"I believe that integrity is paramount when hiring someone to have professional work done in my home. I would recommend Gerald to anyone I know because his work ethic is impeccable. From start to finish he is professional, kind, and concerned about providing excellent customer service. He came to my mom’s house to perform an electrical service and instead of doing the bare minimum, he spent over two ours doing everything he could to resolve the problem. When it was determined that installing the fixture would be hazardous, he was apologetic and did not charge a fee for all the time he spent troubleshooting the problem. Please do yourself a favor and hire Johnson and Associates for your electrical needs. You will not be disappointed. If I could give them ten stars I would."

"He arrived when he said he would and had all the tools needed to do it. I have a 2 story home and wasnt able to get to all the gutters to clean them and they were really dirty. Also my back downspout had gotten bent and he was able to unbend it for maximum water flow. Great job, would hire again"

"EXCELLENT!  I couldn't have asked for a better team in Mike and Steve.  They were top notch professionals and the quality of their work is flawless. I am so glad to have discovered them and will definitely hire them again for any future work.  I have been referring them like crazy to anyone mentioning a home repair/remodel job.  These guys have been working together for 20+ and have a great camaraderie with one another.  They were fair and offered smart solutions and I felt extremely comfortable giving them my key so they could come and go while I remained at work.  No issues.  I highly recommend them.  You go through Craftsman project manager to get to them and the responsiveness was a little slow, but not too bad considering they were super busy.  Love working with this group.

"Great job! I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an honest, reputable company. All costs were reviewed beforehand. Timeline was updated throughout so no surprises. It was initially delayed due to the job before us being more extensive than originally thought but that was communicated clearly. Roof looks amazing!"

"I highly recommend C&D Custom Log Finishing for any repairs you should need for log home repairs-inside or outside. Our home is not your traditional manufactured log home. It was built in 1980 with 250 year old hand hewed logs. I have used C&D Custom Log Finishing for over 10 years now for anything and everything I need. Some logs have had to be replaced in that period of time and Clarence has someone that personally hand hewed the replacement logs and they look just like the original logs. He keeps you informed during the entire process and is always available for whatever comes up. Also, we have developed a great friendship through the years. So if you’re looking for someone for log home repairs do yourself a favor and call Clarence and his crew. You will not be disappointed!!!"

"After looking for someone to repair a porch that was collapsing on a rental property, I found DLB Construction. Dwayne was incredibly easy to work with, gave us a quote that was fair and did work in a timely manner. I live out of state from where the property is, but Dwayne made it easy to manage the project. Once we agreed on a price, he and his team were out at the house and repaired the porch in a timely manner, making it look brand new in the process. Would work with them again, without hesitation."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

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

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.

While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell.

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.
