Dead birds in our system in the first week in the house b/c they didn't put a $3 screen in. Their engineer designed our HVAC system, we are having all sorts of issues with the temp not being right with our 2nd floor unit. It is freezing in the front bedrooms, bonus is hot as all get out. When we called, they basically said we recommended something different but "your builder said do it this way". WHY would you let a general contractor tell you what the best solution is if you are the expert?!!! Their resolution to the fix is another $1700, which if they had done it right the first time would have made sense. Additionally, we have now come to find out the HVAC system for the main floor and basement are not to code. If we have a gas leak in our appliances it will draw right into the house. They engineered this system! They said they would rig it to work, but it has to have a return in the unfinished space. Which we are now air conditioning. Forget the asthetics that the units were placed on the side of the house instead of the back. Our kitchen hood vents to the front of home on a feature stone wall and required additional soffit build out. Why not run it up the roof? And they put our dryer vent over the garage bays instead of out the roof or down and out the basement.

He came to the rescue when our builders plumber could not install the orafice on our gas dryer prior to our moving in. Even helping to move the washer into the laundry room. When we called him back he voluntarily looked over the new build plumbing and fixed several areas that were potential for future leaks due to poor installation. He quoted the work, made recommendations for fixing our issues: hard water and 10+ minutes to get hot water to the second floor. He came back quickly to do the work. He was not prepared to patch the drywall he had to cut for the pump, but otherwise cleaned up and you wouldn't have known he was there. He didn't just leave the drywall, we discussed it. Also worth mentioning, he uses email and returns voice mail, I rarely had to wait for a reply even if not urgent. He is my new plumber! Fantastic.

"This project originally began only as painting the inside of the house. Ashley and Josh came in and found so many things that needed to be fixed that would impede the sell of the house. They always notified me of the issues as they came up, but they did not pressure me into hiring them to fix anything. I really appreciated that and it is one of the things that made me decide to hire them for the entire renovation once I decided to do it. Ashley also presented a detailed, itemized invoice with every project. If there was something she knew she already had at home, such as hardware for the doors or lighting, she made sure to ask if I wanted to use that first before purchasing anything. They are very generous with their time and materials. Ashley was also honest when it came to ideas I might have about different areas and if they were worth fixing monetarily. They did not just agree to do whatever I wanted, she told me if it would be in my best interest or not to fix or leave certain things. They are extremely trustworthy and efficient. I could not recommend them enough!"

FAQs for barndominium building projects in Gretna, VA
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical. Garage remodels that include changing the roof and walls add significant expenses to the project. Plus, you can expect to pay about $1,400 for the building conversion permits. For a simple remodel, like painting interior walls and recoating the garage floor, it will cost about $2 to $5 per square foot.
