"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"I am extremely happy with the gutters and downspouts that Rife Remodeling and Flooring installed. They exceeded all my expectations regarding: 1. Cost 2. Time 3. Look/function 4. Honesty/integrity They completed the job same day, were professional, courteous, and trustworthy. The crew for Rife Remodeling and Flooring were left unattended with full access to the property and it's contents. When we got home that evening, the job was done, and they had completely cleaned up after themselves and left no debris in the yard or driveway. I will be a returning customer and would recommend them to anyone for any of your home repair needs."
"Not only did they do a great job but they had innovative ideas saving us time and money. They were always courteous, polite, and professional and included us in all aspects of work being preformed. They cleaned up after every job in detail. We will definitely hire them back in the future for more work and highly recommend them to anyone needing home improvement or repairs. They were organized and any changes we requested they were willing to abide by."
"Chase arrived on time was ready to work, eager to please, and the service went beyond my expectations. Very appreciative of the hard work and customer service. Would hire again."
"Exceptional service! We originally called Steve to ask if he could tell us if a certain wall was load bearing, as we'd never had to make that determination before, and didn't want to risk making a mistake if we took on the project ourselves. He said he could, and we arranged a time for him to come to our house. He was prompt, friendly, and professional, and he took a look at the wall (plus another one that we were also considering removing), and let us know that one was safe to remove, while the other wasn't. We thanked him, and asked how much we owed him for his expert advice. He said that we didn't owe him anything. Since that was the only reason he'd come to our house, we were really amazed. Out of curiosity, we asked him how much he would charge to take down the wall and get it ready for paint. He said he'd put together a quote and let us know. We heard back from him the same day with a quote of $1200, and said it would probably take a couple of days to complete the project. We asked if he had a military discount, and he said he'd see what he could do. We heard back from him very quickly, and he said he could give us a military rate of $1100. We decided we were better off hiring him than doing the work ourselves, and made arrangements for him to come out in a week, when he had free space in his schedule. However, a couple of days later, he called and said that upcoming rain had delayed another project, and he asked if we'd like him to come out earlier. We said that would be great, and set up a time. He arrived promptly on time, did the work quickly, kept our home as clean as possible during the project, and cleaned up after himself when he left. He worked essentially 2 1/2 full days, then came back in the evening on a 3rd day to finish sanding after the mud on the drywall was dry. His work and professionalism were exceptional. We also asked him to take a look at an outdoor faucet, which he took apart and then explained which piece was broken and needed replaced. He was willing to do the work, but explained how we could do it ourselves. Because he didn't actually repair the faucet, he again refused to charge us for his advice. The same was true for a couple of other issues in the house--he evaluated them, and told us how to fix them, then refused payment for the advice. He was certainly willing to do the work; he just wasn't going to act like it was something that wasn't simple for us to do on our own. We would absolutely hire him again. He was prompt, honest, set a fair price, and did great work. He was also an absolute pleasure to do business with. "
"Cougar Development did an excellent job creating a living space out of an addition to a home built in 1918. The drywall work was excellent as was the placing of needed electrical outlets and ceiling fan/lighting. Closet space is extremely hard to come by in our neighborhood and Cougar was able to build a 30 sq ft closet that our growing family is able to take advantage of. This room was just a storage space and is now a usable living area after Cougar was done with it. The quality of work for the price I paid was amazing! I have already recommended Cougar to those in my neighborhood and will continue to do so!"
"Anthony is a true craftsman with a respectful, earnest, and honest approach to his customers. We were impressed with the quality of his work, his innovative solutions, and his punctuality. Highest rating possible for this young man who honors his profession."
"It was 2 brothers who showed up and they were so nice. They were quick but did a great job! They even painted more than I expected - I would definitely hire them for more painting and other home improvement jobs! "

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.
Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.
Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
