"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."

"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"

"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."

"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."

"We contracted Aventus to build a large 2-story addition onto our home to add about 1000 sq ft. Bottom-line, we love the final product and would hire them again. We worked with our own architect in advance of getting bids from contractors so we had a detailed, specific idea of what we wanted done, and could make an apples-to-apples comparison between different bids. Mario, the owner, was very responsive throughout the bidding process, and we revised the bid several times to try to ensure everything was covered and we were on the same page. It was a complicated build involving matching existing floor and ceiling heights, new HVAC and plumbing systems, a steel support beam, and connecting different rooflines. Aventus' final bid was competitive with the other bids, and Mario's communication The highlight of the entire experience, and why we will work with Aventus again, is the network of craftsmen that Mario brought onto the project. Each of the subcontractors did really high quality work. We stayed in our home during the entire renovation, and were impressed with how respectful and thoughtful the workers were throughout construction. We had no concerns with them being around our children, they routinely cleaned and organized the site during different construction phases, and clearly took pride in the quality of their work. In particular, the project manager, Saul Fuentes, was worth his weight in gold. He listened to what was important to us, and it was clear he did not cut any corners in any stage of the process. Our 60+ year old house foundation had settled, sloping more than an inch across some stretches. Saul and his crew were able to build a level surface, connecting the old to the new, and matching up to our floor and ceilings. Working with him felt very collaborative, where we were able to solve design problems together to get things the way we wanted them, while still being secure, to code, and built solid. The flooring and trim carpenter, Jorge, was meticulous in getting finish details perfect and matching up to our existing house. Bumps: The permitting process was agonizingly long. Some of that is undoubtedly bureaucracy from Marion County (compounded by our home being at the edge of a floodplain zone). Permits for our project were subcontracted out by Aventus to Rivera Group, who we were *not* impressed with, and both we and Aventus had to reach out to them multiple times to shepherd things along. There were also some additional costs incurred during building that we didn't become aware of until the end, but we were able to work with Mario in reaching an agreement we felt was fair. These issues are not unique to Aventus, and Mario was transparent about the things they learned during the process too. We would happily work with Aventus again!"

"I had the outside of my house re-sided (vinyl) and could not be more pleased. George and his crew are very good at their jobs, and completed the work on time. I also needed some trim around the windows replaced, and all of the window trim repainted, they were able to do everything I needed. I mentioned to George that I was thinking about getting a new roof, he told me the old one will last a few more years - I really appreciated the honest assessment. I will call R.Wright the next time I need any home renovation."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

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.
