"We were very much pleased with the professionalism of the contractor and the quality of the work completed. We would definitely recommend Powerhouse Construction for any small or large jobs that you need done."
"Once started the work was done quickly. The original scope of work for concrete finish was changed at my request to use exposed aggregate making the pad look like one single pour. Wow, looks great, money well spent. Gable roof with cathedral ceiling and finishes match perfectly. Looks like it has always been part of the house. Light landscaping was also provided to repair lawn from construction damage. This was done by the contractor without charge or my request. There was a small leak that the contractor repaired after several trips. This was resolved to my satisfaction. The point here is the contractor took responsibility and returned until this was resolved. We love our new patio, it’s perfect!"
"After receiving several estimates (which varied by the thousands, so do your research) we went with Home Crafters because the owner Jim seemed very knowledgeable and honest. We liked the fact that he and his own crew would be directly working on our project and not a sub contractor. He also provided examples of homes in the area that would could drive by and see. That was a big selling point, as these homes looked great! His crew showed up on time each day and Jim stayed in contact with us throughout the process. Very happy with the results! "
"Greg of Omni Pro was very responsive and quickly provided an estimate. He was professional as well. Unfortunately, I was not able to hire Omni Pro because we decided to go with a less expensive option for the retaining wall. It is a pleasure when a contractor responds to a call/request for quote (unfortunately, many do not)."

"I put my old Victorian house on the market this summer, and it sold in two days!. I must give credit to S.L. Contractors and wonderful job they did remodeling my house. I got their name from Angie’s List four years ago. My first project was the painting of all the exterior windows. I have three floors. They even repainted the rusty grills at my basement windows. That wasn’t a big job, because the jobs kept getting bigger. Then I had my old pantry converted into a powder room. My next project was the biggest one - removing all the knob and tube wiring and then replacing the plaster with drywall and finally adding can lighting. What I love the most is my new kitchen. The kitchen sold the house! It was exactly what I wanted. Mr. Washington, general contractor, over the years has been a source of information about quality construction. He was kind of a design consultant for the remodel job for the kitchen. When discussing the size of the island, he said “No one ever says the island is too big.” He worked with me and was flexible as I selected decorative touches from retail stores and online. My kitchen was a challenge. It had pine wood paneling and the layout didn’t work. Mr. Washington changed the appliance layout. I needed my hallway tiles to match my kitchen floor. Mr. Washington searched and found tiles in Texas that matched perfectly. I had a positive experience with S.L. Contractors."
"Wallstructures LLC did a fantastic job installing new pavers for my patio. John was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the process, what materials needed to be used, etc. he was able to come out quickly for an estimate and started the work right away. Unless the weather was bad, John was there everyday until the job was finished. He provided information on the best pavers to use, we went over design and colors. When the vendor didn’t have the exact colors I wanted originally, he gave me suggestions on what to get instead. I am extremely happy with how everything turned out and would definitely use this contractor again."
"Tony is the best general Contractor I have ever had to do some work for me on my house. Very knowledgeable and efficient and honest and easy to get along with. Did a great job and highly recommend him all all types of general contractor work, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, painting, etc"

Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:
