"Flo arrived on time as scheduled for the project. All necessary supplies were on hand. He and his associate worked smoothly together. The project consisted of replacing 11 steps and risers and all stair trim. Flo completed the carpentry part in one day. His painters came the next day and applied 2 coats of paint. The porch looks great. The project price was fair and competitive. Not only are we 100% satisfied with Osman Carpentry, but we are scheduled to have them complete another 3 projects for us and probably a 4th project after that. You will be glad you hired them. It was a pleasure doing business with them."

"Jose is very accommodating- thorough- I wanted two shelves attached to my kitchen soffit to salt and pepper shakers in my kitchen- he measured very carefully, painted the wood and they were placed with precision- Jose is kind and when he was going to need an extra day to complete he gave me enough notice- he cleaned up and I would highly recommend him for all your carpentry needs."

"GF framed a four story gut-rehab that I was the Project Manager for in Lincoln Park. They also added a four story back addition, installed all new Marvin windows, 7 skylights and all of the custom trim and molding throughout. They are technically precise and skilled builders. I continue to have them do other projects as they arise. I highly recommend their workmanship."

"I strongly recommend this contractor. Jason is very thoughtful, skilled, and deeply cares about producing high quality work, while also being mindful of costs and deadlines. Jason has advised me several times, explaining the technical issues that arose each time and the possible solutions. His advice has spanned everything from dealing with insurance and suppliers, to suggesting service providers and solutions for work that he does not do himself. He has always been transparent and helpful along the way, and able to come up with clever solutions to address the challenges that arose along the way. In a business that relies in no small part on trust and where clients are at a knowledge disadvantage, I felt that I could fully trust Jason and his crew and I've learned a lot in the process."

"We purchased an older home and after living in it for a couple of months discovered a few issues in the attic and on the outside of the house that needed to be addressed. We also wanted to add additional interior lighting in three bedrooms and replace light fixtures on the outside of the home. Jeremy, from Grandview Construction, professionally addressed all our concerns regarding the necessary repairs to the house. He gave us an honest opinion on what needed to be handled and what steps needed to be taken to correct the issues. Because of Jeremyâ s home construction knowledge and carpentry skills, we were able to address the issues with the house along with making the improvements we were looking for at the same time. After working with Grandview Construction, on our house, I can say with full confidence that I would recommend their services. Grandview showed honesty, integrity, and professionalism in their work. Plus, the improvements they completed to our house turned out fantastic."

"Overall Builders and its owner Robert were fantastic. Easy to work with, extremely accommodating, competitive pricing and the quality of work was superb! The tile pattern we chose was extremely challenging and Victor, Robert's tile guy, nailed it! We will, absolutely, use Overall Bulders for all our home remodel/repair needs in the future!"

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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. 

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
