"Mark and his crew did an excellent job remodeling my bathroom. It looks absolutely beautiful. His crew also put in lighting in my kitchen and removed some cabinetry. The kitchen now looks more spacious. They also replaced the flooring in one of my bathroom downstairs. I was so pleased with the upstairs bathroom, I had Mark and his crew remodel my downstairs bathroom. My son and daughter-in-law were so impressed with the results, they wanted Mark to work on their home but they live outside his service area."

"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."

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

"Things went very well.  There were a couple of misunderstandings but they worked with me to resolve them very quickly.  They helped with some budgeting which helped when trying to pick out cabinets and fixtures and surfaces.  There were some delays in getting shower tile, but they managed to finish the entire project in about 3 weeks.  The bathroom looks great.  The workers were all very polite and worked hard to keep the mess out of the rest of the house.  The cleaned up the worksite at the end of each work day.  I would recommend them highly.

"Shir’s team did a full gut-remodel of our kitchen and living room. Our entire floor looks remarkably transformed from an outdated design to a modern, cozy yet practical/functional space. In the kitchen - they installed extensive semi-custom cabinetry; new electrical, appliances and plumbing; and aesthetically fabricated countertops, backsplashes and waterfalls. In the living room - we got a fireplace makeover (with beautiful symmetrically placed tiles) as well as the entire flooring replaced with modern looking large-format porcelain tiles. The team was highly skilled, dedicated and hardworking. The team lead was an excellent problem solver with attention to detail. They executed our vision to perfection - delivering exceptional quality at a reasonable price. We are super happy with the results. The entire space is now ideal for entertaining and relaxation both. Our guests seem to want to mostly hang out on this particular remodeled floor, and that is the best testimonial !"

"BD Project & Design built an addition to my house. I was surprised how this project went so smoothly. Kevin was my project manager, and he was great. He was honest, communicative and respectful. The rest of the crew was also amazing, they cleaned house every day at the end of their work. If there was some issues he resolved everything and informed me before to find best solution. The project was finished ahead of schedule and outcome was excellent. Will highly recommend BD Project & Design, very trustworthy . Thank you Kevin and BD Project & Design."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most cases, you will need a building permit or planning permission to install a carport. The exact requirements depend on your local municipality's laws and regulations. Generally, any carport that is permanently affixed to the ground, whether standalone or attached, will require a permit. Some premade carports may not require one, but it's crucial to verify. If you hire a professional installer, they will likely handle the permitting process. If you are building it yourself, you must contact your local building department to determine what permits are needed before starting your project.

Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option. 

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property

Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use “safe room” when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit. 

Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat.
