"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."

"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."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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. 

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

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.

Due to the expansion of the tiny house movement, you can usually find tiny houses to buy in your state. Prices range considerably based on size, style, and type. If you’re looking for a tiny home that’s move-in ready, you may be able to find a good deal to buy or a prefab dealer near you.
