"Professional and courteous from start to finish Met all expectations delivering quality work. I would recommend this builder and will use them again in the future. The only issue we had, and a minor one, was getting a full crew over during a couple of Holliday weeks however he regained momentum quickly and though it was stressful at the time it had no impact in the end. Communicating is good and he touched base with me often without me having to chase him down. I guessing we recognized early on I needed that."

"This is our third major experience with Charles Wyles and his son, Joel. My wife and I cannot praise them too highly. We have had problems with follow through using local contractors in this rural part of Montana. Charles and Joel always showed up on time and ready to work hard and finish the job on time. They are highly skilled at every aspect of remodeling. We gave them a major challenge in nearly rebuilding and, certainly, saving a 75 year-old log cabin. They did everything from rebuilding the damaged central beam that was holding the roof up to re-roofing most of the cabin. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we asked them to return to finish the foundation after the prior contractor abandoned us for more lucrative projects. The third project was the largest and most challenging. They built us custom kitchen cabinets exactly as my wife designed them with additional improvements they suggested. They finished the kitchen by tiling the countertops and backsplashes and installing a new sink. All of The work was absolutely top notch with excellent communication along the way. The project also included installing new floors in four rooms and setting a new toilet. No subcontractors involved because these two gentlemen can do it all. All of our project came in on budget with the estimates we initially agreed upon. I wish I could submit before and after photos. Speaking of gentlemen- Charles and Joel are originally from Arkansas. They are true southern gentlemen- polite, respectful and conscientious. On two of the projects, they stayed in the cabin because their home in Stevensville, Montana is an hour and a half away from our home. They had dinner with us each night and we eventually had most of their large family come up to visit. They almost feel like family now. By the way, they left the cabin immaculate and even picked up debris from the former foundation contractor. In addition to this, they are licensed, insured and bonded. You don’t always find this in rural Montana. It adds extra peace of mind."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.
