"They were very professional. Arrived on time, completed the work in two days as promised. The price was reasonable and they cleaned up everything. The two men were very friendly. Go on their website and see before and after pictures of the deck. We are very pleased and would hire them for our next job. William and Virginia Potts of Centereach"
"Great Handyman to have for your home. He does not want you to spend more money then you have to so his prices are very reasonable. He did a really good job in fixing my bathroom wall and he even cleaned up the mess. Mr. Rubio was all about business, but I also made some new friends and will continue to use his expertise for future home improvement projects. Very pleased with the work and I highly recommend them for any home."
"We hired MHI Home Improvements to renovate our entire Kitchen in Bethpage, NY. We are so happy with the work ethics and final product. His staff would sweep every day before they ended for the day and make sure they left everything clean and tart early on time the next day. The entire job was finished timely and we get compliments all the time. My wife and I are more than happy to recommend MHI Home Improvements for any of your home improvments!"
"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 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."
"All their work was excellent. Not only did they replace our roof and repair water damage in our dining room, we had them do other jobs too. Replacement basement windows, outdoor lighting, and fencing. I would definitely hire them again."
"All Island Pro roofing replaced our 27 year old roof when we first bought our home. They showed up for the estimate, despite trees being down after a storm. They did exactly what they said they would do. Everything from the financing to the removal of the old roof to the installation was handled with professionalism and timeliness. This was the best experience of all the home improvement projects we did after buying our home. I would definitely recommend!"
"Ronald and his Team did an excellent job for a very good price. Very professional. Pointed out some things that needed attention and then took care of it. The workmanship and customer service is better than any other craftman I have ever hired. I will keep Exterior Team Home Service number available to recommend to anyone that asks if "I know someone who...." I trust Exterior Team Home and will use them in the future."

Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.
If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.
Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
A 5x8 trailer can fit a queen-sized bed plus additional items. It is one of the most common sizes for enclosed cargo trailers, open utility trailers, and dump trailers. U-Haul, a national trailer rental company serving most U.S. markets, claims its 5x8 enclosed trailer can tow up to 1,800 pounds.
