"Kyle had to go to the attic for installing our exhaust fans. He found out that it was not vented to the outside. Our home is 35 yrs old. so he talked to us and told us this which we thought was the problem with humidity in the bathrooms. so he asked if he should vent the exhaust fans outside. We said absolutely. He did a great job and no more issues in either bathroom. then he had some cedar siding that is warped and asked him to replace a few boards. so he stained them and replaced. The siding looks so so much better. We ordered more siding and waiting for it come in so we can have Kyle come out and replace more warped boards. Plus he fixed out falling mailbox do to plow hitting it. He did a great job."

"In the home repair world, it's always difficult to find professional people that do quality work without charging an arm and a leg. Westward took on our complicated carpentry projects by listening to our needs and ideas, offering up various options to complete the tasks and then made it work.  We found Westward to be very professional and knowledgeable. They performed the work in a timely fashion and showed up when they said they would.  We highly recommend Westward Carpenter Contractors and will certainly use them again!"

"This went exceptionally well. Khaleel made every effort to get me piano movers in very short notice. Andy and Suhuib did an excellent job. The piano was very heavy and they maneuvered it up steps and delivered it very carefully. They were great guys. I was very happy with this entire process from speaking with Khaleel and working with Andy and Suhuib. I will definitely recommend them."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

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.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
