"This is the second big project we've done with REO Service Pro. They finished our basement a few years ago. Both projects were done with quality and professionalism. Gary is very easy to work with. He listens and offers suggestions when needed or appropriate. I also used an interior designer with whom he worked with ease. We had an aggressive time frame for this project and it was met. Our two favorite things about working with Gary and his crew are 1) their quickness in responsiveness and 2) quality control. On multiple occasions I witnessed Gary instructing a crew member to "rip it out and start all over". In our experience with house projects, that is a rarity. Most contractors are okay with mediocre work to save time and effort. As a result, the end product was great. In terms of cost, they may not be your cheapest bid but they won't be your most expensive either. The investment is worth it. I highly recommend REO Service Pro."

"My husband and I live in a historic rowhome, and we were very nervous about finding a company we could trust to give us what we wanted but also know what would work in our house. We interviewed a few companies, and VKB was exactly what we were looking for. Calvin, our designer, came to our house, listened to my ideas, and thoroughly examined the space. A few days later, we met with him and Sean in the showroom to see what they envisioned (a lot like these HGTV shows where you get the hypothetical 3D layout). I felt like they had read my mind. We loved the proposal, so we went ahead and picked cabinets, tile, hardware, etc. that day! The project started within a week or two. Jason, the project manager, came by frequently and made sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed. On days when I didn't see him, he called to keep me updated and to make sure I was satisfied with the progress. The workers were very respectful of our home, protecting our furniture and floors and keeping the house as clean as possible. We had a few minor issues along the way (very minor compared to most renos) but Jason was quick to address them and make sure things went smoothly. The quality of their work is excellent. Overall, we are very satisfied and would recommend VKB to anyone looking for a design-to-build company."

"We are a repeat customer of Adam Contracting and will continue to use the company. They have done an excellent job on everything we've hired them to do; this project was no exception. The room looks great! For this project, Adam Contracting redid wainscotting in the room and added a shelf, did wall repair, installed crown molding, painted the walls and trim, and installed a light fixture."

"“I strongly recommend JW Home Improvement for all home repair and renovation needs. Over the past few weeks we have had various projects completed, including, exhaust fan installation, stairwell repair, dry wall repair, exterior dormer and trim replacement and gutter/downspout painting. All of the technicians were friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, respectful, highly skilled and operated efficiently to finish ahead of scheduled time. Pedro, Kevin and Antonio in particular were exceptional in going above and beyond to produce truly beautiful work. The craftsmanship and precision displayed by these technicians was extraordinary and they were an absolute pleasure to have in my home.”"

"From beginning to end Mike Butterbaugh from Home Remedies was simply awesome with renovating our two bathrooms! We live in a Townhome in Northern Virginia and the bathrooms needed to be stripped down completely with totally new Flooring, Painting, Sink, Toilets, and Showerheads. Mike's attention to detail, consistent follow-through, and consistent communication with updates on any issues is extremely rare in our experience when it comes to contractors! Indeed, we feel blessed and fortunate to have him as he is a refreshing change! Mike was always considerate of all our needs but also is adept at striking a balance with making suggestions/recommendations without being crass or arrogant. Mike's very strong philosophy that "he will do his jobs right" is spot on as he is beyond thorough and he takes serious pride in everything he touches. Our true barometer is the finished product and the bathrooms are excellent! Additionally, we are using Home Remedies for other needed jobs in our home (rafters, storm door etc.) In closing, we are referring Mike to multiple friends and neighbors and all we can say is if you are seeking a truly dedicated Professional Contractor who is not trying to rip you off, look nowhere else but Home Remedies! Mike will do the job right and does not accept mediocrity!"

"Oscar is the only one I go to for home repair needs. He is reasonable, thorough, does great work, and is punctual. Every thing you ask for in a contractor. I have worked with him for over 9 years now. He has installed an egress window in my basement, fixed a concrete slab issue I had with another contractor, and is currently working on painting our front, foyer, & basement drywall repair. He has also done great work for my mother in law on many occasion. He NEVER disappoints."

"I hired RLD Builders to construct a retaining wall that needed replaced before we could repave the driveway. RLD Builders came in with a competitive price and won the job. What was to take a few weeks turned into a three month ordeal. The county permit process caused hurdle after hurdle to get the permits but Rafe kept on the county and we finally got the permits and the job was completed to our satisfaction. We then put the house on the market for sale and had moved to our new out-of-the-area location. The hot water tank in the basement decided to let loose causing major damage to the basement. This is where RLD Builders exceeded our expectations. Rafe and his crew jumped in and cleaned up the water damage, worked with the insurance agents to get approvals, and completely rebuilt our basement. Being that we were no longer in the area, it was a blessing to have RLD Builders on the job to take care of all the details. We couldn't have done it without them. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE ! ! !"

"We had an excellent experience from the first meeting to discuss options, to the decision to purchase, to the build. The shed build was easily scheduled and completed within one day. The value for the cost is better than we could have hoped. Highly recommend them for shed building."

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.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.
