"Ethan is the only person who has worked at our home who was early for his appointment! He did a great job for us. He is very kind and also very polite."
"It went very well. While examining the under sink cabinet, there was a leak in the disposal, Ryan replaced it with a new one. He did a great job by attaching a wood plank under the sink cabinet, it looks good and hardy. Also he found out that there was an additional leak from a pipe in the basement closet. He went and bought all the hardware and did an excellent job in fixing the pipe leak, fixed the drywall, resurfaced and repainted the ceiling of the basement closet and in the process explained everything very well. We are very happy with his services and will definitely hire him for our future home projects."
"Great, detailed work. Installed 13 windows and even agreed to install a new garage door opener while working on the windows. Great group of local guys! Steve"
"Rob and his brother worked on our bathroom until its completion and were a welcome presence in our home. Rob is very ethical, and honest, he willingly and patiently returned damaged products, fixed a faulty faucet, and overall did a beautiful job with the bathroom. His expertise was very clear as he was able to fix flaws and misfits so that the finished bathroom looks very sharp. Rob kept us informed as to his plans and when things would be completed. Rob also was very cost conscious, allowed us to do the painting to keep costs down, and his estimate and final cost was far below other estimates we received. We are planning on having Rob come back soon and tackle our kitchen!"
"We have had two jobs done by Ledbetter construction. One was to replace a large, custom-made patio sliding door. The other was to replace the soffit and fascia high above our deck which was so high up it required scaffolding. We were very pleased with the Ledbetter crew and both jobs were done first rate and the price was reasonable. They care about the quality of their work. I like Kenny and his company and would recommend them to anyone."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
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.
If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill.

Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.
Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each.

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 a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences.
