"I would absolutely recommend Best Homes LLC. Jonathan and Jeffrey did an excellent job on my basement remodel. I was on a time crunch to sell my house and urgently needed to remodel my basement by building a full kitchen with wet bar, installing wood floor and stairway, interior painting, and light fixture replacements. They promised to complete this in a month, but got it done in less than 30 days, all without sacrificing quality. It was so stunning, just one week after they finished, I got an offer on my home. I have never seen a group of people work in such a coordinated, efficient, and diligent manner. His separate teams for plumbing, electricity, carpentry, flooring, and cabinet and appliance installation were extremely punctual, professional, and dedicated, sometimes working well into the evening. They never missed a schedule. The quality of their work was supreme. All county inspections passed. Jonathan also went above and beyond to accommodate my change orders along the way, and turned out very nicely. Above all, their pricing was very reasonable and more competitive than most quotes I got. I want to say thank you to Jonathan and the team and wish Best Homes LLC continued success!!!"

"From the start to finish, we were very pleased. When Custom Home Creations Partner Garrett arrived, we were impressed with his thorough assessment of what work was needed and what we wanted done. His proposal was right on point with what we expected. The construction team arrived on time, were professional and they efficiently completed the project within the time frame we were quoted. We now have a beautiful, safe and secure pressure-treated wood deck and stairs and we look forward to staining it in early Spring. Here's our "Before and After" photos! We would definitely hire and recommend Custom Home Creations for future projects!"

"Our master bathroom desperately needed an update, and VKB Kitchen and Bath Frederick completely transformed it. We wanted a bathroom that felt more open and relaxing with a better shower, updated tile and fixtures, and more useful storage. We did run into an unexpected issue once the old bathroom was opened up. Our project manager explained what they found, showed us what needed to be addressed and kept us updated while it was being taken care of. There was a slight delay because of it, but we appreciated that they wanted to fix the underlying problem correctly instead of covering it up and moving on. Now that everything is finished, the bathroom feels like a completely different room. The tile work is beautiful and we love the overall design. Very happy with the end result."

"Great people to work with. Friendly, courteous, and professional. Awesome teamwork! Dominic, the owner, and Sarah, who provided the survey and pictures, were instrumental in me selecting this company. Both were attentive to what I wanted for this project. The completed landscaping, including the new railroad ties, was very impressive. Thank you, Dominic, Sarah, and the Wayside Landscaping team. I will definitely call you again."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.

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.

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

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.

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.
