""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 fantastic to work with. The quality of their work was outstanding and they treated our home as if it were their own. They were punctual, polite and made sure that the area was clean at the end of every day. From our initial estimate through the entire process, we were kept up to date on progress and timelines and consulted whenever there were options and decisions to be made. We would definitely recommend and work with Apex Design Build again."

"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."

"David was great. He listened to my priorities and completed them in a timely manner. I was/am more concerned with quality of work than quantity of work. I have hired this company to return for additional projects. I am a repeat customer of Handyman Connection. Highly recommend company and service provider David"

"They did an excellent job. They were expensive, but you get what you pay for. The building inspector of the city said this was the best built garage he had ever inspected. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again."

"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."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

The maximum size of a tiny home you can move depends on your state transportation guidelines, but the rule of thumb is a maximum of 400 square feet. However, as long as it falls within the local limits for traveling on public roadways, you should be good to hit the road.

The construction stage is almost always the longest part of building a house. Within this stage, framing often takes the most time, lasting anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the home's size, the crew, and the time of year. Other parts of the construction phase include pouring the foundation and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring. The planning and design phase can also be very time-consuming, sometimes taking months or even years, especially for a custom home. The final finishing process, which includes painting and installing trim, is typically shorter than the construction or planning stages.
