"Kevin is not only professional, he is also honest in his work. He changed the mesh screens on all of my windows. He refused to charge me for one that he fixed in a few minutes. Honesty and professionalism is an essential trait to have in his line of work. This happy customer recommends him for all of your handy-man needs and will definitely be using his services again!"

"We hired Gilberto to help inspect and repair some window trim wood rot. The damage ended up being much more extensive than we expected. Gilberto worked with us to replace all the wood trim carefully and was able to save our window glass. The woodwork repair was excellent, very seamless finish and we could tell that he really knows his stuff. He is very skilled, professional and friendly and as someone else mentioned excellent can do attitude indeed! His pricing was also very fair and he also had excellent communication. He would make sure to check with us before proceeding on any changes and also sent videos of the work and his progress along the way. The final product is much better than we expected and he left the job area clean and organized. He also removed an old carpet for us as well as old shelving very quickly and hauled and cleaned at a very reasonable cost. We will be defintley be having him do some additional handyman work/ home repairs in the future."

"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!"

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

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.
