"I give them an "A" for responsiveness and professionalism. Their pricing structure is hourly based vs. project based, so it is difficult to compare them if you are gathering multiple estimates. This was not a good fit for me for this particular job. Estimates are not free. I would consider them for smaller jobs that I do not have time for."

"I have worked with Tony on several projects ranging from as small a punch list of repairs for a homeowner selling a property and as large as a full renovation where we completely remodel the entire home literally from top to bottom. Every time he is punctual and does quality within our deadlines. There is no job too small or too big that him and his team can’t handle!!!"

"Extremely professional owner and crew. Excellent quality of work. Did what they were supposed to when they were supposed to. Surprized there was no extraneous damage to my grass. Very detail oriented. Cleaned everything up well. Finished products were beyond my expectations. Friendly, responsive workers. Recommended some "tweaks" that worked out great!"

"The initial meeting was set for 7 August 2015 at 8:30 AM. George arrived promptly on time. He was very professional and  explained  his plan of action.  He contacted me a few days later with his estimates for the two jobs and I felt the estimates were very reasonable so the first job was scheduled for August 14th. George and his team arrived on time and  and proceeded to set about prepping the area, and replaced the damaged material, tape, mud and cleaned the area leaving no dust, and bits of ceiling material from the floor.  George said that he would be back the next morning to finish the job by sanding down the joints. He arrived the next morning at the time specified and finish the sanding, perform clean up and then set up the job for the kitchen ceiling. We scheduled the job for Friday Sept. 11th.  2015  at 9 AM.  As I had come to expect, George and his team arrived at 8:45 AM,  and proceed to prep the damaged ceiling for repair. Both jobs were excellent and very professionally done.  I would use George and his company again due to the professionalism and the work that they provide.

Pole Barn Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. 

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

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.

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.
