"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!!"

"Contacted Juan and he called me right away and came out for an estimate. Gave a great price for replacing the entire ceiling, cut out holes for existing recessed lighting, and replaced the drywall where my skylights had been replaced. The crew was very professional, neat, and the finished product was excellent. Communication for times to perform the work was great and they stuck to the schedule."

"All rooms were done to perfection.   Ceilings in our 45 year old house look brand new.   Molding is perfect.
Garage is above our expectations... all walls were completely repaired.   I think this even took more time that Joe may have estimated.  
They are perfectionists.   It is as if they are painting and repairing their own homes.
Joe answered all of our questions in a very timely manner.  Great communicator.   All estimates were in writing.  
As the work was being completed, he would give us a summary each day.  
We had three estimates from other Painters / Carpenters.   Joe's was the most complete and fairest price.
I would recommend Joseph Sullivan Painting and we will use them again.

It went great!!   For the estimate they worked around my schedule.  I knew how I wanted the deck to look but that was it. Lew was great in helping me decide all the details. The work was done in a few days and all the workers were very polite and helpful  with any questions I had along the way. I now have a gorgeous deck from the back of my house with new sliding doors up to my pool that has a locking gate for the safety of my children. They did a fantastic job!!

Came home that night to a VERY crooked section of fence. I called they came out next day and fixed it. Installer was very nice."

"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).

"Although he ran late for our initial appointment, when I met Luis to get an estimate for the work involved I was impressed by his thoroughness, product knowledge and his detailed note taking about the job. Previous painters who had come by had been abrupt and lacked the detailed focus. I had made up a pretty detailed questionnaire so I could thoroughly assess each painters input about the job. When I asked Luis about the nail pops showing in some ceiling areas he assured me that they would fix them with 2 screws on either side removing the offending nail. Right answer. I was impressed. He also reviewed the steps taken in prep--plastic over the cabinets, paper covering floors, patching, sanding, priming, taping, chaulking etc. Because I had wallpaper glue issues from a previously poorly done paint job he assured me walls would be sanded, patched and then primed with an oil based primer to seal in the glue. That is what paint experts had recommended. Again I was impressed. The written up estimate detailing the job arrived a few days later via email. We communicated and revised the proposal back and forth until I was pleased that it incorporated all the details of the job including paint brands to be used. Although English is not Luis' first language we communicated fairly well via phone and email. He assured me that at least someone on the job would be able to communicate as well as he. I liked Luis, was impressed by the high ratings on Angie's List and found him to be more respectful and customer satisfaction oriented than other painters I had spoken to for an estimate. He also gave me the best price to do the job, particularly with the Angie's List discount. So I decided to go with his firm of which he is the principal owner. Scheduling the job went pretty smoothly working to accommodate my desire to get the job done in October before the holidays. On the first day two painters arrived more than 2.5 hours later than I had been told to expect them. Only one spoke a reasonable amount of English, the other very little. Both were very nice guys, for the most part diligent workers, with no attitude, but communication would end up being a real problem. They spent the first day prepping the kitchen area and other two rooms. Next 3 days they arrived on time around 9am and worked until about 6pm. They didn't take long lunches or breaks. The job was taking longer than Luis had calculated based on the prep required. My husband and I at the end of each day found issues in their prep--mostly careless patching, sanding or lack of. Their lack of attention to detail was disappointing, but they kept a positive attitude. During the job I received follow-up phone calls and emails from Luis asking for feedback. Twice a "supervisor" stopped by, but I didn't see much value. He first showed up midafternoon on the second day. His English was not good, so my communication with him was poor. I couldn't understand what he was saying to the painters, but it did not seem to me that he was insuring that a protocol of company standards or that the details of our written estimate were being followed. During the last couple days of the job, the painter who was doing the outside painting job spent alot of time on his handheld cell phone apparently having personal conversations while propped up on a ladder. I also discovered that he wasn't waiting the 4 hours between coats required by the manufacturer and had to point it out to him and Luis. Luis had assured me during the estimate that they followed the manufacturer reco. (I had previously experienced this problem with another painter resulting in a poor job.) Although I was home working, I had decided to be mostly hands-off on the job relying on the detailed written proposal to insure that the job was done according to specifications. The only thing I checked on was that they were using the right paint, finish and color for each element to be painted. Big mistake. When the job was done and they had left, the next day I found the remaining paint cans in the garage where I'd asked them to leave them. I discovered that they had used a latex primer rather than the specified oil-based primer on the walls. Then it hit me, I had never heard the power drill going to screw down the areas where there had been nail pops. I couldn't believe it. I was very upset. Took me several days to reach out to Luis with a detailed email expressing my grievances. Luis had told me the day they finished not to pay them, but to take a day or two to check out the work. I was glad I had that leverage. We found some spots bleeding through, a wall area missing it's second coat of paint, places where patches were not sanded enough or primed before painting so their finish was different calling attention to the patch, areas on the kitchen walls were there was still alligatored patches from previous wallpaper glue that was suppose to have been removed, and areas of trim where the paint was reflecting lack of a second coat of paint. I told Luis I wanted him to come by and see the work for himself and discuss the possible remedies. About a week later Luis met with me to review the job. He was very apologetic. For 3 weeks we lived with the main floor of our house in disarray. He brought the same painters with him and they worked through the remedies that day. He offered to completely redo the kitchen with the oil-based primer, but I agreed that fixing the areas pointed out and extending my warranty would suffice. I couldn't go another couple of days. I think Luis needs to provide better training and supervision of his workers. The workers should have gone over the details of the signed proposal with me when they arrived to make it clear they understood the requirements of the job. I also think they need to improve their English and communication skills."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.

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. 

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 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.

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.
