"It was a big build. Coordination of trades was important. Their work to navigate permits with multiple government agencies kept the project on track and on budget. . It's drawn a lot of neighborhood attention. One of the goals was to make this large shop fit into the neighborhood. Job well done."

"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."
"As can happen, the project started out slow. Ryan was a little late the first day. But we discussed it, and he made up for it by getting right to work. He had a couple of guys with him, and they all worked very hard taking out the old deck, and getting ready to put the new one in it's place. During the project, we had a couple of hiccups (which I was quick to point out...lol). However, Ryan took care of them right away. And, as anyone who has ever done home repairs can tell you, sometimes unexpected things come up. Ryan went out of his way to take care of them as well. As for the new deck, I had a very detailed design that I wanted executed, and Ryan and his guys did a great job making my vision a reality. Bottom line, I am so pleased that I will keep him in mind for any other jobs that I may decide to do in the future."
"We were so pleased with the professionalism, the quality craftsmanship & the end results of the deck. Beautiful addition to our home. This company is flexible, works well with the homeowners. Thanks Jake & Crew"
"Rob and his brother worked on our bathroom until its completion and were a welcome presence in our home. Rob is very ethical, and honest, he willingly and patiently returned damaged products, fixed a faulty faucet, and overall did a beautiful job with the bathroom. His expertise was very clear as he was able to fix flaws and misfits so that the finished bathroom looks very sharp. Rob kept us informed as to his plans and when things would be completed. Rob also was very cost conscious, allowed us to do the painting to keep costs down, and his estimate and final cost was far below other estimates we received. We are planning on having Rob come back soon and tackle our kitchen!"
"Very professional, respectful, and friendly. Costs were competitive and better than most estimates I had received. Everything went extremely well. I am also planning to have them replace counters and cupboards, paint walls, revise laundry space, and replace the deck. I would recommend them for any improvements or building services."
"Very well. This was a big job. Rick was the only contractor we spoke to that could both suitably restore metal surfaces prior to painting them and also offer a warranty on his labor and materials. He even offered to re-stain a three-story wooden partition for us at no extra cost. The project took five weeks to complete (quite a bit longer than originally estimated, delayed due to unusually rainy weather), but Rick was in touch each day to let us know if the forecast allowed for work to be performed. Rick was a pleasure to interact with and seemed genuinely conscientious about his work. Patio structure looks great and we’re thrilled to have it restored for many years to come."
"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."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell.
Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.
Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.
The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job.
Your chicken coop needs to be off the ground to protect your chickens and avoid problems brought on by flooding, mud, and moisture. If you can't locate a high area to build the coop, you should build an elevated coop to ensure it stays dry.
