"I'm very happy with the work that I had done as well as the very fair price. David made sure to explain what was happening as he completed the project, and worked with me on the best way to address some issues that were uncovered as the old roof was removed. They showed up exactly when they said they would, and finished right on schedule."

"Jeff came out and did an assessment prior to replacing the front door. I explained to him our concerns about water intrusion around the door and he was able to address those when he installed the new door. I was happy that he gave me a written estimate with the painting both included and excluded (I’m doing the painting)."

"The project was completed on budget and on time. Jose was helpful in suggesting some minor changes to ensure the end product was seamless and and perfect in every way. Workmanship was outstanding. Most of all, the communication throught the project was refreshing. The crew would show up on time and was respectful of our home. They cleaned up the work area at the end of every day. I would strongly recommend Jose and his crew. We were extremely pleased and would hire them in the future."

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
