"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

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.

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.

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.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.
