"They reached out quickly to me and discussed the job and arranged a time to come and give a estimate. Rob showed up on time and was knowledgeable and helpful. I accepted the estimate and arranged a time for the work to be done. Once again Rob showed up on time prepared to do the work. He complained the job in the amount of time given. The work that was done was well done and very professional. He was very helpful and easy to work with. Also he was able to answer any questions that I had. I would recommend them to do work for others and will be hiring them again for any future work that needs to be done. Thanks Rob. Appreciate the work you did."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include building a new home or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.

  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

Whether it's better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities. Do you want to save money? If so, then you should build your own chicken coop because it will cost much less—about half—than buying a chicken coop. If you want a perfectly constructed coop with all the bells and whistles without sacrificing your time and energy, it's better (or at least easier) to buy one.

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.

There are several different steps in the pole barn building process. First, you’ll need construction plans, which you’ll use to obtain permits. Then, you can clear the land so it’s suitable for building and installing the foundation. Your contractor will frame the barn using large poles, then rough in the plumbing and electricity (if your barn has those elements) before finishing the interior, adding siding, and installing the roof. 

After that, they’ll finish up the electrical work and plumbing and add your windows and doors. You may have a few other finishing jobs to do like painting or waterproofing.
