"Chuck and Peter were excellent to work with. They helped me through all steps of a difficult permitting process. They sourced hundreds of custom stone, tile, countertop, plumbing fixtures and other items I had picked out. Their foreman was awesome and easy to work with. They had answers to all my questions and were quick to resolve any issues that came up during the build. They really went out of their way to ensure I was a satisfied customer. I highly recommend the Village Builder."
"AMAZING!! It's so important to partner with exceptional professionals (accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, builders, etc) and Eric is most certainly one of these. He is very professional, showed up in person to give me an estimate, his team did an exceptional job, and he showed up in person again to make sure the work met my expectations. I am incredibly happy with my fence; it is a work of art! I would highly recommend Eric and his team for any project you have in mind. Book early, as talent requires that you may have to wait!"
"This is my fifth time contracting Dorson for some additional work on our 1920s farm house. This included 2 new window dormers, front porch dormer, new roofing, decorative masonry work, along with a bathroom remodel. I am very happy with the work completed and everything was completed in a timely manner. Communication was excellent and Dorson was easy to work with regarding more custom aspects of our designs. I would highly recommend."
"Freddy has done a couple of jobs for us, and both have gone great. I really appreciate his communication throughout the jobs, and the results have been great and added style and functionality to our home. 👍"
"Great team to work with, quality work, they go out of their way to please the customer. We were doing a living room and front deck expansion project and Paul and his team delivered a beautiful completed project and on budget. I have already recommended Triple D to two other friends for assisting them with their current projects."
"The Ditgen crew was great and the work done was amazing! The finished tub and tile work was stunning. The crew showed up on time every day and were polite and respectful. At the end of each day they went out of their way to clean up. They answered every question and seemed so knowledgeable about the work they were doing. I would recommend Ditgen to anyone who is looking for work, no matter the size of the job! You wonâ t be disappointed!"
"Adam and Jacob removed the old fence and installed a new fence that really improved the property. We were so pleased with the work we hired them to also install new doors. They did an outstanding job on both the fence and doors!"
"These guys were great!! Reasonable estimate followed by very high quality work. Prompt work and attention to detail could not have been better. Even did some repairs that we didn’t think could be done. And finished in less than a week. I highly appreciate all their work and recommend them. Could not be more pleased. Give them a call!"
"Toro did an outstanding job! They were easy to work with, transparent, very responsive, and so friendly and polite. I am very pleased with their work. I highly recommend Toro for your next project!"
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.
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.
Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment.
While building a treehouse isn’t necessarily a death sentence, damaging the trunk is one of the ways to kill a tree. If you’re concerned about the tree, opt for a treehouse support system rather than attaching it directly to the trunk. This may involve using bolts and brackets to affix the structure to the tree's branches or establishing a standalone support system that remains unattached to the tree.
Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
