"John and his sons, Alex and Michael, helped us with our window project. They replaced 8 openings and 1 patio door. John was able to help us with our custom requests and he made sure each window was done right. The windows and the custom inside/outdoor trim they installed look great! John's customer service was excellent. He was prompt and responsive. He helped us narrow down exactly what we wanted and provided multiple quotes. Thank you JW Construction for helping us with this project."

"Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Brent had lots of ideas for details I hadn’t thought of and took pictures I liked and made it come to life on our walls. Amazing! We couldn’t be happier with our finished home"

"The R and C team did a great job on my flooring project. The bid was much lower than the final expense but the job was tricky and much unknown until farther into it. No complaints with the service, execution or final expense. The team was very friendly and communicative."

"RT Handyman did an excellent job creating the vision we had for our main level remodel. TJ is very detail oriented and a perfectionist! He walked us through each area of the remodel to discuss details including price, time for completion and what to expect throughout the process. RT Handyman and their crew were very respectful of our home and very clean. Every day their work area was cleaned and I never had to worry about kids or dogs getting hurt or stepping into a mess. We LOVE our remodel and TJ's work is truly amazing! I would absolutely recommend RT Handyman for any home project."

"It's been hard to find someone who works as hard and efficiently as I do, but it's not an overstatement to say Ernest does even better work. He did such a good job I hired him full time to flip my duplex paid him more than I thought I would pay anyone, but It didn't matter because work got done twice as fast. I will definitely be giving him a call once I'm ready to remodel another home!"

"I hired Julius Construction bc I had a lot of remodeling I needed done in a short amount of time. Slade was great about understanding my ideas and even helped with ideas. He worked well in my short time frame and we were able to move in to our home on schedule. The communication was great! Knowing we would have answered calls was very comforting! Will definitely call him if we need more work done!!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment. 

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

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. 

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.
