"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

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.

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

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations. 

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.
