"We had PAR restore a house that flooded due to the freeze. It was EXTENSIVE. All rooms were affected. They had to replace all flooring, bathrroms and the kitchen. They had to repair and resheetrock and paint all walls. They were exceptional in their service and attention to detail. So, we hired them, again! This time they remodeled the primary bathroom in our home--new shower, cabinetry, countertops, new door openings, new tile, new paint. It's beautiful, now! You can count on Adam Grub, owner of PAR, and Roger Corbello for honesty, integrity and excellent work."

"We used him to build a custom closet and remodel a bathroom. His crew cleaned up their mess every single day and Eric made sure every detail was executed and done well. He even had his crew redo a couple of minor things that I didn’t think it needed to be redone, but he wanted everything done just right. I would definitely use him again."

"Blake did an excellent and thorough job. We had a leak that he diagnosed and fixed which ended up being a roof issue. He repaired some exterior window framing and also installed new tile floors. He is very detail oriented and his work is impeccable. I have already referred him to neighbors and will definitely use him again."

"Unique Builders and Development Inc is renowned for its exceptional and efficient services. We contacted Unique Builders with our plan to convert our attic into functional space. Ronen visited our house to assess the possibilities and offer suggestions on how to utilize the area effectively. The team was highly cooperative and flexible, readily adapting to any changes we made during the project. They made sure the construction process had minimal disruption to the rest of the house. We are extremely pleased with the final outcome of our project and now have a valuable living area where we used to have an unfinished attic."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Depending on your needs, you may find a storebought pole barn is a much less expensive option than a custom-built one. You can find pole barn kits from big box retailers starting at $11,000, but you will be limited when it comes to size and add-on features. As long as you have the necessary skills, you can save on labor costs by doing it yourself; but there are a lot of different skill sets you would need, and mistakes during the building process can lead to excessive repair bills later.

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.

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.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.
