"i can't say enough about Justin, he was respectful, efficient answered all our questions and helped us through the entire project to get the look we where envisioning- He removed old insulation and ceiling tiles in kitchen Replaced with new insulation and drywall, install canless recessed lighting, fixed lazy Susan, tightened up threshold on main entrance door, installed pine trim molding around windows, seal cellar entrance from outside- we have counter tops and sink on order and will install when they come in- Special shout out to one of his worker's- who customized a eye sore in our old kitchen and created a beautiful pine food pantry- from it- I would recommend him - he's there every day and works hard with his crew to get things done . He was very respectful of my elderly mother and hung plastic barrier up also to help cut back on the dust through the house. which was very much appreciated. He has also helped us move, and snow plows for us - we have been very pleased and his prices are reasonable"

"I can’t say enough great things about Nystrom. They built me an absolutely beautiful screened porch. Their workmanship is amazing and they are perfectionists. They are wonderful to work with and definitely went the extra mile several times to ensure everything was exactly what I wanted. They are now “my guys” for whatever project I need done next."

"Our exhaust fan/light was acting up and Mr. Jan came right out the same day and gave us a free estimate, and a convenient time that he could be back out. Mr. Jan was very polite and professional. He quoted us one price, however he was able to get the job done without extensive damage so he charged us less than what he quoted. A very well rounded gentleman. Thank you so much Mr. Jan. We really appreciate everything that you helped us out with we will definitely be giving you all the work that comes up around here. And we highly recommend you to anyone else. Great job we really appreciate what you did for us."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

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 you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
