"Several years ago they remodeled an older home I own. Because they are so good, we used them to build a new home on 10 acres. They are very adaptive to our changing ideas. We worked with them in making changes as the work progressed. This has been either because we see a need for a different design or in response to their suggestions for how to make things nicer. There input was extremely important in adapting our new home to a steep hillside. There work is of the highest quality and they work with us in deciding on subcontractors. The support does not end with the end of the project. The have dealt with the subcontractors each time an issue has arisen in the months following completion."
"Had a retaining wall done? Eric was great in keeping me informed of all steps up to the very end and was easy to work with. His team did an outstanding job and the wall looks great. It is nice to have a company that shows pride in its work and cares about the customer. I highly recommend them."
"Dorson was prompt to return my calls and answer my questions. He treated my home like his own. He takes pride in his work and loves what he does. I highly recommend Dorson Jackson for your home construction project."
"My experience with Oregon Valley construction LLC was excellent. Unfortunately they were unable to do my project because I had an ordering issue on my end and did not receive my patio set. Very friendly and professional."
"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."
"Communication with the contractor was excellent! All of the work was done professionally, on time and at a reasonable and fair cost. I would hire this company again and recommend them to friends and family. A job well done!"
"Our two-story home was in dire need of exterior painting and weather damage repairs. Elite Enclosures team is skilled and responsible, polite, positive and efficient. Adam Martin strives to communicate with us, so that we have full understanding of the project. The crew are polite, friendly and good humored, but constantly working. The weather damage required a new man-door frame installation and the double garage door needed dry rot removal and mold removal, including siding replacement. The resulting repairs are exceptional and we are impressed. We have hired the same business to replace a dry-rotted fence and build a new gate, all done well!"
"I was looking to get some tilling done in my kitchen when I came across Toro Framing and Remodeling. They were very efficient and great customer service. I was satisfied with how great their work was, will definitely be contacting them in the future for any other remodeling I need done. Good Job ??"
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.
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.
If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.
Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations.
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.
