"Very well. Ben did a wide variety of repairs, from installing curtain rods to fixing a hundred year old medicine cabinet. We are pleased with all his work. He cleaned up any mess and was very pleasant and professional. We will be calling on him again and recommending him to friends."

"We hired Olson Construction this summer for a major project, a replacement of three large decks and a screened-in porch on our home. It was obvious from the beginning that working with Nick Olson was the right way to go. We started with three quotes on this project. The first two quotes were done by salespeople for their company's construction crew (people whom we'd never see again), whereas Nick did the quote for his own company. The other bids were also crazy high, clearly a "big house, big bid" bloated price. Nick's bid was fair and just what we expected, and he updated us on cost changes along the way, which were minimal given the size of the job. Even during the busy summer season, as the owner, Nick was on site most days, and working alongside his crew, which was greatly appreciated, and showed a lot of pride and commitment to the job. Timeliness and communication were stellar; Nick and his crew were on time or updating us on changes in timeline along the way. Throughout the job, he checked in with us when anything arose that required a change in plan, instead of just forging ahead. He responded to any texts/calls/questions or concerns quickly and thoroughly. Communication is something that can make or break a relationship with a contractor, and Nick understands this better than any contractor I've worked with. Beyond our own questions, he even checked in on his own to ensure that we were happy with the project along the way. Nick's crew was courteous and respectful, and cleaned up the site at the end of the day. There was a minor paint spill, and Nick and the crew ensured that this was cleaned up well. Nick also ensured that details like replacement of the gutters after the job was done properly, and actually improved upon their flow and function. It was clear that Nick and the entire crew wanted us to be happy with the project, and took pride in their work. The outcome of the job was fantastic - we love our new decks, and look forward to enjoying them for years to come. We had an Azek deck with composite/aluminum railing installed, but whether it would be composite or wood deck, or any other job, Olson construction would be a great hire. As projects come up in the future, Olson construction will be our first call."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. 

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.

Technically, most states allow tiny homes, but it depends on the definition of tiny and whether the structure is permanent. Zoning laws regarding home size and construction are significant factors. For instance, a tiny home may be legal as a recreational vehicle in most areas, but you may only install it on a property if it complies with building and zoning codes.

It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.
