"After our fire, I couldn't find anyone willing to recommend a contractor so I turned to Angie's List and picked NE Renovations. I couldn't be happier with our choice. NE Renovations is everything I hoped for in a contractor, and more. Richard and the crew have been delightful to work with. Communication has been easy, estimates accurate, and when a problem arose - the plywood under one of the roofs was rotted - they gave us choices for fixing it. Everything is up front, no surprises. The crew arrived every day as promised and worked full days. And they are nice guys - polite, considerate of our home and dogs. Again tidiness was big. I would absolutely use NE Renovations again, and happily recommend them to friends. They made our house look beautiful!"

"Brandon’s roofing and construction company was immensely helpful with the inspection on my property. They were quick to get someone out to look at the home I was purchasing and at a time convenient to my realtor and I. Brandon acted professionally and considerately and was able to meet all my property needs. I have been happily living in this home a few months now and have Brandon to thank. Thank you Brandon’s roofing and construction!"

"They were available right off. I received a call the same day as I checked Home Advisor. Two days later the work was started and complete. The price was also very reasonable. I have other work that needs to be done ( hopefully before Winter). I have asked him about possibly doing it and I was told yes and to just let him know when I am ready."

"I had been looking to replace a leaky metal roof on an old barn my wife
had converted to use as her art studio.  The existing roof was an
exposed  fastener, reversed box rib pattern.  The roof support was open
purlins on 2x6 rafters spaced 24 inches on center.  We liked and wanted to
retain the metal roof feature of the building.
Almost all the roofers I talked to wanted to install a standing seam or
similar concealed fastener roof, which, in addition to being way more
expensive, would have required installation of a solid deck, likely
exceeding the design capacity of the existing rafters.  Few were
experienced and familiar with the type of roof we wanted.
Of the three estimates for an exposed fastener roof I was able to get,
Chris' was the most reasonable.  In addition, he was prompt in getting
out to look at the property and give an estimate, and personable and
professional in demeanor.  He did the job exactly when he said he would,
and the materials and workmanship were excellent.  Communicating with
him throughout the project was easy.
In summary, this was an outstanding experience with a professional and
knowledgeable contractor.  I would not hesitate to call on his services
again, or to recommend him to others.

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

Modular homes can be a great investment, especially for those who find the prices of stick-built real estate too high. Modular homes are usually much more affordable because they’re mass-manufactured and then assembled on-site or delivered mostly assembled. If they’re installed properly and by professionals, they can last for between 50 and 100 years, potentially making them an outstanding investment.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.
