exceeded my expectations, and the entire process was far less stressful than I anticipated. We're already planning our backyard project with them and look forward to working together again. Highly recommended!"

"Fantastic. Would absolutely hire again. I received a call shortly after submitting the project via Angi; they were professional and personable. They had a spot to come see the project and provide a quote that afternoon and did so. The work required was not massive and did not require the acquisition of speciality parts/equipment, so they repaired the roof as soon as I gave the OK after receiving the estimate. They are really great to work with, and I will absolutely keep them in my contacts for future projects."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.

A 5x8 trailer can fit a queen-sized bed plus additional items. It is one of the most common sizes for enclosed cargo trailers, open utility trailers, and dump trailers. U-Haul, a national trailer rental company serving most U.S. markets, claims its 5x8 enclosed trailer can tow up to 1,800 pounds.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.
