"Pete was the most responsive contractor We’ve ever worked with. He was very straightforward and gave us a the most prompt and fair estimate we could ask for. The deck came out even better than we expected. He went out of his way to make sure we knew he valued our business and we will hire him again for any projects we need done. My husband and I highly recommend GPG Construction!"
"From our first contact with this company, we were very impressed by their attitude, professionalism, doing what they said they would do. Price charged within local standards and used quality products. They kept in contact with us, keeping us up to date on plans for job. The job had to be postponed for 2 weeks due to constant rain but they let us know in plenty of time to make sure it was ok with us. The office contact, Megan, is very friendly and efficient. The crew that came was super excellent. They went right to work, no wasted time. Kept work area neat, cleaned up after first day. On second day, finished the job and left our home and yard looking better than it did before they came. Our next door neighbor commented that he had never seen such a professional job and group of people. We have mobility issues so they carried the extra shingles to our basement and put them exactly where we wanted them and even picked up some heavy bags of salt for our water conditioner from the local Home Depot and put them in our basement. Cannot say enough good things about them. Our roof looks great, they provided a great warranty and quality product. We have already scheduled them to come back for an estimate to replace our outside steps (which they hauled away at our request at no extra charge) Would highly recommend them. They even gave us a gift of homemade baked goods as a thank you for using their services Bob and Carol Merritt"
"James is our go-to guy for any home improvement work. First, he does the job right. He pays attention to details and takes no shortcuts. Second, he's on time, cleans up, he tells you what he's going to do and he hits his deadlines. Third, he won't kill you on the price. He'd rather have you come back for another job someday. And a great family. Hire him and you can relax."
"I was so stressed out with being a first time home owner, UNTIL I met Mike and his team! They went above and BEYOND! They helped with so much more than just what they were hired on to do. They literally made my house a dream come true. I love my home now. It went from ugly to BEAUTIFUL in about two weeks worth of time... The remodel was SOOOOOO smooth and came out FANTASTIC! I tell everyone and their mother to use these guys. I cannot thank them enough or give them enough credit. I will use them for all future endeavors. I LOVE these guys! Mike is the bestest and will get what you want done fast and seamlessly. HE IS TOP NOTCH and treats you like family."
"They were fast and efficient, polite and flexible. Super nice guys, I put a huge deck on the back of my house and they did a great job for a great price."
"Excellent work, very nice workers, excellent oversight and attention to detail. Plenty of workers to get the job done fast. Cleaned up all the mess after too. Very trustworthy and accommodating."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.
Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations.
Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
Choosing a suitable backyard playset that’s age-appropriate and entertaining for your children is worth the cost. A backyard playset you can update and upgrade as your kids grow offers even more benefits. Although a playset won’t substantially increase your home’s value, it won’t negatively affect it either.
Your foundation contractor will first need to remove the topsoil and any vegetation within 4 feet of the area around the barn. They’ll need to ensure they have clear access to the site to begin excavation, after which they can begin construction.
