American Precision was founded by Estenio Lima and Sara Yoffe. Estenio is a licensed construction supervisor and skilled master carpenter who has built, renovated, and restored some of the most beautiful homes in Massachusetts. Sara, the daughter of a contractor, is a lawyer by training and holds both a construction supervisor and real estate broker license. She began her career in real estate and construction in 2018, first by focusing on her family’s portfolio of properties. Sara manages over 150 homes and apartments in Cambridge, Charlestown, and Quincy. Estenio and Sara began collaborating in 2018, developing properties for APD's sister company, Cambridge Prime, and started American Precision in 2021. American Precision specializes in renovation and restoration of existing properties to fit the needs of both homeowners and developers.

"We had the pleasure to work with American Precision Developers over the last 2-3 years. They worked on three separate large projects: (1) a main-level kitchen, dining and living room remodel, (2) basement refinish and mudroom rebuilt (3) bathroom, primary bedroom and family room remodel. Both Sara and Estenio listened carefully to our needs and preferences and offered suggestions based on their experience and desire to provide a high-quality finished product. The craftsmanship and attention to details in the finished spaces are truly impressive. On the main level they transformed a boxy layout into a modern, open-concept kitchen, dining and living room. The bathroom, primary bedroom and family room are now beautiful functional spaces tailored to our needs. APD did a great job on waterproofing and finishing the basement and mud room that are now inviting and well-designed spaces. ADP has an amazing team. We highly recommend them !"

"Evandson and his team are true professionals. They converted an unused space in our primary bedroom into an en-suite primary bathroom. The timeline proposed was 6-7 weeks and they completed everything including permitting and inspections within 5 weeks. The craftsmanship was top notch and we were extremely impressed with how clean and on time they were throughout the project. Evandson and his team had previously helped us finish our basement, which we love, and it was a no brainer to have him complete our bathroom project. We would recommend Evandson and EENN to anyone looking to complete any home improvement project, as our experiences working with them have been nothing but positive. We would give more than 5 stars if given the option!"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Cambridge, MA

When building a shed, you should hire a general contractor or a local shed-building specialist. The ideal professional will have experience constructing the type of shed you want and can provide a detailed estimate and timeline. Ensure they have proper licensing and insurance and can handle additional services like land clearing and material hauling.

The type of shed you need depends on your budget, intended use, and property specifics. If you want an affordable and quick solution, prefabricated sheds are cost-effective but offer limited customization. Custom-built sheds allow you to tailor features like wall height, square footage, workspace, and window placement to your exact needs. Consider materials, durability, and local zoning regulations when choosing between prefab and custom sheds to ensure the shed meets your requirements.

The average cost to build a barn varies widely based on size, style, and intended use. American barn-style sheds typically cost between $3,000 and $7,000, providing a rustic storage solution. Larger, commercial-style barns range from $25,000 to $80,000 and are suitable for housing livestock or large equipment. Depending on the barn's style, you can expect to pay $15 to $50 per square foot. Additional factors like materials, labor, and custom features like stalls or storage lofts will also influence the total cost.

Building a shed can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the type and complexity of the project. Prefabricated sheds can be assembled in 4 to 8 hours, providing a quick storage solution. On the other hand, custom-built sheds may take 2 to 5 days to construct on-site. Size, design features, and weather conditions can also affect the timeline.

Building a shed can enhance your property's functionality but may not significantly increase its market value. While a well-built shed provides extra storage or workspace that can appeal to potential buyers, it typically does not add to the home's appraised value. However, in areas with limited storage space, a high-quality shed might make your property more attractive on the market, potentially influencing buyer interest positively.
