"I met with Ariel Zmijewski to get a quote to side my house and garage and to install two new attic windows.  I'm a single woman and homeowner and I have encountered more than my share of contractors who tend to patronize me because I am a woman.  I called in several quotes for the siding job on my home and Ariel was the only one who treated me with genuine respect.  Of course, I wouldn't have hired him just based on that, but GF also offered a competitive price for the job as well as quality materials.   Ariel said it would take about six weeks to get the material and then they would schedule my job and after 5 weeks, Ariel called and said the material was in and would be delivered to my home in two days and they would begin the job the following Monday!  Ariel guesstimated the job would take about two weeks, but it actually wound up taking four weeks - the reason being they encountered a couple issues when siding my house.  I have an older home and it seems like anything I do in renovating my home causes issues - which is why I have learned it is very important to have competent contractors on the job and that is what I had with GF.  Though the job took longer than planned due to these issues, these issues were resolved with fluidity and the end result is amazing!  Neighbors and family have complimented me on the look of my home and also on the fellas doing the job - they were impressed at how detailed they were!  The crew doing my siding and windows were amazing - ask for Mike, Jeremy and Tom and you will NOT be disappointed.  These guys were not only professional in their behavior but real nice down to earth guys!  I had a lot of detail work on my front porch and they took great pains to ensure everything looked nice.  I baked cookies and had chips and water and pop for them one day and gave them money to buy lunch for themselves another day and really wished I could have done more - these guys work great together!   And, Ariel came out to check out the work and monitored the job until it was done.  He always returned my phone calls promptly and never acted like I was bothering him.  I am going to get the remaining windows replaced on my home in the near future and will happily be using Ariel and GF to do the job!

"The crew was very professional and completed the job on time. After they left we realized that the grooves of the new wood siding looked like they didn't get painted sufficiently. Otherwise we were happy with the work."

"Our original painter was unable to do job due to peronsal issues. Had already purchased paint. Went online and filled out application for paint estimates. Cooper Construction was quick to respond, fastes to give a quote and was able to start work within a couple days. His employees were polite and professional. Most of the time we were not at home while they were working, I would come home and even though not done with job they had picked up and stored things for the next day. We felt comfortable with them havin access to our home while we were not ther. They were easy to work with, our house looks great, and we would use them again."

I was very pleased with the way the kitchen project progressed. The painters came first and painted walls and cabinets, then Kirt and Sean started their work. They installed a new wood floor with such attention to detail it was as though they were creating a work of art.
We had several unusual requests such as removing an oven from a stone wall and then changing the remaining hole into a built in bookshelf and designing a building 5 open shelves with decorative corbels and repurposing an unused closet into a pantry.
We were thrilled with the results,and the thing we appreciated most is they both kept telling us that the job was not over until we were perfectly satisfied with every detail; and they were true to their word! 

.Their prices were very reasonable and they were a delight to work with. Both Kirt and Sean were friendly, helpful and intent on pleasing.They were very punctual and reliable and at they end of the day everything was left neat and orderly.
I truly can't think of one negative experience we had with them.
I thank Angie's List, because it was there that we got Kirt's name. I would definitely recommend him and use him any time the need for his services should arise.

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"His bid was very competitive and I knew from previous experience he would go above and beyond to make sure it was right. 

Mike is easy to work with, answers all your questions clearly and speaks his mind on the best way to do things.  That's something you can't get from a seller contracted crew! 

I recommend Mike unconditionally."

Barndominium 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

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations. 

Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

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.
