"I was EXTREMELY pleased and impressed with all aspects of my experience with Bay Ridge Development. Rick Sievers is a craftsman who has extensive experience in both custom new home construction and high-quality remodeling. From the very first meeting, I was impressed with Rick's demeanor, extensive knowledge and insight into possible "gotchas" associated with my project. Rick was extremely thorough and reasonable in his estimates, began the work exactly as scheduled and completed my project in less time than he had initially proposed. The quality of the work was extremely high, and Rick was very accommodating. HIGHLY Recommended!!"

"I am so glad I found Northern Earthworks to build my deck. Caden and his crew were professional and courteous and delivered a quality product on schedule. I have been known to be particular, and Caden listened to what I had to say and came up with a wonderful solution which resulted in an end result that was incredible. They left the job site neat and clean and helped me store the left- over material inside. I highly recommend them and definitely will be calling them to bid on my next project."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, barndominiums are designed to withstand strong weather and severe storms if they are built properly by trained professionals. Most barndominiums are made up of a steel structure that can protect a building from winds of up to 150 miles per hour and resist a variety of weather conditions without a major risk of structural damage to the exterior, foundation, or frame.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. 

The steep slope of an A-frame roof withstands high winds, heavy rain, and heavy snowfall, making them popular all over the world. A-frames also offer simple, quick construction. Finally, an A-frame typically has large windows on the non-roof sides to let in a maximum amount of natural light. Consequently, they are often an affordable building solution for the right homeowner and location.
