Q: 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&rsquo;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>

Q: How far can a bump-out addition extend?

• <div><p>Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.</p></div>

Q: Can a bungalow have a second floor?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How tall is a standard Cape Cod house?

• <div><p>Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they&rsquo;re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings. </p></div>

Q: Can you frame a house by yourself?

• <div><p>While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buying or building a house</a> with the guidance of professionals.</p></div>

Absolutely NOT. Dan and his crew started our deck demolition June 8 and we let him go on July 22 (deck was still unfinished). If you want to hire this company, that is your decision, we CAN NOT in good faith recommend this company to anyone ever.
