"Pontius landscaping and repair LLC remodeled my bathroom from the ground up. They did a flawless job not one complaint. They were very nice and professional very considerate as well. Their prices are very fair, they sat down with me and itemized the bill at the end and explained where every dollar I payed came, from which I really appreciated. I would recommend this company to anybody thatâ s looking for any project that needs to be done around their house or yard. A plus company."

"Very professional job stairs were done to code I was also impressed with their solution for a post coming down in a parking lot. They put it at an angle into the building with a go plate at the bottom, anchoring it in my hand fence came out gorgeous. They were timely and very clean about the job I appreciate their work. The job was well done."

"Rich and the crew were professional, courteous and went of heir way to ensure we had the best work, including dealing with incompetence at Home Depot, which screwed up the materials we ordered. Red Rooster took care of that and was dead on with the timeline and incredible work. 100% reliable and we will be working with them again on future projects."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
