"From the moment they first contacted me to the moment Gary left our house, dealing with Handyman Pros was a delight. The price was certainly reasonable and the work was done within a few days of posting the Angi request. Gary was certainly knowledgeable and worked fast. He rehung a closet door and I marvel every time I open it now how smoothly it operates. I have no doubt I will be using their services again."

"It was a difficult project. It’s one of those small houses in Nortbrook where they are predominantly have car ports instead of a garage or a garage that was converted to an extra room. It was a project with many challenges structurally as well as meeting the strict NB codes. It was more than we thought price wise but again things came up unexpectedly. Ricky is a very clever and experienced guy, fantastic. Throughout the short journey was Ivona. Ivona is very responsive and gets back to you immediately. They are so lucky to have her. Thank you again Ivona, Ricky and the guys. I am so glad I went with this company. I love my garage."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We recently had our two main bathrooms remodeled by A P Builder (Owner is Angelo). We are totally thrilled with the end results of these projects. Angelo was involved in every phase of the project, many times offering valuable suggestions that we had not thought about. The work was done while paying attention to every detail, no matter how large or small. If and when there was a “glitch”, it was dealt with promptly and completely to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Angelo and his company for future work at our home. Bravo to A.P. Builders and Angelo for a JOB WELL DONE!"

"It was great to work with Icon Builders to building our dream home. They went out of their way to accommodate the completion of our home build in time for school. Their response times are great and the staff is truly personable. It was great working with Jenna, Natalia, Joe, Scott, Shawna and Charlie. I will recommend Icon to anyone looking to build a custom home."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

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.

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.
