"I needed a new front storm door. Cesar arrived on time to do the estimate and we agreed that I would buy the door of my choice at Home Depot and he would pick it up his team would install it. They came on time and had the old door down (which they hauled away) and the new door up in less than two hours. Very good job competently done. Thank you Cesar and Antonio!"

"Emilio with 614 Drywall was great to work with and delivered a great product. I had them tape, mud, and texture some walls that only had drywall hung and needed repairs. They fixed everything and made it look beautiful. Emilio even personally came by to fix a couple small adjustments that i requested 2 weeks after the job was done. I would highly recommend!"

T-N-T came out and gave me an instant quote, while I was in the research of who to hire. they gave me a time frame of getting the deck done and called when they had an earlier date to complete. they came in and had it done within a week. I would hire this company again."

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.
