"Josh came over quickly, measured, took pictures, and gave me a quote within my existing budget. Ronnie and Brock removed my old cooktop and under counter vent and replace them with new units. They were able to effectively deal with some minor issues and I was very pleased with their friendliness and professionalism. I would highly recommend them for any home improvement work."

"I hired Murray Contracting to replace the T1-11 wood siding on my 12x16 shed with vinyl siding. They did a great job, they were here on time, worked all day for two days, cleaned up and did it for a solid price. It's good to find young guys with a good work ethic. I'd hire them again anytime I have a project. I now have a brand new 25 year old shed, it looks great, thanks guys !"

"Gary was great! I lived on the 2nd floor of an old building and it was 24 steps up and 24 steps down with a lot of furniture and boxes. He and his crew moved quickly and efficiently and didn’t let the stairs slow them down. I would definitely use Mr. Grant for my next move!! Thanks for making this an easy and successful transition into my new place!!!"

"Painters arrived exactly on time and accomplished all tasks the same day. The manually stripped the deck and applied two coats of stain. They carefully cleaned and then painted the foundation concrete as it had got dirty over the years. They also scraped, caulked and painted a large bump-out window off our living room.

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

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.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.

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.
