"Brian was awesome when it came to tackling our list of things that needed fixing/installing around our house. He was very professional, taking his time beforehand to ask the right questions about our projects, and giving his informed opinions on the best way to execute it. On his appointed days, he came in & got the job done quickly and expertly. His work looks great & we'd definitely hire him again!"

"Agile Construction was very professional. They asked what needed to get done and then came in and executed it flawlessly. They were able to answer my questions and explained the work and their methodology. They came to repair my window sill. And it looks way better than before."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

"Oliver is a meticulous craftsman and a pleasure to work with. He takes an unusually high level of pride in his work. He not only repaired the damaged areas, but improved them to a condition superior to their original state. He tossed in a few extra touches like painting the molding around our windows and floors. Oliver is knowledgeable about many aspects of home construction and repair. As one additional plus, Oliver lives pets and walked and played with our dog and brought her treats. We highly recommend Bauhaus Construction and intend to work with them in the future.

"I was so happy with Brian and B&M Builders work and have
used him as my contractor ever since. The projects included replacing the box
framing and sill plates and some floor joists around
three sides of my house. This involved  jacking my house up off the foundation,  detaching 
and suspending the 16?X16? enclosed porch and replacing the rotten wood.  This was quite a job. Brian and his crew
worked tirelessly under difficult conditions and went above and beyond.   I
later had them replace my entire roof and on the back porch.  Brian replaced a failing flat roof and installed
a rubber roof and tied it all together. I also had them remove and replace the
siding, exterior trim, gutters and gutter guard and a new window on the 2nd
floor dormer. Brian also removed and rebuilt a large deck on one side of my
house as well. I strongly recommend Brian and his crew in any and all of these
repairs.  They are honest and fair and
easy to work with.  I trusted him and his
crew with full access to my house and family. 
You will not be disappointed.

"From first contact, until the final walk-through, Wes, Aimee and their team were the best.
Estimates were accurate, communication was excellent, and attention to detail was consistent from start to finish.
Every effort was made to make the process as painless as possible for us, and the jobsite was cleaned up every night. Our project took several months and these standards were maintained the entire time.
The final result is absolutely beautiful - better than I dreamed of.
AW Carpentry will be coming back to side our house later this year.
Highly recommended.

"We were very pleased with the services provided by David Harris and his employees.  David was friendly and prompt in giving his original estimate of the work.  We used his business for two separate projects would definitely hire him again.
Shawn and his crew performed miracles on our garage roof and Eric coordinated major projects on both the the exterior and interior of the house.  Eric kept us posted during every phase of the multi-day project and he also made a number of valuable suggestions about accents and trim, which we really appreciated.

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. 

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

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.
