"Scott has very high standards of quality, his work and attention to detail is exceptional. If there is a choice during the project to do something the cheap way or the right way, he chooses the right way every time. Scott is very knowledgeable about construction (Iâ m not kidding, he seems to know everything!) and will make sure your project is done properly and beautifully. He is able to explain what is happening and needs to happen with the project. He thought of details I didnâ t and asked the necessary questions to be sure I got what I wanted in a cost effective, high quality manner. He also makes appropriate decisions on his own that are in line with what youâ re wanting to have done. He will make suggestions on things that you may not think of that can make your project better. All this and he is personable and professional, he is very easy to work with. Scott replaced my front steps/deck with a beautiful new set. Once the old steps were taken apart, he realized the stringers and supporting beams were not in good condition and replaced them all. This wasnâ t part of the plan but he wanted our new steps to be safe and built right. I am so appreciative that he did this the right way: showing me the problem and discussed options to solve it, rather than just continuing on with the plan and using the old parts that werenâ t safe. And the new steps are gorgeous! A great feature on our home. Scott also replaced the siding on our 24x24 double car garage. He extended the eaves on the gable ends of the roof and then took off and replaced all the siding and trim. He was great at saving costs when possible but without cutting corners on quality. He really takes pride in his work and it shows. His work was a beautiful update to our garage. Overall Scott is a great person to work with, he has a great sense of humor while being professional, knowledgeable and kind. If you donâ t know anything about construction, he can help you in a respectful manner. If you do know something he can work with you to create what you are looking for. He will take care of details for the project (like scheduling dumpster delivery and removal), and he can be trusted on your property if you are not there. I felt that his labor cost is appropriate for his quality of work. His fees are similar to others in our area but his work and professionalism exceeds the rest so you may feel youâ re getting a bargain!"

"The quality of work was very good, and the workers were prompt and nice to work with. David Marshall is very easy to get ahold of and I think this is a real virtue compared to other handymen I have worked with in Duluth. They called around and found a spring to fix a very old window of ours that we have otherwise needed to replace. All of these were very positive aspects of the interaction.
My only negative comment is that one of the projects (the custom door) ended up being much more expensive than I anticipated. I think this was because one of the workers suggested something that we did not have in the quote, and I was just not prepared for the expense. I think that this is more of a communication issue than anything. I still highly recommend Marshall Handyman, but I would just be very careful to specify the price of anything if modifications are made during the repair process, especially if you are talking to an employee and not David Marshall. Otherwise, good work.

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.

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 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

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

While a romantic getaway in a vacation treehouse may sound appealing, building one to live in year-round comes with more challenges. However, a growing number of people are adopting this small-scale living approach to appreciate an off-the-grid, private lifestyle. It allows you to feel closer to nature in a sustainable, customizable, minimalist, and eco-friendly way.
