"The job was extensive. The old roof needed to be removed. There were areas of dry rot in the soffit as well as on the chimney surround. Northern Lights worked fast and was very thorough. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the workers. They showed up as expected, worked timely and efficiently and left our property in a high-quality manner. It was very clear to us that they took great pride in their work."
"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). "
"Jody quickly contacted me and asked for photos of the roof. He was so awesome he offered to use shingles he had in stock for free. He also noticed shingles on our garage had been ripped of also. He repaired those too!! EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! Jody didn't try to nickel and dime me for every little repair. Jody also performed a roof inspection and made recommendations to ensure the home's is properly maintained."

"I recently hired Vander Hyde Electric to complete work at my home. Jason did a great job completing a plethora of electrical related tasks. He changed out a lot of light fixtures with ease and timeliness. He answered all my questions...and I had A LOT. I appreciate that he was truthful and upfront about the work he was completing including letting me know how easy or difficult the work would be. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and will do so in the future. "

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.
It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.
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.
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.
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.
