"Did a great job. Built mailbox stand with an excellent custom flair. Built for strength. Texted and came right away. The message transition to know who was talking to me was confusing at first. DP was also not sure who it was initially."

"Brandon is simply the best at his craft and is a great guy all around. He completely gutted the 2nd floor of our home and reconfigured the space adding a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams . He put in a beautiful full bathroom and redid the stairs with handcrafted railings. His passion for detail shows in every single job he does. He is well rounded and can do any job you have . I had him come back to put a whole new roof on our huge garage and he knocked that out of the park also ! He was only contractor that got back to me and feel very fortunate I retained him for this massive reconstruction project. Just a honest hardworking great guy . Thanks Brandon ð"

"Timber Hitch removed three trees at my request, limbs were chipped, good or usable wood was hauled off-site to be utilized for home heating. Workers are very friendly, are also very considerate regarding both site cleanup and following property owners request that could cause possible damage to owners property. Will be hiring again for more tree removal. TimberHitch was hired again by me to remove numerous very large trees this summer, meaning Summer of 2020. At least two trees were over 80 years old with numerus large trunk branches which were located very close to my home. TimberHitch safely removed these trees in addition to some smaller and dead trees which could have created problems with my home. Also there was a very tall tree near my garage which was removed as it was close enough to both my home and garage which could have caused considerable damage to either if toppled by winds. Due to the fact I was now faced with large amounts of wood to be removed from my property TimberHitch contacted a logging company at my request to have the wood removed. Their cleanup during and after removal of the trees was outstanding, also due to COVID-19 they were considerate about keeping social distancing while I was discussing work with them. I have another tree removal project coming up, TimberHitch will be contacted for this project."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

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.

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

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

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.
