"We hired Rutledge Construction to fix some major weatherproofing issues and replace the vinyl siding on our row house as the result of a successful lawsuit against the original builder. We were extremely delighted with the results of the work that Josh and his crew performed. He kept me informed of what he found and repaired at every stage of the project, created an extensive picture log of his findings and repair work, and completed a quality job for a very reasonable price and time compared to some of the other similar repair jobs done in this building. His customer service skills were outstanding, and I plan hire him again to do the garage as soon as his schedule permits. Outstanding work!"

"Jared and his crew did an outstanding job for us. We purchased a home that needed the entire interior painted after they removed the wall paper and repaired the dry wall. They also completed many other "projects" we wanted done before we moved in. In every instance the work was very professional, and the results exactly what we had hoped for. We were so impressed that we've hired Jared for a couple other projects. When looking for a contractor you want honesty, experience, knowledge, and competitive pricing. We got all that and more from Jared and his crew. Great guys, great work and outstanding results!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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 you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.
