""Your Handymen, LLC", Jeff, Robert, and David, did Outstanding work once again for us. Their efforts brought three of our home's rooms back into style, and they are now more functional and look fantastic. I have never seen and enjoyed such great attention to detail and resulting A+ quality! Eg, Robert fashioned a new redwood door threshold with great precision to avoid trip hazards - it looked fantastic after stained. And, the Living Room ceiling repair exceeded my expectations. They were very experienced with all aspects of the work, this time, painting, flooring, plastering, plumbing, carpentry, wall paper removal, & sourcing. For my family, their respect for the homeowner's complete satisfaction, and trustworthy, professional and friendly nature is so appreciated. Thank you!"

"David and his crew were very professional. David's bid was much lower than another bid we had, and my kitchen is beautiful! I would recommend David and his crew for any kitchen remodeling project!"

"Andy just recently finished a kitchen remodel in our home and it is beyond even my wildest dreams! He did it quickly given some of the delays for Covid and even though our house had some issues, Andy helped find fixes and the results are amazing. He was on time and kept us updated every step of the way. He really got me and my ideas for what I wanted and made sure it was done just as we designed it. He was very conscientious about everything and said many times that he wanted us happy with the results. We are more than thrilled! He was very respectful of us and our home. I wish I could post pictures. Brian made my old hollow core pantry doors look like barn doors and they are just perfect!! Everyone who has seen my kitchen says it s gorgeous. I can t even begin to say enough about Andy and Brian. Thanks guys! I ll let you know when we re ready for the master bathroom."

"John is a first rate builder. The new shed is a sturdy, well built structure that with good maintenance should last 50 years or more. It is a beautiful addition to our back yard and has increased our property's overall appeal. John considers all the nuances--such as hooks for the doors when they are open, hinges which go the length of the door. We had our shed painted before it was constructed and the end pieces are sealed to minimize damage due to warping. You won't go wrong with John. I cannot recommend him highly enough if quality is your driver."

"Nathan came to my in-laws home to see the damage and give an estimate to fix the ceiling damage. He made a quick assessment and we set 2 appointment times to fix the drywall and paint the ceiling within a week and a half of the estimate. At the end of the second day, the ceiling looked like there had never been any damage. Nathan did a fantastic job. My in- laws couldn’t be happier. In fact they have already had Nathan back to do more work!"

"First and foremost, Coach House builds an excellent garage. They use their employees, and it was put up in one day. The issue is with their sub contractors -specifically the concrete and electrical. The rainy spring delayed the pouring of the concrete, which they could not help. Once they completed the pour, it appeared as though there were rough spots on the floor. I sent pictures to my sales person and his sales manager and was told it was concrete dust. The ridges were clearly visible in the picture. Then I was told it was discoloration and would “cure” over time. No one came out to visually inspect the issue until much later in the build project. Weeks later, the crew came out to do the build and they did a great job. Punctual, thorough, and as mentioned, built a very nice garage. Then we waited for the electrical. They had to make three trips because, 1st they did not have the correct PVC pipe after digging the trench. A week and half later, after having a deep trench left open, they returned. The journeyman electrician left the fuse box ajar, a 1/4” gap where they cut the drywall, the exterior lights on either side of the garage were hung at different heights (I had clearly marked them with masking tape as instructed by the salesperson) and screwed the base of the lights directly into the garage wall vs. using the brackets that were provided. At this point, our frustration level was pretty high. The electrical issues were fixed, and my sales person finally came out to look at the concrete. Realizing there truly was an issue with the concrete, their first solution was for us to have an epoxy floor put down. Second solution was to go halves on an epoxy floor. Neither option was acceptable as we should not have to pay for their mistake. They finally offered to take care of the floor at their cost, but at this point, we had already waited for 4 months for the garage to be complete, and frankly did not want any more of their subcontractors to do any work. After much back and forth, we finalized the invoice. Again, the garage itself is great, but there were too many issues involved with the rest of it."

"Barry did a variety of things at our home. Gutter, siding, window and door repair. Drywall repair and painting. He even repaired our bathroom exhaust fan which we thought we would need to replace. Everything looks great! We will definitely call him in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him."

"This team of contractors is extremely loyal to their customers. We have used them for several jobs around our home. This time they again came in clutch helping make our home structurally sound after what looked like a cosmetic issue turned into much more. They were in constant communication with us and seeing us in the loop with daily updates on the progress and situation. They do a great job of completing the job right but also trying to make it as inexpensive as they can. You can't find another company that will treat you like family as they do."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.

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.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

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. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
