"Tyler was prompt, very polite, very professional. Worked quickly, eager to do a good job, which he did. He replaced our dryer vent at the point when it went outside. He even replaced it with one that would not clog up, again, so we never have to worry about it getting clogged and starting a fire. We were so happy to have met him."

",I bought a home on the east side of Providence Last August.  It's a great home, But after 60 Years with the same owner it definitely needed some major remodeling.  Richard had previously completed some painting, electrical, and roofing work on the house...So i was excited to get started with him.  I cannot stress enough how great his team is, he used Licensed plumbers and Electricians...a professional tile guy...and for the cabinet installation and general remodeling I was lucky enough to get his Father-in-Law Bill.  A former boat builder and all around great guy.

All of the guys that worked on the job were professional, polite and conscientious.  I had remodeled a Kitchen in a previous home...and every aspect of this job ...electrical, plumbing, flooring and cabinetry installation beat my previous remodeling experience hands down.  Old homes always have their surprises, Richard's team addressed every one of these without any changes to the original estimate.

Working with Richard is a joy, he is responsive and professional and personally makes sure every aspect of the job goes well.  I had some difficulties with the Cabinet Supplier, and Richard helped me resolve all these issues satisfactorily.
If Angies list allowed A+'s  Richard would get one in every category.

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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 steep slope of an A-frame roof withstands high winds, heavy rain, and heavy snowfall, making them popular all over the world. A-frames also offer simple, quick construction. Finally, an A-frame typically has large windows on the non-roof sides to let in a maximum amount of natural light. Consequently, they are often an affordable building solution for the right homeowner and location.

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best.
