"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."

"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."

"All in all it went okay. The guy refused to work with anyone else though and tried to do it all himself which caused more problems carrying the tubs upstairs and all. The work got done but it took longer than planned and I had a lot of fixing to do afterwards. I hired a licensed plumber to finish the work downstairs and a licensed electrician to finish the electrical work. Happily I was selling the house. I wouldn't use them on my own house.... the plumber anyway. Hire a professional!"

"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."

"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

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.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.
