"Hired Ben to remove a brush pile and leaf pile. He was to have a second team handle the brush pile but they bailed on him. Ben busted his butt to take care of the brush pile by hand, nothing but a chain saw, truck & trailer. Came back to take care of the leaf pile by himself 3 days later. I cannot recommend him enough!!! Super person, honest amazing service!!! Thanks Ben!!!!!!"

"It went pretty well. I needed to get the HOA’s approval and that went very smoothly. I attribute that to a well written proposal. Chris and Ken did a good job assessing the needs of my disabled son and provided safe railings outside the home as well as grab bars in the bathrooms."

"Gerry and his crew built us a screened in covered porch/deck. It was a great choice. The crew worked hard and and finished the work in a couple of weeks. The deck is a huge improvement over what we had before, and exactly what we were looking for. The construction is solid and well built. Working with Gerry is easy, and very straightforward, I absolutely recommend DDK!"

"From this point forward, this company will be my go-to for any home repairs I need. We were looking for a trash can fenced enclosure that was installed rather poorly a few years ago. Our handyman, Jose (jose@charlotte), was attentive, thorough, and dedicated to the best outcome for our family. He arrived on time, remained a consummate professional, and helped us make the best decisions for our improvement project. We are so pleased with the outcome. Thank you, Jose, and thank you, Cransten. Moving forward, this will be my go-to home improvement company!"

"The Project included a small open porch with a gabled shingle roof which led through french doors into the 8 windowed sunroom with a ceramic tile floor, 2 ceiling fans, 6 recessed lights, and 2 suntunnels. Bay windows & a french door were taken out to provide a large open entry into the diningroom and kitchen creating an open concept look. The finished room blends so perfectly with the architecture of the house both inside and out that it looks like it was always there. The project took six weeks as promised and is above and beyond our expectations! The “Ragan team” not only is dedicated to quality materials and workmanship, but also maintaining a positive and unruffled attirude when encountering “bumps along the road” which inevitably happen in a project this size. Paul Ragan's vast experience and ingenuity were obvious throughout the project. We higly recommend Ragan Construction Company!"

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.
