"The Thermal Home Exterior's friendly and professional crew arrived as scheduled and the roofing job was completed like a well oiled machine. The entire job was completed within 7 hours. The service provided was fast and very efficient. The roof looks great and carries the GAF liftetime warranty. I would certainly recommend this company."

"I hired Repair Pros for major roof work on a large 2-story Victorian home with an old tin roof. They did such an excellent job with the roof and repairs to the built-in gutters, i hired them a second time to repair all the soffits. I was extremely pleased with the professional work from the owner of the company and his crew. They'll definitely be my first choice when i need any further projects done!"

"We originally hired a different company who caused damage to my house and none of their work passed inspection. Virginia Home Renovations not only fixed the extensive damage caused by the first company but did an amazing job finishing the renovations we wanted in the first place! I'm soooooo happy with my home now!"

"This job was scheduled to take two days to complete.  The crew started work on 2/27/12 at 3:00pm and finished around 5:30pm but promised to start the next day at 9:00 or 9:30am.  On 2/28/12 the crew started at 11:30am but stated the job would be completed at the end of the day.  The crew stopped working at 4:15pm and the job was not completed. No work could be performed on 2/29/12  because it rained all day.  The job was completed on 3/1/12.  I was pleased with the finished product but I was very disappointed with the  responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism that the crew exhibited.  Chris is a professional businessman  and I enjoyed his presentation.  I gave him the job based on favorable comments from a prior customer on Angie's list.  Unfortunately Chris was not doing the work, his crew did not share the same professionalism."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

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.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.
