"Best fastest person have ever had and don’t plan on losing her ever . I’ve tried to find someone for 4 years as I’m very limited in what I can do and have lung disease now which means no dust and all hardwood floors & tile . She would be at top of your list if all facts known . Memory extraordinary And organizing skills excellent. I recommend her to the best of customers you need to keep or add on list . She is deserving ! I have family in real estate business , builders etc . I had family that owned a cleaning business so I know the business . Thank you for her . She works hard for my beautiful kept living environment . I can be proud of my home again. Thank you !"
"James is reliable and very professional. I would absolutely call him back to do additional work. Over the last few years he has completed a few different projects including a metal roof, he turned my carport into a two car garage and the last time he was here he screened in and covered our back porch. My wife loves it. I Highly recommend"
"Luke was a gift! I moved from Colorado into a new home in Prattville, walked in the door and immediately realized I couldn’t live with the existing DIY paint job. I called Luke’s Painting, their estimate was $1400.00 less than their competitors, he started painting two days later. Luke was professional, honest, hard working and always cognizant of the fact that I was working from home while he was painting. The finished product is amazing, a realtor commented on how clean the lines are. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Luke’s Painting!"
"I was in the process of converting a screened in porch to an all seasons sunroom. I needed someone who could install insulation under the floor as well as the attic. I tried local businesses first and could not get the response I wanted so I chose Angie's List after seeing a special.on insulation. I have never used Angie's List before so I wasn't sure what I was getting into. The results were awesome! Southern Strong Roofing, Wade James, came out and inspected the job and answered all my questions. Wade gave me an estimate that night. They did the job when they said they would and were fast and very knowledgeable. Their customer service was good too. They answered my calls or returned them promptly. I will not hesitate to use them again and will recommend them to friends and family. "
"Everything went great. The service was exactly what I asked for. The company had excellent customer service, very punctual, and always available to talk me through the work and any concern I had. Will recommend and use Muddy River again."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
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.
You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.
Your chicken coop needs to be off the ground to protect your chickens and avoid problems brought on by flooding, mud, and moisture. If you can't locate a high area to build the coop, you should build an elevated coop to ensure it stays dry.
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.
The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.
