"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."

"The toilet needed to be replaced. I was told that I would only get the builder standard grade toilet even though I was signed up with the highest plan. The plumber was replaced my toilet with something that was definitely builder grade and not even close to what I had. I called CHOICE and they told me that it should have been replaced with something comparable to what I had. Twice they told me they were going to have my claim looked at and I have not received a call about it or any new information. The new toilet is wrong in size and specs and doesn't fit well where it is in the bathroom."

"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

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

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. 

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 difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

Skid foundations, deck block foundations, and concrete block foundations are the most affordable shed foundation options. Of these, we recommend deck blocks. Deck blocks are easy to install and level, and they raise your shed up off the ground to prevent rotting from exposure to water and moisture. Keep in mind that deck blocks won’t resist soil movement or frost heave, so they’re not ideal in areas with expansive soil or a deep frost line.
