"We recently hired Joe & 2T Construction to completely remodel our kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. They began by handling the full demolition of our old kitchen with care and efficiency, making sure to minimize disruption to the rest of our home. Throughout the remodel, their communication was excellent—they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to answer our questions. He help design the new kitchen layout and had really great plans detailing the new kitchen layout. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. Everything from the cabinetry and countertops to the flooring and lighting was installed with precision and care. The final result is not only beautiful but also highly functional. The team was punctual, respectful of our space, and cleaned up thoroughly each day. We appreciated their transparency with the budget and timeline, both of which were met as promised. We highly recommend 2T Construction to anyone considering a kitchen remodel. They exceeded our expectations in every way."

"Keegan (the owner of Park Ridge Construction)was great to work with. He provided us with a fair quote for building our new 18x18 deck. He was very professional and kept in contact with us on when the permit would be ready, when the materials would be delivered, and he would be over to work on the deck. He was able to finish our deck in two weekends. He did a great job and our deck is beautiful. We will be having him work on future projects for us."

"There aren’t enough words to express how happy we are with Cade and Modern Edge Construction! Cade helped us finish our basement and lay down new flooring on the main level. He was at our house within 24hrs to give us an estimate and started working on the house the very next day! Cade always communicated the plan, was extremely fair with pricing, and took a lot of pride in his work! We have a couple more projects and can’t wait to work with him again! Highly recommend! 😃"

"We had Cade fix an underground water pipe issue for a commercial property. His communication was prompt, and he was able to get us in his schedule within a week of reaching out for a quote. work was completed within the day despite some issues they ran into with their equipment. the cement patch he used has not set after a week of curing time, so we plan on re-patching the small hole that was necessary to the job (will be an easy fix, but im not sure what he used to fill) . This is the only reason this is a 4 star review rather than a 5. overall, we are very pleased with the work and prompt communication."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.

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.

Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.

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. 

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
