"Dustin and his wife Luz did a fabulous job on all the things I needed for my new home. The biggest of which was painting my unfinished double and third garage. Builder had mudded it, but that was it. Now it looks awesome and walls protected against moisture which could cause big problems down the road. He also installed four ceiling fans, took off a water closet door and put together two LED fireplace TV stands and a kitchen island and did a great job with those too. I'm having him back to install a garbage disposal, change out my builder grade dishwasher and build a ramp for my storage building. Very transparent on his fees and does excellent work. Takes his time to do it right the first time. I highly recommend him."

"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."

"Highly recommend Preston and First Choice Contracting! They recently replaced the carpet in our great room with Luxfloor Plus flooring, and the results are absolutely fabulous. Because we have pets, we needed a durable, pet-friendly option to replace our old carpet, and this flooring is the perfect solution. Preston and his crew were punctual, easy to work with, and paid incredible attention to every detail. Additionally, his administrative assistant, Debby, was wonderful—she was always nice, highly responsive, and made sure all of our questions reached Preston immediately. We are thrilled with the work and will definitely call First Choice Contracting back for our future home projects!"

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.
