"Very detail oriented. Focused on small touches other businesses are not. You really get what youâ re paying for and it feels like theyâ re not just there to quickly do the job for some quick cash and leave in a hurry. They take their time and are very customer friendly. Very easy to work with. Any questions or concerns I had they quickly answered them. Would highly recommend!"

"I would 100% recommend Tim. He showed up when he said he would. He went to Home Depot and purchased the parts that were needed to complete the jobs. I had a few odd things around the house that needed to be fixed and he knew how to do it all! Very friendly, punctual, and skilled!"

"Very personable, and very professional. Gave helpful ideas and tips. Ryan and Bob were very patient with me helping to do more home improvements that we need doing. We hired them to do our carpets and what a awesome job! Ryan and Bob were fantastic with our dog and cats, making sure they were comfortable and also all pet friendly products. GREAT JOB! Can not wait to hear back from them. Thank you Mary and Chris Manning."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

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.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.

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.
