"Excellent! Emile and his crews were complete professionals in all aspects of the project and relationship. We communicated frequently and stayed on schedule. His men arrived on time and were respectful, organized and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Their workmanship is beautiful. Emile kept me up-to-date daily on progress and had great suggestions. He managed my expectations from our first conversation and throughout the project. Overall I had a great experience and would not hesitate using him again."

"They are not local to my area. Please, hire local. And this is for Angi: Try not to recommend contractors who are a significant distance away, in this case around 80 miles (and 2 states) away. Great website, appears to be professionally designed and maintained, I like what they do (judging from the content in the website) but I am outside their service area. I don't live in that area. If I owned a home or apartment in that area, I would hire them."

"We contracted with VW Home Improvement to do our bathroom renovation. It was a complete tear down/rebuild and we couldn’t be happier that we chose VW, as the job they did was beyond our expectations. After meeting Vinny and talking to him about the process, we felt his calm, low-key approach to the project, along with his experience was exactly what we needed. We’re aware that no construction process is ever perfect, but this was as close to perfection as it gets. Sure, we had a delay one day, but Vinny made sure that time was made up and the project proceeded pretty much on schedule. As far as the quality of the work is concerned, that, too, was exceptional, and the communication between Vinny, his crew and us was beyond excellent. We never had to wait for a return call or text, and Vinny always called us with updates and information. I won’t hesitate to contract VW for any future projects and would recommend them to anyone."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

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.

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. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.
