"Mr. Workman installed a bathroom fan/light/heater in my home. I cannot say enough good things about this gentleman. He works nonstop, is knowledgeable on so many levels, and his workmanship is very impressive. He is neat and a complete professional. Cecil has painted several bedrooms and installed ceiling fans for me. He also put a heat resistant film on my storm door which required an exceptional amount of patience. A better worker you will not find!"

"Kevin Martin and his crew of Amish builders did a marvelous job in construction of our 24’ x 32’ pole barn. We had to wait a few months for them to get started because they are very busy due to their excellent reputation. This is a good reason!"

"I did not use this contractor to do the job after all. Their estimate was very expensive and more than I wanted to spend at the time. However, I know they would have done a wonderful job. They were very friendly and professional. Would contact for future work.

"It went great! Best handyman experience I've had! Gerald was extremely attentive to what I wanted, always polite, answered any questions or concerns that I had in a polite patient manner, no question I had was considered silly. He was very professional, and he proved himself very trustworthy. He did his best to make sure I got the best price possible, and got professional work. I highly recommend him and his guys. I will use him again because I get professional work and I can trust him to do what he says he'll do, and be truly respectful of what I want done, and he will expertly do the job."

"We had bought a house several years ago and within a few months of owning the house our basement leaked water.  After several years of litigation and numerous episodes of the basement leaking we started looking for a contractor to fix the basement problem.  After getting estimates from a half a dozen companies, we decided that we were going to use Alternative Building Concepts, Inc.  I will say there estimate was a bit higher than the other ones, but you get what you pay for.  Due to us being in a law suit at the time of the construction, I wanted a company that was professional and a company that was going to document the damage and their work.  I further wanted a company that would be competent to testify in court if needed.  They were all of above and more.  We could not have asked for a more professional group of guys.  Mr. Blankenship explained to us all the work that was going to be performed and provided us with a written estimates for each phase of the process.  The price of the work quoted never changed.



When they started the work inside the basement it was amazing how neat they were, which was a concern of ours (especially drywall work).  Once the outside work started it took longer than anticipated due to the weather (rain and lots of it), but the work was completed in a professional manner and throughout the process Mr. Blankenship kept us up to date with the process and any issues that arose.  Once the work was completed everything was put back together neatly.  After the work was completed several small issues arose and each time I called Mr. Blankenship, someone was there to fix it the same day.  I would highly recommend Alternative Building Concepts, Inc. for any project.

Barndominium Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

Choose a barn door with an extra two to three inches on either side of the frame. The width of the barn door will depend on the type and placement of your track, but in most cases, an additional inch or two will do the trick.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
