"I've worked with many contractors over the years and JJB is the best I've worked with for residential remodeling. That's no small statement. JJB is responsive, communicative, on-time and on-schedule, does not cut corners, always willing to tackle new issues or problems that arise during construction, respectful of neighbors / other tenants, and very fairly priced for the quality of work that they provide. We even had some city permitting issues from prior construction that JJB was able to take on and get cleared up. I can't express how much headache this saved me! On top of being great contractors, Joe and Jeff and their team are also just great people - very personable, easy to communicate with, and a pleasure to be around. They really desire to make their customers happy and to do good work. You won't find any cheap shortcuts or shoddy work with this team. When the time comes for another construction job in the area, they will be my first call. I really can't give much of a higher recommendation than that!"

"Doors look great and they did s good job installing. There was a minor misunderstanding in regards to pricing out the right doors. The doors I really wanted were a lot more money, but glad I went with them as they are perfect."

"We couldn't be happier with the work that Construct Boss did for us. We had an idea of what we wanted, and with the suggestions they gave, or basement turned out better than we hoped for. The entire basement was done on time and on budget."

"Overall, I was not pleased with the work or professional. The actual tuckpointing and pitching the sill, the work looked like it was done well, but when they went to caulk the sill, the caulking was not a smooth caulk bead. Trying to have them correct the issue was difficult. If the owner was not happy with me dealing with him, he would not show up the next time to do the work. The project dragged out a long time."

"Bryan, Tony, and Chris did excellent work. The quality of everything that was done was excellent. Bryan was diligent in finding a solution for our ceilings after his crew patched, sealed and painted them only to have them crack again within the next couple of days. He brought the crew out, and diligently worked with our ceiling based heating system to ensure no punctures occurred as they attached a thin piece of dry wall to the ceilings, thereby eliminating the heat-induces cracks. They always cleaned up after themselves, even on a daily basis. I thought they did a great job of keeping our house livable while bringing the inside up to present time. They methodically worked from one room to another, minimizing the time we could not use a room. Our bathroom toilet and sink were custom ordered and took much longer to get in that we anticipated, and this contributed to the project finishing at a later time than we originally thought. However, the end result was well worth the wait. Additional improvements were recommended by Bryan and/or his team to enhance the quality of our project. Typically, Bryan added these into scope without increasing the budget, which was very much appreciated. As an example, he made a foot stool and covered it in leather to match our couch. Although these weren't big items, they were additional touches that not only added to the overall finish of the project, but provided an additional level of service to us. Our project took much longer to complete than I originally anticipated. This was mostly due to the late delivery of our bathroom sink, and the fact the first one that was delivered was cracked. I do believe Bryan and his team would have completed all work in the original estimated time if the delivery from Kohler would have agreed."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Milwaukee, WI

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.
