"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."

"Michael did an amazing job on our fence. He finished fencing our backyard quicker than we ever imagined and got back to us the same day we first messaged him. He was professional and went above what was expected. He was respectful of our time and lack of experience in the process of having a fence installed. He kept us up to speed on the status of the material and let us know anytime he would be at the property beforehand, which anyone would appreciate. We couldn't reccomend him enough and will no doubt be using him for any future projects we night need."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job. 

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work.
