"Sherwin, Derek,and 'Jesus are not only very good guys, they are great professionals. They installed a new picture window, lower siding, and three new window frames. And replaced lower trim around the outside fireplace frame. They are neat, organized, and couldn't have done a better job. Exceptional work. Thank you."

"When Ray phoned, he was in my area and said he stop by within the next hour which he did. He was courteous and able to assess the problem immediately. He estimated the cost which was very reasonable and actually fixed the problems before he left. I will absolutely recommend him to my friends and neighbors. He fixed the problems at a fair price."

"Building our custom home with this incredible husband-and-wife team was truly the best experience we could have asked for. As the general contractor, he kept the entire build moving quickly and efficiently, yet the quality of the work was flawless—every detail was done with precision. As the designer, she brought creativity, clarity, and so much heart to every decision, helping us see possibilities we never would have imagined on our own. Their communication was fast, clear, and consistent, and it always felt like they wanted us to have our dream home just as much as we did. They were genuinely kind throughout the process and made us feel supported at every step. They also worked closely with us to stay within our budget without sacrificing style or quality. From start to finish, they walked alongside us, going above and beyond in ways that truly set them apart. We are grateful for their dedication, their teamwork, and the beautiful home they helped us create."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. 

While building a treehouse isn’t necessarily a death sentence, damaging the trunk is one of the ways to kill a tree. If you’re concerned about the tree, opt for a treehouse support system rather than attaching it directly to the trunk. This may involve using bolts and brackets to affix the structure to the tree's branches or establishing a standalone support system that remains unattached to the tree.

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.
