"I live in Ohio and thru Angi searched for a contractor to replace a window in a modular home in Tennessee. My sister lives in the home. The contractor Fendernation contacted me. He contacted me and said he could do the job. I paid him 500.00 thru Zelle . The money was sent to Teresa Hall 352-461-7544. He said she was working with him. I drove to Tennessee and was there when he come to the house. I told him I not only wanted the one broken window replaced but both windows (which are side by side) so it looked the same. Also I asked if he could replace the front door and he said he could. At this point I wrote him a check for 300.00. (Balance due on Invoice 466683. He took out the broken window and went to get the doors (entry and storm door). He then said he couldn’t get the window and could close up the hole or get a different size window in. I did not want that. The doors he bought were standard size and opened the wrong way. He said he thought he picked up the wrong order at Lowe’s and would exchange. Then he told me he could order the door but it would be 3 weeks. Then he said that size was not available. He again said he could make to standard door fit, I did not want that. I searched around and found a Rv and Mobile home dealership that had the correct windows and door and decided to go with them. At this point I told him I was going with the other company and would like a refund. He understood and said he would start the refund process. The invoice showed the cost of the doors as 178.00 and 414.00 totaling 592.00. He advised that taking out the window would be 120.00. 592.00 less 120.00. I would like a refund or 472.00. I’ve paid him 800.00. I believe asking for 472.00 is more than fair. He will have made a total of 328.00 and didn’t complete the job."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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. 

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.

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.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best.
