"Excellent service! Highly recommend! David was prompt and very professional. We had damage to our gutters from strong wind gusts. David sent a handy man the same day we called, they repaired the damage quickly, and it was excellent work! Highly reliable!"

My experience with Kristen and his crew was definitely beyond my expectations the communication is spot on there's no doubt as to what's going on the work is top notch and we are hiring them for more renovation work. I recommend them to everyone I know!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Adam and his team to frame and install my new kitchen including framing out a new pantry in a very difficult space as well as install a slider and reconfigure some walls. I am so pleased with the result. His attention to detail and work ethic are a rare find. I would recommend anyone needing any carpentry, framing, windows and doors work to contact him, you will not be disappointed."

"Nixon responded quickly and was able to install a new back storm door for us. The only problem is that it looks nicer than the front door now! :) Excellent work! Hired him to do several projects at Mom's now!"

"Amazing job!!! We were a little hesitant to hire Marcelo because he didn’t have many reviews but after we met him, we gave him the job. Within just a few days, he removed, sanded and painted our kitchen cabinets as well as installed our new stainless steal double wall oven and dishwasher - he did it all within the deadline agreed upon and left the kitchen as cleaned as he had found it. We were not even home to monitor his work…Trustworthy, reliable, pays close attention to the little details and takes pride in his work. We were able to cook/bake and got ready to host my family for Christmas! I highly recommend Marcelo and his company. He will come back to our home to do the kitchen/bathroom floors - will post before and after photos when done. We’re new to CT and he will definitely be our guy for any future work around the house."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

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. 

The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They’ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need permits for things like roof replacement and window replacement, depending on your local government.

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

Most cottage builds take between six months and one year from planning to completion. The timeline includes design, permitting, site prep, construction, and finishing work. Factors such as weather, material delays, and permitting can affect the schedule. Hiring an experienced cottage building contractor and making prompt decisions can help speed up the process.
