"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

Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.

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.

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.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work.
