"i can't say enough about Justin, he was respectful, efficient answered all our questions and helped us through the entire project to get the look we where envisioning- He removed old insulation and ceiling tiles in kitchen Replaced with new insulation and drywall, install canless recessed lighting, fixed lazy Susan, tightened up threshold on main entrance door, installed pine trim molding around windows, seal cellar entrance from outside- we have counter tops and sink on order and will install when they come in- Special shout out to one of his worker's- who customized a eye sore in our old kitchen and created a beautiful pine food pantry- from it- I would recommend him - he's there every day and works hard with his crew to get things done . He was very respectful of my elderly mother and hung plastic barrier up also to help cut back on the dust through the house. which was very much appreciated. He has also helped us move, and snow plows for us - we have been very pleased and his prices are reasonable"

"BJ built a beautiful, durable deck. Him and his crew were very professional and the communication was top notch. This was definitely a tricky project as some of the other contractors that came to give quotes did not even know where to begin or just did not want to attempt the project all together. I made some changes to my end goal during construction and BJ was extremely accommodating and understanding. Will definitely be hiring him again."

"I can’t say enough great things about Nystrom. They built me an absolutely beautiful screened porch. Their workmanship is amazing and they are perfectionists. They are wonderful to work with and definitely went the extra mile several times to ensure everything was exactly what I wanted. They are now “my guys” for whatever project I need done next."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

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.

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. 

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.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
