"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…"

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 have known Jake personally for over 5 years but only recently had the privilege of utilizing his contracting services. My wife and I purchased our first home last year and needed a complete interior paint job as well as replacement of all vents, door fixtures, smoke/carbon dioxide detectors, and weather stripping for our front door. Despite being on a time crunch, Jake completely exceeded our expectations with his quality of work. Jake s recommendations on color and style looked amazing! He was knowledgable with regards to all the modern touches. If you are looking for high-quality work on your home, we highly recommend Jake Hill Construction."

"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

The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.

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.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.
