"Rafael was great - he fixed our front door knob and lock, replaced another door handle, and our towel bar. He worked us into his busy schedule and came by on a day that was best for me. Rafael picked up parts he needed at Home Depot after assessing what we needed, and efficiently completed all three jobs."

"CT Home Improvement LLC is a fantastic company for all your home improvement needs. They’ve done an excellent job on my home—installing new flooring, a kitchen, ceilings, insulation, backsplash, and plumbing. Their work is high-quality, and the team is professional and reliable. Best of all, their pricing is fair and transparent. They completed the entire project on time and stayed on schedule. Their customer service was outstanding—always responsive, respectful, and willing to answer all my questions. I highly recommend them!"

"Aldo and his team are, hands down, the best in the business! Aldo is a detail oriented professional who handled our complete kitchen remodel beginning to end. Not only did he deliver on exactly what we wanted ( i am absolutely in love with my new kitchen!!!) he ensured that every step in our kitchen remodel was completed in a timely manner, despite unexpected set backs. If you have done renovations before you know how hard it is to stick to a schedule, but Aldo and his team made sure that they communicated any set-backs with us, AND they managed to finish my kitchen remodel in time! Bravo! I highly recommend you hire EA Development LLC for any and all home projects. You will not want anybody else doing work on your house, after you get the chance to meet Aldo and his awesome team! I already booked them for my bathroom remodel, and will book them for all my other projects!!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

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.

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

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.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
