I highly recommend OT Bay Builders, if you feel your home is outdated or if you are looking to increase the value of your home for an upcoming sale!"
"EA Home Builders was easy to use for my Complete Home Remodeling. They had great Home Remodeling ideas and they helped with the design as well. It turned out very clean and the guys were great. I would recommend them to others.?"
"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."
"Bear Remodelling just finished our kitchen remodel and we couldn't be happier! Our 1980s kitchen was cramped and dark, but now it's open, bright and functional. The team guided us through picking cabinets, countertops, and backsplashes that worked together perfectly. What impressed me most was how clean they kept our home during the process - they put up plastic barriers and cleaned up daily. The project manager kept us updated with daily progress reports and was super responsive whenever we had questions. The new island they installed gives us the extra counter space we desperately needed. Worth every penny!"
"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!"
"I have hired Real Handy Handymen on several occasions for work both at my business and home. I find them an extremely knowledgeable, timely, clean, and hardworking team. Tasks they have completed for me: Interior and exterior painting (not just slapping paint on, doing the requisite prep work as well) Rebuilding of antique windows Replacement of exterior deck boards Recaulking of shower glass Installation of interior doors Complicated Installation of through the roof venting for laser cutting machine Repair and replacement of plumbing elements and water heater elements There simply hasn’t been a project that I have thrown at them that they have not been able to complete to perfection. They show up on time, work quietly and efficiently and do the highest quality work. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
"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."

"Mike was professional, thorough, and invested in his clients experience from start to finish. I was given a clear outline of the project before work started, we both signed off on it, and all changes were documented immediately and signed off on. He and his team understand and provide exceptional customer service and top notch work. I would definitely work with them again."
"We had a great experience working with Tech Line Construction. They did a complete remodel of our kitchen, bathroom, and flooring. The whole process was very smooth and we are extremely happy with the results. Cooking in our new kitchen is a joy and we can't wait to entertain guests in our beautiful space."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Yes, barndominiums are designed to withstand strong weather and severe storms if they are built properly by trained professionals. Most barndominiums are made up of a steel structure that can protect a building from winds of up to 150 miles per hour and resist a variety of weather conditions without a major risk of structural damage to the exterior, foundation, or frame.
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.
Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.
Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.
The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.
