I do honest work I don't try to inflate cost two clients, I've been apart of a lot of large jobs and careers with other companies I previously worked with my father had the Behlen metal buildings dealership he is past I go from job to job when I get task completed I try to find another. I kind of like doing smaller jobs with the small crew it just seems easier I enjoy working with the owner or the project engineer to help solve problems make Corrections re-engineered I am not an engineer though, but sometimes it's just plain sense!

"Hired to build new back deck with pergola. Was supposed to start and finish in May in order to enjoy new deck for summer. Delays, problems, unresponsive. Late in acquiring work permit. Supplies left on lawn left dead grass spots. Crew members taken off job to go work on other jobs while they stored their tools in my garage. Had to let them back into my garage multiple times to get tools to go work on other jobs. Broke sprinkler line while digging after I had it marked beforehand. Sawdust from work clogged up my AC unit and had to have repaired. Workers injured themselves on job. As of October, not still not finished. The deck failed city inspection and its been 3 months since they've done any work. Waiting on them to accomplish repairs. Have tried to contact them and they haven't responded to me now in over a month. Would not recommend. Considering legal action at this point."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

The maximum size of a tiny home you can move depends on your state transportation guidelines, but the rule of thumb is a maximum of 400 square feet. However, as long as it falls within the local limits for traveling on public roadways, you should be good to hit the road.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

As mentioned above, cupolas are popular for barns to keep hay dry and ventilate smelly air. However, they go back to the 8th century, and you’ll find them across different styles of architecture. For example, you might see them in the Greek Revival style. You can add a cupola to almost any style of house.

The average size of a pool house is between 180 and 220 square feet. Small pool sheds may only be 25 to 50 square feet, while luxury pool houses you can use as a guest house can sit between 200 and 400 square feet. Consider what you’ll use the space for and how much of your yard it will take up when deciding on the right size for your project.
