"Andy and his crew were extremely personable and communicative with me each step of the way. I got exactly what I hoped for, sooner than expected, and under budget! They took the time with me to even go to Lowe's and pick out flooring pieces that I took back to the house and matched to my hardwood floors so that everything has continuity. I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend D Squared Contracting."

"We hired Mitchell group for an entire deck replacement. From start to finish, this company was knowledgeable, punctual, professional, and very efficient. Mitchell was personally on the jobsite at least once a day. Special shout out to Sam and Alex for building the perfect deck exactly the way we wanted it. We highly recommend Mitchell Group, we would definitely use them again, their work is immaculate, and their cleanup is complete. They definitely get 5 stars from us."

"We moved to our new home in December. This is the second time we've used Moving Ahead Services to get the job done. They quoted us a move time that seemed reasonable for the size of our house and 2 storage units. The guys who were assigned to do the move showed up on time and were very professional. They listened to everything we had to say and took very good care of all of our possessions. For everything that they moved, I only saw one tiny streak that they left behind on the wood floors, and that was easily cleaned up. The guys were note only efficient but they had a great attitude and were fun to be around. I would highly recommend using this company and their services."

"As a first time home buyer, I was already facing a new and stressful situation all by myself. I was aware when I purchased the home it would require work prior to moving in. I sent request to multiple handyman and larger companies to obtain a quote and estimation of time for being able to complete what I need to be able to move in, and then the remaining work. I received quote and estimate on time from this company faster and prompter than any of the other companies I submitted too. After receiving a quote, they came out to my home after scheduling a time frame. They arrived and followed me through the house, paying attention to the details I requested, took notes on everything I was wanting and requesting, and Kareem was able to understand exactly what I needed done. I asked Kareem and his company to run and replace the wiring in the kitchen, the wiring was so old it was at danger of arching and catching fire, and I needed the basement to be waterproofed by installing a sub pump and the entire drainage and pipe system. I informed Kareem I had to have all of this completed within three days, I had to be moving in on the Fourth day, not only did he complete it within the time frame, he completed on the second day by noon, giving me extra time to move in. I was more than happy with this of course, however, as to rewiring of my kitchen he was able to place plugs above the counter tops in very convenient places for me, making life easier. As to waterproofing my basement, the completed work looks amazing, and I am unable to tell that the concrete floors had been ripped open, and was done perfectly. I would highly recommend Kareem and his Company any day and to any of my friends and or family."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

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.

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

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.
