"I hired Rudy to remodel two bathrooms and spruce up two decks. He did a great job. The bathrooms were full remodels, converting tubs to showers, redoing tile, and updating the vanities. Rudy was reliable, timely and stayed on budget. He communicated well throughout the project and did high quality work. I'd use him again for future projects and recommend him to others."

"Jarrad and his crew did such an amazing job on our addition!!! We had no idea how to start the process or even where to start and he took care of everything from start to finish with us so we still felt involved. He had great ideas to help save money but also to help bring our vision to life!! He was very observant throughout the entire build and honest with any questions we had and his crew were great and easy to get along with. We highly highly recommend him and his team if you are in need of an addition or remodel, I think he even builds new homes also. Canâ t thank him enough."

"I had purchased a rear swing out spare tire kit. It needed to be welded together. I drove 2.5 hours because I wanted it done right. Garrett went above and beyond my expectations! Beautiful welds, incredible customer service and the turn around time was unbelievable! Pricing A+ Customer service A+ Turn around time A+ I will be bringing all of my welding projects to Ivory Iron Works. It is a 100 miles away but worth every mile in the saddle to get the job done Right!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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.

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.

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.
