"Rob was great!! I needed our HOA gutters cleaned out before the snow buried the fall leaves a 3rd time. He showed up when he said he would and provided us a quote and we hired him immediately. He started work a couple of days later and over the course of two days he removed and bagged all the leaves that were clogging our gutters. We have oak trees surrounding the homes so the gutters were heavily plugged. Rob came out over the course of two days, after the sun thawed out the morning frost and dug out the gutters by hand and contained everything in bags which kept the ground clean. He added a couple of hangers to one of the gutters were it was loose. He cleaned out all the gutters with a hose and ensured the downspouts were clear. I was very pleased with the service and the price. I would not hesitate to hire Rob again or recommend him. It's nice to have someone do what they say they would."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, barndominiums are designed to withstand strong weather and severe storms if they are built properly by trained professionals. Most barndominiums are made up of a steel structure that can protect a building from winds of up to 150 miles per hour and resist a variety of weather conditions without a major risk of structural damage to the exterior, foundation, or frame.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

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.
