"We hired Charles to add a roof to the side of our existing garage, it was a metal roof and he used sheeting to make it stronger, he also used plywood to strengthen our existing fence. He was very concerned that it would be strong enough for Montana winters. Charles is very polite and professional. His work was top quality and very reasonably priced. He was fast, efficient, knowledge and punctual. He was a pleasure to work with. We have already recommended him to others. You won't be disappointed if you hire him."

"These guys are the best of the best at what they do! We are building a house and shop, and hired a different contractor to build both. We’ll as things progressed things with the house we’re not getting done on time and all time lines to begin working on the shop Kelly being pushed off! We’ll I started getting irritated as I wanted the shop up before the snow flies. The final lie was told by contractor building house so I contacted Stag Construction and showed them the plans and the price I was quoted ( which was another nail in the coffin. Prior contractor quoted over $300,000.00 to build a 40x80 shop! I mean come on it’s not a house! ) Austin looked at it and said I can save you a lot of money this is ridiculous. I said great when can you start ? He said tomorrow , but we do have a few houses to finish also so we will be back and forth. Boy I tell ya Austin and his crew brought they’re A game every day and even worked weekends! They built my shop with such perfection and so timely at a fair price!!! I have been enjoying a fire in my wood stove they installed as well, daily. Get this the f……… house still isn’t done but my shop is.. You can’t go wrong with these guys! Honest, dependable, and fair! They will be the only call from now on for any of our construction needs!!! Thanks for a job well done Stag Construction!!!!!!!"

"Joe was professional, impressive, and efficient with getting my dead pine tree cut down behind my house in twin falls Idaho, before it could potentially cause major damage to my workshop garage that it was leaning towards. He was able to get into a tight area that would have been very tricky with big equipment. Luckily his tree climbing gear and skills got it knocked out that same afternoon. He was careful to make sure and gauge cuts right and anchoring of ropes so all tree limbs could be safely lowered to the ground without damaging/hitting anything on the way. And this was a pretty big and tall old pine, likely well over 50 years old and complicated multiple chutes from the top etc that made the job challenging to be safe. Joe is an excellent option when you want to support the little guy instead of big business. He's also personable and not pushy about his recommendations on work needing done. Worth every penny. Reasonable rates, dependable and I'll be recommending him to anyone in the future for all of their tree trimming needs in the magic valley Idaho and beyond."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
