"They were absolutely amazing to work with. Our house is 118 years old and they hadn't been updated since the 70s. They treated my home like their own. I am beyond happy with the end result"

"John did a great job installing new vinyl flooring throughout my entire 1st floor. He did not give me the run around like other contractors do. He arrived early every day to get the job done quickly. He also left the jobsite clean before he left. Overall, highly recommend if you need some flooring installed."

"Darin from House & Home contracted with us for a project which was a fairly small job at the beginning. My dental office Signature Smile Designs in both Bradford and Smethport was sorely in need of repainting of ramps and strengthening of those ramps. Darin was respectful and worked ho*** ** that early project. The results were very good. Because of the result, I expanded the entire project especially in Bradford. He has maintained his respect and poise through this challenging renovation of a building built in the 1930’s. He has put in two new bathrooms, a new basement floor, new treatment rooms were updated and much more. He has performed at the highest level! Continuing, he has painted inside, put new cabinets in , and even leveled two very off level floors in two rooms. That project was done with attention to detail and was technically a very difficult task… He got them back to level and we will benefit from his hard work.. I fully endorse and recommend Darin and House & Home!"

"WHL Construction responded promptly to my phone call regarding a fairly large second story balcony that was pulling loose from my house's ledger board and was in danger of falling. (Years ago, the original contractor used nails instead of bolts to attach it.) Bill Lamey came to my house the morning after I called and spent over an hour examining the problem and determining a permanent solution. He pulled his 7-man crew from another job and in one day's time, starting at 7:30AM, they disassembled part of the balcony, reattached the support boards to the ledger board with durable, strong bolts, replaced the Trex flooring which had been damaged by screws popping up before the problem was noticed, and reassembled everything including the original balcony rails and spindles. Several contractors wanted to trash the entire balcony and start over with a time estimate of a couple weeks and a much higher price tag. Bill's crew did an excellent job and his quote was reasonable. Plus, he guaranteed his work in writing. I highly recommend WHL Construction."

"When I’m my radiator upstairs leaked into the dining room, I called John and he took care of rebuilding the wall and making it look good as new. It was a challenging project because it was lathe, furing strips, paneling, and then dry wall. It looks good as new! When my deck needed new boards, I called John. When he ripped off the deck boards, he found half the joists needed replaced and he cared for all of that. Looking to hire him when we start our garage attic renovation."

"Everything went very well and the work was quickly completed.  Mr. Henderson was able to get started on the work within a week after giving us his quote and completed the work in about a week.  He removed the damaged drywall and fit a replacement piece back into the area, sanded it even and then repainted the ceiling and the walls near the corner of the ceiling.  The work was done extremely well and it is hard to even tell where the damage was/where the repair area is located.  We are extremely pleased with the work.

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

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.

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.

The construction stage is almost always the longest part of building a house. Within this stage, framing often takes the most time, lasting anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the home's size, the crew, and the time of year. Other parts of the construction phase include pouring the foundation and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring. The planning and design phase can also be very time-consuming, sometimes taking months or even years, especially for a custom home. The final finishing process, which includes painting and installing trim, is typically shorter than the construction or planning stages.
