"Everything was great! John was very responsive and flexible in speaking with me about my items in need of repair in the evening hours. We settled on 8AM next day for an on-site inspection of the items in question to provide a quote. John arrived after the scheduled time; however, he promptly notified me of the delay and called upon arrival which I appreciate. John was thorough, timely in completing repairs, and took great care while in my home to leave it better than he found it and followed COVID protocol in wearing a mask. I will definitely be calling on Jopat General Contracting for future projects."

"Tip top is an excellent company. I did not know there were still firms out there that took customer service as seriously as they do. They went above and beyond what most would have done to help me make my dream a reality. Their work was outstanding . They finished in two days and left my driveway as neat as they found it. I would highly recommend this company."

"I have actually just finished my second problem project with Smitty’s. He is not only very affordable, but very professional punctual and his work as exquisite. I plan on using him for all of my projects and I’m very thankful that I found him. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job than he has done on these projects he has done for me. I’ve been a homeowner for over 40 years and had a lot of work done and he has been absolutely the best."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.
