"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."

"Blue Spruce Property Management was super helpful in removing 3 trees in close proximity to my building! They were the most reasonably priced among all of the other quotes I received. They also were the most prompt in their ability to schedule in a timely manner! Mostly, I appreciated that they were very confident about how they would remove the trees without the need for cranes or other heavy equipment that wouldn't have fit in my driveway. This father/son duo traveled an hour away to help us out. Thank you guys for everything!"

"You Will Not Be Disappointed! We hired Ken and his crew to do all the carpentry work on an inn in Camden that we were totally remodeling. In a desire to keep this review brief, let me begin by saying that he was one of the best contractors we hired for the project, and we had many who were very good; some disappointing but Ken and his crew, were amazing. We hired him for a smaller scope of work, but soon realized that he is a talented general contractor which is evident in how he plans and schedules the work to be done; consults with you along the way - regularly suggesting other ways to proceed with the project - always with an eye toward doing it in a way that is more cost effective. Dependability and punctuality were off the charts. He and his crew were onsite every day as planned and weekends when available. We have since referred him to a number of others who have had equally positive results. His crew members are a pleasure to work with - all very pleasant and polite, with a no nonsense approach to the days work. We still have Ken back to do follow-up work - and although he has a full schedule, with much larger projects, he makes the time to get our smaller jobs done. Can not say enough about what a find he and his crew were to our project."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.

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.

Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.
