"Lake Michigan Painting and Remodeling helped us with our full home remodel (interior and exterior and basement). It was a breeze working with them, they were very fast, reasonable, and easy to work with. From moving from out of town, it was so nice to trust a company that made me home renovation one less thing to worry about. I will call them when we move again in several years time."
"I love it! Framing and hanging sliding doors that separated kitchen from living room. This is a project that I have wanted to do for a long time and finally got it completed. I own a manufactured home (or as it is called now a mobile home). These homes usually have unique openings and require customized or special orders. John was extremely helpful and brought my vision of what I wanted into reality. He also provided some suggestions which proved to be extremely beneficial. He was quick and efficient with his work. John framed the space from floor to ceiling. John did framing, molding and trim, dry wall (in the space above the doors on both sides), sanded and painted. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend this service."
"JLM's work was high quality and performed efficiently. I'm adamant about neatness, and this team exceeded my expectations. The bathrooms--two were done--look beautiful and function reliably."
"Fabulous experience! Matt is an excellent artist and communicator. He responds so quickly and with HUGE and friendly knowledge! I'm thrilled with his talent and immediate attention to my front door custom railing project! It's now beautifully installed and couldn't be more perfect! MANY MANY THANKS MATT! :) :) :) Marilyn K./Applegate/Kalamazoo, Mi."

"Excellent workmanship and was very accommodating to our needs. The construction turned out better than expectations. I am hiring him to do more work for me in the early spring."
"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.
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.
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.
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.
The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.
