"Working with WR Builders Inc. was a smooth and enjoyable process. We hired them to build a custom deck in our backyard, and the result is simply stunning. The team was knowledgeable and helped us design a deck that fits perfectly with our home and outdoor space. The craftsmanship is excellent, and they used high-quality materials that we know will last. They finished the project ahead of schedule and left the job site immaculate. We could be more pleased with the outcome and will definitely be using WR Builders Inc. for future projects."

"When we started our plan of remodeling, the first thing we did was the complete roof replacement including kitchen vent & duct pipe installation to the roof, and new installation of attic ventilation. MMP did not only completed it just as agreed but also very efficiently. The crews were friendly, professional, and careful. The jobs were carefully managed and implemented effectively. I was impressed by Matt, who is the manager, and he does an outstanding job in managing the crews and the progress of the situation, and the communication was clear and always to the point. We then moved to initiate a search for a contractor of two bathrooms remodeling after completing the roof and attic vent, MMP was one of the many candidates. Matt has had not only the best idea and proposals but also shown an impressive & professional sense of evaluating the project accurately, including the possible structural modification as well as a competitive estimate of the cost of the build. His proposal included a rebuild of a wall of the bathroom to expand another one adjacent to it. Matt accepted to use my schematic design image (made with a software tool) and a spreadsheet list of the fixtures that I created - as many as fifty items including TOTO, Grohe, American Standard, Panasonic, and IKEA - to start the job (later changed some of them due to local plumbing code compliance) After beginning the bathroom remodel project, Matt shared what jobs will be done with us timely and efficiently via text so that we feel comfortable enough in knowing what is going on while living in the house of dust & noise from remodeling. The crews, Zen and Mark, were very courteous, extensively experienced, reliable, and friendly with excellent communication, sometimes with songs of 80s rock music. They ask me when more precise specifications are needed and notified me when they feel advance notifications are required. When a change is necessary due to inspection, they informed me and clarified what and why. I have never felt uncomfortable in living together with the remodel job which has lasted over four months. The completed two bathrooms were stunning, just as I imagined. Matt, Zen, and Mark have proved their strong & thoughtful expertise and lived up with my request patiently until completion. Great job. A home remodeling project cannot be successful without having a trusted partner, and my experience with MMP has led me to be glad to share my confidence that MMP has a credential to become your reliable partner to manage a construction project together."

"Bob is so easy to work with. He quickly gave a reasonable quote and came to install my new ducted range hood within a week and completed the job in couple of hours. He and his brother were just pros. It’s also very convenient that you can pay him with a credit card. I highly recommend Bob for your home projects. I’ll definitely keep him mind for my future home projects."

"Other builders came in with estimates that cost less than US ProPaint and Renovation. In spite of this we chose US ProPaint and Renovation because JR explained all the work that would be done to demolish our wooden deck and replace it with trex decking. The other builders who gave us estimates did not spend as much time, or explain what they would do to complete the work we wanted.; and their estimates were lower in cost, but not a whole lot less. Once we committed to have US ProPaint and Renovation work for us, the work began very quickly. JR told us the work would commence in 2 weeks. They actually started earlier than that. 3 men worked long hours, typically 8:30 am to 7 pm each day in some pretty warm and humid weather. They were courteous and kept me informed on what they were going to accomplish on any given day. We were completely satisfied with the work and how the deck ended up. We will hire them again for other projects."

"Jack just completed an addition to our home, and we could not have asked for a better builder experience! He is organized and efficient, his work is excellent and the result is a wonderful addition that we are enjoying! Jack is responsive, straightforward and knowledgeable. He also built our neighbors home 6ish years ago and they love it and have not had any issues. We highly recommend working with String Builders and Jack. We plan to work with him for more house projects in the future!"

"Eric and Tom are passionate about the work they do and clearly love it. They listened throughout the project, were able to make suggestions and help us to be comfortable with work being done in our home - which is key when having any type of construction work done at home. Trust. Frankie is awesome and talented. Three projects done with great satisfaction - more in the future as we plan our kitchen and bath renovations and other work. They haven't forgotten the small jobs AND return phone calls and emails. We are very happy with D&R."

"Huge thank you to Abalia Construction! Khaled, the general contractor/owner made our home renovation dreams come true! Seriously, this guy went above and beyond. We had this huge house project on our hands and a short timeline to get everything done. But Khaled? He's like a magician. Somehow, he managed to keep us on track, while also balancing our vision and our budget! I'm talking about creative solutions that we never would've thought of ourselves. And the best part? He made it all happen without sacrificing quality. Our home looks absolutely stunning now, thanks to Abalia Construction. Honestly, if you're thinking about any kind of construction or renovation work, do yourself a favor and use Abalia. Khaled is the real deal and will turn your vision into reality, no doubt about it. Highly recommend!"

"We couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start...even before we made a decision to hire HS plastering and painting, Humberto gave us a detailed quote and answered all of our questions. He was punctual and professional and he made sure all our questions were answered. We wanted to have the painting done before the holidays and he made sure our schedule was honored. When it came time for the work to start, all of the workers were as respectful to my home as Humberto was. Every inch of my flooring and furnishings were protected and when they were finished at the end of the day, their materials were neatly stored in the designated area In my garage. In addition they made certain we had access to our kitchen area so we had coffee in the morning. The work was impeccable. Attention to detail and ensuring my home was clean each night ensured the experience was something I would recommend. My home is beautiful and when they left there was no dust anywhere in my home. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them"

"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."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. 

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.

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. 

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

Choosing a suitable backyard playset that’s age-appropriate and entertaining for your children is worth the cost. A backyard playset you can update and upgrade as your kids grow offers even more benefits. Although a playset won’t substantially increase your home’s value, it won’t negatively affect it either.
