"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."

"Really pleased with my new deck. The work was completed quickly and looks amazing. I wish they'd removed the leftover building materials but that's a minor thing. Definitely recommend"

"Big bang on to the services of Barbot construction. I had communicated them via email. They were very fast and within a span of hour they quickly sent their team members to my house for the inspection of my bathroom. Installation of the bath tub and tiles went 100% perfect. I canâ t thank them enough."

"I had Chad come out to price a remodel project and from start to finish he did what he said he was going to do. No hidden costs, no surprises. He has integrity and is a true craftsman. If you're looking for a Contractor that you can trust to do what he says and says what's he'll do than this is your guy. It's hard to find someone you can trust especially with your home but I can tell you first hand Chad is someone you can trust! Good luck but I'd hire him for anything he says he can do."

"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

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.

Due to the expansion of the tiny house movement, you can usually find tiny houses to buy in your state. Prices range considerably based on size, style, and type. If you’re looking for a tiny home that’s move-in ready, you may be able to find a good deal to buy or a prefab dealer near you. 

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

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.
