"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."

"The process of finding a company to do your remodel is much like picking a surgeon. You may have no clue how its done or maybe you did some research and have an idea but certainly not the ability or skills to do it yourself. You must find someone to do it and then live with the results. At the start of my first web search I asked myself “How do I pick a company I trust?” Honestly, with so much out there, I feel like I got lucky and found the needle in the haystack. I can say with much relief that Stel Builders reshaped our home into one we are very happy to live with. Stel Builders is a team that cared about our family and at every turn wanted us to be happy with the results. Seth, the architect and owner, listened to the problems and needs we had to overcome then designed a plan for our home and patiently explained it to us. We were included in the design process and felt we had some control over the outcome. Brian, the senior project manager, made sure it all got done right. He let us know what was happening every week so we could manage our lives around it. When things happened that you can’t plan for like rain in San Diego during the framing of our addition, Brian was there for us. Every tradesman that came to our house was hardworking and knowledgeable. When all was done and we shook hands I was only sad about missing them. My husband, of course, was not that sappy. He was very happy to have a quite house, well, as quite as it can be with 3 girls."

"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."

"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!"

"I remodeled my outdated 80's master bathroom into my dream bathroom and Jake was an important part for me to acheive that. He built out a privacy wall to make for a great bathroom display, removed a non-support beam so our ceiling was even, installed our vanity and most important framed our new shower with a pony wall and a niche where our old cultured marble tub was. He was patient and explained any step that I was not familiar. I highly recommend Jake for any home remodeling project!!!"

"David was easy and awesome to work with. He was very helpful, getting answers to all my questions and getting the job done professionally and expediently. He exceeded my expectations and I would hire him again or refer him to any friend who is in need of construction type work in the San Diego area. He did a lot more than replace a deck and rails. The neighbors palm tree fell on my house during a storm in Jan 2023 and caused significant damage also to the fence, house, roof and fascia. David fixed all of this! Great job David, keep up the great work!! Thanks. Rick D, San Diego, CA."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

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. 

The maximum size of a tiny home you can move depends on your state transportation guidelines, but the rule of thumb is a maximum of 400 square feet. However, as long as it falls within the local limits for traveling on public roadways, you should be good to hit the road.

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.
