"Jim Lockhart is the best of the best. From the time we were planning our project right through completion, he was the model of precision and professionalism. While Jim owns the business, he also worked on site each and every day. Our project together included a 2nd floor master suite addition, additional bathroom remodel, new roof, siding, windows, and HVAC! Jim was always on time and showed up when he said he was. Once our project started he was there every day consistently and worked incredibly hard each day. He worked with high quality sub-contractors when necessary (roof, electrical, and plumbing) and held them to highest standard and was on site while they worked. While construction was occuring, Jim was careful to keep our house as clean as possible and took extra care to ensure my children were comfortable and safe and their home. Jim even took the time say good morning to our dog each day in an effort to make our whole family comfortable! He cleaned each and every day. He was a master communicator and walked us through each step from start to finish. Jim worked on our home for almost 6 months and he took every detail seriously every day. I would highly recommend Jim for any scale job! You would be hard pressed to find a more skilled or professional contractor!"

"John did a fantastic job on finishing our basement and created a unfinished basement into a beautiful large room. His expertise and skill with interior design, flooring, lighting, and carpentry gave us a completed project that constantly receive raves from family and friends. He went above and beyond with the setting up my home entertainment system and was available to me for a few technical problems. In addition when I had an injury to my knee, John carried a freezer by himself to the basement for me . His price was fair and most of all he was available for any minor problems after the project was completed. If your looking for a contracter that does excellent work you will be pleased with Big Bad Wolf!!!!!!!"

"Gene and his team did a wonderful replacing one of my roofs, replacing my front gutter, repairing my front columns and fascia, sanding and painting the wood timbres I have had for many years that house my front garden and solar ornaments.. They also did a wonderful job painting my alley walkway, doing a partial replacement of my porch floor and wonderfully tarping the floor as well. Taking over and repairing my family home that I inherited from my mother has and continues to be a labor of love, and Gene and his team are one of the reasons why. They are easy to talk to and Gene is flexible and reasonable with estimates, budgeting, and warranty. I highly recommend him."

"Simpsons home improvements was very professional! My home had really old gutters that was clogging up after every rain storm and just needed to go, so I gave this company a call up. Mr.Simpson came out to give me a free estimate at a very reasonable price, and recommended for me to get the new gutter guards for my gutters that have been a major life saver considering I have a lot of trees close around my home that causes my gutters to get clogged up very easily, and the work was beautiful! I didnâ t realize how getting new gutters can really make a difference on your home. Thank you Simpsons Home Improvement, looking forward to working with you again!"

"Guy and his team were amazing and professional. Guy was able to recommend solutions to resolve ongoing water problems in the basement, completed the install and finished the basement. It has added significant square footage and value to our home. Additionally, he completely remodeled the kitchen and was able to suggest small but important finishing details the really brought the project together. The kitchen is transformed and is a gathering spot for the whole family. Guy has also helped us out with smaller odds and ends including installing new outlets and breakers, repairing drywall, and smaller paint jobs. I would recommend Guy and his team over and over again!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations. 

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.

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment.
