"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."

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations. 

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.

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.

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.

While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell.
