"I had a few companies lined up to provide me quotes and DeBella was the first appt. They explained all the features and the benefits of the GAF products itself, the high warranty level if DeBella installed the GAF products (due to the contractors training w/ GAF) and went up the attic to review the supporting wood beams and plywood to give a bid. I was told that from what they saw in the attic that at least 50% (and possibly up to 2/3) of the plywood would need to be replaced and the quotes requested from calling their office was based on that. They gave me 3 different quotes (w/ covered gutters, w/ uncovered gutters, w/o gutters). There was plenty of high pressure tactics used during this appt regarding added promotions (at least 2 promotions were applied) that was only valid for that day. Since I had no other bids yet (and at least 4 others scheduled in the next day or two); I kept pushing back saying I was not comfortable nor willing to commit without hearing the other bids. They finally relented and stated that my promo offer pricing was valid till the end of the next day. I eventually picked another company to do the replacement (since they provided me a quote w/o plywood cost included but did state how much each sheet of plywood would be costing if plywood would need replacing). But what irks me about DeBella (other than the pressure tactics) is the fact that the company I picked only had to replace minimal plywood due to rot vs what DeBella quoted me. And its not like I would get refund if DeBella happen to not need to replace all the plywood that they quoted on; they just get a bigger profit. So, if you want a quote from DeBella, make sure you schedule their appt as the last one so that the pressure tactics are lessened. Overall Pros: Very detailed explanations of the GAF products and the resulting warranty using DeBella. Went up to the attic and reviewed the wood structure. Overall Cons: High pressure tactics Over-estimation of plywood needs (meant bigger profit for DeBella)"

"The toilet needed to be replaced. I was told that I would only get the builder standard grade toilet even though I was signed up with the highest plan. The plumber was replaced my toilet with something that was definitely builder grade and not even close to what I had. I called CHOICE and they told me that it should have been replaced with something comparable to what I had. Twice they told me they were going to have my claim looked at and I have not received a call about it or any new information. The new toilet is wrong in size and specs and doesn't fit well where it is in the bathroom."

"The project was organized from where I live in California. All aspects of the job were completed on schedule and according to the contract. I highly recommend Mid-Valley Building and Jim Jones. "
"The garage door opener needed a part that took almost a month to arrive. Fridge and dishwasher also got few weeks before they were actually repaired."
"The company made an appointment to perform interior painting on July 3rd. We were repainting the entire home and hired a professional to do the area over the stairs and the vaulted master bedroom. The day before the scheduled appointment I was contacted and told they would be unable to keep the appointment and needed to reschedule for the following week. I explained that the house would no longer be empty after July 4th and the painting needed to be completed prior to the move in. He committed to send a painter. The painter arrived at noon the day of the appointment. When I checked on the painter a couple of hours later he had rolled the ceiling and walls but had not done the cut in where the ceiling met the wall. The painter told me that he "hates to paint". I was surprised considering he was a painter and he responded, "I am not a painter. I would rather build decks, hang drywall or pretty much anything other than paint". I was shocked that the company didn't send a painter. The next time I checked on him, he was working on cutting in the area where the wall meets the ceiling. It looked horrible. The areas I painted looked 100 times better than what he had done. At that point, I sent him home and contacted the company to complain. To their credit, the company sent a real painter to the house after the move in. That painter re-painted the bedroom and fixed the problems. In the end, the master bedroom looks great. The owner told me that they fired the guy they sent the first time, but from the reviews that other people had the same guy sent to their house. I respect that they fixed the problem but I would not use this company again. "
"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it. Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "
The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.
Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.
It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:
Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies
Setback: Distance between barn and property line
Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property
Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.
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.
