"We had Mark remodel our second bathroom a few months ago. The remodel turned out exactly as we planned, Mark did an excellent job giving us a really beautiful space. He finished slightly ahead of schedule and he left the project neat and clean at the end of each day. We have an upcoming project we want Mark to do for us in 2027!"

"Chad and Scott did a fantastic job, from concept to completion of our project. We needed an interior wall, framing, door, drywall, texture, & painting, & all the details to enclose our kitchen from our entry. They understood our concept, and had the work done from start to finish in 2 weeks. Meticulous, detail-oriented, polite, & fun to have them here in our home are how we would describe our relationship with Chad & Scott. They even let us keep adding other small projects along with the wall construction, always being cheerful & accommodating. We would definitely recommend them to our friends & neighbors for any projects! Susan & Larry"

"This group of workers are family and work together. They are very efficient, on time and do really high quality work. They built a barn for me and did it in a very short period of time with excellent outcomes. Everything was square and fit together perfectly. I was very impressed and happy that I had them do the job for me."

"VERY Very well, Chayse from Lundgren-Homes did a great great job and he stayed and came back with appropriate tool that was odd and he purchased himself to get the exercise massage chair done, let me explain. IT WAS A 3K chair that needed putting together with wires and lectrical conduit and connectors as well as placing in metal holders to hole the very very heavy chair itself. At one point it took both of us to balance this heavy back that the chairl itself was well over 250#'s itself. T-tack didn't help nor did assembly for IKEA Furn folks could do or attempt. CHAYSE was the ONLY ONE that went the extra mile to figure out the Japanese Instructions that NO ONE could of done by themselves. Even You Tube videos didn't pull this one off. THANK YOU MISTER LUNDGREN of Lundgren Homes for your son to come out and help our Family in a tight placed Studio Condo! NOT EASY TASK! Plus two dogs to boot! Thanks Angie's List for having Chayse on here!!! He saved the day and my Spouse was going to send it BACK TO COST Co for a Refund! We would of had to pay freight shipping chrgs."

A functional sink was installed that did not come out into the doorway. A custom cabinet needed to be built for the plumbing.

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.

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.

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

Your foundation contractor will first need to remove the topsoil and any vegetation within 4 feet of the area around the barn. They’ll need to ensure they have clear access to the site to begin excavation, after which they can begin construction.

Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.
