I contacted Chris Cook, who gave me a prompt and very competitive bid for the project. I am absolutely thrilled with the results, and Chris and his crew have exceeded all of my expectations. Some observations: 1) Chris is very professional and is great with communication. He was easy to contact and quick to get back to me any time I had a question; 2) his crew always showed up on time, were super nice, put in a full day?s work, and were respectful of my property. I could see progress on the project every single day when I came home from work; 3) Chris was patient with my questions and concerns?he came up with good, workable solutions when we ran into unforeseen issues, and paid a lot of attention to detail. Chris listened to what I wanted to use the room for, came up with a vision, and executed it flawlessly; 4) even though this was a relatively small project, I always felt Chris gave it his full attention. I never felt like he had ?more important? jobs to take care of.
Truly, I couldn?t have asked for a better experience?from ?customer service? to actual construction--I have zero complaints. I am already looking forward to working with Cook?s Painting and Renovation again in the future. THANK YOU, Chris and crew, for your exceptional work. It is very much appreciated.

They are honest, caring, prompt, and clean...all things that you don't find in others in this profession all of the time! They became like family to my kids and I trusted them to be at home with my family when I was not there, and my wife was thrilled that she could trust someone. This after building the home and remodeling an office with dozens of other contractors who would not show up or do what they were supposed to do or be of an altered state.
Don and Brian are the only people that I refer to because I know that they are going to do what they promise. Not sure I can say anything else that means so much! They have done so much and do it right the first time...5 Stars!!
Thanks again, Don and Brian!!

We ended up having to open a homeowner's claim because he damaged one of the walls of our home and we ended up having the wall replaced.

Jason responded to a request for roofing repair as we had an interior leak. We already had a metal roof that was about 11 years old. It was not installed properly and thanks to Jason, he took pictures and showed us where screws were coming up because they were not properly secured. Long...

He was paid hourly apparently, him AND his helper, and kept dragging work out. Drywall patch looks terrible. He said he could match it perfectly when he stopped to look it over. You can see the indentations where he put new drywall. Didn’t sand down appropriately. Told me to remud the...

Kirk and his crew take their craft seriously. They don't cut corners and they make things right when other builders have left things wrong. If you're in the market with roofing needs, then give Kirk a call.

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!

"We recently had our old roof replaced by Kirsch Construction. The entire roof was completed in one day.

We are extremely pleased with the look of the new shingles. Kirsch Construction was easy to work with and very professional."

FAQs for barndominium building projects in Altoona, PA
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical. Garage remodels that include changing the roof and walls add significant expenses to the project. Plus, you can expect to pay about $1,400 for the building conversion permits. For a simple remodel, like painting interior walls and recoating the garage floor, it will cost about $2 to $5 per square foot.
