"I first met. Eric. Bowman when he came by to sell me on his company, Elitextetiors nc. I was initially pleased with the plan and signed a contract for his company to build a multi level deck for my home. We gelled.. it seemed good. Actually great. THEN.. it became another story. During construction, mistakes, changes to our design and it kept going. Eventually , the decks were built, but they did not even come close to what we had envisioned. Brian, Bradley. Eric.. incommunicado when they were needed. Instead I dealt with. Alfredo Sr. .. eventually , it wasn’t the deck project I signed up or contracted for. Let’s move on to the gutter ceiling.. installed in a day and a half.. leaked! Bad placement. When I called for warranty.. they sent a handyman..! Hrs worked on it and it’s now worse! Total failure. The deck team also placed a support beam ON TOP OF MY SEPTIC TANK.. yes ! I signed an affidavit allowing it within a certain amount of proximity to said tank.. near.. not on! !!! Cost me a couple of grand there.. Eric and. Brian ..no acceptsu of this or willingness to compensate me for this egregious error. All I got was.. “. You signed an affidavit allowing, right?’ Arghhhh! IT GETS WRSR FOLKS!! I contracted with a contractor. ( not. Elitextetiors! ). To have doors installed on my new devs.. THE SECOND OR TOP DECK.. is not at the right height.. wasn’t installed on the plate for second story of my home!! IT ATTACHED TO THE WALL BEAMS And the SHEATHING OF MY HOME. It’s a FOOT OFF! BElOW THE SECOND FLOOR !It wasn’t j channeled, INSTRD.. they squished my siding behind the beam that attached it to my home! Water running down my walls. All levels. Again, I’ve tried to reason with.

"JM Deck did a good job on building and installing a new deck for us last fall. My only complaint is that there were two small deck boards that were cut a little shorter than the others. My husband contacted them to come back to correct that problem. But, they never returned his call or came back out. Otherwise, than that we are very pleased with the new deck and it was completed on time. I am rating a "B" due to the short boards. If boards get fixed, I'll move grade to "A"."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Raleigh, NC

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.
