"We had a long list of repairs needed to our historic barn. Bob was excellent to work with. He helped me source replacement trim from a specialty lumber yard to match our existing trim. Bob repaired numerous areas of trim and shingle siding. The craftsmanship was excellent and I appreciated Bob’s approach. I would use him again for any of our future Projects."

"I was impressed because we had a problem with the attic door itself, and he did not find this out until it was installed. He took the door back to Lowe's and absorbed the extra cost to re-install. He really went out of his way to make sure the job was done properly. He also came back and painted the wooden trim around the door and touched up the plaster on the ceiling. Overall, he was great to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone."

"Tom Cromer was great to work with throughout the project. He personally came by the house several times before the project started to discuss the details of the work?often in the evening or on weekends to accommodate my schedule. He did a lot of the work himself and watched his crew's work closely. When the project was done he did several "final passes" with me to ensure I was happy with the results before collecting the final payment.
Tom was easy to talk to and always easy to reach. He endured several project changes and delays caused by my electrical contractor without a complaint (or a charge), even canceling a family vacation to keep a few of his projects on track. The team that works for him are talented, friendly, and were very respectful of the house.
From the beginning, Tom and his crew were very collaborative and amenable to all requests I made. He wisely challenged a few of my ideas when he was convinced I wouldn't be happy with the results. At one point he even did some extra work to show me the solution he thought I'd like better. He was right each time. He never nickel-and-dimed over the details of the project and was completely transparent over the expenses incurred at my request (structural engineer, trash removal, etc).

"To be fully honest, at first I was a little skeptical, as I am with most contractors, but they came in on time, were very clean, and were punctual about the things I asked for and needed done. The crew was efficient and the work was done correctly. They even helped and built my elderly neighbor a garage bathroom after seeing the work at my house. I definitely will have them back to build my ADU for my in-laws."

Pole Barn Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

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. 

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.
