"I had some custom built columns installed for my front porch area. AJ Mejia helped me find, order and installed them. From the beginning it was clear the level of professionalism and care this team displayed really sets them apart from other contractors I've worked with. They did their research and was willing to work around various obstacles. They were great communicators, checked in on us and showed up on time for every meeting. The day of our installation, their staff Julian did an amazing job and consulted us to make sure we approve of his work before he moved on. My partner and I are so pleased with the work and professionalism that is coming from every level of this team. I will definitely be hiring them on my next job. These are good people. 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."

"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!"

"We have worked with DS Builders for years. Mike is simply amazing. He has attention to detail, is responsive and very easy to work with. He trouble shoots any issues with ease and has many great ideas and suggestions if needed. He will make your unique vision possible. His work is impeccable and he finishes jobs in a timely manner. While working on your home he keeps everything clean and tidy, which is much appreciated! When ever we have a project we always call Mike. We have used him for multiple remodels (including bathroom, kitchen, pantry, laundry room and outdoor space). We would recommend DS Builders for any project you have. We will continue to call Mike when we need any home improvement/remodel/additions. He is the best contractor we have ever worked with. Stop scrolling and call DS Builders. You wonâ t regret it."

"Enrique Pelayos did a great job refurbishing our cat tower. We've had the tall tower for years and its like a family heirloom for all our cats. The job was more difficult because we wanted a high-traffic, tough to shred, carpet put on it. Enrique did a beautiful job and it looks like it is brand new. The cats love it and are going crazy scampering up and down the tower."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.
