"Jim handled the project in a manner consistent with the condo association rules without anyone complaining about noise, debris cleanup, work hours or the myriad complaints that usually come along with any project performed in a condo association. Jim met the condo association rule to match our deck precisely with existing and surrounding decks that were built in the early 90s. In addition, the price paid for the work was reasonable and the quality of the work is, thus far, near perfect."

"Mr. Handyman was great and I would highly recommend them.  Everybody I dealt with at Mr. Handyman was very professional.  They arrived on the job when they said they would.  Completed the work as promised.  Did high quality work.  They made excellent recommendations.  Keith, the handyman that worked my job, was just great to work with and he really knew what he was doing.Thanks Mr. Handyman for making a lot of tough work look easy.

"Excellent. Harry was very punctual, very well skilled, able to assess what was needed and execute. In the case of the stairs the person who installed them had different sized supports, he was able to custom cut wood onsite to match. For future needs, we would definitely consider employing his services again."

"Imagine you are in the middle of painting your house and the painter refuses to repair the chimney because it was so bad. I fortunately contacted Specialty. I was given 3 weeks to review by other companies but Nosh not only came that evening, he left to look to match 50+year old bricks AND he was by my house at 7:30 the following morning AND tore down and replaced my entire chimney in less than 48 hours and did a skillful masterful job, (we are not related, I am just super happy to have contracted Specialty"

, Rob and Zack did an excellent job.  They were patient, easy to work with, and pleasant to have around.  We felt as if Rob really listened to and respected our wishes.  When they said they would be at our home at a certain time they were here.  Things were left neat and cleaned up.  We are hiring them again to do some work in our kitchen.

I'd also like to comment for a friend who is not a member of Angie's list.  After surgery her husband wasn't able to walk.  He'd been placed in a nursing home.  Their home was not handicap equipped.  He couldn't even get into the bathroom.  I gave her Rob's phone number.  He and Zack made time in their busy schedule to help, so that our friend could return home.  The work was excellent and their kindness greatly appreciated.

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.

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.
