Customers say: Quick response

"Well, this was an early Christmas gift! Found Dylan through home advisors. He promptly called after we sought a handyman to replace our fireplace mantle. Itâ s harder than heck to find someone, anyone, to do small household projects, let alone someone so quickly. We exchanged photos of the old mantle and the new one. Dylan promised to stop by to finally estimate the project. Hereâ s the best part: Dylan, who makes for a very good first impression, offered to start the job right then and there, saying he could do the demo work and finish two days later. Hereâ s the even better part: He completed the demo and then mounted the new new mantle the same day. We were very happy with the care he took as he did the project, including adding an additional way to secure the mantle to the wall so not even one of our famous earthquakes could move it from its mountings. Really excellent work. We would definitely hire him again. Patrick"

"It can be really difficult to find the right contractor, one who is honest, shows up on time and does quality work at realistic prices. I found them in Bielefield Construction! This company has a great crew with many talents. Ray built us a dream deck that will last at least two life times. Thank you Bielefield Construction and crew."

"Julio is a person who knows how to get the job done. We put out bids to have the bathroom in our rental redone, and decided to accept his bid. He and his crew had the job done in about 2 weeks. They fixed the floor, put in new linoleum, a bathroom ceiling fan/vent and new tile around the bathtub. They also installed a roof ridge vent, along with three other roof vents. They took care of a few miscellaneous projects and cleaned up their mess. I was very pleased. I definitely plan on looking him up for future projects."

"The employees were great. A couple of days there was only 1 man on the job due to illness. The company did not replace him, so the 1 man had to work alone, slowing down the completion of the project. Art and Johnny were great to work with. Communication with the office was a little lacking, but overall we are happy with the work."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
