"Justin and his team did an excellent job. He listened to what I had in mind and the result is exactly what I wanted. He had to drill into the brick on the side of the house to affix the steel wire so this was not a job I could have done myself. Everything looks neat and the lights are hung securely. He also installed a dimmer switch and cover for the electrical outlet (at my request). He had to come back a second day as the concrete wasn't curing fast enough. He wanted to ensure it would hold the lights. I also asked him to install a light in my mudroom while he was here, and take a look at a broken heat lamp on my deck. Some contractors don't like to be bothered with the smaller jobs - not Justin. He will tackle it all. Super professional and does great work."

"Manny was great! Hanged, taped, mudded, and sanded roughly 8.5' X 8' wall that I framed... had 'my studs' not been slightly twisted, bowed and warped the wall would be 100% perfect. Manny's work was excellent and the wall is smooth no divots or gaps. I provided the drywall and corner bead. Will definitely hire Manny again!"

"We should probably call our house design and remodel by Mason as he has executed so many wonderful projects for us. The latest was a complete remodel of our hall bathroom and the building of a storage closet/ window seat in an upstairs bedroom. As is his style, both projects were executed flawlessly and the results were stunning. He is meticulous about everything and it shows in the results. Along the way, we ask him questions and he solves other problems in our old house. He is just a gem to work with."

"We took our time making a decision after getting the design and quotes, but Peter Belman patiently and politely waited us out, without changing the price.  We were amazed at how quickly they were able to do the garage and are extremely pleased with the result!

"The service tech was competent, professional and polite. He quickly diagnosed the problem  - that the opener had 'lost' its program. When he told me the bill was $95, I responded that it seemed high for how little time it took. He said he had no control over the pricing, so I did not pursue the matter with him. 
 I subsequently communicated with Jesse, who had arranged the service call and who I presume is a principal of ABC Garage. The exchange was unsatisfactory. She said that it was unnerving to her that I was charged only $95 - that I should have been charged $120. Which would have been even more excessive.
Needless to say, I will not use ABC Garage again and certainly do not recommend them.
The only reason why the overall rating is as high as C is because of the performance of the service technician. Otherwise, the overall rating would have been D or even lower.

"Tony and EA roofing are great! I needed to have my roof replaced due to hail damage. Tony helped to facilitate the entire process for me and made everything as easy as can be. Their guys put on a great new roof using landmark pro materials. They were in and out in 1 day, cleaned everything up and left us with a beautiful new roof. I highly recommend EA roofing. Thanks Tony!"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Washington, DC

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.
