"Very hard working men that really care about their work. They underbid the job they performed and were going to have to eat some materials which would result in them not making any money but after seeing their effort and dedication plus the fact that they are working for a non-profit I felt it was well worth paying the extra cost for the materials and their labor because of the job that they did. Hopefully this will develop a relationship that will satisfy my landscaping needs for the future. I would recommend them and their work and I will definitely be using them for future jobs."

"Nate is honest, does impeccable work, superior work ethic with sound advice, willing to listen to your ideas and help make best decisions that are within your price range. He is a man of many talents as not only did he totally tear down and put up a new fence but put in a new garage utility door and frame and rerouted the downspout for better drainage . He cleans up after his jobs which is huge now a days! But he is mindful of family time to get home to his sweet wife! Several other people wanted to hire him after seeing the finished product. He comes highly recommended and wish he was still in my area! A rare find!"

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
