A better contracting experience. Full-service Construction & Remodeling. Builders - Homes - Remodeling - General - Remodeling - Kitchen & Bathroom

"Our house addition project has been 3 years in the making. Not by choice! We have met with right around 10 contractors through this process. Not just messages or phone conversations, but met directly. Some of these companies never got back to us and some were just astronomical regarding pricing. In the end, we met these professionals, Magic Designs, and had an AMAZING experience working with their team. Communication was spot on, with constant updates that were concise. If I had a question, they were on it and very responsive. Their crews were professional and conducted high quality work. They worked on our project consistently 5 days a week and 7 days a week if and when needed. The final product, AMAZING! These professionals delivered a great product and did it at the exact calculated time."

We offer quality and affordable general remodeling services.

"Kevin and his team did an outstanding job restoring our basement bathroom. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, careful, and thorough. I was particularly concerned about moisture getting into the tub area, and Kevin’s team went above and beyond to find the right set of tub and walls to fit our basement. They even had to return one set because it didn’t fit, and I was really impressed with their ability to pivot and ensure we had the best solution. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Kevin was very proactive, mostly texting us each day to let us know when to expect them and being flexible if I had traffic issues. They worked diligently every day over two weeks to complete the restoration, and their attention to detail really showed in the final result. I’m honestly surprised by how much I love the basement bathroom now! I didn’t think I would care much about it since it’s in the basement, but the quality of work has truly transformed the space. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the work Kevin and his team did. They took the time to explain our options, addressed all of our concerns, and delivered a beautifully restored bathroom that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!"

Looking for a top-notch handyman in Pittsburgh? Look no further than Chris Jackson's Contracting. As an owner-operated business, we take pride in delivering exceptional results. Our award-winning team is ready to tackle any job, and we offer flexible scheduling options. Contact us today for all your handyman needs!

"The deck, chandelier, handrail, and UV projects were done in October. The windows required a special order and were installed on two consecutive days in December. Mr. Jackson and his employees did an excellent job. They are efficient and courteous, and left the work areas very clean. Chris is knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. It is difficult to make a definitive price comparison, as we did not get estimates from other contractors, but we trust Chris—I had hired him for work on a previous house—and feel that his prices were very fair and reasonable. Casement windows are expensive and we expected that; the new ones are excellent. While here to do the windows the guys also moved a heavy chest from the garage up to our second floor, a task we could not have done ourselves. We can highly recommend Chris Jackson’s Contracting. This review should have been posted long ago, but better late than never."

Before starting my business in 1996, I spent 12 years in the military (1st class builder in the U.S.NAVY SEABEES), doing construction all over the world. I do not use sub-contractors, and I am fully insured. Various discounts available, Including seniors, and of course veterans!!. Please mention Angie's List when you call 412.310.4643 to schedule.

"The "roof repair" cost me $4,275.00 and the leak into my bathroom was worse before he fixed the roof. He did do a great job in painting my garages but wanted t charge me extra to paint the side door and the side window because I didn't specify that it was part of the garage when I hired him. LOL. He painted 4 pieces of wood which made of a section of fence the wrong color. But then I fiqured out the wrong color of paint on the fence and the not painting the garage door was because he ran out of the brown paint. I had the roof leak fixed by a very reputable roofing company and it was 1/4 of what Furko charged to do nothing. Needless to say I won in court. Furko now has a nice judgement against him which I am sure he will never pay. Would I recommend him or hire him again H*** NO!!!! The 1st picture is how my leak looked inside my bathroom when I hired Furko and the second picture was how it looked AFTER he "fixed" the leak and I paid him $4,275.00"

Shed, barn or playhouse building services FAQs

Pole buildings use heavy vertical posts that anchor into the ground to support the structure, with supporting columns attached to the tops of the beams to hold the roof in place. Construction is fast without sacrificing significant support or reliability. Different types of post-frame buildings can include optional flooring or walls.

The benefits of using a post‐frame construction method are clear: it delivers significant cost savings by eliminating the need for a full foundation. This approach provides sturdy support with in-ground posts while cutting material and labor expenses. In fact, the method delivers 40% cost savings relative to metal building methods, making it an excellent economic choice for constructing barns, sheds, or playhouses with enduring stability and efficiency.

The durability of a pole barn is proven by its lifespan of 40 to 60 years and the potential to reach 100 years with enhancements. Reinforced with metal components and maintained diligently, these structures deliver lasting performance. In contrast, stick-built buildings offer durability for 60 to 80 years but require more extensive construction, making pole barns a reliable long-term investment when properly upgraded.

The best foundation for a pole barn depends on its use and budgetary restraints. Most homeowners and builders use a concrete cookie pad, which is the most affordable option while still offering stability. Perma-columns, which are precast concrete columns that keep wood out of the ground, are usually the most expensive, longest-lasting option. They can prevent posts from rotting.

Financing a pole barn with a traditional mortgage is not possible because lenders do not approve conventional home loans for these structures. Homeowners must explore alternative financing or specialized credit options. Pole barns require additional considerations such as increased insulation costs and specific permit requirements, so funding these projects demands thorough research into alternative loan structures to secure the investment.
