Customers say: Quality work

"I had a major plumbing pressure leak inside if my home. There was extensive damage throughout. Lamp Development was extremely quick to survey the damage, begin the drying process, and demolition. Plumbing repairs had to be made, walls had to come out, cabinets had to come out, flooring, , etc... then all replaced. Major repairs throughout the home. I am so impressed with the quality of their work, their helpfulness and guidance, and the care that they show in every aspect of the project. I will definitely hire them again! Update since my last review: I have had them come to this property again and other properties that I own and have continued to be very impressed with their work care helpfulness and service. I continue to strongly recommend them."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Excellent! Monge Remodeling literally saved the day and saved my home. A local contractor performed the worst construction work I’d ever seen and most of the work was done behind walls, when inspectors saw the work they couldn’t believe it. Monge Remodeling was the ONLY contractor that would touch this job and take on this challenge. If Monge Remodeling is available for any construction work that I need performed, that’s the company I’ll go with hands down and if there isn’t any availability, I’ll wait until there is. I trust Monge and that means a lot when you are spending money you’ve earned and saved for construction projects. Trust, that’s HUGE! Highly recommend!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.

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.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.
