"One of a Kind Carpenter was terrific. All the work was completed- even though we ran into some challenges, which they quickly resolved. I have an older house, and these were not anticipated with the job. I also added on to the project a few times, which they managed to do in a timely fashion, and the quality of work was impeccable. I would highly recommend him, and I will not use anyone else for my work now."

"After searching many different companies, I was very please with the review that I read on Angie's list. June was always very responsive to my many questions, and explained the options of what we could do with the piece. We didn't want to hide the beautiful wood work by painting it, so we decided to have it stripped and stained. Victor and Jerry were so kind, professional and careful with the piece. They even took a leaf that we had wanted the China cabinet to match, and they did it flawlessly! I would highly recommend this company, and we will definitely be using them again very soon. Thank you!! :-)"

"From the first day I met Greg the owner I was impressed. Greg & Josh performed excellent work. Greg and team build our covered 16 ‘x 22’ front porch on our Mobil Home. We knew the exact cost for the total project was. Everyday before they left my house they clean up all of their building supplies. We highly recommend Badal’s Construction Company."

"We had a bar built with no plans, just an idea in our heads. He was able to translate that into an excellent product, exactly as we envisioned. He kept in touch with us throughout the build, excellent communication skills. Delivered and set up as promised. I highly recommend Kyle as a carpenter and as a person. Honest and a caring professional."

"From estimate to finished work M&P was awesome. They took down an old wooden fence and put up a new one for us. They were meticulous in their work and the finished product is something we are proud to have around our home. I would heartily recommend them and plan on using them for other work we need to have done."

"It was a pleasure to work with Javier. He always wanted to make sure that I'm completely satisfied with job I hired him for. I'm very happy with my new kitchen, Javier did everything - demolition, cabinets and all appliances installation. He even leveled marble floor under the kitchen appliances to make sure they are leveled appropriately. He completed his job on time as promised. Excellent service."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
