"My husband had been hospitalized for 2 1/2 months, and we were needing a handicap ramp installed at our house. Mr. Freeman (Kurt) responded quickly to our request and provided professional insight regarding ADA compliance and the best materials for our needs. He and his carpenter, James, always arrived on time and the ramp exceeded our expectations, it ties in great with our house and yard. We also needed handrails on our front porch so my husband could maneuver the two steps, Kurt and James installed them; the handrails were more work than expected (and not part of the original plan) but they persevered. I wanted this project to be completed so my husband could be home for his birthday, 9 May, he is being discharged tomorrow, Friday, 8 May. Thanks, Kurt for making this po FreemanMade LLC. is a phenomenal company who listens to your concerns and works to give you the best products and prices. We would definitely recommend him for ALL your projects!"

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
