"Joe and the Sunny Day team were fantastic from start to finish. We will be using them again. For anyone considering remodel work in NWI, do yourself a favor ... call them. Project and Quoting: - Scope of work: $50K-100K kitchen remodel. Full gut of kitchen/dining room, including removal of load bearing walls, adding new windows and external doors - My very first call to Joe was returned within 15 minutes, and he did not answer because he was working a saw and did not hear it ring. With Sunny Day, your main point of contact also knows how to do all of the work. Huge benefit. - We got four quotes from local contractors. Three of the four, including quote from Joe came back very close to one another - Joe has a great attitude and his professionalism is immediately apparent. Considerate, patient, genuine, understanding. This vibe permeates his whole team. Each one of them was a pleasure to work with. Quality of work: - Craftsmanship - Excellent. All the work looked great. Strong attention to detail. When I did bring up any concern (all of which were small), it was discussed and handled quickly and professionally. - Customer service - Excellent. They arrived every day when they said they would arrive. My wife and I work from home and have two young children and a dog. They worked around our schedule when necessary and did their best to make tough living conditions as easy as possible. They were always friendly and considerate. Joe was very responsive to calls and texts, and he did his best to prepare us for the coming week of activities so that we might know how loud and/or messy things might be. - Cleanliness - Excellent. During demo, they towed in a dumpster and towed it away at the end of each day. The worksite was VERY clean at the end of each day. They did not keep tools or equipment here. They vacuumed every night. They tarped and sealed off the rest of the house every day. - Timeliness - Excellent. Each one of our contractors, including Joe, quoted 5 weeks for the reno. Sunny Day finished in 3.5 weeks. That is a testament to his team planning and organization. - Added Bonus - Joe has developed relationships with some great vendors. We had no idea what we were doing and certainly no experience with local businesses. Joe gave us excellent guidance in the planning phase and gave us great contacts for cabinets, counter tops, plumbing and flooring. We will be giving each of the vendors we used our business going forward. I am always skeptical of over-the-top online reviews. This one is sincere and rooted in facts. Sunny Day is a top-notch remodeler. Our kitchen came together just like we envisioned it. We are already talking about our next project because we know we can call someone that we trust to make it happen."

"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."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.

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 lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.

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.
