"Jerrod and his crew did an excellent job on our home addition and front porch. He was good with communication throughout the process. I felt completely fine with them working on our project while we were at work. They were respectful and cleaned up daily during the work. Jerrod was also open to changes and questions. I would recommend them to family and friends. The payment schedule was appropriate, too. We just made the final payment on completion and we would consider having him do future projects for us."

"WE CUT OUR GAS BILL IN HALF DOING RECOMMENDED UPGRADES. THEY DID A COMPREHENSIVE HOME AUDIT AND THEY GOT A REPORT FROM CONSUMERS SPECIFIC TO MY HOME. IT HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LEVEL OF COMFORT OF THE HOUSE. NO MORE FREEZING COLD SPOTS. THE GUY THAT CAME OUT WAS EASY GOING AND VERY INFORMATIVE. WE GOT REBATES FROM CONSUMERS FOR DOING THE UPGRADES. THEY INSTALLED A WI FI THERMOSTAT WHICH WORKS WITH MY CELL PHONE SO THAT HAS BEEN FUN USING THAT FEATURE. OVER ALL "A" EXPERIENCE."

"I was very happy with my experience with Rock Solid Exteriors. First I met Levi when he came out (in the rain) to look at my roof and provided a great estimate. Next I spoke with Tammie in the office to get the process moving forward. My project got scheduled quickly and within a week I was meeting the Brian, Luke and the rest of the team at my home. The roofing team did a great job of protecting my patio and landscape. Each time I came outside to see what work was going on, Brian answered any questions I had. Once they were done they cleaned up and as I walked the yard with them and each time I asked a question or pointed something out they patiently answered all questions. When I asked if they could take "one more pass" with the magnet for nails they said no problem and did another sweep. Finally, today I met Jeff when he and Luke came back to walk the property and answer any additional questions I had. I would recommend Rock Solid Exteriors to anyone in need of work on their home."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.

Your foundation contractor will first need to remove the topsoil and any vegetation within 4 feet of the area around the barn. They’ll need to ensure they have clear access to the site to begin excavation, after which they can begin construction.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

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.
