"We had an excellent experience from the first meeting to discuss options, to the decision to purchase, to the build. The shed build was easily scheduled and completed within one day. The value for the cost is better than we could have hoped. Highly recommend them for shed building."

"We started with a design that Al then refined, after working with us about how we actually use (and want to use) our kitchen and to match his recommended cabinet makers' specs. He made sure both my and my husband's voices were heard in this design as well as during material selection. He was frank about where to splurge and where to save. His polite, professional team showed up On Time Every Day and they finished the project one day earlier than expected, despite some supply chain hiccups outside of their control. They were kind to our dog, cleaned up every day, and truly cared about their work and our satisfaction. I recommend this company, no reservations or caveats."

"We hired Joe to replace our deck. To give an idea about the overall size of the job, it was about $6000. Joe and his associate did a great job replacing all the boards and building new railing on one of the sides that did not have it. They are knowledgeable about they do and their conduct throughout the job was professional. Joe was particularly good in terms of communication and accommodated all our requests (e.g. we wanted to use grade #1 lumber and screws instead of nails). They finished the job in a timely manner, working every days as weather permitted. We highly recommend Joe."

"We just completed a full master bathroom renovation with Century Bathrooms and Kitchens and are thrilled with the outcome, and love our new bath. Working with Daniel and Erika really set Century apart from other contractors, and in meeting and discussing our project with them it was that sense of trust that helped us select them over other proposals. They communicated with us before the project began and throughout, until it was completed. There was no detail too small or request that they did not work to meet. Not having completed a large project like this before, we relied heavily on their design guidance and experience to arrive at the final specifications, and we’re glad we did. The crew was also outstanding. From protecting our home with floor and furniture coverings, and barriers around the outside of the bathroom, to cleaning up after each day, it made the whole project easy to deal with. Much like Daniel and Erika, you could tell from their workmanship and attention to detail that they cared about the work they were doing and wanted the best outcome possible. As far as the budget and final billing for the project, there were no surprises. The cost proposal we were presented at the start of the project was precisely the same cost at final payment. I would highly recommend Century Bathrooms and Kitchens (and Daniel and Erika) without reservations and would definitely work with them again."

"We used the owner to build a fence around our large backyard before and since we were so satisfied with his and his team's work, it was a natural choice for us to have him build our deck as well. Caleb, Mike and team were as expected very easy to communicate with, punctual and open in communication, always accessible to us for questions and of course they did an outstanding job building our new structure! We have received many, many compliments from everybody passing by on our new deck. The team build the upper deck as a free standing deck according to code, they added engineered wood decking, railing and the stairs going down. They also removed our dining room window and replaced it with a French door. We have a brick exterior which made it a bit more challenging to replace our window but Mike and team had no issue completing 90% of the demolition and door install within one day, leaving us with a closed off house at the end of the day. All dry wall work inside the house, including fixing the floors inside the house was completed by the team in a very professional manner. An external dry wall gut was hired to ensure quality and rapid work. The team also did not hesitate to complete a small change in the middle of the project with no hassle and at no extra cost. The team was very accommodative to any sort of feedback or requests. The project was completed within the timeframe promised (2 weeks). The materials used are of high quality. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this project and will not hesitate to call Better Build Northwest again for our future projects! Thanks so much again Caleb, Mike and team for the great work!"

"It was on time, as promised and to schedule. Santosh is very knowledgeable and fair price listen to your need and answers to your questions. Pricing is upfront and reasonable. His response is quick and timely. I would recommend him for any type of home remodeling. He did all drywall, plumbing, Electrical, roofing, painting, flooring, you name it. His work is clean and as promised. He has done multiple projects for me. He is my go to guy. I would recommend him without any reservations. I usually do my own handyman work, but now I found him I stored my tools away."

"Excellent experience. Steve Smith responded quickly to my request for an estimate. He showed up on time and walked me thru all my options. Once I selected the size and style for the shed I wanted, Steve placed me on the calendar. The contract showed up a few days prior to the start of work. After some minor adjustments to the contract which were made quickly, the work began on the day promised. Steve told me that the work would take two days to complete. At the end of the second day, the work was completed as promised and the work site was cleaned up and restored. The quality of the shed is excellent, and although a little more expensive that a pre-built model from a home improvement store, having it built on-site had much less impact on my landscaping. Overall, a great experience."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Alexandria, VA

Barndominiums cost $50 to $200 per square foot (or $65 to $160 per square foot for finished living areas). You’ll pay even more for a larger barn house. This project costs more than the typical barn construction because you’ll need elements like a kitchen, bathroom, and finished living spaces. Building a barn house is comparable to building an actual home.

A high-quality barn lasts 40 to 60 years when built with robust materials and maintained with dedicated care. Quality construction practices and a strict maintenance schedule ensure that key structural components, such as support posts and roofing, remain effective for more than 60 years. This long lifespan offers homeowners sustained functionality and reliability over time.

The project type determines the construction timeline for a barn. A standard pole barn finishes in six weeks, a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn concludes in four months or more, and a barndominium takes six months or longer due to the extensive design, electrical, plumbing, and finishing details. This schedule ensures each phase is completed efficiently by qualified professionals.

When planning to construct your barn, it's important to review local building codes and zoning regulations. These regulations may include guidelines on building height, property boundaries (setbacks), lot coverage, and easements. Understanding and complying with these requirements helps ensure your barn is built safely and legally and avoids any permitting delays.
