"I contacted Thrifty Dee for a stair repair project for our rental property. We had a tight timeline due to a tenant moving in a couple of days. Dee was able to get to the property and assess the project within a couple of hours. He completed the job the very next day. His quality of work and attention to detail was phenomenal. His fee for the scope of work was more than fair. I will definitely use Thrifty Dee again for future projects as well as recommend him to anyone in need of a carpenter."

"These guys stayed on task, took care of my lawn when building the deck, and stayed in close communication with me during the build out. Project was completed on time and gave me some great ideas on various alternatives I could go with regarding a pergola. Wonderful experience."

"Scott is a very dedicated, talented and customer pleasing man! He gladly came back and retouched the stain on the new front door he installed... 3 times! The door itself was expertly installed and his advice from the start was invaluable. Call him! You will be so glad you did...we are!"

"From the estimate through completion, Craig and his crew were amazing. He kept me involved and let me explain plans and worked with me to make it happen. They are beyond reasonable in pricing, efficient and clean when on site. My neighbors has work done based on their actions at my house. There's tons of companies that are fancy and play games, these guys don't. Do your self a favor and hire them."

Customers say: Quick response

"Follow up to my previous review as at the time I had to leave town and had not seen the final product, the results were perfect, exactly what I was expecting. To reiterate, working with Adam and Rachel was great, they are professional, friendly, communicative with customer satisfaction of top importance. Would absolutely work with again. After removing the popcorn ceilings, painting the ceilings and walls, the transformation was dramatic, thank you again."

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.

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. 

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
