"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."
"Highly recommend this team! Kyle is a very respectable family man who takes a lot of pride in the work he does. Fast and honest communication with realistic quotes. Kyle ensures the job meets your standards through the process. We have had a shingled roof, siding and stairs done previously by this team, currently scheduled to have a new metal roof put on our barn. Check these guys out for quality job completion!"
"He arrived right on time and came prepared to do the complete job. His workers were polite and professional. Work began at 9:00 AM and was finished by 1:30 PM. They left no mess behind. The price quoted was the price charged. We would highly recommend Roofs & More for any home repairs. Previously Roofs & More did our roof in one day where all other bids were estimating three days. The bid was the lowest of all others. The materials and workmanship were excellent. When the team left, the was no evidence that they had ever been there. It was very impressive."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.
While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.
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.
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.
