"We hired Handymack for painting our outside but also for several other projects. They painted the exterior of our home, did carpentry work to update the look and give it curb appeal, Put in our kitchen floor, painted the kitchen and put up the tile back splash. Mack and staff can do anything you ask and it will turn out better than you imagined in your head. HandyMack delivers on their promises. The crew came every day on time and stayed for 8 or 9 hours. They are extremely hard working and reliable. They also are very competitive with their pricing and fair. I would highly recommend to anyone needing renovations, painting, construction on their homes. I am thrilled we found someone we can rely on. HandyMack and his crew are top notch. We will be using them again for further projects."

"We hired Harrison to put in a new fence in our backyard to enclose our property, he not only did a great job with the fence but he was very good at communicating with us when he would be by doing the work, leaving, or if something had came up. Would definitely rehire."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had a great experience working with Mr. Maxey and his team on our deck project. From start to finish, Mr. Maxey was professional, responsive, and patient with all of our questions throughout the process. His communication and customer service really stood out and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. The crew that built the deck was efficient, detailed, and clearly took pride in their work. They paid attention to the craftsmanship, kept the project moving, and delivered a finished product that exceeded our expectations. The quality of the deck looks amazing, and you can tell the team genuinely cares about the work they do. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Maxey and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional builder."

"Brandon Smith and Brad Williams really catered to our needs! My wife and I bought a foreclosed home that needed some work. I selected these gentlemen to handle some of the larger projects. The final product was awesome! New hardwood floors, granite counter tops, Stone back splash, ceramic tile floors in the kitchen and carpet in the bedrooms. Not to mention some repair work around the kitchen sink and drywall damage downstairs. Extremely easy to work with and good people all around. I would recommend them highly and will keep their number handy for future projects."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

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.

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.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best.
