"From the beginning of the process to the end, Sergey and his team were phenomenal!! We were asking them to remove several walls, as well as install new flooring, to give a more open, modern concept to our main floor. Not only was the quote much better than other competitors, the results and worksmanship were beyond our expectations! They were organized professional, and incredibly kind in their conduct and communication. Our home has been completely transformed into the house we were dreaming of when we moved in last September. We would not hesitate to recommend Sergey and Elite Construction to anyone needing help with their home!"

"Donavan did an outstanding job on our basement remodel. Took an open concrete room and turned it into our favorite place to spend time in our home. Everything he does you can see how much effort is put into perfection of even the smallest details. Rest assured, we will hire Affordable Remodels again for our next home upgrade whatever that may be!"

"For some reason the rating system will only let me give 4.5 stars instead of 5 which they definitely deserve! We were so pleased with the workmanship, how quickly the project was finished, and how friendly and professional the builders were."

Customers say: Quick response

"Mike came out to look at my property. I needed some retaining walls taken care of and instead of selling me something he gave me an honest opinion on what I should do even if it wasn't with his company. Honest guy would definitely recommend Mike for anyone who needs some work done at their place."

"This was my second time to use Vision Built. The first was a bathroom repair/rebuilt for a rental property I own, I was so satisfied with the work done there that I hired the company to lay a colored concrete pad in the backyard at my personal home. The pad is beautiful. I love the color and size. The concrete was done within several hours and the brush work is excellent. Martin's team does perfection. Thank you so much."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

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.

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.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property
