"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."

"ok but I had to call them back to correct a problem with the stairs that were not evenly spaced. As I am fall due to Multiple Sclerosis, this is a major problrm for me., They did do a fix and I will pass final judgement after the winter. Nice, polite crew to have working at my home.

",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

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.

The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.
