"Jamin and his crew of three hard working conscientious guys replaced about 20 feet of rotten sill on my 100 year old colonial house. A tough, nasty project, they got it done ahead of schedule and at a fair price. There were no communication to be concerned with and the politeness of the whole crew was exemplary. I am very pleased with the whole project and process. I highly recommend Kaes home remodel and contract company."

"Harvey and his team were professional and courteous. My wife and I were very satisfied with the completed work on the interior. We had originally planned on doing the exterior of the house first but had to change our plans. Harvey was accommodating and offered suggestions. Some I took, some I didn't. We are already discussing the projects for this coming summer. He doesn't know it but I have a couple new ideas I may implement. I have no doubt that they will do as an outstanding job on the exterior as they did inside. It looks like a new home."

"We hired Wayne and Jesse to erect a post and beam kit home on our property. The project was comprehensive, beginning with excavating the lot and finishing with delivering a weather tight shell 5-6 months later, just ahead of winter. There were many challenges with non-standard construction details required to complete the build and to satisfy our own exacting requirements for achieving a well insulated and air tight home. Wayne, Jesse and the team were very accommodating and we always felt that their primary goal was to deliver the home built the way we wanted it built. They made and implemented many suggestions for improvements. When we discovered a few issues with the kit, they always had ideas to overcome any difficulties. We highly recommend Downeast Cabin Builders. Wayne, Jesse and the team made the whole process a great experience."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

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.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.
