"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

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.

If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

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.
