"They make life easy and projects exceptional. Grateful to have them in Lexington, SC! We worked with Palmetto Renovations from fall of 2023 through February of this year and we should have connected with their design specialty showroom and staff years ago as our home has never looked better. Our kitchen finally features real stone quartzite with a blend of stunning LVP waterproof flooring, elegant tiled backsplash and an entirely new lighting system from chandeliers to the under cabinet lighting. They replaced a window in the bay area to match the exterior clad. All trim was stained and by the time things were wrapped up, there were no imperfections to even address. It was an experience to brag about."

"Barrs Woodworking gave me a quote I loved, and we started working together right away. Got the fence and siding fixed up in a few days and looks great! I cant even tell where the siding came off the house at all! Owner was pleasant to deal with and kept me in the loop each step of the way."

"Kyle did an outstanding job painting the interior trim after we just had our floors redone. He also painted an entire wall for us and did an excellent job on that as well. Would hire again without a doubt and would recommend to anyone. Very detail oriented!"

"Mack designed, ordered materials, provided labor and finished the job in a timely manner (2 weeks and 3 days). 
I paid 1/3 up front, 1/3 when the walls and ceiling was complete and the final 1/3 when I was completely satisfied with the results. 
I did go down to the county office to purchase the building permit. "

"I first met Scott with this company when he was doing my parents home and my mom was raving about his work. Later on, he had done one of their friends homes as well remodeling their kitchen. Well, when I noticed the bottom of my shower cracked I knew exactly who to call and was pleased with him as well! He is able to take an idea and expand on it making it better than my original one. He is an artist when it comes to his work. He was able to save me some money by getting me a deal on a certain type of tile and allowing me to upgrade from the pre fab type stuff I already had in my house. I am soo planning on a major project to my kitchen soon and will be calling on this company again.

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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 may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
