"I owned a small chalet style family cabin with one loft bedroom, no running water and an outhouse. I met with Lance Christenson, president of Woods and Waters Builders and Remodeling, presenting him with a rough sketch of my idea to add on to my exsisting cabin. My addition was over twice the size of the exsisting cabin including a new kitchen, great room with lots of windows overlooking the lake, bedroom and bathroom while keeping half the the exsisting cabin in tack and expanding the upper loft bedroom. Mr. Christenson took my sketch and pleasently improved the plans with his vast experience in style and contruction. He was able to use my stained glass in the design and to my surprise his wife refinished my antique stained glass front door. My excitement mounted as I saw the vision for my new cabin become a reality, with a beautiful designed stairway and railing to the loft with a stained glass insert. I could not be more pleased and excited about my new cabin. My sincere thanks to Lance Christenson and his very professional crew for your quality workmanship.. My expectations were beyond what I could have ever imagined."

"I had a very complex remodel project as my cabin was built in the 60 s. Tyler figured out how to repair/replace damaged foundation and floor. He is also excellent with finishing work such as flooring, trimming and ship lap walls. I Highly Recommend this Company!"

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property
