"Excellent. Kevin figured out the problem with the sliding patio door quickly considering you couldn't visually see the Christmas Decoration that somehow got trapped under the sliding door. He also fixed a crooked sliding closet door and rubber weatherstripping on an interior garage door. He was fantastic and will use him again. No doubt!"

"We had a major structural issue in our new house that had been identified during a home inspection. Prior contractors who had installed plumbing and HVAC in the basement had compromised the key supports for the house and put pipes and vents in the way of them. Gorman Restoration was just what we needed. They came up with a practical solution for the structural problem and also fixed some inadequate plumbing in the process. The work is top quality--you can feel the floors are more solid. And the cost was at the low end of what our home inspector and structural engineer said a project like this would likely cost. They were also dependable and professional when they were in the house. This company shows up when they say they will; they are not the type of contractor that takes a check and disappears. We'll be hiring them for future remodel needs for sure."

"Amazing experience! Great communication and professionalism. Scheduling was so easy, and they showed up exactly on time (even a few minutes early!). They were able to accommodate a specific window last minute. They installed a picture frame light and built an outside patio storage in the same visit, and ALSO helped move a rug from under the bed. I have used many services in the past and am blown away by the professionalism and customer service with this set of folks. Will be reusing many times in the future !"

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

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.

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.
