"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 have big plans and thought it would be best to go with one team that could be with us from the planning to design to actual work, all in stages over the next few years. We've just finished our second project with Mason and all from Sino American and I HIGHLY recommend it. I think the biggest thing I can say as to why I suggest you contact Sino American ... we had one bathroom upstairs and worked with Mason to turn it into 2. This was going to be a month and half project with people coming in and out of our house almost every day, leaving only a 3/4 bath in the basement for us to use and almost half the house unusable.... and I was 7 months pregnant with a 1.5 year old. I was DREADING it but I had absolutely nothing to be worried about. Yes, the walking up and down stairs to the basement bathroom was annoying but everything else was so much less of an inconvenience than I thought. The guys were polite, respectful and cleaned up each day. They even let my toddler pretend to help them with his fake drill and screwdriver. It wasn't nearly as noisy or intrusive as I expected and it all turned out amazing! We love our new bathroom remodels and can't wait to move on the phase three of the project with Mason!"

"They were pretty good for a few months but the garage door is off track. They came out fairly quickly. It was really good pricing. I would probably call them back again but I don't know because they've come out once before so that wouldn't be smart. I don't know if it's my garage door that needs to be fixed or is if there was something that they're not doing."

"Definitely would hire again. The business owner submitted a detailed invoice to let us know what to expect for the job. When I had questions about the project I received very detailed answers. I felt comfortable that the company understood our project and how to handle building the shed. The installer, Pete, was very knowledgeable about how to handle the project. Upon completion the area was left clean and spotless."

"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!"

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

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.
