"I was very impressed from the start of the quote process with JR, through the comprehensive work from his painting and construction crews to the final inspection of US ProPaint's quality and timely work. Our home is a 1768 Cape with a barn in need of a lot of repairs prior to painting. Their work went above and beyond by adding, without charge, some minor but notable "surprises' not included in the quote. JR clearly views customer satisfaction and exceeding expectations as goal #1."

"Mike did a teriffic job on a dropped ceiling in our basement. He worked with us to figure out how to cover various plumbing while keeping max ceiling height and a nice appearance. He built a soffit and installed lighting. We are very happy with the results and recommend Mike highly."

"I highly recommend Claudios Painting for anyone seeking help with their home improvement projects. They were professional, detail oriented and extremely helpful with suggestions on how to fix the repairs effectively. The quality of workmanship was excellent and they were always true to their word in all aspects, including showing up when promised. Communication was through and detailed with pictures showing the work that was being done. I would definitely use Claudioâ s painting again."

"We were so pleased with the results. We had a complete home renovation. Al was so kind and not only listened, but homored our requests. He worked with us on the details of our plans. It was not your typical home reno as Al had to correct all of the work of a prior contractor. Al was reassuring and not only delivered on his promises, but produced such quality workmanship. The same goes for those he contracts with especially the painters. We have been living in our home now for two years and it's exactly as he promised: it feels like home, a place we always want to come back to. Thanks Al."

"Pierre Construction demo'd an existing porch and replaced it with a covered farmers porch, removed an existing exterior door and replaced with a picture window, replaced 8 double hung windows, and resided our home, and we can't speak any more highly of Dave and his crew. They were a pleasure to work with, do extremely high quality work, are extremely creative and talented, and are open minded and reassuring in the project. The communication and follow through was great throughout the entire project. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone and wouldn't think twice of using him again for anything as small as a minor repair to something as substantial as a full remodel/new build."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.

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.

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.

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property
