"Stephen was so easy to work with. He had some great ideas that we did not even think of that really made our new bathroom pop! he was here when he said he would be, he missed a day but came on a Saturday to make it up. Cleaned up every day. We took the bathroom down to the studs and he built the walls out with better, stronger lumber, did NOT cut corners even though it was clear he was very busy. He was done when he said he would be even though we asked him to do a little more. He was not the least expensive but, I believe he was fairly priced. top quality work. I am hoping I can get him to remodel our Kitchen next year. He worked with me to get the job sized right so I could afford it and he would be able to do a great job. Great guy, great workers, and we love the completed project."

"Eric (the owner) and his crew were complete professional. Omundsen construction corp went above and beyond of what we originally agreed upon. Several times during the project I made changes to what was agreed upon, and Eric always told me no problem. Eric and his crew did what they said they were going to do and more, all while never cutting corners. They showed up to work every day on time, and they got the job done leaving my house better then what it was. Eric was not only my contractor, but became my friend. I recommend this company you won’t be sorry."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
