"Hired Luis on a Saturday and he came out on Monday and had the projects done in 2 days. The best estimate of 5 companies and most knowledgeable of all the contractors that came to our house. We had sod installed in 3 yards, a concrete patio, and concrete steps made for our garage. Luis went above and beyond! Not only did he replace and raise some of our sprinklers, but he also helped us pick out the type of grass to install and the finish on the concrete that would look best for the patio. We had to leave for a while and had mentioned we had to pull the tarp out of the pool and when we came back Luis already had pulled it out for us! None of this was in the estimate, yet Luis took it upon himself to help us out at no charge. We are hiring Luis again to do some inside construction. If you want a contractor that calls back, shows up, is extremely knowledgeable, does excellent work, and provides excellent customer service then call Luis! Thanks, Luis! Michael and Julie"

"Christopher was amazing. Showed up on time, worked ALL day, went above and beyond in rebuilding my deck - doubling it in size and painting it also, at NO extra cost from his estimate. I would 100% recommend him for any job, and will have him back to do more for me. His estimate was half of two others. Can't say enough about how happy I am with Christopher, owner of Tiny Living Golden Concept. My search for a fair, honest, reliable handyman to help me with my aging house is over."
"Excellent! The professionals showed up early every day and worked later than I would have expected. They cleaned the site everyday and were so kind. I would hire them and will hire them again!"
"We went with someone else, but they were very good. We were very happy with them, but we didn't end up going with them because we went with a friend of a friend."
"Jose was very professional and did an excellent job. We had 2 exterior doors installed plus a security screen door and molding put on the doors plus a 3rd inside door molding and threshold. The only thing I would say he was delayed and forgot to let us know. But it turned out great and we love our doors! Will hire him again! Thanks Jose!"
"I needed a garden path from my house to my art studio, and I wanted it to match the concrete path already going from my house to the garage. Not a big job, but American Concrete Construction was willing to take it on. Their main guy, Sinisia Moli, came right out one day to evaluate the job, then returned the next day to survey, dig out the path, frame it, and put in rebar. Cement was poured the following day. And now I have my garden path. Which, incidentally, matches the other, much older path perfectly. ... Sinisia Moli of American Concrete Construction is a man of experience, good aesthetics, and common sense. He is also friendly, upbeat, and generally a pleasure to have around. Best of all, unlike so many of his colleagues who work in various construction trades, Moli talks to women. He doesn’t insist on talking to your husband. ... I am definitely keeping American Concrete Construction in mind for future projects."
"Rubin came out to look at the job and discussed an additional job I was considering. He did not send the estimate for the second job, but then did communicate the information to me when he came out to do the first job. Rubin was very professional, personable and a clear communicator. I had purchased and Angie Big Deal of three hours for $99 dollars expecting the job would require an additional 1-2 hours. His estimate and final price came out about what I expected. His work was very good. I will have him back to do the second job of refinishing the walls in the bathroom."
Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.
Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.
Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations.
The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.
While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell.
