"Haven Driscoll (Driscoll's Painting and remodeling LLC) was a terrific match for us. He is a quick communicator with a friendly and helpful outlook. He did a great job of diagnosing the repairs needed (master bath) in a detailed way, and gave us updates as he progressed so we knew exactly what he was doing. He did not inflate the work needed, and was spot on in helping us make choices that would yield quality results without just throwing money at the job. I really liked working with Haven, appreciated what he accomplished on our behalf, and am happy to pass along this five star rating."

"The crew did an amazing job on my home addition ! "The project was top notch. They always showed up on time, they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walk through multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Final project turned out great!" Everytime I asked for items to be touched up, someone was here the next day and was in and out. I know I can be a perfectionist, and they worked well with my OCD. They were recommended to us from our realtor, and the 1000 sq ft addition added more value to our home than we paid for the project ! We are very happy, and look forward to using them on our next home purchase."

"We hired Chad to replace the shower in one bathroom and remove the bathtub in another, replacing it with a beautiful walk-in shower. Since Chad is both a licensed plumber and contractor, the entire project was handled seamlessly from start to finish. I selected all of the materials, and Chad picked everything up for us, making the process easy and stress-free. His crew was outstanding?they worked with great attention to detail and their craftsmanship was excellent. During the project, I made several changes, including switching the faucet style and deciding to install a shower niche instead of corner shelves. Chad was incredibly patient and accommodating, making sure everything turned out exactly the way I wanted. Throughout the renovation, Chad and his crew treated our home with respect, kept the work area as clean as possible, and left everything in excellent condition when the job was complete. We are thrilled with both bathrooms and would highly recommend Chad to anyone looking fo"

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

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.

A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property
