"As our project proceed we found additional problems that needed to be address. Doug always had great ideas on how to best address the problems and the most reasonable cost to complete them. He always gave us pros and cons for the best ways to address the new problems. Was very helpful with finding additional services that he recommended do the job due to their expertise in the area, such as encapsulation of the crawl space."

"The bathroom tiles in our 1960s bathroom shower were literally falling off the wall. I contacted Home Advisor and was honored to be introduced to Michael Minietta. Michael is a visionary. He completely transformed our bathroom into a sanctuary significantly improving our quality of life. His carpentry skills are second to none and he can fix anything. Michael is extremely clean, trustworthy, talented and knowledgeable. He is pleasant and always has a positive outlook. Michael has become an extension of our family. He is treasured by all including our dog. We couldn't be happier with the results of this project. I highly recommend Michael. 135832570"

"We just got our basement remodeled by Blue Ridge Builders and we are extremely satisfied with their performance. The basement looks outstanding and the finish mirrors that of our main floor upstairs. We could not have hired a better builder. Wayne and his crew demonstrated to us that they are real professionals. The structure and finish is solid. My wife and I were looking for honesty, dependability and professionalism; Blue Ridge Builders demonstrated all of the above and more. Thank you so much Wayne. We would definitely recommend Blue Ridge Builders."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

While a log cabin is often less expensive to build than a typical home, cabins actually have a similar cost per square foot. The main difference affecting price is that log cabins tend to be much smaller than traditional homes. For instance, many cabins are about 500 square feet, versus a traditional house which averages between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet.

Turnbuckle weight loads vary depending on their size. Smaller 1/4-inch turnbuckles have a weight capacity of about 500 pounds. A 3/8-inch diameter turnbuckle, which is strong enough to handle most residential fence gates, can handle a working load of 1,200 pounds. Larger 1/2-inch diameter models have a limit of 4,000 pounds.

A storm shelter's size depends on the number of people who will use it and the types of storms it provides protection from. Tornadoes typically only last a few minutes, so you don't need to spend very long in the shelter when one passes by. You'll want a tornado shelter that's big enough to provide 5 square feet of space per person.

Hurricanes usually last much longer than tornadoes, so you may find yourself in the shelter for hours, not minutes, if you’re facing one. If you're installing a hurricane shelter, you'll need at least 7 square feet per person.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

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.
