"So Cal Builders & Design Inc made the entire building process stress-free. They were transparent with costs, delivered work on time, and ensured every design detail was perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the final results."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"I’m so glad I found Axis Team. Mack provided outstanding service. He completed chandelier installations, installed dimmer switches throughout the home, replaced broken the doorbell, fixed a leak, replaced a sliding door handle & lock and replaced broken locks on windows. On time, very responsive to texts, professional, pleasant, cleans up after himself, works very fast and has experience in all things you’d want in a handyman. Highly recommend!"

"We had a kitchen fire. The insurance company tore the kitchen down to the studs, no ceiling, no floor. Kyle and his crew came in and gave us our perfect kitchen. He had done our bathroom for us when we purchased our home in 2017 also. His quality is top-notch and his prices are similar to other quotes we received. His crew are all so professional. We will continue to call him as we continue to improve our home."

"Tom installed two steel doors in our home. One door was an exterior door leading into the garage and the other was a "fire door" leading from the garage into the house. Tom did a beautiful installation with high quality products at a very reasonable cost. This guy knows what he is doing, does not overcharge, and works hard. I will not hesitate to ask Tom to help us with other home improvement projects. Tom is truly an artist when it comes to all aspects of home construction/repairs. Thank you Tom! Robert E. Temecula, Ca."

"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"Back neighbor fence was horrible and unfortunately they were renters. We added on these vinyl fencing to our home and she did an amazing job. Very detailed and told us we should do concrete for the post so it’ll hold better. Highly recommended. Thanks Cheree for everything."

"Who says a home renovation project can't be easy? Laguna Bay Developing made our new backyard patio a pleasure to install. They came and gave us a quote which was competitive with other quotes we got. They listed for us everything they would be doing and they did it all. Their people were friendly and professional. During an unbearable heat wave, Juan and his team arrived on time and did a beautiful job. I don't think we've ever worked with a company we're more pleased with."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.

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.

Your foundation contractor will first need to remove the topsoil and any vegetation within 4 feet of the area around the barn. They’ll need to ensure they have clear access to the site to begin excavation, after which they can begin construction.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.
