"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."

"We hired this company for a home addition and couldn’t be happier with the results. They were professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the whole project. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really show in the final product. Our new space looks amazing and blends perfectly with the rest of our home. I would definitely recommend them"

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

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.
