"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"

"The entire trim had to be removed and replaced.  While this sounds simple the workers had to install a roof jack type scaffold due to the angle of the roof.   The trim was removed, replaced, sealed and painted.  The workers were very thorough and cleaned up as if they were never there.

"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

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.

Building a treehouse can vary in difficulty depending on factors such as design complexity, size, and the builder’s woodworking experience. Basic treehouses with simple designs can be manageable for DIYers with some carpentry skills, while more elaborate structures may pose challenges. Adequate planning, research, and careful execution can make the process more manageable, and resources like premade plans or professional assistance are always available for additional support.

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.

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.

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.
