"Went with Manfredia's again! Ran into a problem with the garage roof an a major leak but Manfreida's came through with flying colors. After I put in my call the owner was out to do the estimate for me the same week an even did a little extra by taking down some mushrooms ( ewwww) that had been lurking where the leak had been particularly bad. In order to save my otherwise perfectly good, very full, garage they were even able to fit me into the schedule the following week to get the roof ripped off, re-decked and water tight before an upcoming storm. What a life saver! The crew that came out was very nice and worked swiftly, over all the job took less then three days to complete. They even replaced a small part on the back of the roof that had rotted and replaced all the trim sections with pvc so the carpenter bees wont be be making any more holes! Everything came out wonderfully I enjoy seeing it every time I pull into the driveway. I love working with Manfredia's and will DEFIANTLY be calling again for my next project. Thanks!!"
"Jermaine and his guys were great. Arrived on Time and got the job done. I originally scheduled to have a ton of junk removed from my garage, but I mentioned my garbage disposal being broken and they were able repair it the very same day. I’d Definitely recommend Sunny’s Services, you now have a repeat customer. Thanx guys"
"Juan had his crew come out and do the work. We had water damage from water heater failure. They did a great job repairing drywall, repairing base boards, and painting. They worked with me on the schedule. They kept area clean. Would definitely use again. "
Joseph Sullivan is by far one of the best contractors I have ever hired, and I've probably had 50 or more in over 30 years. From start to finish, he and his crew were professional, prompt and courteous. Joe responded immediately to our email inquiry, showed up on time for our initial estimate and was polite and professional throughout the entire process. My husband works nights and sleeps till noon and Joe and his crew were so quiet we didn't even know they were in the house. Joe's work ethic is superb, almost impossible to find today!!! Joe's attention to detail is amazing, we could not be happier with his work, absolutely beautiful and perfect! I wouldn't dream of hiring anyone else and we highly recommend him to everyone we meet! We now have a walkout basement that we will enjoy and use every day .
"We needed a new lower roof and once the winter weather broke we got put into the schedule and the work was done promptly. Took them only one day to rip off the roof, cut out three bad spots and replace with new plywood. Then re-shingle the roof and re-side one wall. It looks great and best of all no leaks. Everyone was very professional, provided us pictures of the damage they fixed and left the property as clean as they found it. Great experience! "
"Great father and son team. I liked what they did with the 3rd floor plumbing and used them for basically everything else that came up. I'm a recent first time home buyer and appreciated the advice they gave, not just on plumbing but general house maintenance. Great work for a competitive price and they gave me some discounts for being a VIP customer (see list above). "
"Another good contracting event. This building is our rental property and had interior water damage to the upper floor apartment, plus all the exterior woodwork badly needed painting and refinishing. Luis and his team handled it smoothly, including having to work with our tenants and schedule his team to be inside the building to do the interior work. We had a setback in the middle of the job in that a neighbor's property developed a bad roof leak that caused more water damage just before our painters were scheduled to start. Luis and his team flexed their schedule to accommodate our neighbor's getting the roof repaired and allowing time for the water to dry out of the interior walls. Job was done beautifully and without any problems."
"We called Nolan's to get a quote on Painting and to and schedule an 11x14 one bedroom painting job (no trim necessary) to get us moved into a new home. I told the receptionist we would be wanting more painting done and a color consult at a later date on the other rooms but needed this bedroom done before we schedule the movers to bring in the furniture. This particular room had a large and extremely heavy captains bed that needed to be disassembled to move so we wanted paint done before we brought that in. We had the color picked out already so the job was quite easy. The receptionist took our information and said she would call back and did so the following day and said that "Nolan doesn't service Spring City" (which is in Chester county and on the border of Chester and Montgomery counties). According to their Angie's List page and the map Nolan's say they serve "Montgomery, Chester, Delaware & a Portion of Philadelphia and Bucks Counties" and we live well within their service area even according to their map. I think they just didn't want the job because it was small. We won't be calling them again when we want the rest of the house painted. "
It is recommended that you check with your local building official on barn building requirements and rules, since size restrictions vary greatly from region to region based on what your property is zoned for. Some cities limit barn construction depending on if your property is residential or commercial. The three main factors your building commission will evaluate are:
Height and lot coverage: How tall your barn is and how much of your total property it occupies
Setback: Distance between barn and property line
Easement: Legal right for another owner to access another’s property
The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.
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.
Your chicken coop needs to be off the ground to protect your chickens and avoid problems brought on by flooding, mud, and moisture. If you can't locate a high area to build the coop, you should build an elevated coop to ensure it stays dry.
Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.
