"I hired JLM Home Solutions to install all my interior doors and closets including frames/casings in my upstairs. Jason was a horrible person the entire time I hired him. He acted like a nice person just to get hired. I regret hiring him. Unfortunately I had signed a contract by the time I found out he was no good. Every time I brought up something that was not done right, he’d yell and raise his voice at me. He’s very rude and unprofessional with the worst customer service. He was rude on text, rude on phone and rude in person. Jared, I guess one of his employees was a great person, very polite and did an amazing job. He worked on the project in a professional manner. He didn’t come back though to finish the project because Jason sent another person instead, David, who did an awful job. Jason didn’t want to hear it that David’s work was not the greatest. I had to put a stop payment after I found out one of the closet doors wasn’t installed right and other things that were wrong. Jason got so upset that he had to come back to fix the problem after I told him I didn’t want David. Jason came to my house but failed to fix the problem still. Instead he made me feel threatened in my own house. He was all in my face yelling at me saying nothing was wrong with the closet. Even my little dog was scared. I had to call my daughter and son to come over because I was so terrified that he was maybe going to hurt me. I stayed on the phone all the time while he was there so someone could hear his abusive behavior. That day after Jason left, I had to get a second opinion on the closet. Another contractor couldn’t believe the way the closet was installed and for Jason to insist it was okay. He left the old frame on and didn’t want to here when I mentioned it. I’ll have this closet removed and a new one with new frame installed the right way. I had to insist Jason deduct some money for that closet from the balance owed to him. A couple of days later, I noticed my kitchen door they installed still had cracks on the inside frame close to the lock. I had mentioned that to him. I texted him to let him know with pictures showing the cracks. Now Jason won’t respond to my text, email or phone. I asked him to send one of his guys to fix the door. Not him because I don’t want him around me. I’ve tried everything to get to him. I know he’s ignoring me. I paid him so much money for this project. If I don’t hear from him I’ll have no choice but to file small claims. He cannot leave my door like that after I paid him so much money and thinks he can just get away with it. If there was an option of zero stars, that’s what I’d have given JLM."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Hartford, MI
With proper maintenance, shipping container homes can provide decades of service comparable to traditional construction. The steel framework offers natural resistance to common housing threats, including insects, fire, and mold.
Regular maintenance should include rust prevention, exterior coating renewal, and inspection of connection points between containers. Quality foundations with proper drainage significantly extend lifespan by preventing ground contact deterioration. With appropriate care and protection from the elements, these structures remain serviceable for 25 years or more.
When properly engineered and anchored, container homes demonstrate impressive resilience against severe weather conditions. The steel construction that withstands ocean shipping provides inherent structural strength against wind forces. Appropriate insulation systems manage temperature extremes while preventing condensation issues common in metal structures.
In hurricane-prone regions, professional anchoring systems and reinforced connections between containers create a unified structure. However, comprehensive weather protection requires quality windows, doors, and roofing systems beyond the basic container shell.
Securing conventional financing for container homes presents greater challenges than for traditional construction. Many mainstream lenders have limited experience with alternative building methods and may have concerns about market valuation and resale potential. Construction loans or portfolio lending from smaller financial institutions often provide more viable paths.
Presenting comprehensive architectural plans, professional engineering documentation, and clear permitting approvals strengthens your application. Some homeowners utilize personal loans, home equity from existing property, or specialized alternative housing financing programs to fund their container home projects.
Regulatory hurdles represent a primary obstacle, as many jurisdictions have limited provisions for container-based structures in their building codes. Technical challenges include creating effective insulation systems for metal walls, managing moisture and condensation, and implementing appropriate structural reinforcement around openings. Logistical considerations involve transporting containers to the building site, especially in remote locations with limited access.
Additionally, creating comfortable, functional living spaces within the dimensional constraints of shipping containers requires thoughtful design approaches. Addressing these challenges early in the planning process helps avoid costly complications during construction.
