"All Pro Builders in Telford, TN is an amazing company. Brett, Roy, & Joey are professional Christian men who get the job done. They drove quite a distance to my house to remodel my bathroom. They are all friendly and polite, always checked with me before each task. I am very pleased with the results! I highly recommend All Pro Builders! I have already contracted them for more home improvements. I love my new bathroom!!"

"Blue Star helped repair our deck after a tree fell on it this past summer and destroyed the stairs and landing. Their team did great work and built the staircase back better than it was before. I especially like how they used 2 inch material for the stair treads instead of that typical stair tread stuff. His price was very fair and once they started, the project went very quickly. Like ANY building project, there were a few unexpected things that happened along the way, but each time Jacob went the extra mile to make things right. I know Blue Star has seen some negative reviews but our experience in December ‘22 and January ‘23 has been very positive. We are super happy with the new stairs and I’ll probably have them tackle our kitchen remodel next."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

Skid foundations, deck block foundations, and concrete block foundations are the most affordable shed foundation options. Of these, we recommend deck blocks. Deck blocks are easy to install and level, and they raise your shed up off the ground to prevent rotting from exposure to water and moisture. Keep in mind that deck blocks won’t resist soil movement or frost heave, so they’re not ideal in areas with expansive soil or a deep frost line.
