"Tim Horsman is a pro, plain and simple. He was very quick to respond, easy to discuss the scope of the job with, flexible when I changed the requirements on him, fair and open with the way that he prices his work, and he followed through on everything to make sure that I was happy with the outcome. Tim showed up on time, used a drop cloth everywhere that he worked, and his pride in his workmanship is obvious. I would not hesitate to invite Tim into my home again and I recommend him without qualification."

"Boyd Building had done some work for us in the past so when we needed a major deck and porch rebuild and finish, we knew Shawn would be the only one to call. Shawn always goes above and beyond in planning and executing our projects. He once told me that he puts the same amount of quality and care into the work he does on a customer's home as he would on his own home and I truly believe him. His work is detailed and meticulous. The job he did remodeling our outside space is top quality. There is not one thing we had to question. We love everything! Beyond that he is reliable, honest, trustworthy, hardworking and a really nice guy. We can't possibly recommend Boyd Building any higher! 5 stars don't seem like enough!"

"Nice family business. Had some trouble with some employees getting started but Costas and his dad always took over and made sure everything was great. They did most of the work themselves which was important to me that someone was always on site. My schedule is crazy. Iâ m often not home and I trusted them to be here and get the job done without my oversight. We ran into some challenges, even added a few more jobs to the project. He took in stride, eager for the work and honest and upfront about what he could do what needed to be done? I enjoyed working with him, so Iâ m giving him another project"

"We wanted to build on top of an existing garage, but extend out beyond the original building so as to accommodate two large rooms (a bedroom and a playroom), a bathroom and a balcony above and an outdoor dining-room below.. Turn Key Construction did an amazing job as you can see in the photographs. The entire team were courteous and friendly, and patient of the many changes I made as the build was progressing. They made the process enjoyable, and I really don't believe the work they did could be improved upon. We could not be happier with the results."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.
