"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!"
"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."
"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!"
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
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 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.
A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.
