I have been in the construction industry for over 15 years. I have spent the last 10 years primarily managing large multifamily, single family and hotel projects, both new build and remodels. I recently started this business and I am eager to connect to see how we can work together to make your project idea a reality. I am fully licensed and insured and can adapt to whatever requirements your project may have. \n
"I hired KNR to remodel my house this last spring. After bringing in a couple other contractors to put in bids I went with KNR because he seemed to be a little more knowledgable and his prices were reasonable as well. The project went smooth and everything was completed on time. The quality of the work was top notch, you can tell that the owner really takes pride in their work. Would highly recommend!"
"Donald was AMAZING. I purchased a home from a builder that was listed as a four bedroom, but when I inspected the home prior to closing, I realized it was a three bedroom with a bonus room. Most contractors told me they were unable to take the job because the project was too small, but Donald was eager to help (even though he typically works on much larger projects, too). He was transparent about costs and timing and worked within what he promised. I would absolutely hire Donald again, and if you're looking for someone who is honest and does great work, contact Idahome Builders!!"
"We are really happy with what Paul and his crew did for us. We started with a plan and began searching for contractors. We were almost settled on a contractor who was going to do most of what we wanted, but insisted that raising our kitchen ceiling would be cost prohibitive. We then decided to get more opinions. I found Paul here on Angieslist and he came out. He was up in the attic for about 10 minutes and then reported that there is no reason why the ceiling couldn't be raised for a reasonable cost. After discussing this for quite some time, I hired an engineer to validate what Paul proposed and draw up the engineering plans for the project. Once that cleared we hired Paul and began the project. Paul totally worked with us. We wanted a hybrid approach where we had tons of involvement but he managed the project. I still can't believe how smooth it all went. There really weren't any big surprises and Paul was not only a great contractor but he also became a good advisor and in couple cases advised against some of the ideas we had and provided good reasons why which we never would have thought of until it was too late. Overall, the project consisted of a complete tear down and remodel of the kitchen, including the ceiling lift. He also helped with our fireplace, HVAC and a few other things throughout the house. We now feel like we have a very custom model home. I hope we don't have to run another project like this, but if we do, we'll be calling Paul to run it. Thanks Paul."

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
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.
A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
