"I ordered all our fittings from All Bathroom Gear for our en suite renovation. From the moment I started talking with Build UR Dream Builders , everything fell into place! She was more than helpful - she was patient, thorough, knowledgable and great at keeping in touch. We were delighted with our fittings, and when there was a problem with the shower rail, Build UR Dream Builders got onto the supplier immediately and it was sorted without an issue."

"We hired EA Home Builders to renovate our guest bathroom - and they did a great job for us. The two gentlemen they hired for our job were skilled professionals. They said it would take about a week and it did these guys showed up on time every morning and worked all day (with a half hour break for lunch). And at the end of each day, they meticulously cleaned up the inevitable mess of the day. Without a doubt I would use EA Home Builders again for our next project."

"I highly recommend Josh Matus from SC Home Repair. We needed to have a ceiling replaced in a closet after it was damaged by water. The plumber who originally fixed the leak cut out the ceiling to fix the leak, but was not able to reinstall it. We hired Josh to replace the ceiling. He did an excellent job. He was punctual and polite, and kept me looped in on the entire project. He got my sign-off on all of his decisions and ran pricing by me when he needed to buy supplies. He knew exactly what he was doing. Josh finished the job quickly in two days and did excellent work while paying attention to detail. I would certainly hire him again!"

"Gilbert is top tier. It isn't always easy having a stranger up in your home but I would trust him across the board; not only with the quality and pricing of his work, but he's also just a really good human. His work speaks for itself but I'm looking forward to the next project we can bring him back for. He is also incredibly clean!! He's a joy to have at my home and he appreciates a good Brown Sugar Ice Shaken Espresso too."

Customers say: True professional

"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."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.
