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

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.

While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell.

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

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.
