"In addition to replacing a 20 year old builder-grade deck, Paul built an addition to the deck and a 4-board fence with mesh backing around the perimeter of our property. The materials he used were high quality. His craftsmanship and attention to detail went beyond my expectations. He was punctual and met the timeline we both agreed to. His communication was always professional and he kept me up to date as the project went along. I highly recommend Paul and would not hesitate to use his services again in the future."
"The crew at Hertle Solutions did an exceptional job at my property. They cut in a driveway and laid gravel, dug and ran my water service and installed my septic for my new house that i’m building. The price that they quoted me was the lowest that I received and they done exceptional work and got everything done in a timely manner! Highly recommend these guys!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.
