"Canâ t say enough good things about these guys. Our Willow Glen home dates back to 1947 and required a lot of prep. They spent over a week, laboriously preparing the siding, going over it in great detail. I have never seen people work so hard at such a painstaking and arduous task. Sarai, and Ivan were great to work with and were very accommodating of the scheduling problems involved with getting other necessary repairs done. Sarai, worked with my wife to get the color just right, and we went through about 10 color samples, and finally ended up with a custom mix. All in all, a fantastic house-painting job!"

"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."

"Having faced a leaky roof crisis during heavy rains last year, our decision to reach out to this builder turned out to be one of the best choices we made. I wholeheartedly recommend them for their exceptional service. Faced with the challenge of addressing a complex roofing issue involving both flat and slanted structures, they demonstrated unparalleled expertise. Throughout the process, their meticulous attention to detail stood out. From coordinating with skilled roofers to connecting us with a superb cabinet maker, every step was executed with precision. What truly set them apart was their commitment to effective communication, ensuring minimal disruption to our family's routine during the project. Their dedication to not just resolving the issues but doing so with a focus on quality and customer satisfaction was evident. Even during the insurance proceedings, they navigated the complexities effortlessly, making the entire experience stress-free. This builder is more than a construction service; they are a reliable partner who delivers results with an unwavering commitment to excellence."

"My experiences with GVR Construction have been nothing short of exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend them to friends and family, not only for their high-quality work but also for their cost-effectiveness. A few years ago, they undertook a remarkable remodel of my rental property, transforming it into a stunning space. The project involved a complete overhaul of the kitchen and three bathrooms, showcasing their expertise and meticulous attention to detail. GVR Construction?s professional work ethic and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of the project. They collaborated seamlessly with the designer and material suppliers, resulting in fantastic outcomes. Recently, I decided to remodel the bathrooms in my home, and I had no choice but to entrust the task to GVR Construction. Once again, they delivered spectacular results, demonstrating their consistent professional approach, hard work, craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.

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.
