"We hired Jim Lockhart to design and construct our old run down screened porch and make it into a 3 season porch. Jim used excellent communication skills and computer technology to design,explain, and show pictures of the finished product. His 40 plus years of experience were evident when he went over the progress of the project. Cost factor of the project was reasonable and fair. He also, put in two new storm doors and did and excellent job selecting and installing the doors. Jim and his crew go out of their way to make you satisfied. They take great pride in their work and do and excellent clean up job. I highly recommend Jim. His quality of work is as if he is working on his own home and would treat your home as if it was his. Jim and his crew exceeded our expectations. Jim and his crew showed honest communication and trust."

"This was the BEST experience we could have ever asked for! Wayne from the initial interaction was very personable, professional, transparent, friendly, communicative, knowledgeable, trustworthy and most of all, a good and honest person. We were very hesitant in hiring any contractor to complete our basement remodel but Wayne and Team put all of those fears to bed and delivered an absolutely well constructed, beautiful and comfortable space for our family to enjoy. The project was overall seamless and had a few challenges but nothing that Wayne could not recommend solutions to for a resolve. We were very fortunate to work with Wayne and would do so for all future projects that we may have - in a heart beat. We highly recommend BlueRidge Builders for your next project - definitely worth the time and investment to end highly satisfied with quality well constructed work in the end. Thanks Wayne, we really appreciate you and our beautiful new space!"

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

When you compare traditional houses to prefab homes, the latter can be more sustainable for many reasons. For example, manufacturers have a more streamlined construction process for modular homes, which means there’s less waste. Additionally, some prefabricated housing manufacturers strive for energy-efficient buildings, and others produce off-the-grid capable homes that produce their own energy. 

Some companies even offer net-zero buildings, which are arguably the most sustainable. So if sustainability is important to you, prefab homes can be a great fit.

Yes, particularly handy DIYers can build their own storm shelter, especially when using a prefabricated kit and an existing space. However, it is a large project that can take several weeks, requiring significant manual labor and heavy equipment. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often recommended. You should always leave certain jobs to a pro, such as installing an underground shelter, projects requiring site excavation, or any custom-designed structures. These types of builds are complex, labor-intensive, and can cost more in the long run if not executed properly.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Prefab kits like a small sunroom for around $20,000 or even a basic gazebo roof for as little as $60 can save you big over professional installation. However, you lose the option for customization, and these structures tend not to last nearly as long. As for bigger projects like a deck or patio, you shouldn’t go with the DIY route unless you’re fully prepped with the tools and know-how to get it done right. Mistakes can be frustrating and costly, so choose a pro if you’re looking to eliminate your risk of error.

A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.
