"Dillon was a great guy and worked fast and efficient. My house is 50 plus years old and the duct work had never been cleaned. Post the work, the house even smelled better. I am in the middle of a complete remodel and living in the house. I had all 11 vent grilles removed -(saved Dillon a pile of time not having to remove and re-install) and I would have thought a discount would have been in order."

"When the guys first arrived they looked clean and professional. They were patient and kind answering all of the questions we had. It was obvious they knew what they were talking about. When the work commenced, they were on time and picked up at the end of the day. The patio turned out great and I could hardly tell they were ever there as the yard was not torn up or muddy. These guys are legit and I will be using them in the future."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.

You can save on costs if you build your gazebo, but it’s a challenging DIY. Gazebos are permanent and structurally sound builds, so if you’re not an experienced engineer, this DIY can be tough and even dangerous. However, DIY-ing a pop-up temporary gazebo or building over an already constructed deck will be easier projects. If you want a long-lasting, high-quality gazebo, the project is best left to the pros.
