"I had him come in for a quote before Christmas but we weren't ready until March. He said to pick out colors at Sherwin Williams where he gets a deal. They had a great color selection. He did the family room, living room and hall all in 3 days. They even moved the furniture and cleaned behind it.

"Josh is Amazing! I can't say enough good things about him and his team. If there was a A+ rating, he would get it. He was extremely responsive and considerate of all of our requests, of which there were many. He was so helpful to us as relatively new homeowners to help us decide what work needed to be done, and the best way to do it. He was also very proactive (but not pushy) with suggesting improvements in an efficient order ("Have you considered lighting in this room? It would be best to install lighting before painting", for example). His team was fast and did quality work, and were flexible with our plans as they developed. We are very pleased with how everything turned out. Josh did the best construction cleanup I've ever seen, and even left us a bottle of local wine and nice wine glasses when he was done! We are so lucky we found him. Definitely looking forward to working with Josh and Willow Contracting on more house projects."

"Westward replaced wood flooring in my kitchen that had been damaged by everyday life. While the initial part of the job hit a speed bump Jeremy and Lukis did an amazing job in both customer service and follow through to get the job completed. I would call them again without thinking again. I highly recommend them to anyone!"

Pole Barn Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

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.

A 5x8 trailer can fit a queen-sized bed plus additional items. It is one of the most common sizes for enclosed cargo trailers, open utility trailers, and dump trailers. U-Haul, a national trailer rental company serving most U.S. markets, claims its 5x8 enclosed trailer can tow up to 1,800 pounds.

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.
