"Thrilled! That’s how I describe the outcome of the home remodel we recently completed with Johnson Custom Builders. The overall remodel took just over 4 months and included completely renovating the kitchen, dining room, living room, and family room. We started the project over 2 years ago with another custom design firm and spent 18 strenuous months trying to finalize the design. Having gone through the design process we knew the original firm was not who we wanted to work with during the next phase of the project, so we started interviewing custom builders. After talking to several we came across Ryan Johnson, owner and operator of Johnson Custom Builders. He immediately stood out from others by being clear, concise, thorough, and detail oriented. We did our due diligence by checking references and reviewing past projects to confirm Johnson Custom Builders was our choice. The last thing we wanted to do was repeat the painful experience we endured with the original firm. As expected, we had to wait to get the project started. Pre-COVID, no quality builder had immediate availability. All were booked several months out, and Johnson Home Builders was no exception. Fortunately for us, Ryan used that time to become intimately familiar with our design and bring several new ideas to the table that allowed us to overcome the shortcomings we had accepted in the original design. We were pleasantly surprised by Ryan’s design skills. Even though he specializes as a builder, he brought several excellent ideas to the table that utilized practicality while meeting our demand for a modern/rustic PNW look. Never did he push us to simply make a decision so he could stay on track. Throughout the process he guided us by providing options, trade-offs, and setting realistic expectations while allowing us time to digest the information and select what we wanted based on budget and functionality. Communication is paramount to the success of any project. This is no secret, but often diminishes over time and results in missed expectations and failed projects. Being a detailed person myself, the one thing I appreciated most about Ryan’s style and approach was his dedication to weekly, on-site, status meetings and written status reports. These two things eliminated the ambiguity of where we were at in the process, what decisions needed to be made by us as the homeowners, which decisions were final, and what to expect next. The notes were simple, concise, and proved to be extremely valuable throughout the project. The quality of the final product is a culmination of the skill, attention to detail, and quality of materials used to build it. We only influenced the materials with our budget. Ryan and his trades brought the skill and attention to detail to the project. Having closely monitored the quality throughout the project, we found very few issues and the few items we did find were handled immediately by Ryan and the team with no hesitation. Now that the project has completed and we were able to fully move back into our home, we couldn’t be happier. The end result is stunning! The quality of work that Ryan and his skilled team of trades produced is amazing. Friends and family that have seen our new home are amazed at the transformation. It’s clear that Ryan and the Johnson Custom Builders Team takes pride in what they do. I highly recommend JHB to anyone who is looking for a quality, reputable builder that will listen, guide and deliver the home of your dreams."

"Jack and his crew are incredibly nice, knowledgeable, skilled, and easy to work with. They did a fantastic job, and were so respectful of our home! I hardly knew they were here half the time, they were so low-key. We had them do the baseboards and outer door frames on our living, dining, and hallway areas. We'd refinished the wood floors over the summer, and hadn't gotten around to painting and installing the new trim, and finally just realized we didn't want to do it ourselves, and hired it out. They completed the work yesterday, which was well in line with our agreements, and it turned out beautifully! I just walked down the hall, and said internally, "Wow, this looks so great." ? My partner said the same thing when he got home and inspected it. We're both impressed and pleased with it, and Isaac's attention to detail, and willingness to be super diligent for me, were highly valuable! We are already planning to hire them again, to do the trim in the kitchen, and replace a window in the garage that is broken. I highly recommend Jack, Isaac, and Josh."

"So thankful to have Tom’s help throughout the years. He has been working for our family for over eight years, on three different houses in many different capacities. Tom’s attention to detail and problem solving work ethic always result in the highest quality finishes and solutions. Whether working in the capacity of handyman, general contractor, or house manager, Tom has always good-naturedly taken it upon himself to aid us, whatever our needs might be. Investigating different projects/options on our behalf. Concisely presenting them to us and then carrying them thru to completion. As we live out of town six months a year Tom’s oversight of our property gives us great comfort knowing that our home is well cared for in our absence. Trust me, if you hire Tom, you will be very happy you did so!"

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The steep slope of an A-frame roof withstands high winds, heavy rain, and heavy snowfall, making them popular all over the world. A-frames also offer simple, quick construction. Finally, an A-frame typically has large windows on the non-roof sides to let in a maximum amount of natural light. Consequently, they are often an affordable building solution for the right homeowner and location.

You may need a local building permit and written permission from your homeowner’s association to install a shed, especially if you’re doing any substantial land clearing or installing electricity or plumbing. Permit requirements vary between municipalities, so research the local laws before starting your project. If you hire a contractor to build the shed, they can help determine which permits will be necessary.

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.

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 a romantic getaway in a vacation treehouse may sound appealing, building one to live in year-round comes with more challenges. However, a growing number of people are adopting this small-scale living approach to appreciate an off-the-grid, private lifestyle. It allows you to feel closer to nature in a sustainable, customizable, minimalist, and eco-friendly way.
