"I recently hired Wayne Bedwell and Blue Ridge Builders to remodel my garage, and I couldn't be happier with the experience and final result. Wayne was professional, trustworthy, and extremely detail-oriented throughout the entire project. He took the time to double-check measurements, plans, and finishes to ensure everything was done correctly the first time. He also did an excellent job coordinating multiple trades and specialty contractors, keeping the project moving smoothly and on schedule. Communication was clear from start to finish, and any questions or changes were handled promptly and professionally. Most importantly, Wayne delivered a high-quality result at a fair and reasonable price. If you're looking for a contractor who is reliable, organized, honest, and committed to doing things the right way, I highly recommend Wayne Bedwell and Blue Ridge Builders."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

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.

It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.
