"The old windows in our condo in Hawaii were rusted and broken and while we were there we contacted Mid-Pac about replacing them with vinyl windows. Once the windows were ordered we worked together on a time plan for installation as there are renters there for part of the year. They kept in great contact with us so the install could go smooth. We were also provided with photos of the project as we are on the mainland. Our maintenance person on the island also checked on the work and verified that it looked awesome! We are very happy with the results and will be there soon to see the new windows. We wish we would have known about Mid-Pac when we had the kitchen remodeled, we did that through Lowes and it was a disaster. When we need any construction done in the future we will definitely use the Mid-Pac services, you can count on that."

"We hired DSK Contractor to put in below grade beams and install 3 glue-lam beams where the old ones were insufficient or the house was sagging. The crew did an excellent job with a difficult project, coping with weather and tight spaces. The experience and knowledge of the contractor showed in his explanation of what his crew would do and in the efforts at problem-solving, which are inevitable when dealing with old houses. Overall we are very pleased with the project."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

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.

Technically, most states allow tiny homes, but it depends on the definition of tiny and whether the structure is permanent. Zoning laws regarding home size and construction are significant factors. For instance, a tiny home may be legal as a recreational vehicle in most areas, but you may only install it on a property if it complies with building and zoning codes.
