"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 fantastic. They’ve remodeled, painted and maintained multiple elements of our home’s interior and exterior, including installation of numerous custom lighting fixtures, cabinetry, roofing detail and deck installation and maintenance. I love that he’s independent and thoroughly human, and just a super sweet guy as well as a highly skilled pro. I’ve also seen his work at other people’s houses including beautiful stonework and full home restoration. I’m honestly not sure what Jack and company can’t do!"

"I hired Topaz Remodeling to replace my front porch, including tearing out the damaged surface, installing a proper drain (the original builder’s oversight caused major leaks), and repairing the resulting damage to the floor, hardwood, and basement. The owner’s communication was excellent, keeping me informed about schedules and progress. They even finished ahead of the estimated timeline. Omar, the project lead, was phenomenal. His recommendations elevated the final result, and his attention to detail was unmatched. The tilework is flawless, with precise measurements ensuring a polished look. The team delivered exceptional quality, turning a stressful situation into a seamless process. My new porch is beautiful and fully functional. I highly recommend Topaz Remodeling and will gladly use them again for future projects."

"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

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

Prefab sheds can be worth it, depending on your needs and goals. If you want to build the shed yourself or have a quick project turnaround, then a prefab shed will likely be worth it. If you want something more customized, then starting from scratch may help you achieve your goals better than a prefab could.

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.

Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.

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.
