My specialty is carpentry and painting, but during 20 years of experience working on interiors and exteriors of houses I have learned to do everything in a house except air conditioning. I like my job and most importantly I like the clients to be satisfied and happy I like to give clients ideas about what they need but they make their own decisions about what they want to do, and I like to please them in whatever they need. I am 20 years of experience in handymen

"Alex wrote me up a complete and through estimate and explained the work that needed done. I got two additional quotes. Alex and his crew with J and J Builders did a great job in a short time. He also cleaned up at the end of each day. I cannot say enough about Alex and his brother Ariel. I would highly recommend J and J Builders!!"

"Would not recommend. Poor communication and follow up. Hunter came out and wrote up measurements and my vision. Indicated he would have the quote later that afternoon. Tomorrow will be a week and I called as well as texted him asking for a follow up. Have not heard back. Red flags! If you can't even communicate properly with prospective clients then, you are not a serious and reliable business. I have moved on with Porch Conversions who are responsive and reliable."

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

The ideal depth for a root cellar depends on your local frost line and climate conditions. The goal is to achieve a consistent temperature between 32°F and 60°F year-round. In warmer southern regions, you may need deeper excavation or supplemental cooling systems, while northern areas focus more on preventing freezing. 

Understanding your soil composition and water table is essential for determining appropriate depth and drainage needs to maintain a stable environment for your stored produce.

Most municipalities require permits for root cellar construction, particularly for projects involving excavation or structural modifications. Permit costs range from $1,200 to $2,000, depending on your location. 

The application process often requires submitting detailed plans showing drainage solutions and structural elements. Checking local regulations early in your planning process helps avoid potential fines or construction delays, especially for projects near property lines or those requiring utility connections.

Professional root cellar construction spans several weeks, with timelines varying based on design complexity and weather conditions. The process includes initial excavation, foundation work, structural construction, ventilation installation, and finishing touches. Permit processing and inspections add to the timeline. 

Working with experienced professionals results in more efficient completion compared to DIY approaches, though seasonal factors and contractor availability can affect scheduling.

Concrete represents the most common material choice for permanent root cellars due to its durability and moisture resistance. For above-ground structures, properly sealed pressure-treated lumber offers good performance at lower cost. 

Effective insulation is crucial regardless of construction type, with different materials suited to various climate conditions. Quality doors with proper seals help maintain consistent internal conditions, while corrosion-resistant hardware ensures longevity in humid environments.

Most produce stores work best at humidity levels between 80% and 90%. A hygrometer (costing approximately $25) helps monitor conditions accurately. For low humidity, placing containers of water or damp materials in the cellar can increase moisture levels. 

When humidity rises too high, improving air circulation through adjustable vents helps reduce excess moisture. Different crops may require varying humidity levels, so organizing your storage accordingly helps optimize preservation. Regular maintenance prevents condensation buildup and potential mold issues.
