"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Service from Start to Finish! Great customer service! I received a quote quickly and was able to schedule a same-day installation. The technician arrived on time and did an outstanding job installing the entertainment cabinet. I was so impressed with the quality of his work and professionalism that I also had him install a Ring floodlight camera. Highly recommend their services!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a great experience with Tony and his workers. Our house is older and didn't have bathroom fans. The humidity in the rooms were terrible when showering and the fans work great to clear out this humidity. The workers installed the fans, switches, and roof ventilation and cleaned up nicely after themselves. It looks like our bathrooms have always had them. We have had yet another win with using Tony on our home repairs. Big or small jobs are easily tackled by him and his crew."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.

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.

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.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best.
