"I signed up on Angies list on 2/18/2017 and had the work done today. Tooltime got back to me on 2/21/2017 and we made arrangements to have the work done today. Mike from Tooltime was here at 9AM on the dot, he put the safety bars in and left the bathroom cleaner then it started. I will call on Tooltime again for more work in my home. If there were more stars to be awarded I would do that. Thank you Ivka"

"I can't say enough for what Arroyo Bros have done to transform my home. They have done (so far) remodeled a couple of rooms (kitchen and adjoining sunroom) that are absolutely beautiful. Not only that they discovered safety issues with missing support beams and engineered how to support my roof. It was a joy to have them work on my home."

"Josh did a great job on my roofing repair! He showed up when he said he would, and the roof looks great! He also installed some replacement skylights and siding. He sent many pics of the job as I wasn’t able to be there when the work was performed. I will definitely use him again."

"Working with Sigura Construction was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As a real estate company, we often need fast, reliable, and high-quality work to prepare homes for sale and Sigura Construction exceeded every expectation. Their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient. Every repair and improvement we requested was completed within hours, with excellent attention to detail and craftsmanship. The quality of the work was outstanding from the finishing touches to the overall presentation, everything looked perfect. What truly stood out was their amazing customer service. Communication was seamless, and they even went above and beyond by completing a few additional touch-ups at no extra cost. Thanks to their hard work, the home was ready on time, looked fantastic, and sold within just six days on the market!

"On a scale of 1-10, I would rate Brother and Brother Builders an eleven. Their professionalism, knowledge, craftsmanship, and courtesy were truly exceptional. During the initial meeting, the senior project manager Daniel Perez carefully guided us through the process and was available to answer any of our concerns. Then throughout the project, he checked in on a regular basis to ensure the process went smoothly and made sure everyone stayed within the projected timeline. The interior designer was amazing and extremely talented. I always appreciated how she listened to my thoughts when creating the final design. She was also readily available when needed. The foreman and crew were hardworking, respectful of our home, and accommodated our requests. The final product was beyond fabulous and we are extremely happy with our renovated kitchen and family room."

"We needed a new kitchen, since ours was seriously out dated. We have some ideas of what we wanted, but was hoping for some professional input. We hired Eli with Cal Green to do the job and had hoped we made the right decision. In the end we did. Eli was very knowledgeable, patient, and caring. He made the process go very smoothly and handled all the permits and dealings with the city, which was a relief for us. He took our ideas and included some of his and the kitchen came out great we are very pleased with everything. I would recommend Eli for any work you're considering for your home. For our next project we will definitely be using Eli and Cal green remodeling. Thank you so much Eli for a wonderful experience."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.
