"Sale representative FELIPE ALMODOVAL is very professional, knowledgeable about his craft and provided estimates of material needed, time required for the project. Be very responsive whenever I need consultation. Great guy, appreciated. Now let's talk about Shiloh's installation crew, the best I have experienced. They are extremely professional, considerate, subject matter experts on what they do. I'm even more impressed by the camaraderie exemplified in the group, they work together as a great team, care for each other. Is that impressive or not?! The quality of the work is top notch and we're extremely satisfied. I told them I have more projects to be done in about 2 years and they knew whom I'll call... Designer Lifestyles LLC will be the company of my choice regarding any home improvement projects. Highly recommended!"
"Ron and team is very professional. They are always on time, keep me informed of what's going on, and listen to my concerns/suggestions. The job is still ongoing, but so far a great job. I would definitely keep them on my list of contacts for any future home repair projects."
"Dennis gave us a reasonable price to paint the exterior of our Yulee home. He used high quality paint to give us a beautiful fresh color that looks brand new even a year later. We were impressed by his attention to detail as the project progressed. I would highly recommend Dennis for any home improvement plans you may have."
"Excellent job was done. Many suggestions were made that enhanced the completed project greatly.

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.
In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.
Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home. Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems.
The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.
