"After we had Matt do our deck for us in Plympton last year we called him to do a basement remodel in a recently purchased home in Plymouth. He was able to handle the permitting issues, and include the framing, drywall, electrical and painting. He brought the project in on time and within the budget that he quoted."

Was leary of home advisor before after many bad experiences. Glad I tried again and found Jones construction he will be on my short list of contactors in the future."

"Mike did a great job on the install of our dropped ceiling. He returned phone calls, was honest, showed up when he said he would show up, cleaned up and was helpful with other aspects of our overall project. I can't recommend Mike for any and all of your home building projects. Look no further than M. Grigs Construction. His assistant was another highlight of having Grigs Construction complete our project. Thanks Mike!!"

"Ed and Bob were incredibly detail oriented from design to implementation. Very high quality solution done in a short time period - worked within the confines of my very old home and did the work with lots of care not to disturb existing structure. Extremely professional work (end of day tools kept neatly, no trash, very organized job) and clean. Highly recommend for french drain or basement drain systems."

"Kye and the team at KBBuilders transformed my old deck into a beautiful new one that looks absolutely gorgeous! From start to finish, communication was excellent, the price was very fair, they arrived on time, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommended!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.
