"It gives me great pleasure to write this review for Unison Builds LLC. Chris and his team handled the complete interior and exterior renovation of our 7,500 square feet office building. Their work included adding seven new offices, a gorgeous marble kitchen and dining room, a wonderful reception area, an executive conference room with a 14-foot table, the CEO's new office, and nearly everything else. He is a reliable builder. His team takes great pride in what they do. And the work proceeded even faster than we expected."

It is so refreshing to hire someone who possesses such high standards of professionalism and curtesy. I highly recommend Larry's Legacy Landworks. They consistently do the work that was agreed upon within the agreed timeline."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I found Dwight and was very happy to have done so.. Hired him for multiple projects on a rental house, and also to fix up that house for eventual sale. He's extremely capable; has very good solutions (even ones I never even considered!); he's honest; he's hard working; he's very reasonable in price; and he desires always to do quality work. If only EVERY contractor or handyman could be like Dwight! Because of all of his well deserved 5 stars in Home Advisor, he does get a little busy at times (of course!). But, for me, he'd go the extra mile above and way beyond my expectations to get work squeezed into his schedule and even came over late several nights to get work done I had to have done within my time schedule. If I could, I'd give him 6 stars. All well earned!"

"Adam did a fantastic job from the beginning to end. He communicated along the way and helped make decisions, giving us various options. We appreciated Adamâ s integrity and excellent craftsmanship. He made our house a home and treated us like family rather than just another customer. We will use Adam for other projects and highly recommend him!"

"Colorado Paradise Builders were responsive when we asked for a proposal to finish our basement. They created a thorough proposal with a price, timeline and specific details on the project. They followed through on everything in a timely manner. Everything cost what it was supposed to cost; their tradesmen were courteous and clean, and they completed the project on time. I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend or use them again for another home project."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

The construction stage is almost always the longest part of building a house. Within this stage, framing often takes the most time, lasting anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the home's size, the crew, and the time of year. Other parts of the construction phase include pouring the foundation and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring. The planning and design phase can also be very time-consuming, sometimes taking months or even years, especially for a custom home. The final finishing process, which includes painting and installing trim, is typically shorter than the construction or planning stages.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.
