"Brandon was easy to talk to. Very prompt to arrive on time. The entire job took a bit longer than we thought, but Brandon was always upfront about his schedule. His work ethic is exceptional. And his helper was friendly as well. We felt completely comfortable with them. And Brandon did not ask for any money up front. There, of course, may be different scenarios where he would need some money upfront. But we thought that was a sign of respect and trust. Although we were at home throughout the job, we would have been very ok with not being here as well. Great job!!!"

"JLC contracting went above and beyond to do my home addition for me. I couldn’t be more pleased with the way everything turned out. I found him here on Angie’s list. Wonderful work ethic, reliable, affordable, and these guys are so good at what they do. JLC contracting had the lowest quote out of everyone that I called and I am so pleased with the way my home addition turned out. These guys are truly the best!!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.
