"Fantastic! Dave is absolutely professional, skilled, and a terrific guy. The side deck is solid, exactly what we wanted. The shed needed a new, wider door, and Dave fixed it with scratch built doors that are as nice looking as they are functional."

"From the first preliminary meeting through the working out of a contract, from design (and redesign) through the execution and completion of our gorgeous new screened-in porch, we found all the Elite Exterior people to be affable, flexible, and competent. Our project was not a simple one, our yard being on a serious slope; further, they had to make special allowances and adaptations for our five pets, who range from 9 pounds to 100 pounds (!). We like it that Elite organizes the work into expert and efficient teams – in our case, one for building the deck, another for the covered porch, and a third for electric. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Leon Home Repairs did an excellent job. They repaired the areas damaged by fire then doubled the storage space of our shed with an addition on the back of the original shed, even installing a roll up garage door. We had Hardy Board siding and shingles on the roof. They did excellent work. They were prompt, polite, dependable, thorough, easy to work with. They did the job for the agreed upon cost. They worked hard and put in long days to get the job finished on schedule. We were extremely happy with them and would highly recommend them."

"We are having a sunroom put in and we could not be happier with Odyssey Contracting. From the moment we started this process their customer service has been exemplary. They listen, they are kind and thoughtful and we have felt taken care of every step of the way. Now that we are coming to the end of this project we are seeing how wonderful the work and care has been. The room is beautiful and we are thrilled. We will work with Oddyssey anytime and every time from here on out. Thank you to Sean and the entire team for making this a great experience."

"Great honest contractors. They did my bathrooms, hot water heater, unclogged my house drain and they did a French drain so my basement is not wet anymore. I already hired them to do my whole roof in the spring. I will hire them anytime."

"Previous worker botched the job to assemble 10x12 shed kit-leaving much to repair and replace. Alem is one of the most professional workers I have met. He and his crew got the job finished in about 3-4 days. I was so amazed at the finish product that I paid additional for his hard work. I am very pleased with the outcome."

A treehouse stresses the tree, but proper design keeps that impact manageable. Start with a healthy species, use tree-attachment bolts instead of lag screws, and allow room for future growth. A qualified treehouse builder or arborist can assess load capacity, ensure safe fastening, and monitor the tree’s health after construction.
The time it takes to build a treehouse depends on its size and complexity, and whether you choose a prefab kit or a custom design. A straightforward child's prefab treehouse can be assembled in as little as two days to a week. More complex designs can take two to six weeks. Adding features like plumbing and electricity can add several days to the project timeline. Building a fully livable treehouse can take anywhere from several months to a year.
The best trees for constructing a treehouse are strong and healthy with a minimum diameter of 12 inches. Ideal choices include maple, oak, hemlock, and fir trees. If suitable trees aren't available, you can install additional support posts to reinforce the structure. Consulting with an arborist or local treehouse builder ensures your site is evaluated correctly and your treehouse is securely anchored.
A well-constructed treehouse can last anywhere from 10 to 25 years or more. The lifespan depends on the quality of the materials used and the extent to which they are maintained. Applying weatherproof treatments to the wood can help extend its lifespan. Keep in mind that treehouses in areas with harsh weather conditions may wear faster than those in milder climates.
Building a treehouse for year‑round living is entirely possible when you address both the technical challenges and the lifestyle benefits head‑on. This project requires a secure design that incorporates superior insulation, integrated plumbing, and robust electrical systems, while also creating a sustainable, minimalist, and eco-friendly retreat. To ensure comfort and safety, invest in enhanced structural supports and adhere to strict code-compliance measures. Professional consultation is essential to transform your treehouse into a secure, full-time living space that incorporates off-the-grid and environmentally conscious design.
Plumbing installation in a treehouse is challenging because it requires unique, engineered solutions for an off‑ground structure. This project requires custom-designed water distribution systems, reinforced connections, and specialized adjustments that exceed the standard requirements for home plumbing. In addition, implementing innovative solutions such as composting toilets, rainwater collection systems, and graywater sinks ensures safe operation, efficient drainage, and sustainable water usage. These measures, when combined with rigorous adherence to building codes, guarantee that your treehouse’s plumbing system operates securely and efficiently.
