Customers say: Quality work

"We used F and F Construction to help repair and replace boards, spindles, and steps at our Urbandale home on 158th street. Brent and Matt were fantastic in getting the job done quickly and did quality work. We talked for awhile after the job was finished. They are easy to talk with and know what they are doing. I highly recommend them to other home owners in the area. -Winston Morris."

"I couldn?t be happier with my decision to work with Central Iowa Contractors. Hoss and his crew demonstrated outstanding attention to detail throughout the entire project, and my new tile shower turned out absolutely beautiful. After many years, I decided to upgrade to a double sink, and I?m so glad I did it?s exactly what I wanted. This is the home I plan to stay in for many years to come, and I truly believe that you get what you pay for. The quality of workmanship and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I?ll definitely be calling them again when I?m ready to build my deck. Thank you, Hoss and crew, for bringing my vision to life!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.

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.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

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.
