"Working with Maison was better than we could have imagined. My husband and I usually do most home projects on our own since we have heard horror stories about working with contractors. But our project involved creating an opening and stairs into the garage from the main house to the unfinished space above our garage. This was not something we could do ourselves not with juggling work and kids. Originally, the space above the garage could only be accessed by deck stairs outside. This was not ideal for us. We have three boys and did not want them to have to go outside to get to this room. We wanted to create a recreation room for this space, a place for our family to hang out. We had multiple area contractors come to give us a quote. Most of them did not want to tackle doing the stairs. They offered to finish the room but not do the stairs. Either we would not hear back from them, or they gave us quotes that were enough to build a brand-new house. We had given up hope on finding a contractor, so we decided just to contract somebody to do the stairs, and we would do the rest ourselves. Initially, we were asking Ken for a quote just for the stairs. But he wanted to do the whole job. Our first impression of Ken was that he was a good guy, so we took a leap of faith because we had become very skeptical of all contractors at that point. Maison pleasantly surprised us. Their work was ahead of schedule and meticulous. Ken and his crew were professional and a pleasure to work with. They exceeded our expectations. They were mindful to our work and family schedule. We would not hesitate to use them again. We recommend them for any home project you may have."

"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."

"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!"

"I have heard so many remodeling horror stories. From the moment we spoke to Gerardo and his team, I knew I had made the right choice. The results are beyond my dreams. I feel ulike I moved into a brand new home. We renovated my childhood home into our retirement haven. Yaya Contracting did not miss a single detail. They worked with an engineer to make sure we had no structural issues in the future. They went above and beyond what we expected. The design team helped us coordinate tiles, carpet and wood flooring. Gerardo and his team listened to our needs and made sure the job was done to perfection. I highly recommend Yaya Contracting!!!"

"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."

"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."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

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.

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

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.
