"Thanks to his expertise in carpentry, masonry, plumbing, and installation, Joe Rossi corrected a botched kitchen installation of another contractor. He also installed a new tile bathroom - shower - vanity - toilet, making the most of a small space. He also intalled a new water heater and washer/dryer unit, as well a wall-mounted heater/AC. In another house adjacent, Joe Rossi removed a crumbling stone porch and replaced it with a new stone porch/ steps, with a sturdy metal railing around, getting my property more curb cred. For each project, Joe Rossi gave his full attention to all details in a timely and professional manner. He kept me updated about each project and explained what needed to be done and how."
"The project went really well. The builder communicated clearly at each step of the way and was open to substitutions. We opted for a different brand of decking besides what they usually use and our requests were nicely accommodated. The workers came when they said they would and completed the project on-time and left our property as they found it. The porch and deck look awesome! I would highly recommend this builder for decking projects. We are very satisfied."
"Met me a week before, gave me an estimate 3 days later. Was several hundred less than other estimates. He was the only one that explained the process along with the estimate showing different materials. He also explained the different materials and how long they would last along with treatment. Showed up every morning it wasn't raining and told me hours and times he would be there. Had a nice young man that helped who was also very courteous and pleasant. Deck was completed a week before deadline and I absolutely love it. Will hire for any other jobs I need without question."
"Daniel did an incredible job building a custom shelving unit plus helping on some painting both indoor and outdoor. He is precise and works efficiently. Would recommend to anyone looking for home repairs or custom built work."
"High Tech recently re-brownstoned the co-op that I live in on 83rd Street and did an amazing job. The price that we got from High Tech was about half of what we were quoted from the next lowest bidder, but the work ended up being so beautiful that people walking by our building are stopping to take photos. High Tech reconstructed all of the old brownstone details that had been worn off and totally lost over the years. These guys were artisans and asked me for very old photos of the building, which they used to re-create the designs of the building details. It took a bit longer than I expected but It turned out so great!!! I never expected that they could bring our building back to it's former glory, especially given the reasonable price. Come walk by and take a look. A couple of years ago High Tech had done our stairs, which also came out beautiful. They got the detail right on that too. The brownstone stairs look so nice, they have rounded edges like the most expensive brownstones have. But again High Tech's price was the most reasonable of the bidders. The have also done some other smaller jobs for us such as re-pointing and again I was very satisfied with both the quality of the work and with the price. Oh, I almost forgot. The electric company did some work on our block and chipped tiny bits off of the new stairs and High Tech came and repaired it at no cost. I was very impressed with that since it totally above and beyond. "
"Since 2013, my wife and I have relied on Chuck and Shawn (Centerline) for all manner of projects at our historic home. Chuck and his crew are great, and Chuck does awesome work. He is a master in construction, a master tradesman â and a great diagnostician giving us insight into many house-related problems. Centerline made structural repairs to our 2-car garage and installed a new roof to match the house, repaired custom wooden gutters damaged by snow and ice (saving us thousands), and transformed our 1,000-foot stone patio where the stone floor had buckled and was draining water towards the house. (Chuck told us the wrong setting material, yellow sand, had been used initially.) He excavated the area and re-set the large stones in new stone dust, the patio now drains rain away from the house and has become our favorite place! Inside, Chuck installed new tile on our backsplash and replaced tired laminate counters with Corian on our cherry cabinets. The kitchen is now fresh and new, yet still appropriate for our historic home. Chuck's knowledge and workmanship are impressive. Centerline's customer-service is excellent."
"My wife and I were happy to find M. Pottenburgh Construction through HomeAdvisor. Matt responded quickly with a site visit, estimate, and scheduling the job to fix ice dam damage on our roof. Matt and his crew were polite, efficient, and very hard workers. I will have no hesitation recommending Matt to others and hiring him for other work."

Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.
The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.
In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.
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.
