"Al and his team have been fantastic in both service and workmanship. We needed a shower replaced in our rental home. He not only provided a number of options, but recommended ways to save money as well. The work project itself, Al made sure if there were any concerns we had, he addressed it promptly. We plan to use C&H for a number of other smaller handyman projects we need done both immediately and any others in the future."

"The project went better than expected. Dave was punctual, and very helpful with both my refrigerator install and connecting waterlines. I felt comfortable with him in my home. Dave was refreshingly honest and referred me to a dependable source to work on a project that was outside his expertise. I appreciate his willingness to accommodate me on a weekend."

"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"I cant say enough about Nucave construction. Ryan and his whole team were very professional. I remodeled my kitchen and was looking for some custom pieces. Ryan knew what I envisioned for my kitchen and really brought it to life. I was also very pleased on how quick they were able to get the work done. I had some last minute adjustments to my design. Ryan was on top of it and was able to bring someone in to get it done asap. I will be hiring them again for more work."

"I own a second home in San Diego and recently hired Shiro Builders Group for a backyard renovation and bathroom remodel. After getting quotes from four different companies, I decided to move forward with Shiro because they were the most professional, responsive, and transparent from the beginning. The entire process was clean, organized, and well managed. The backyard transformation exceeded my expectations, and the bathroom remodel was completed with great attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. The crew was respectful, kept the site tidy, and maintained excellent communication throughout the project. What really stood out was Shir's involvement. As the owner, he was available when needed, answered questions promptly, and made sure everything was done correctly. The final result speaks for itself. The project was completed smoothly, on schedule, and with a level of quality that is hard to find. Highly recommended!"

"Sheen and his team are wonderful to work with. From his help and advice during the planning phases all the way through to the finish work, I knew I was in professional hands. Our project manager, Al, was great with solving problems, answering questions, and keeping me updated on progress. I was particularly thrilled with Juve, who was the site/team manager. He kept me abreast of what was happening every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure I loved everything. Sheen himself stayed in constant communication as well. He uses a website/project management software system so that every step of the project is carefully documented and you are constantly aware of every detail. I've seen other comments mentioning his prices. I did receive lower bids from other contractors, but I've been through construction in the past and lower bids do NOT mean a lower cost in the end. From other reviews I read and from my initial meetings with Sheen, I knew this was the team I could trust with my home. With Specialty Home Improvement there were never any surprises. I DID go above budget, but it was purely because I added more projects and purchased more expensive materials. Each time I did that, Sheen was quick to talk to me to make sure knew exactly what the financial impact would be. Also, and this is important, his team showed up every single day, even on Saturdays (after checking with me first). They worked through until the project was finished. And the quality of the work was top-notch. Just beautiful. Every detail was attended to. There were no scheduling problems, and I never had the crew disappearing to handle another client (I've had that happen FAR too often in the past with other companies). There were no surprises or creeping costs. The reliability, quality, and communication are worth their weight in gold. I can't stress this enough: lower bids do not always equal lower costs. With Specialty Home Improvement, you know exactly what you will be paying right up front. This is the dream team of quality construction. You get what you pay for (and in my experience, just that little bit more)."

"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

Due to the expansion of the tiny house movement, you can usually find tiny houses to buy in your state. Prices range considerably based on size, style, and type. If you’re looking for a tiny home that’s move-in ready, you may be able to find a good deal to buy or a prefab dealer near you. 

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

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.

The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job. 

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.
