"Stand up guy and whole team! Very reasonable prices and good quality work. Strongly recommend Mack for your home project. He and his family did a nice job doing my garage. He is now back doing my windows. Highly recommended. Will leave review on windows when done."
"The roof of my metal shed collapsed during the last big snowstorm. I called several companies for estimates and Ben came same day right away. We spoke about options, he explained what needed to be done, and how he would proceed, He was detail oriented and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable with his approach. I highly recommend Dynamic Exteriors! The final product is a very strong, well built product that will withstand any storm for years to come!! Thanks Ben and Cesar!!"

"Luis was fantastic throughout the whole process. From the appointment for an estimate, through providing his license and insurance information and execution of the project, he was always on time, very responsive and communicated the progress of work daily. He was very detailed, always extremely courteous and pleasant to work with. All his work was impeccable, he was able to provide advice when needed and was creative in addressing unforeseen issues (structural problems with the project site). I would definitely hire him for future projects and recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable contractor."

"Excellent. Have used before and would not hesitate to use again. They do not leave anything half-way done - everything perfect. The men who work with Nick and his head construction planned, Rene, are very professional as well as friendly and cooperative. The had to put up with a big dog "greeting" them, flights of steps, etc. Everything went as planned and better."
"My wife and I DO NOT use anyone who is not on Angie's List so we understand the importance of having accurate, fair reviews. We found Cary on Angie's List with overall great feedback on jobs he had done so we called him in for an estimate. Despite being very busy, he made the time to come over on a Saturday morning. He had previously dropped by and assessed the damage from the outside but needed to see it from the inside to ensure he could judge it accurately. After 15 minutes, our fears were realized and he said he would need to remove the cedar impression siding and remove the roof and replace it with a different system because the pitch wasn't steep enough. Within 48 hours, he provided a quote for his crew to come out and get the work done in a single day which was completely reasonable. He completed the work (guaranteed) as promised and left the site immaculate. He took pictures of the issue, of job progress and of the completed job. He mentioned he went around and filled some other issues he noticed while he was waiting for his crew to wrap up, no charge at all. He then discounted the quoted, agreed price 5% for angie's list deal I wasn't even aware of. Have you ever heard of a contractor accept less than an agreed price? Me neither. Angie's List is a great resource for people to share experiences. I think the contractors who are honest and reasonable should be applauded too. We have been on the receiving end of some really lousy service so this was a new experience having someone do what they promised to do. Cary and his crew are the best in Monmouth County. We already have him pricing out finishing a storage space and will use him to build our deck in the spring. I cannot recommend Cary enough and you can reach me through Cary if you'd like to see his work firsthand. Kevin "
"We are very happy with the services provided by AAA Custom Painting. Andres was very friendly, professional and detail oriented. We had our shutters and garage doors repainted along with some additional exterior trim in Oct. 2016 and have been very happy with the results. Our 30+ year old garage doors look new again! We would recommend AAA to any of our friends and neighbors."
Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.
The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.
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
Choosing a suitable backyard playset that’s age-appropriate and entertaining for your children is worth the cost. A backyard playset you can update and upgrade as your kids grow offers even more benefits. Although a playset won’t substantially increase your home’s value, it won’t negatively affect it either.
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.
