"Paul and Romy were great to work with. They listened to what I wanted everything to look like in the end. Any issue or question was discussed with me to insure that it would turn out according to my expectation. It is evident that the quality of their work is important. Paul and Romy gave suggestions: enhance my desired outcome, make something more functional or to be more cost effective. Most suggestions I implemented due to their experience in construction and am extremely pleased with the end results. My budget was tight and Paul was very respectful of that and kept me informed of changes in the estimate based on what needed to be done next but stayed within my parameters. Paul is very knowledgable, he researched and helped me find quality items (before I bought them). He never rushed me to make a decision and tried to give me options which I really appreciated. We lived in our home during this entire process. They made this experience pleasant even though the kitchen, back porch and half bath were completely gutted (lath and plaster), but they clean up at the end of the day leaving it as nice as possible under the circumstances. Paul always communicated his work schedule and was willing to make changes for us if necessary. We have more remodeling to complete and will be using Custom Choice Construction."

"Been doing DIY home improvements for a few years now and needed some help with drywall repair. Chad came for a quote originally and explained to me what I would do to fix it myself! Thought about it, and decided to hire him as a consultant to learn some new tricks and really get a good handle on the project. He was prompt and helpful and Brandi was very good at coordinating the project. Will be hiring him again for other projects!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

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.

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.

The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.
