"Bob returned my call on Thursday, 6/19/14 at 1p. It sounded to me like he was coming right over to inspect the hole. I waited 7 hours; then finally called him to say it was after 8p and I wanted to eat dinner, etc. The TV was playing in the background. He'd forgotten. He apologized and said he'd come by at 9a the next morning (Friday, 6/20/14). And he did.
In the meantime, I went to my shed an got my dog's wading pool, hauled it to the attic, and placed it under the hole in the roof.
After Bob inspected the hole from inside the attic, he gave me an verbal estimate of $125 and said he'd fit me in some time the following week. By Friday of the next week (6-27-14), I called Bob. He said he'd fix my roof early next week.
On Monday, 6/30/14, Bob rings the doorbell at 5p. He didn't call ahead of time, because he hadn't written down my phone number.
The job took an hour. He used my ladder, broom, scrap wood board, and shingles.
He had quoted $125. He asked for $150.
I paid the $150 and did not use the Angie's List coupon (I had forgotten to mention that I had printed one off on the day he made his quote so it was invalid).
June had been a really hot, sticky month. Bob had mentioned that he was really, really busy. He was always up-beat. I understood the delays but wished he had remembered my name and number instead of me having to call him back. He was the only person who was even interested in fixing my roof. The original roofing firm would not return my calls. (Too small of a job?)
Bob's assistant went above and beyond. While he was waiting for Bob to inspect the hole from on top of the roof, he brushed small branches, etc. from off the roof and then swept the debris from the gutters. <AWESOME!> (The neighbor's big oak trees drop a lot of branches, leaves, limbs on my roof. Thus, the hole in the roof.)
I'm glad the hole is fixed and would use Bob again (even with his quirks).

"After reading the reviews below I was almost hesitant to call DNA, thinking "nobody can be that good." I was right--they're even better. I'm the reason there's such a gap in recommendations here--I didn't want them lining up jobs with anyone else! I'd been fretting about overdue home maintenance for years, but when a gutter inspector inadvertently dislodged a section of decaying fascia my hand was finally forced. I found this page and gave DNA a call. They were courteous and prompt, coming right out to inspect the problem and give an estimate, which was carefully detailed. The work was swift and perfect. Equally as important, Derek and Alex are the sort of polite, unassuming, conscientious people that one dreams of encountering. From that first day we've moved on to residing the house, completely remodeling the main bathroom, window replacement, AC installation, and a host of other things. This means we are together more often than many families are--obviously employing good, decent people makes a huge difference. They are superlative builders, equipped to handle any project that can be done in or around a house. So far I’ve needed carpentry, siding, plumbing, wiring, and more. Their work is painstaking and of the highest quality. They are also exceedingly patient with a meticulous customer who nevertheless frequently has no idea how to implement--or sometimes, even articulate--what she's thinking of (me). And one who has trouble making choices. I dithered over siding color for days--make that weeks--while they patiently brought out large samples of various colors and tacked them on the house so I could see them in situ. Remodeling is an unending series of such choices, so if they were ever to lose patience, I'd know by now. I could go on and on but this is already too long. Just one more thing: My two dogs can’t wait for DNA to get here each day. One of them is a very active two-year-old terrier mix, and when the weather finally improved this spring, I had Derek and Alex take a break from the home work to patch up a corral fence down at the barn, so I could train and play with my young pup off leash. They did so in a trice (and installed a new gate, and better latches for the barn doors; and mowed the weeds in the corral and then the field path), then Derek thought that Junie, the pup, might like a toybox down there. I thought that was the cutest idea I've ever heard! So he built an open-topped wooden box, affixed to the side of the barn at Junie-height, which has been a resounding success. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough."

"Vander Hyde did a great job.  Our water is very rusty, so it makes plumbing very difficult because the pipes are always rusted.  It was difficult to disassemble the fixture, but they had the right tools and they were able to get the worn parts out.  In the process, however, the handle to the fixture was broken.  The plumbers put the fixture back together, cleaned up and promised to be back with a new handle at the end of the day - which they did."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.
