"When my clients ask for a recommended rehab construction company, I always refer OT Bay Builders. I have had 2 of my personal properties remodeled by Tom and his excellent, skilled team. My clients and I are always elated with their service and their ability to deliver outstanding results promptly. I highly recommend OT Bay Builders, if you feel your home is outdated or if you are looking to increase the value of your home for an upcoming sale!"
"We hired EA Home Builders to renovate our guest bathroom - and they did a great job for us. The two gentlemen they hired for our job were skilled professionals. They said it would take about a week and it did these guys showed up on time every morning and worked all day (with a half hour break for lunch). And at the end of each day, they meticulously cleaned up the inevitable mess of the day. Without a doubt I would use EA Home Builders again for our next project."
"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!"
"Kevin did a great job fixing our door handle quickly and took extra care to make sure it was generally oiled and well maintained. Arrived on time and excellent communication in advance of the work."
"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
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.
If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.
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.
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.
Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
