Do bow windows need support?

• <div><p>Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.</p></div>

How do you know if you need a new door frame?

• <div><p>A few signs that you need a new door frame include:</p><ul><li><p>The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.</p></li><li><p>You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.</p></li><li><p>You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.</p></li><li><p>You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is framing a basement challenging?

• <div><p>While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That&rsquo;s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation. </p></div>

Q: How hard is it to turn a carport into a garage?

• <div><p>Depending on your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-carport.htm">carport's configuration</a>, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it&rsquo;s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it&rsquo;s best left to the professionals. </p></div>

Q: Can you extend the length of your garage?

• <div><p>Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. </p></div>
