"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!"
"Platinum replaced my hail damaged roof. The work was done in a very timely manner while going above and beyond what was originally estimated. (Repairing the builders short cuts) Communication was great and cleanup was very good. Highly recommended!"
"Brian and his team did an outstanding job. I added a second story deck and a new door from my dining room to access the new deck. I have an older home with all the challenges that come with that on a remodel and their attention to detail was perfect. The team that completed this project were outstanding from start to finish. They were knowledgeable and professional. They worked with me on a couple of design changes mid project and knew just what to do to make everything look like it had always been there. I have worked with a lot of contractors over the years, both in my work life and on home projects, and these guys know what they are doing. Handypro will be my go to contractor for all future projects."
"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!"
After searching around for someone to pressure wash our house and driveway, I eventually went to Angie?s List to find a pressure washing company and saw all the exceptional comments about A&K Power Washing. They provided an estimate within 24 hours of contacting them and we were grateful for their promptness because it was getting late in the season and we needed the work done right away. They have just finished cleaning our vinyl siding, concrete driveway, porch, steps, and deck and I can confirm all the comments I read as accurate. Professional, environmentally conscientious, courteous, responsible: they were all that and more. The work was above and beyond our expectations. We are completely satisfied with the results. Our only wish is that Angie has an A+ rating because we would have gladly given A&K that score (as noted by another customer as well). Our place looks great. I would highly recommend this company. Thanks A&K for a job well done.

"Mr. Blankenship and his designer met with us multiple times to help us figure out exactly what we wanted to do and gave us estimates on the cost of all the different options so that we could make knowledgeable decisions that helped us get the very best outcome and stay within our budget. Mr. Blankenship went out of his way to meet with us when our schedule allowed and was always professional. They provided us with drawings and detailed contracts outlining exactly what would be done. Once the work began they worked diligently to finish the projects. One of my neighbors remarked that they seemed very conscientious and that he wished he had used Alternative Building Concepts on a job he just had done. Mr. Blankenship even came out several times just to meet with the carpet layers because he wasn't happy with some of the seams. All the work they did was first rate and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Everything Alternative Building Concepts did improved our home and we would not hesitate to use them again. "
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
The lifespan of a barn is typically 40 to 60 years, but with skillful construction and proper maintenance, it can last up to 100 years. The actual lifespan depends on several factors, including the barn type, materials, usage, and climate. For example, the posts of a pole barn should last 50 years or longer, but if the structure is used for livestock in a rainy climate, it may rot within the first decade. Custom designs with high-end materials tend to last the longest. To get the best estimate for your barn's lifespan, you should consider its material type and intended use.
You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.
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.
Whether you buy a prefabricated shed or build one depends on why you need it and where you stay. For instance, if a simple garden shed is what you’re after, it’ll be less expensive to buy one already built. But if you want a shed with windows, plumbing, and electric work, a custom-built unit might be more suited to your needs.
There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.
