"We had a very small roof area need to be repaired. I sent request to multiple company to give a service quote. Few of them sent me replies and stated that they are too busy to come. Matt of MMP Consturction's contacted me promptly, scheduled an on-site visit and gave us a quote right away. The work was then scheduled and finished quickly. Matt did great job on reaching out, effective communication, and always arriving on-time. He also gave an evaluation on our roof condition. Also, Eric and Don did excellent job on finishing the project. They are all very polite, knowledgeable, and showed their professionalism. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Matt and his crew. We are very grateful for having them arriving on-time before the winter storm to prevent potential damage of the house. From their react, we see a warm heart. No job is big or small, all jobs are equally important. Understanding the difficulties of others, for the people, been appreciated by the people. Thank you again for your high quality service. We definitively recommend MMP Construction Inc. to anyone for any related home project."

"I hired Rudy’s Carpentry & Painting to repair my indoor stairs, and the results were excellent. Rudy and his were professional, courteous, and respected my 300 year home throughout the project. The repair was done with precision — the stairs are now sturdy, safe, and look fantastic. Rudy completed the work on schedule without cutting corners. He listened to my concerns, explained options, and ensured I was completely satisfied before finishing. I highly recommend Rudy’s Carpentry & Painting to anyone needing reliable home repair. In fact, I have additional projects coming soon and Rudy will be my choice. Their combination of skill, professionalism, and attention to detail makes them a standout resource."

"I cannot recommend Marco enough! My vinyl fence was damaged over the winter, and he quickly agreed to come out to give me an estimate. He identified and explained the issues that were present, and exactly the repairs needed. He was so honest and thorough, so I asked him about extending another section of my fence. I was pleasantly shocked that he offered to come back two days later to do it all! I thought I'd have to wait for weeks! The repair looks fantastic, as he perfectly matched and fitted the new pieces to the undamaged areas, and the new extension looks and feels sturdy and perfectly even. He and the crew left the area pristine and clean. I'm saving up for some other projects like a little patio and some new plantings, and these guys will be my first call!"

Barndominium Builders FAQs, 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, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.
