"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."

"Will did an absolutely amazing job from start to finish! He was professional, friendly, and extremely respectful throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure the work was done right and efficiently. His pricing is on point, especially if you’re on a budget. It’s hard to find quality work at a fair price, and he definitely delivers both. You can tell he truly cares about the quality of his work and his customers. The finished result exceeded my expectations, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the project. I will definitely be using him again for future work and project needs. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"We found Bielefeld Construction on Home Advisor and was surprised when Ray responded because we hadnâ t previously had a lot of luck on Home Advisor. We hired them for a master bedroom remodel and are very happy with the final outcome. We made a few changes here and there and Ray was very accommodating. All employees and subcontractors were pleasant, considerate and meticulous in what they brought to the project. We would definitely recommend Bielefeld Construction and use them again if the need arises. 5 star organization!"

"Joe, Abel, and Crew did an awesome job building our 28’x8’ Timbertech deck, 25’ elevated on a hillside. Joe worked closely with the Mill Valley permitting office to get the engineering plans approved, and once we got the green light the deck shot right up! We’re extremely happy we chose them to build the deck and would happily recommend for anyone looking at similar projects."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.

Your chicken coop needs to be off the ground to protect your chickens and avoid problems brought on by flooding, mud, and moisture. If you can't locate a high area to build the coop, you should build an elevated coop to ensure it stays dry. 

In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.

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.
