"Brandon was very personable and did great, quick work. He was the first contractor to call me after I submitted my project on Angi. I checked around for better quotes and couldn't find them. He made time to do the project VERY QUICKLY (2 days) and even offered to let me borrow his ladder. Overall, couldn't imagine a better experience with a contractor."

"We have had (and are currently doing more) several projects done with JLC Contracting over the past few years. Dozens of replacement windows, new doors, front facade replaced to stone, deck replacement, complete gut and remodel of our on suite bathroom. Not to mention so many small projects. I can’t properly express how THRILLED we are with all the work done. Jose (Owner) and crew are experts at the highest level. Absolutely incredible work done on every project! Also, Jose is one of the best people I have ever met in general. If you need home construction done at an exceptional level, fair price and overall great experience, I highly recommend JLC Contracting!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

Yes, barndominiums are designed to withstand strong weather and severe storms if they are built properly by trained professionals. Most barndominiums are made up of a steel structure that can protect a building from winds of up to 150 miles per hour and resist a variety of weather conditions without a major risk of structural damage to the exterior, foundation, or frame.

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
