"Not only did they put together a complex heavy piece of furniture in just under two hours, they came promptly. When finished with the building, they moved the furniture, reconnected the tv to make sure it worked, took all the boxes and “junk” to the trash area, and picked up any construction remnants in the room. Thoughtful and polite."

"So this review only lets me check one item of repair and not only was painting done, but repairing drywall, laying vinyl planking, building an exterior deck, refurbishing tired and weedy landscaping, power washing the siding. One of the hardest working people that get the job done, show up when they say they will, clean up after themselves, very particular with their work. They certainly get a high recommendation from me."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

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.
