"Very professional and quality workmanship. His foreman was also very professional and knowledgeable. Dean and his crew went above and beyond to not only fix my deck and items that I hired them for in my cottage but fixed problems they found as they worked along the way, saving me time and money in the end. He always kept me informed of the projects and anything that happened to â pop up unexpectedlyâ . Iâ ve recommended him to my neighbors, and I would definitely hire him for future jobs if needed. His price point was extremely reasonable and affordable. Heâ s on site overseeing work and does a lot of the work himself. Another thing we liked. Clean up was good. Dean sent pictures of progress or if he had questions. Another thing which we liked and most contractors donâ t do. Definitely a good guy and great company!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Your chicken coop needs to be off the ground to protect your chickens and avoid problems brought on by flooding, mud, and moisture. If you can't locate a high area to build the coop, you should build an elevated coop to ensure it stays dry. 

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.

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.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

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.
