"I had hired Parsons Projects before and this was once again excellent service. They explained everything before the job, came several times during job to check on progress, and came the morning after and walked with me while examining work. Since there was a rain storm right after stain application, they are going to check a few areas later. Stacey, who did the job was honest (kept door unlocked just in case she needed in) dependable and extremely hard-working. I have hired Parsons Projects for three different jobs over the last few years and have them on standby for two other jobs that will probably have to be done in the future. I have passed out their business cards to my neighbors and friends. They do excellent work, are dependable and are extremely honest."

"Gabriel gave me what I considered a fair bid for replacing our deck using Trex decking materials. He and his crew were very careful in their work not to damage other landscaping in the area in which they were working. They carefully measured and cut so that the finished product looked very professionally done. They helped in providing all the materials information so that I was able to submit a warranty request to Trex as a residential customer to get the maximum, transferable warranty from Trex for all the materials that came from them. Their final cost was exactly what Gabriel had bid. I will definitely use this contractor for other work at my home."

"Wade removed my crumbling aggregate porch steps and replaced them with a wood set. I'm very pleased. His communication and promptness were great. He told me exactly what he planned to do and gave me a quote right away. Based on my experience, I'd definitely recommend Hansen Building & Renovations."

"We feel they went above and beyond on our install of interior doors, closet doors and exterior door. We have a quirky house and they made it all look great. They were nice, courtious, friendly, showed up on time and cleaned up so you didn t even know they were here. I asked for more business cards to pass out to friends and family. We highly recommend this company."

"Excellent response and service. Good work at a fair price."
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.
