"Due to my toilet flooding my bathroom flooded and I was not in the market for getting a bathroom remodel done due to budget constraints. However when MJ gave me a price for the restorative work he mentioned he would be able to offer a good price for the bathroom remodel. His price for the bathroom remodel was in my budget and after the work was done I was very pleased to have chosen that route. It was marvelous working with Mr MJ!"

FAQs for find a custom home builder projects in San Jose, CA

With solid construction and routine upkeep, your barndominium can last 50 to 150 years. Steel framing and metal siding resist rot and pests, but you’ll still need to reseal the roof annually, inspect fasteners, and schedule regular checks for HVAC, plumbing, and the foundation. Those quick maintenance tasks keep the structure durable, safe, and weather-tight for generations to come.

Yes. When a qualified crew builds your barndominium, the steel frame and metal siding can handle wind loads up to 150 mph. Strong anchors, reinforced concrete footings, and tough roofing panels stop uplift and leaks. Partnering with experienced engineers and contractors ensures the storm-ready details are locked in and keeps your barndo tight in extreme conditions.

They can be. Pack high-R insulation into the walls and roof, choose energy-rated windows and insulated doors, and seal every gap around framing and ducts. Combine those upgrades with a well-planned HVAC layout, and you can trim your utility bills by as much as 50 percent compared to a conventional home.

You can absolutely build a two-story barndominium. Engineered steel framing supports multiple levels and vaulted ceilings, maintaining strength without compromise. Partner up with an architect and contractor to create a custom, multi-level layout that offers open sightlines, smart design, and generous headroom—perfect for combining function and style in your dream home.

Yes, a barndominium can have a basement. Start with a custom blueprint, and you can add a full or walk-out basement instead of the standard slab. A designer and structural engineer will map out footings, drainage, and access so the extra square footage is safe, dry, and ready for storage or living space.
