"The workmanship that goes into Gabâ s work is incredible. He has done numerous projects here at my home, from a beautiful barn overhang to an entire storage building. The latest project was a custom front deck. It added so much to the house and is so beautiful. He pays attention to the little details and takes great pride in his work. I am so beyond happy with the new deck and the work that he does. Cannot recommend this company enough!"

"I would highly recommend Branner Builders. They did an outstanding job on the demolition. I had an old trailer and some trees that needed to be removed. The lot is now clear and ready for my new house. Thanks to Mike and his crew for a job well done!"

"Brilliant job! David Lambert working with Walter Miranda’s crew did a superlative job. Walter figured a way to use less Trex on my deck and so $4000 was removed from my bill. Great communication with David Lambert on costed and job specifications. We got exactly what we wanted in a short amount of time. Tremendous work ethic from the crew. We are quite pleased. We want to reno the basement to a mother in law apartment and we will be contacting David for that in the near future."

"It went awesome from start to finish and we could not be happier with the finished product! Just like last time when they built our custom deck and screened in porch! Troy is a true Craftsman and always does exactly what he says he's going to do without ever trying to cut corners! If we had one message to tell to other people who's looking for a contractor It would have to be not to hesitate on hiring Troy for your project!"

"Paolo, Mario and Sal did an exceptional job on my home remodeling. They have personal and professional integrity and I will use their services and recommend them without hesitation. They showed up on time and cleaned up when they left each day. Paolo came over immediately after my initial call and had an acceptable estimate the very next day. I am so very happy with their work and they are an amazing bunch of guys on every level. I can't sing their praises highly enough!"

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.

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.

The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.

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.

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.
