"We have used this company on a couple of projects. We were again impressed with the quality of their workmanship and the outcome of our project. These guys are the real deal! Our home is 110 years old, and their level of experience shows in how they went about devising solutions to uncommon repair needs / construction challenges (with an older home) in the two projects we used them on. We found them to be quite knowledgeable in all aspects of construction, plumbing, and electrical work. What I found most impressive is that they put forth the efforts along the way to ensure that we were happy with the finished products. In other words, they did not treat our project as just another "gig.""

"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."

"I asked Shed Doctors for a quote to build an large outdoor structure. John responded quickly. In looking at the project closely, it was determined to not be a good fit. Rather than try to bid and take on the project anyway, John was upfront and honest. While this project didn't happen, I will definitely reach out to Shed Doctors in the future for any projects that I believe could align."

"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!"

"My wife and I decided to replace our dilapidated one-car garage with a modern two-car garage. We chose to work with Coach House Garages and could not be happier with our garage and our customer service experience! Having never been involved in a construction project before, the idea of building a new garage was intimidating. We found Coach House Garages here on Angie’s List and contacted them to get a little information. We soon met with Jeff Grummer and after that meeting, we knew we found our builder. We could not have asked for a better partner to work with than Jeff. He was extremely knowledgable, accessible, never pushy and was quite patient (as we had a lot of questions and no understanding of process or timelines). Jeff guided us through the inevitable ebbs and flows, from variances and permits to tear down and construction. When we hit a couple challenges, Jeff helped us navigate the issues and keep the job on track. We were...and are...impressed with the quality of our new garage and the professionalism of Jeff and the entire Coach House Garage team. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering building a new garage."

"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

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.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.
