"Working with Home Reimagined is how you would want working with any contractor to go. Efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, tidy. Nate and his crew made sure my satisfaction was priority, NOT getting through the work to get the next project. Our work entailed framing, insulation, drywall, and texturing in an unfinished portion of our basement. They even worked with our needs to customize framing into tray ceilings to hide bulkheads and duct work. Work that could have easily left large messes throughout our house. They were courteous enough to lay down canvas blankets in their traffic areas and always left a clean worksite at the end of the day. Weâ ve already reached out to Home Reimagined for our next home remodel project and will definitely be working with them again in the future."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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. 

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.
