"JLC (Jose) did a super job on everything we hired him to do. We initially had him remodel our kitchen and it came out so well, we had him come back and remodel our main bathroom. He did a fantastic job and was focused on every detail. Since we were planning on selling the house, we even hired him to paint the exterior and do some additional interior jobs like fixing some wiring and painting several rooms. Whether it is a small or large job, he is great to work with and generally a wonderful person. Had we not sold the house (Thanks, Jose!) and moved, we wouldn't hesitate to hire him again."

"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 did a great job. He did 3 bathrooms at 2 different houses for us, all turned out great. He also installed a fence around a large backyard at one of those houses which turned out fantastic. In addition, he worked on many projects at the houses because we were getting one ready to sell and the other ready to move into. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with."

"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

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

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. 

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.

Your foundation contractor will first need to remove the topsoil and any vegetation within 4 feet of the area around the barn. They’ll need to ensure they have clear access to the site to begin excavation, after which they can begin construction.
