"It went really well. Finding a solid spot to attach grab bars through a fiberglass shower enclosure is tricky because of the gap between the fiberglass and the studs. Chris found a kit from Moen that made the installation look fantastic and super safe. I think he was unfamiliar with this kind of an installation before this project but he did his homework and we ended up with a really nice job. The installation looked very professional and Chris did a great job of clean up afterwards. I would definitely use him again."

I am a licensed contractor I do everything except plumbing and electrical work! I have been doing this kind of work my whole life but have been licensed and have had my own business for 1 year. I started my business to help others who cant afford what other contractors would charge.

"Terrible experience!! I am living in a house which is almost 15 years old so there are certain issues that arise on my roof like shingles started buckling, the roof was sagging, flashing problems and some leakage issues. After acknowledging the positive reviews on yelp, I called Jason for the price estimate which I have to incur. The prices he had quoted were more than fair. He had sent their workmen at the scheduled time. The entire working procedure was very smooth. I felt lucky that I had made a decision to hire this company."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

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.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.
