"Tony was a great communicator. We were asking for a custom build fence. We had contacted some of the basic fence companies prior to getting Tony’s name and no one would even quote us. He basically helped design in and pulled the permit for us. The end product was great and we’d recommend."

"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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.

The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.

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

Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.
