"So Cal Builders & Design Inc made the entire building process stress-free. They were transparent with costs, delivered work on time, and ensured every design detail was perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the final results."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"The KN Remodeling team did an excellent job at our home completely remodeling 3 bathrooms, painting our entire home and rebuilding a huge planter outside. We trusted them in our home while we are out of town almost the entire time. We hired them back to do additional work in our home that they did quickly and expertly. The team was professional, very friendly, worked quickly, quietly, cleanly, and I would highly recommend them."

"Out of the long list of companies here on Home Advisor Greg was the only person who answered my call. All others hid from the heat and refused the job. Greg was the most professional out of the bunch and he had no problem helping me get the framing I needed done in my attic. He was willing to go up there in the blistering heat of the Palm Springs Summer when no one else would and he was more than happy to accomodate. His work was professional and beautifully done. He and his worker had masks on and were safe and clean. I can say that I am confident that any jobs that come up in the future I will look no further than Greg Patterson Construction."

"Wade and Malbec Builders served as the general contractor for our renovation of a classic 1960’s Palm Springs mid century modern home. Not an easy job since we live near Chicago. Our renovation included replacing the plumbing, replacing the floors, full update and renovation of the kitchen and two bathroooms. He was instrumental in introducing us to contractors who updated our pool and added solar power. At every turn he provided realistic solutions that fit our home and budget. When renovating a home, naturally there are some surprises. Wade handled these was a total pro, providing full and honest service to address each situation. His communication skills are terrific. In short, it was a pleasure to work with Wade and his team. We recommend you contact him."

"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!"

"Pete Wright is the only builder I would use again of all the builders I have hired in my life (there have been 6). He has done everything from outdoor excavation and drainage to small plumbing fixes. Bottom line, he is THERE when you call him. We began with a major renovation of the 1 acre back yard (completely changed contours and installed large pipes to take water to the outer drains). Then moved to completely changing the location of the walls in a LR/DR/Gallery area with switching out all doors and windows, re-stuccoing the house (with Pete finding a way to save costs by using some of the older stucco as a foundation - harder to do, but also cheaper! frankly, I wouldn't have know the difference if he ripped it all off), then changed the roof edge to beef it up, sand-blasted some old wood in two pergolas, redesigned and repainted, All of this was from 2015-2019. Then we totally switched up where the kitchen and family room were located in the house. that was completed in 2019. In 2020, we had adult children who wanted to live with us during COVID, so he quickly renovated an area of the house to give them privacy, including a bedroom/bathroom and powder reno. Now he is renovating another bedroom and bath. After this, we have two more bedrooms/baths and a hallway to complete (next year) and he will most certainly have those projects. In summary, I trust him to show up, do the best work, give me a fair price and be there when you need him. I don't know what else you could ask from a builder!"

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Building a treehouse can vary in difficulty depending on factors such as design complexity, size, and the builder’s woodworking experience. Basic treehouses with simple designs can be manageable for DIYers with some carpentry skills, while more elaborate structures may pose challenges. Adequate planning, research, and careful execution can make the process more manageable, and resources like premade plans or professional assistance are always available for additional support.

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.
