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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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

Depending on your carport's configuration, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it’s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it’s best left to the professionals.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
