"They are currently finishing paint/staining our home, but I decided to go ahead and write my review since I received a request for information about their decking services. We are extremely happy with everything that's been done. We had the outside of our rough-sawn cedar redone with solid color stain, and the wood screen porch/deck sealed. They sprayed most of the rough-sawn cedar siding, which covered so much better than we'd done with rolling previously, and they were extremely careful about overspray. They even painted our gutter to match, but always checked anything first to make sure it was what we wanted. I figured the screen porch would have to be cleared of furniture, etc. to clean the outside, but they told me I didn't need to. I wondered if it they'd still get the black mildew off. It looked even better than I hoped, the wood looked nearly brand new! They know how to pressure wash! (I've tried it myself before, and wound up with 'fuzzy' wood.) They're currently working on sealing the wood surfaces such as screened porch, deck and railing. As happy as we are with everything done so far, we can't wait to see the 'finished product'! I will update when all is done, but we already know we will definitely be calling R&R for our next project! "
"My experience with Horner Construction and Design was very positive. After reaching out to Brad Horner and receiving a quote, we continued to correspond back and forth for several months with questions I had. Once I decided to use Horner Construction, I was provided a detailed contract that showed what products would be used and the cost of each. The craftsmen who work for BHC&D were very knowledgeable, professional and invested in the final product being quality work. They removed all old decking, support post and handrails and hauled them away. The deck/screened porch they built was exactly what I envisioned. It looks as though it was an original deck and roof, not an addition. The original deck size was 12' x 34', and approximately 12' from ground level. The finished product is a 12' x 22' screened porch and a 12' x 12' open deck. They custom make the screen panels, which I like because I didn't want a screen kit that would reduce the size of the panels or have metal framing attached to the wood deck. The screen panels are 8' wide and very taunt. The screens are stretched from the decking to the roof. They installed 8 recessed LED lights and a ceiling fan. They were not the cheapest of estimates that I received when getting quotes, but I was focused on getting a high quality product because I see this as an investment on my home. I would recommend Horner Construction & Design to my friends and family."
"Luke called immediately after request to schedule. Timing worked out perfectly - the next 2 days. He arrived on time, painted 2 separate stairways with very high walls on day 1 and then day 2 painted our living room very high ceilings. Overall, could not have had a better experience. Will definitely hire again and highly recommend."
"James was professional, punctual, and did a great job on the projects I needed done. Will be hiring him again for more renovations in the near future. Recommend highly."
"I highly recommend Edwards Installation. I have used them many times over the last few years to install the dishwashers and above-range microwaves in the homes I remodel. He’s always professional, does an excellent job and cleans up after he’s finished."
"Started out hiring someone to mow my yard, but turned into them staining my fence as well. They did an outstanding job on both! you can hire them with the confidence that they will go the extra mile to see to it that your projects are done correctly. Hire with confidence. I will use them again."

"We were very impressed with Wallins contracting. Very kind and helpful. He was very kind and prompt and very efficient! Our floors turned out beautiful! Highly recommend!"
"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
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.
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.
Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.
