"I contacted Kristi Minser after seeing her website and reading the reviews here.  After about 60 minutes on the phone one evening, I was completely comfortable.  It was just a "click!"  
Kristi designed a 24 x 28 "shed" only 20 feet from the existing garage.  We live in a 3 story Georgian home so having something that looked like a pole barn was the furthest thing from my mind.  What we got was a very serviceable building for my husband's stuff with an upstairs for storage and future usage.  Kristi managed to work it so the single garage door is accessible from the existing driveway with only a short concrete pad.  The floor is concrete. It is 2x4 construction with ample lighting. The yellow siding with white trim matches the stucco of our home.
So that was my husband's part of the project and he is happy.  He's got big plans for retirement in that "shed." But let's see what I got!
From the garage door on the"shed", we turn right through an aluminum gate on the decorative aluminum fence.  This takes us onto the "piazza" - a 20' x 20' expanse of concrete stamped and colored with a pattern reminiscent of Paris streets. The side bordering the garage has an 18" open space and clematis vines clamber up the wall.  A winding path leads to the kitchen door past the rose bushes edged with lavender.  Directly across is a 28'x10' porch.  There's white wicker on one end, room for a table in the middle and another seating area on the other end.   The roof is supported by round pillars. We'd planned on railings but eliminated them as we wanted every square inch we could use.
We entertain endlessly on our piazza and porch.  The cool thing is the "front" of the shed with its balanced facade and double doors, faces the yard.  This makes it appear far more like a "summer kitchen" from the 1700s than a modern building.  It complements the house perfectly.
We say the shed is from Mars and the porch is from Venus.  The design is all Kristi Minser.
All that being said, every single subcontractor was easy to work with and willing to be "creative" if necessary.  The few small problems were addressed easily with a text to Kristi.  It's obvious that she trusts these people and with good reason.
PS  Little tiny misleading thing: Kristi did not do the roses and lavender or clematis.  Everything else is true!"

"Jim and his crew, including the sub-contractors, did an amazing job on our project to finish off some of our basement. We added a bathroom, bedroom, and family room. The quote was thorough and accurate. The communication was responsive. The workmanship was second to none. I highly recommend working with Jim. You won't be disappointed."

"I have used JM for a number of projects from Roofing to Concrete floor in garage. I learned long ago that you get what you pay for. JM might not be the cheapest contractor but the quality of the work is second to none. They put a new staircase outside the front of my home that has 12 steps with railings and I will get many years out of that it is so sturdy and looks fantastic. My home is very old and can be hard to work on but it didn't matter what I asked them to do, they found a way. I will pay a premium for work done at this level."

"Job One: I thought I needed a new outer door but Jeff (the owner) suggested refurbishing the existing one which was more cost-effective. It hasn't looked this good since moving in! Job Two: I couldn't afford a whole new kitchen so Kelah, Austin and Joe worked their magic by taking the cabinet doors off and with new hardware and a couple coats of paint on the cabinets, ceiling and walls, I now have a really cheerful "new" kitchen. The crew was great to work with and even accommodated my small extra requests of putting new light switches in and helped me create a new hanging wall coat rack. JJB Home Improvements is fortunate to have a knowledgeable and friendly crew. Keeping them altogether is Tom, their office manager and juggler of all things scheduling and billing-wise. I had to change my start date a couple times and he handled that--and all communications with incredible promptness, professionalism and courtesy. Clearly JJB--in my opinion--has a really great team!"

FAQs for addition to existing structure building service projects in Thiensville, WI

You can typically raise your roof by four to eight feet, depending on your home's structure and roof design. The exact amount depends on factors like roof slope and framing support. Raising the roof creates additional interior space, enhances natural light, and increases your home's value. Consult a professional to determine the feasible height increase for your home.

Yes, you need a building permit to raise your roof. Obtaining a building permit ensures your project complies with local building codes and safety regulations. A professional contractor can assist with the permit and inspection process and ensure all legal and safety requirements are met. Your contractor will be familiar with building codes in your area, which can differ between cities or states.

While it's possible to raise a flat roof, it requires extensive structural modifications. Flat roofs lack the attic space and support structures of pitched roofs, so raising them involves significant engineering to ensure safety and durability. This process can be complex and costly, so professional assessment is essential before undertaking a project of this magnitude.
