"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."

"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."

"A million thank u's to Declan, Jackie, Vince, Alex and Holden. Job well done! My bathroom and loft look wonderful. I was very nervous about this project. Had a previous issue with someone else who ghosted me and left my vanity in the dining room. Nice huh? Luckily, Jackie called me though Angi's list, booked an appointment and the rest was magic! Attention to detail, quality and accountability describes this company. Thanks again everyone! I'll be seeing you in the spring!"

The job was completed in time and we even extended the contract to add additional services which were equally completed with competence. We are very happy to have met them all. Highly recommended."

"Alex fixed my door fast and efficiently. He is very knowledgeable and is very pleasant to work with. He arrived to the job site on time and ready to go. He said he had learned his trade from his father and is working on getting his contractors license. I will hire him again for any other projects I might need help with."

"Bob is awesome. We first had him completely re-do one of our bathrooms in 2013. He tiled the shower and floor, everything new. He did the job for a fair price and his workmanship was flawless. Since then we have had him do another bathroom in 2015 and most recently the kitchen in 2019. He also comes to do smaller jobs, both in our home and at my husband's office. He is punctual, ethical, economical, and creative. He is a good communicator from beginning to end. Later this year we plan to have him build a new deck with a retaining wall."

"We cannot say enough great things about JRA Construction! From the very beginning, they were professional, honest, and incredibly easy to work with. As a family-owned business, they truly care about the quality of their work, and it shows in every detail. Our kitchen remodel turned out absolutely amazing—better than we could have imagined! Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dedication to making sure everything was done right made the entire experience stress-free. They kept the work area clean, communicated with us throughout the project, and treated our home as if it were their own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy contractor who takes pride in their work and delivers exceptional results, we highly recommend JRA Construction. Thank you for giving us the kitchen of our dreams. We will definitely be using you again for future projects!"

"Dana was the foreman on a major remodeling project on our property. We added a guest cottage which involved excavating over 100 ft.³ of hillside, foundation, as well as construction. He also remodeled the main house extensively from a concrete pour to new roof, electrical flooring, fine carpentry and everything in between. Throughout the 2- year project, Dana was attentive to detail, honest, mindful of the budget and schedule, and collaborative on creating solutions. He is such a kind hearted person, and was a pleasure to have around the home. I canâ t say enough good things about String Theory Construction!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

Choose a barn door with an extra two to three inches on either side of the frame. The width of the barn door will depend on the type and placement of your track, but in most cases, an additional inch or two will do the trick.

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 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.
