"My wife and I hired Lasting Strength for a gut renovation of the main bathroom in our house. Our experience was nothing short of excellent. Adam and his team are talented and respectful. They were constantly communicating with us during the entire process to discuss ideas and confirm the plan / our vision for the space. They treated our home as though it was their own, taking care not to damage other areas during the work and also cleaning up after every day was completed. We also decided to install a new slider to our deck where one didn't exist before. Adam helped in confirming the size to be ordered and they did another great job. We unexpectedly found some rot on the house during the slider project. They were able to come up with a solution to repair it that didn't inconvenience us and it prevented a huge problem developing later. Lasting Strength is talented, knowledgeable and trustworthy and my wife and I would recommend them to anyone. Can't wait for our next project!"

"Juliano was very responsive and receptive of ideas I had for the project. The work done turned out the way I wanted and was able to do it within my price range. The only thing I would say needs improvement is the cleanup afterwards. There was more saw dust leftover than I anticipated. Regardless, I would recommend and would hire again for further projects."

"Sabato did an excellent job! I saw several contractors and was most impressed with him as he took photos of before the job, measured and asked many good questions. He managed to get the job done in just one day and was incredibly organised, gracious and respectful of our home by putting protective coverings on the floor and furniture. I highly recommend Strategic Operational Services!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best.
