"I had Chad come out to price a remodel project and from start to finish he did what he said he was going to do. No hidden costs, no surprises. He has integrity and is a true craftsman. If you're looking for a Contractor that you can trust to do what he says and says what's he'll do than this is your guy. It's hard to find someone you can trust especially with your home but I can tell you first hand Chad is someone you can trust! Good luck but I'd hire him for anything he says he can do."

"Matt is exceptional when it comes to home renovations, whether it's electrical work, lighting, or interior and exterior repairs. He helped me with a range of condo renovations in preparation for my home sale, and his work significantly increased the property's value. Thanks to his expertise, the sale went smoothly and successfully. I would highly recommend Matt for any construction project, big or small."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. 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 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.

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.

Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
