"Superior quality of work! Awesome crew! Dependable! Timely! Priced well! This is the third time we've used Casa Grande, and we've recommended them to our friends (who've also been very pleased). They're very professional and easy to work with. They're honest to a fault. Our first project was a major house renovation for my daughter, including shoring up unlevel floors on the 2nd floor, removing a load bearing wall, building a new staircase, reconstructing new floors that had rotted, and painting throughout the house. Our second project was building a new deck at our house. Our third project included installing tile floors in four rooms, installing a storm door, and painting throughout my mother's house. In all three projects, we were completely satisfied and very happy with the results. You simply will not find a better contractor and construction crew. They're the best!!"

"Alex, Eddy, and all the guys did a wonderful job with this deck / screen porch build! They were very polite and straightforward with their pricing and services. I honestly do not believe anyone could've done this job any better. Feel confident about hiring these gentlemen and know you can trust them to do the job right. They take pride in their work and their reputation, and it shows in the quality of work they provide."

"He works steady and pays attention to detail. He repaired a privacy fence that a large section had fallen down. Does not waste time. He is courteous and takes time to explain how he is going to make the repair. I recommend him to anyone and plan to call him again for future repairs and new projects."

"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

"Butler and Associates Construction did a wonderful job on our new driveway. They tore out the old cracked driveway and replaced it with a new smooth and solid surface for our family to enjoy. They were efficient, professional and treated our property with respect leaving a clean worksite each day. We get compliments on our new driveway almost every day from neighbors walking past. Can’t recommend Jonathan and his crew enough!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
