"We had Southerland Plumbing install all of our kitchen appliances, fridge, range, over the range microwave, sink as well as our bathroom vanity, and faucets. They were quick to find effective solutions to make the appliances that we got work for our home. And everything looks and works flawless and for an unbeatable price. We will definitely be calling Roy and his team for any future remodeling work we need."

"Martin and his crew tore up a paver patio and partial lawn and installed a beautiful patio with pavers and river rock. On time and worked quickly! I was really happy with how I was treated and the quality of work they did. It was a small project which I sometimes have a hard time finding people for and Martin was eager and made me feel like it was worth his time."

"RT Custom Builds got our custom built garden shed finsihed in no time. Robert and crew were prompt, professional and made excellent suggestions about design. The garden shed turned out looking more like a custom guest cottage, with so much style and has a wonderful she shed ambiance. He worked with us installing a vintage door and vintage window to complete the look we wanted. Robert helped us on making decisions to upgrade to high quality materials, like Hardi Plank siding, trim and composite roofing and did all the work from start to finish. I would highly recommend RT Custom Builds and will use them again."

"Charles recently completed a basement bathroom addition in our 1920s home. Our basement was already finished, with a bedroom, family room, and office, but lacked a bathroom. Charles was able to convert an existing pantry into a full bathroom. Charles listened to our interests and needs, while understanding the challenges of our small space, and created a wonderful bathroom for our family. While Charles performed a lot of the work, his subcontractors were all very professional and produced some great looking work. Throughout the process he was communicative and responsive and the project was completed within his initial time estimates. Overall, a great experience and would definitely hire again."

"We really enjoyed working with Pete - what a great guy! He and his crew did a wonderful job and we now have a fence that is superior to the last one, stronger and sturdier, solid. They worked in the snow and rain to meet the deadline. They cleaned up very well. If we don't do the staining treatment ourselves, we will definitely have them come back for that service. Thanks Pete. It was a pleasure!"
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.
