"Joe does great work! He's a very respectful and considerate professional. I don't trust easily and Joe is the only contractor who I would trust to do work in my home while I'm not there. He does a lot more than what he advertises so just ask for a quote and I bet you'll be surprised."

"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 punctual, polite, professional and did exactly what he saud he would do for the quoted price. I found him via home advisor and was very happy with the end result. He did a fantastic job fixing our porch supports, replacing old columns and putting railings on the porch. His work was top quality. I would definitely hire him again."

"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

While a romantic getaway in a vacation treehouse may sound appealing, building one to live in year-round comes with more challenges. However, a growing number of people are adopting this small-scale living approach to appreciate an off-the-grid, private lifestyle. It allows you to feel closer to nature in a sustainable, customizable, minimalist, and eco-friendly way.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

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.

The construction stage is almost always the longest part of building a house. Within this stage, framing often takes the most time, lasting anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the home's size, the crew, and the time of year. Other parts of the construction phase include pouring the foundation and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring. The planning and design phase can also be very time-consuming, sometimes taking months or even years, especially for a custom home. The final finishing process, which includes painting and installing trim, is typically shorter than the construction or planning stages.

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.
