More than just a company name- Paul and his crew did truly exquisite work, at a very reasonable price. Couldn’t be more satisfied. Paul was a pleasure to work with – very professional and responsive. Despite being extremely busy he routinely answered the phone and returned calls quickly. Paul is highly skilled at ceiling/drywall repair and Josh is an excellent painter. They clearly take pride in their work and won’t accept anything less than their customers’ complete satisfaction. While doing the repairs Paul noticed additional areas that needed work and did them at no extra charge. Even though I said I was completely satisfied when asked, I later noticed a small area of textured ceiling that could use another coat of paint to better match. I called them back and they were out again in a few days to do it. Paul is the kind of contractor you hope for but never actually expect to find! I would trust them with any project. Thank you Paul and Josh!
"Absolutely one of the best experiences we've had with contractors. The quality of workmanship is beyond what was expected, and I was expecting a great job! Instead we got a fantastic job! Ray is thoughtful, kind, fair and flexible. We will definitely be calling Ray again next year to do some inside painting for us! Thank you Ray and all of the workers who helped our "perfect home" come true!"
"Excellent job!! The owner ( Nick), design specialist (Neil), and project manager (Dave) were very helpful with design and material selection for the jobs. They took care of everything. All of the workers were on time, respectful of our home, and courteous. Andrew and Jim are meticulous in their work and true craftsmen! I will not hesitate to have them in my home again for any other job we may have."

"Andreas repaired some holes that were in my walls that needed patched, the work was perfect and patched up so well i can not even see where the holes were. He also painted multiple walls at my last home and current home and each time he suggested the color pallets that I myself would never have thought to use or put together to work with using 3 different colors each time with one color being a very dark accent wall, the colors flow amazingly. I would highly recommend him for interior painting, not only is his suggestions with colors on point his cut work around frames and ceilings is the best I have ever seen !! I also had him replace my hot water heater that died and was done quickly"
"We started a kitchen remodel two years ago. Long story short, the initial contractor did an awful job and I was turned down by two new contractors because they didn't want to deal with all of the leftover mess (things not done to code, not done correctly, inspector issues and so on). But, from the moment I met Dave I was impressed with how he handled the situation. Things started to go as planned and we hit another bump in the road. This time, it was us and we needed to pay cash for a big chunk of the job so we needed time to save money in between each step. Dave was very understanding and gave us the time we needed and we proceeded step by step over the next year or so. We are now finally finishing the job and I am very happy with our service. Phil, the designer on our job, has been a life saver. He has helped me with everything and has even provided moral support when I needed it. He knew when to help me see his point and when to see mine. He has been a blessing. In addition, the project manager, Ric, has been amazing. Not only does he do quality work, but he has been excited for us knowing what we have gone through. His work is excellent and he is clean and careful and extremely thoughtful while in our home. He has been an absolute delight to work with. I respect these men very much. There have been a few workers I have not been happy with (on some other small jobs that arose over the last year or so), but most things were handled and worked out. "
"If we could give Matt and his father, Tom, 10 stars out of 5, we would. Building a home in a remote area is always a challenge. But, doing it in the midst of the worst worldwide pandemic in over 100 years is a whole new ballgame! Despite these hurdles and challenges, Matt worked with us to make our dream home a reality. Service after the sale by Matt and Tom was also top notch! Highly recommended."
"It was excellent. The work was superb. I couldn't have asked for a better job. They had to build a ramp unto the deck because I have a wheelchair. It was a tricky work and they did a great job. They thought of things that I didn't think of. They did a good job with the finer details. They did a good job with the landscaping too."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
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.
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.
American badgers sleep in the burrows they dig, which can be extensive, featuring multiple chambers and tunnels. Badgers prefer to excavate their dens in open grasslands, prairies, and fields where the soil is easy to dig. They are solitary animals and usually have several burrows within their territory to use as needed. These underground homes provide them with a safe and secure place to rest during the day and to raise their young.
