"Fast response time. Quality of finished work. Cost conscious. Very friendly. Listens and responds to what we want. Offers cost effective alternatives, especially when we arenâ t exactly sure how to deal with a problem. Treats us like we are their favorite customer, which we love, even though we know it canâ t possibly be true. Iâ ve dealt with other contractors who, as soon as they get the job, they are off trying to get the next job, while our project stalls. But Robertâ s team gets on it and gets it done. I couldnâ t be happier"
"We went with Absolute Home because their quote came in quite a bit lower than other contractors. We were really excited to get started, and Greg did start with a bang. Then the job kept getting started and delayed, started and delayed. We understood we hired a small contractor, but was told he would be dedicated to our project. He kept having to finish or start other jobs then return to ours. His helper broke our garage door. We bought a new one and he installed it for free. We have told him several times it's still not hung right. A piece of the house siding has come off several times, he came out once and pushed it back into place. He has not come back out to fix it. Despite the problems, we were overall happy with the price and work done, so we went ahead and paid him to fix our fence, power-wash and stain the rest of the fence and decking. He fixed the fence with much cheaper quality wood than the rest of the fence is built from. Then he said he had to wait until the weather warmed up to do the stain. That was March/April. He has not been out to finish the job to date. I have given him the option to refund our money since he didn't complete the project, but he has not responded."
"We have had Ryan help us with several projects - including some that included plumbing and welding elements. He is also a great woodworker! He is conscientious, hardworking, honest. Highly recommended."
"Amazing!! Roger is an extremely hard worker and gets the job done. He’s easy to work with and I was impressed by the results. Would definitely hire again!"
"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."
"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."
"Steve completed window and door renovations for me in April of 2019. He did an awesome job at an incredible price. I had to have new windows and doors in a 3400 sq foot house. He was fast and efficient. Miss having him in Georgia."
"Jeff is passionate about quality craftsmanship. His prices are old school and reasonable. You will not find better work and dedication anywhere. Nor the great price. His nearly 40 years experience left me in competent caring hands. He is my go to tradesman. - Rev. Mike ONeal"

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.
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.
You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.
It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.
The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.
