"He was excellent to deal with, very understanding, and willing to deal with my unique moisture issue and provide the bet service and product for my roof! I would definitely refer him for additional work to and of my friends and family and I will be having him back to start a new garage project."
"Mack Rubio does fantastic woodwork. He and Juri responded within minutes of my request for new porch stairs and railings, as well as replacement of rotted fascia and siding. His work is solid, fast, and precise. Excellent skill and craftsmanship. His estimates are affordable and his team are always punctual and professional. This is my first home purchase and it is a fixer-upper, so I will definitely be calling Mack again for assistance with all of our home improvement projects. I highly recommend HandyMack for all home repairs and renovations!"
"This is a great company. I called for an estimate for my project and of the four estimates, Romeo gave me the best price by far. On top of that, where other companies have a long waiting period, this project was started and finished within the same week! The guys were hardworking, and did an amazing job. We were very happy with the work they did and we will DEFINITELY use them again in the future."
"I tried the Home Advisor reluctantly since I don't ever feel you get what you hope for... But in this case I went with Dynamic Exteriors and was really surprised at their response... I sent pictures to all that responded to me. Some had minimums to do the work but Dynamic Exteriors called me and told me they could come the same day 7pm. I was about to change it but I decided to just get it done. It was the best decision I could have made. Most reasonable price, excellent work and good attitude and friendly to talk to. I'm one that likes to watch and learn, he knew exactly what to do no time wasted, done quickly and cleaned up. I'm happy; I to highly recommend them."
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! I had a small job which my husband started and couldn't finish because of his job demands. I searched Angie's List and after filling out my information, within 20 minutes received a call from Steve at Mr. Handman. I told him my job was very small and honestly I didn't think I'd find anyone for a last minute small job. He had someone over my house that afternoon. Pete did the work in 1-1/2 hours and did a fantastic job! My husband came home surprised and extremely happy I had it done. Thank you Steve and Pete. I will definitely be using you again for other projects my husband CAN'T FINISH!!!"
"I’d like to start with what a great skilled D&R pro service INC is. I had such pleasure working with this man who is eager to deliver exceptional customer satisfaction by doing great and professional job! You will never regret to hire this company for any projects."
"Shaw's House was the absolute correct choice. As you can see from the photos, I had an odd ask- building a very slim upright coat rack in a tight space. The product was even better than I'd envisioned- the idea for a modular pegboard was all Mr. Shaw. They were kind, responsive, worked quickly, and most importantly, built an incredible piece of hardware that looks great and works perfectly in our apartment. Could not recommend more Shaw's House more highly. A++."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
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.
While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell.
It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.
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.
Skid foundations, deck block foundations, and concrete block foundations are the most affordable shed foundation options. Of these, we recommend deck blocks. Deck blocks are easy to install and level, and they raise your shed up off the ground to prevent rotting from exposure to water and moisture. Keep in mind that deck blocks won’t resist soil movement or frost heave, so they’re not ideal in areas with expansive soil or a deep frost line.
