"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"

"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."

"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."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

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.

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

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.
