"Considering the age of the home (over 100 years), where many unknowns were expected and encountered, the job went well. The quality demanded by the contractor was exceptional. Areas that needed updating were not neglected, instead improved using high-quality materials and workmanship. The new edition blends well into the original structure."

"Holy cow are these guys amazing! The amount of polish and attention to detail that they put into every project is incredible. They don't just get the job done right, they keep going and get it to look like brand new construction, with every single angle looking perfect. They were fairly priced, communicative, punctual, tidy, friendly, professional, and organized. The owner and head honcho Chad is a master carpenter and problem solver that treats your home like his, and his near-obsession with perfection and correct execution is infectious. I had no idea a repair job could look so good afterwards. They use only the highest quality materials. In fact, I imagine Chad is the kind of top-of-his-game professional that attends home remodeling trade shows and conventions to keep up with emerging materials and technologies that push the boundaries of what's possible in home building and repair. He's educated and knowledgable about his craft and it shows in everything he executes. I've dealt with dozens of repairmen in the past but Chad and his team are the ones I've observed that actually seem, well, passionate about getting it done right, making it look professional, and educating you on the process and materials. This passion for the craft and joy that they bring to the job site is truly one of a kind. Chad is the kind of pro that the This Old House crew would trust to feature on an episode where some big nasty problem needs real outside the box cleverness and intelligence and cutting edge tech or tool to get the job done correctly and fully. And if he can't figure it out you know he's going to research the **** out of it and get the job done - the man and his crew are careful, meticulous problem solvers and skilled craftsmen who are always thinking five steps ahead. Like I said, they don't merely know what they're doing - they really like what they're doing and it shines through. The level of quality work and detail they do would easily meet the obnoxiously high standards of our local Disney World theme parks. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Chad and his crew have worked on some theme park projects around here. Scheduling, paying, and communicating was a breeze, too, thanks to Dale. She was so kind and thoughtful and organized through the whole process, handling all of the paperwork and orchestrating the crew behind the scenes. Top to bottom this is a professional organization and their reputation for excellence is well deserved. You get every penny's worth and so much more - the peace of mind that you did not hire some knucklehead that's going to cut corners or miss something on the job site. Basically, if you are picky picky and your eyes go straight to small details out of place or blemishes, then you won't have anything to annoy your eye when they're done because after they leave the whole place feels fresh and transformed and you can relax knowing that everything was done correctly. I will be using One Of A Kind again, no hesitation"

"Brisana was without a doubt the right choice. Jose reached out to me when I posted the project and was able to come to my home for an estimate the same day. He was professional, approachable and knowledgeable. I had a short deadline because we were expecting house guests less than a week later so he not only brought in his team but rolled up his sleeves and painted himself to get the job done. I picked the wrong color, twice, and they all dealt with the additional work of repainting the same areas without blinking twice. I was never made to feel like it was a burden or a problem. The entire team, Jose, Arturo and Sabrina were professional, efficient and courteous. My husband, son and I were home the entire time and they worked around us and were pleasant and considerate of our space and schedule. The quality of the work was outstanding and meticulous. I was beyond thrilled to find out that Jose is a general contractor as well, so I am looking forward to many more projects together to come. One and done and great quality at a fair price. What can be better than that."

"Can't say enough about this company. I'm a local Realtor and I get asked for referrals all the time, I never hesitate to give their number. Not only is the work 5 Star Level, the communication exceeds expectations, which is tough to find in a Contractor. I appreciate it when a company is up front and honest from the beginning, and keeps their promises."

"We replaced our kitchen tile and built in a portion of our patio. The work was scheduled and completed efficiently. All the contractors were very respectful and worked efficiently and completed the projects in about 10 days from start to finish. Shawn Whitehorse, our project manager did a great job ensuring the work was completed correctly. It was a very positive experience. Plastic was put up to reduce the dust in the rest of our house. They put paper down when they worked on the drywall to reduce the mess of dust and eliminate tracking drywall all through our home. I would highly recommend Boyer Building and Shawn Whitehorse for anyone looking for a builder."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
