"I had Inex Home Builders clean and seal my outdoor deck in October. Ron and his crew did an excellent job and was easy to work with and addressed all my concerns. I wanted Ron to also do some exterior painting at that time but the outside temperature was prohibitive. Would hire them again."

"When we began the process of our bathroom renovation, we were very impressed with Sam right off the bat. He is a very genuine, knowledgeable, professional and honest person. Once we met him and discussed what we wanted to do, we knew we wanted Sam to handle our renovation. Sam showed up when he said he would and worked every day straight through until the project was finished. He didn't start and then disappear for days or weeks and then show up again. When we met with the inevitable "unexpected issues" that come up with any renovation, Sam always had at least a couple of ideas/options for us to consider relative to dealing with those issues. Sam always cleaned up any debris, etc., and left everything very neat and clean. We are beyond pleased with the results and would certainly use Sam again. We would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone needing any sort of home improvements or repairs. Thanks, Sam, you're awesome!"

"Glenn is the best – and as a 70 year old, I have a lot of experience with workers in my home. I had a good deal of water damage over 2 floors and multiple walls and ceilings. It required expertise and a variety of skills to repair and replace all the various aspects, and to make it seamless with the undamaged areas. He is an absolute magician, totally outclassing any previous similar work that I’ve had done and resulting in a totally seamless, as-new appearance. And, he is a no-drama professional – reliable, honest, and sincere. His pricing was also more than competitive. He is now my go to guy for EVERYTHING related to the home."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:

  • Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies

  • Setback: Distance between barn and property line

  • Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property

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.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.
