"Excellent contractor! Very knowledgeable with simple and effective explanation. This service provider was able to successfully rebuild window trim, insulate/foam, and paint a great number of exterior windows efficiently. I definitely plan on hiring again. Great integrity and honesty with with a wide variety of skill. I've saved this company's contact information to hopefully help me do some insulation/sealing/weatherproofing in my basement."

"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!"

"Steve is very knowable of every aspect of the construction process (design, excavation, foundations & framing). When a crew is needed Steve is the conductor and the crew is very skilled at providing quality performance. When the going gets tough he keeps going by accepting the challenge and works it through to the end. Only complaint, coordinating his work schedule with me. I do not always know when I will see him again. However, if I call he always answers. I plan on using him again on my next project."

"The project went really well. The builder communicated clearly at each step of the way and was open to substitutions. We opted for a different brand of decking besides what they usually use and our requests were nicely accommodated. The workers came when they said they would and completed the project on-time and left our property as they found it. The porch and deck look awesome! I would highly recommend this builder for decking projects. We are very satisfied."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair.
