Common Questions
What exactly is a barndominium, and why choose Drake Farms to build one in Eastern NC?
A barndominium combines the spacious, open design of a traditional pole barn with the comfort and finishes of a modern home, often featuring timber frame construction for a rustic yet sturdy aesthetic. At Drake Farms Construction, we specialize in customizing these structures for the Eastern NC climate and lifestyle. Our expertise ensures your barndominium is not only beautiful and functional but also built with materials and techniques suited to handle local weather, making it a durable and energy-efficient choice for your property.
We have a leak near our chimney. Is this a common issue in New Bern, and how do you fix it?
Yes, chimney flashing leaks are a frequent concern for homeowners in our area due to wind-driven rain and seasonal temperature shifts that can compromise seals. Our team addresses this by first conducting a thorough roof inspection to locate the exact source of the leak. We then repair or replace the flashing with high-quality materials, ensuring a watertight seal that integrates properly with your existing roof. Properly addressing chimney flashing is a key part of our comprehensive roof repair and replacement services, protecting your home from water damage.
Can you handle both a major addition, like a new guest house, and smaller interior remodels?
Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we manage projects of all scales. We can construct a detached guest house or ADU from the ground up, handling everything from foundation work to roofing and siding. Simultaneously, or as a separate project, our team expertly handles interior renovations like kitchen and bathroom remodels. This integrated approach means you have a single, reliable point of contact for transforming your property, ensuring consistency in quality and communication whether we're building a new structure or updating your existing home.
