"We hired RN Construction to help us renovate a very old house we purchased that had suffered major water damage from burst pipes the winter prior. I didn't know anything about RN Construction before finding him on Home Advisor and hiring him but I called a few of his references, which he gladly provided. I wish there had been a rewiew or 2 posted on Home Advisor as that would have increased my confidence coming into the project but Ron quickly earned my trust. I had a good gut feeling when I met him, and Ron always did exactly what he said he was going to do. Before the purchase Ron came with me to look at the property to assess the condition of the structure. We determined it was structurally sound and well worth the investment it would take to bring this house back to life. Ron, with the help of his recommended electrician and plumber all came to look at the house before we made an offer so that I could determine the likely cost of the renovation. Now it's a renovation and there were of course surprises and additional work we wanted done that bumped costs up but that is to be expected. A good rule of thumb is to take your estimate and multiply it by 1.5 with any project. This was no exception but when I do the math on the amount of hours and people on the crew who were here working hard every day, not to mention materials, I can tell you with confidence that we paid a very fair price for the work that was done. This was an older house built in 1742 with a lot of character that we wanted to preserve. My husband, 8 1/2 year old daugher, and I lived in the house while it was being renovated. If you have to spend 7 months of your life with a crew, I really can't imagine a better one to have around. They have a great camaraderie and are always courteous and helpful. Ron was always a phone call away whenever I needed him or had a question and was incredibly accomodating on all of our requests. The quality of work is top notch. Ron has decades of experience and has trained his crew well. Due to this being such an old house there were a lot of crooked floors and walls to deal with, which made this a complex project but looking around the house now you'd never know it suffered any damage at all. Ron and his crew really brought it back to its former glory and then some. We began the project in September of renovating this main house and also a guest house. Ron had estimated that we'd be done by late March or early April. It's March 31st and they are wrapping up the last few details here. My two pieces of advice are 1) if you're extremely fussy about materials (as I am) then do be sure to work with Ron to pick them out. And 2) treat Ron and his crew with respect. They deserve it and will return it. We feel very lucky to have found RN Construction. They will remain our goto crew for any future projects."

"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"Mike and his crew were very professional. He kept me informed of what to expect, and up to date as the work was being done. He consulted me whenever there were decisions to be made. I felt informed and respected throughout the process. He is very thorough and stands by his work. I have used Mike for a number of jobs. Now my next-door neighbors are having him work on their home too."

"Barn Rescue – My barn was hit by a vehicle, which broke a large post and pushed section of siding out from under the roofline, plus major damage at ground level. Brad shored it up for the winter with an array of jacks and an enormous chain to ensure the thing wouldn’t fall down till they could return in the spring. Come spring, they fully replaced the damaged section’s support members and facade, and added bracing to the attic, rendering it stronger than before. Foundation support: The sagging beams and jerry-rigged support columns in the dirt basement of our 18th century house were inadequate. They dug and poured a dozen footings and lally columns, supporting a line of new 6x6 and 9x9 beams that provide solid support to the house above. They showed up promptly every day, worked fast, and left the site clean and finished. Both Brad and Chad have a deep knowledge about old houses and the techniques that were used, and I felt my historic register property was in good hands."

"It went very well! He knew what to do when a problem arose (insulation in the window channels where the weights go). We had to re-negotiate the price for the extra work he had to do, but it all went well and was accomplished within the time he said. Looks great! House is from 1920's with original windows. The wood was in good shape but glass was very fine and broken in places. 6 exterior window openings"

"It went well! I expected it to take a long time to get it picked up, but I called for the bag to be emptied on Friday and they were here Saturday! I am already filling it up again. (We have a MESS from the storm and need to finish the kitchen before this weekend's company coming in from out of town.) I have already called them to request my bag be emptied on Friday, and they have me on the schedule! I can't believe the customer service is so great! This is not a regular dumpster company. I have a dumpster delivered last summer and they gouged my driveway. What a nightmare it was to get them to pay for the driveway to be fixed. NEVER AGAIN! It's BullBag only for our future needs."

"We recently had a complete roof replacement. Before proceeding, we did comprehensive research of area companies and Vista came out on top, with good reason! All appointments were not only on time but were extremely punctual. We met first with Product Specialist Holly, who was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. While at our home assessing the proposed job, Project manager Rick explained the entire process in layman's terms. The day of the job, Project Supervisor Marc arrived early and went over the entire job with the crew. All company representatives left us with a business card with their cell #'s to call if we required anything. The installation crew was amazing. They arrived early and began immediately. They were no nonsense, very focused and, worked like a well oiled machine. All Vista team members were polite and respectful of my special request to be cognizant around some of my more cherished trees & shrubs. Vista was fastidious in their care for my home and lawn, not one speck of debris was left behind. Vista, the installation crew, company representatives, everyone, exceeded our expectations. Vista stands behind their work and products. If you wish to relax after a major home improvement project knowing the job was done correctly, you will want to consider Vista. Dan & Kim Belchertown"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

While building a treehouse isn’t necessarily a death sentence, damaging the trunk is one of the ways to kill a tree. If you’re concerned about the tree, opt for a treehouse support system rather than attaching it directly to the trunk. This may involve using bolts and brackets to affix the structure to the tree's branches or establishing a standalone support system that remains unattached to the tree.

The construction stage is almost always the longest part of building a house. Within this stage, framing often takes the most time, lasting anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the home's size, the crew, and the time of year. Other parts of the construction phase include pouring the foundation and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring. The planning and design phase can also be very time-consuming, sometimes taking months or even years, especially for a custom home. The final finishing process, which includes painting and installing trim, is typically shorter than the construction or planning stages.

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.
