"John is a very conscientious contractor and easy to work with! He is great at follow up and always keeps us up to date with where the job is at. John offered us a number of different options to fit our budget. He takes what his does very seriously and you can see that in the quality of his work. Another thing I loved about John is that the job site was always left cleanedb I would strongly recommend Cowboy Construction!"

"Working alongside Mesa Verde on this new construction project was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail throughout every phase of the build. As the main builder, Mesa Verde maintained strong communication, stayed organized, and consistently delivered high-quality work while keeping the project moving efficiently and on schedule. From Durabuild’s perspective as project manager, the collaboration was seamless. Mesa Verde’s leadership team was proactive, solution-oriented, and highly responsive whenever coordination or adjustments were needed. Their commitment to quality and teamwork made a significant impact on the success of the project and created a positive working environment for everyone involved. We truly value the partnership and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with Mesa Verde again. They are a dependable and highly capable builder that we would confidently"

"The crew that worked on this remodel, led by Alejandro, were prompt in arriving, patient with our questions, and very responsive to our requests. They were very skilled and thorough, and completely changed our home for the better. I highly recommend this company, since it provides full services, such that plumbing and electrical are available from within the organization, as opposed to waiting for subcontractors to respond."

"This is Donna Robinson. Below is my review for L Martinez Construction LLC (Lionel Martinez) L Martinez Construction LLC has completed three building projects for us. The first project was a remodel of an existing home. This project included the demolition of our existing front entry, the addition of a large front porch, decorative rock work on the exterior walls and the bricking of the exterior porch. The entire existing home was reroofed with industrial grade shingles as well. We were very happy with the quality of Lionel s finished work. We had bid this project out to 3 other highly recommended contractors and although Lionel was not the lowest bidder, we had the most confidence in his proposal because he included the most detail on his bid and had a firm grasp on the time frame for completion of the project. His proposal showed me how organized Lionel is and how much of a stickler for detail he is. For me, both are very important character traits when hiring and working with someone. As we progressed through the project we learned just how knowledgeable, experienced and resourceful Lionel is. It was also clear he is very selective on subcontractors he hires, expects exceptional work out of them, and actively monitors their work. Finally, at the close of the project we could see that not only does he accept only high-quality work from himself but he is on top of every detail on costs of his projects. He presented us with a detailed report and walked my husband through every line item. Lionel is an honest businessman as well. We were very happy with our whole experience with the first project, so when we decided we wanted a heated driveway installed (2nd project) we went straight to Lionel. He helped us choose and plan for an electric heated driveway system. He prepared a bid detailing all costs including demolition of the existing driveway. Lionel did an excellent job installing our heated driveway, monitoring the electric installation and personally executing the concrete pour from start to finish. Next, we decided we wanted to build a cabin in the remote northern NM mountains (3rd project). Of course, knowing this would be a particularly challenging project, I asked Lionel if he would work with us one more time. He worked with us on every detail of this project. Lionel worked with our home designer on planning and details and navigated the complex permitting process. Next, he prepared the site by moving the electrical lines underground on our property, working with electricians to physically prepare the trenches and conduits to move these electrical lines underground and finally built the cabin. This was a huge undertaking, given the remote location and challenging building conditions. The result was A++. We simply could not be happier with the outcome of the projects Lionel completed for us and more grateful to Lionel and for Lionel. My view is: If you are fortunate enough to have Lionel work on a project for you, you will be very happy with the results and with the whole experience. I have every confidence recommending him as your contractor/project leader. Donna Robinson"

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Desert Sun built a free-standing 1000 square-foot studio for me. Paul was great to work with, always clear about what might lead to cost overruns, and he kept the job on schedule. He had worked often with my architect, which helped everything stay on track."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.

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.
