"We would definitely hire PAV Construction again for any home project. They were highly professional, on-time, on-budget, always very pleasant, and their work is OUTSTANDING! This was a major remodel of the entire downstairs of our home with wall removal and wall construction, new windows, doors, new kitchen, installation of hardwood floors throughout the first floor, rebuilding of staircase, hardwood flooring in the upstairs hallway, basement flooring and ceiling. The work exceeded our expectations!! it is absolutely beautiful! Pavlin, the owner, offered excellent suggestions for the remodel. His communication was incredible. He regularly kept us updated with texts and photos, and responded to any questions within the day. His crew was excellent as well as talented, hardworking and accommodating."

"I needed someone to put two window AC units in place and Thiago has taken care of this for me for three seasons now. He is super and he has a person who helps him with the installation and removal of two units. He always reaches out to schedule time to do this for me and he always notifies me of his arrival time. He is professional, polite, efficient and caring."

Customers say: Quick response

"Konstantin and Kreative Barn did an excellent job. They exceeded all expectations. Konstantin works well with the homeowner informing them of time schedules, any change of plans, and always doing things within budget. If things need to be changed because of unforeseen problems, delivery of supplies etc., he adapts well and keeps you in the loop. Also the contractors he uses are superb; the electrician, plumber and painters etc. will be used by me going forward because of their great work. My wife and I would definitely recommend Kreative Barn to handle any construction need!"

"I had water damage in my townhouse, so this was both a mold remediation and renovation project (involving mainly the master bath and garage). US Propaint was referred to me by a neighbor who had similar work done. JR and Laura were very nice to work with, and all of the guys he sent over were courteous and did an excellent job. I appreciated how the project stayed within budget and was completed in a reasonable amount of time."

"Replaced the wood flooring and painted the sunroom after frozen pipes resulted in water damage throughout the sunroom. Harold and his crew were very helpful in the process of replacing the washing machine and dryer and helpful in choosing new appliances that would fit into the space. The pricing to do the work was reasonable and we will hire Harold to do more work on the house."

"We are trying to sell our house and are on a strict timeline. Max responded to my inquiry immediately and was very professional. He was able to come to our house the next day, and start the work within 48 hours of our inquiry. Him and his team were efficient, and gave us peace of mind going into the selling of our house. Could not recommend Makyson Building more!"

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.

Yes, particularly handy DIYers can build their own storm shelter, especially when using a prefabricated kit and an existing space. However, it is a large project that can take several weeks, requiring significant manual labor and heavy equipment. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often recommended. You should always leave certain jobs to a pro, such as installing an underground shelter, projects requiring site excavation, or any custom-designed structures. These types of builds are complex, labor-intensive, and can cost more in the long run if not executed properly.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

Yes, in most cases, you will need a building permit or planning permission to install a carport. The exact requirements depend on your local municipality's laws and regulations. Generally, any carport that is permanently affixed to the ground, whether standalone or attached, will require a permit. Some premade carports may not require one, but it's crucial to verify. If you hire a professional installer, they will likely handle the permitting process. If you are building it yourself, you must contact your local building department to determine what permits are needed before starting your project.
