"We hired Chad to replace the shower in one bathroom and remove the bathtub in another, replacing it with a beautiful walk-in shower. Since Chad is both a licensed plumber and contractor, the entire project was handled seamlessly from start to finish. I selected all of the materials, and Chad picked everything up for us, making the process easy and stress-free. His crew was outstanding?they worked with great attention to detail and their craftsmanship was excellent. During the project, I made several changes, including switching the faucet style and deciding to install a shower niche instead of corner shelves. Chad was incredibly patient and accommodating, making sure everything turned out exactly the way I wanted. Throughout the renovation, Chad and his crew treated our home with respect, kept the work area as clean as possible, and left everything in excellent condition when the job was complete. We are thrilled with both bathrooms and would highly recommend Chad to anyone looking fo"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

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.

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.
