"After several years of Manfredia's Carpentry doing projects at my home, there is no other company I trust more. Attention to detail, superior work ethic, and, quite frankly, a pleasure to have in or around the house with their professional and friendly ways. I can always trust in the crews and their workmanship. They just finished putting in a glass sliding door, and have completely redone my basement walls, floors, windows and plumbing. Absolutely the best. HIRE THEM."

"Fantastic. Jonathan knows what he’s doing, very precise with measurements, and has a wide range of abilities. So friendly and personable. He helped transform our new build house into a finished home. He is able to install many things, curtain rods, ceiling shower rods, heavy mirrors, heavy art work, and now is tackling adding wire rack shelves in our closets. Next up some Ikea cabinets in our laundry, and painting our garage. His prices are up front and very reasonable. He is licensed and insured. We feel he is quite a gem to have found! Would not hesitate to hire him again and again. He is very positive, eager to work and does excellent work."

"Work was fantastic. Response time was immediate. They came to house to give quote I accepted and they began work immediately finished the job in one day and just needed to stop in 2 consecutive days in the morning to finalize as the patch work needed to dry. Repair was a 4’ tall by 3’ wide upside down T shape draywall removed due to leaking plumbing. Wall had curve and needed to match perfectly for trim to fit back on and not show the lines of new drywall. Wall looks as good as new and no repair can be seen after painting. Could not be happier with the entire experience."

"I called Merryfield's Construction Group a few weeks ago about a gutter repair. My call was returned promptly and George came out within a day or two for an estimate. He gave me an estimate for a repair that was very reasonable. Since he didn't try to sell me on new gutters, which I saw as real honesty, I decided to ask for a price for all new gutters. I should say that I don't like trying to be sold on things that I don't ask for. Since he didn't do this, I appreciated it and decided to ask him about it. George looked over my home and gave me what I thought to be a very fair price for all new gutters and to remove and take away the old ones. I agreed on the spot and gave him a deposit. The company called within two weeks and set up a day for the install. The came on the day they said promptly, first thing in the morning. They completed the work in only a few hours. Cleaned everything up and took all the old gutters away. They did a great job and I wold recommend them to anyone in the future.

"I have a 100+-year-old greenhouse on my property that was in total disrepair. Several builders refused to do the project because it would be too much work. Mike, not only agreed to do the project but he gave us a reasonable price. He offered his professional opinion on areas of concern and actively listened to our wants. He did what we requested even if it made the project harder for him. He was reliable and even showed up to work in 20-degree weather and pouring rain. The project did not go as quickly as he had planned due to supply chain issues but it still was finished in a reasonable amount of time. I am very pleased with the completed project. Repairs were: new roof on garage and shed attached to greenhouse, new shelving inside, new plexiglass and wood frame for greenhouse with custom ventilation, upgraded electric, and plumbing, new doors including custom garage door, cinder block wall repair, removal of old heater. Would definitely hire him again."

"Desmond Sheerin is an excellent businessman and tradesman.  He came to my home to discuss a major renovation project I am moving towards.  You could tell instantly that he knew his business and he was someone with integrity.  He educated me with my concerns and provided me with a detailed proposal.  He then followed up more than once only to see if there was anything he could help me with.  A true professional and good man.  I highly recommend him.  When the time comes i will be sure to think of Desmond Sheerin first."

"This is the second time I have used Nolan and their professionalism and responsiveness is amazing, along with the quality of work. I used to look for cheaper painters but after so many terrible experiences, I'm sticking with Nolan. From the estimators, to the office coordinator, crew leaders and crew members, they take pride in customer service!"

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.
