"I hired Austin who owns/works with A+ Maintenance to paint the living room in my $700K home. My living room is not just four walls and a ceiling; it has 10 lumens in each door of French doors going into a formal sitting room, another door with 15 lumens going into my home office, a brick fireplace from floor to ceiling, a door-sized window with French door-style plantation shutters looking out onto my patio, and another door going into my kitchen. It has beautiful base and crown molding around the entire room, befitting of a home of this quality. Austin and his partner, Steven, took on all of the challenges, they listened well to what I wanted, they asked the right questions, they communicated extremely well with me and each other, and 5 working days later, they delivered to me a product that is absolutely stunning in its appearance and a room that I am extremely proud of. The walls are without any blemishes, the moldings, the French doors, the louvers on the plantation shutters, the brick fireplace, and the other doors are all gorgeous and finished at a level that simply elevates the entire home. I would absolutely recommend these two professional painters to anyone for any painting project they need to have done in their home. I enjoyed having them in my own home and will call on them again to do future projectsâ ¦"

"Excellent job. In addition to installing the flooring, he painted the whole house and rebuilt the fence. We placed the house on the market on a Friday after the jobs were completed and it sold on the following Tuesday."

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.

If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations. 

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

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.
