"They converted an existing closet into a 3/4 bathroom and created a new closet. We designed the project but John had several ideas to better use the space and add more storage; custom built shelves and drawer, slate tile floors. We like the results very much - looks clean and modern. Quality work. Thanks John and your crew."

"Grant was awesome! He was always on time, prepared, and was really good with keeping in contact. He replaced a piece of rotten support beam under our home and he did it quickly and efficiently. Other contractors came and just looked at photos of the damage but grant went under our home on his first visit which was kind of nice after having others go off of only pictures. I’ll definitely be hiring him on other home projects when needed."

"Ian did an excellent job installing our custom Murphy bed built-in, in our guest room. He built us a super rad, custom Tambour cabinet and advised on design and materials. His craftsmanship was second to none, he was highly professional and had excellent communication the whole way. We wouldn’t recommend Ian more and look forward to working with him again!"

"Considering we started a new build in the Covid era, Mark knew when and where to order materials so that they arrived on time and at a reasonable price. He scheduled sub-contractors in a timely fashion and finished our project within a year. Marks primary crew Miguel and Trace did an outstanding job from foundation to finish and were a pleasure to work with. Mark has been in this business for many years, he is patient and has a sense of humor to get you through the difficult times. We would recommend Mark Petrie for any Custom Home you may be considering."

"With all projects, nothing is ever 100 % smooth. Ours was a little rocky and Nate was informative, supportive, and inside full to keep us on track. His honesty and ideas kept us from going way over budget. His ideas on changing things up gave me the kitchen of my dreams."

Barndominium 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.

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.

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.

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.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.
