"We recently completed a home addition project with Frank, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The work included a particularly complex installation of a steel support beam, and Frank handled it with absolute precision and skill. His attention to detail and commitment to meticulous quality were evident every step of the way. What really set Frank apart was his transparency and communication. He kept us updated daily, explaining the process clearly and making sure there were no surprises along the way. He showed up every day, worked consistently, and delivered the project on time. The pricing was more than fair given the scope and quality of the work, and we always felt we were getting exceptional value. We couldn’t be more pleased with the final result, and we would hire Frank again without hesitation. His professionalism, craftsmanship, and reliability make him a contractor we recommend wholeheartedly."

"Artie was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable in a vast array of services. Artie worked for me for over 7 years preforming tasks that varied from converting a small shed to a luxury air bnb, remodeling apartment buildings, restructuring and replacing a large porch, installing washer and dryers as well as dishwashers, and various small home projects. Artie was always punctual and reliable. He completed all jobs in a timely and effective manner. He also fixed projects that were done improperly by other contractors. I also found him to be cost effective in every way. Saving myself time, money, and energy upon every job that I hired him for. Artie still works for me to this day. Heâ s my go to for just about anything and everything!"

"WOW WOW WOW is all I can say! My husband and I are so ecstatic over the kitchen and bathroom remodel that was done. Our house doesn't even look the same! I loved the fact that the company really strived for having such a clean "construction zone," I never felt overwhelmed during the process. We've done some home renovations before, and I can easily say, The Saratoga Essex company will always be who we call in the future as well as tell our families and friends to use!"

"This company was a pleasure to work with. They built a deck for our swimming pool. They provided a professional proposal and drawing, worked with me and offered suggestions for the deck, and handled the permit process. Our new deck looks fantastic and is just what I had hoped for. The entire process was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend Advanced Energy Advisors."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Due to the expansion of the tiny house movement, you can usually find tiny houses to buy in your state. Prices range considerably based on size, style, and type. If you’re looking for a tiny home that’s move-in ready, you may be able to find a good deal to buy or a prefab dealer near you. 

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.

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.

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

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.
